10 Tips for Treating your Brain Right
1.
Keep
well, hydrated. Your brain
needs plenty of water for its “Electronic circuitry” to function effectively.
2.
Take
regular stretch breaks.
Your brain needs lots of oxygenated blood to working well. Just standing up releases
an extra 20 percent.
3.
Always
give the big picture first.
Your brain is constantly trying to make connections, so giving the big picture
in advance allows it time to make sense of things and gather together all it
knows about a particular subject, even for someone who loves to focus on the
details.
4.
Avoid
taking at people for long periods. Your mind can only absorb a certain amount of new data and unless the
speaker is very talented it will switch off after 20 minutes or so.
5.
Vary
the ways you give out information. Our minds are all different, some preferring visual, some auditory, and
some the kinesthetic experience of getting up and “doing” something.
6.
Think
about Concentration spans.
While it is helpful to stay on task when you are flowing well, regular short
breaks every 20 or 30minutes often help the mind to remain engaged.
7.
Break
big things down into accessible bits. Your brain finds it easier to deal with big issues
when they are broken down into smaller elements.
8.
Use
humor. There is evidence
that when you laugh your brain releases chemicals called endorphins that act as
relaxants.
9.
Don’t
create fear in others if you want them to perform well. Under stress, our brains think only of survival and
higher-order thinking stops happening effectively.
