The brain machine…

nuggetsoflearning • September 18, 2017

The brain operates everything and in the evenings like any piece of machinery its tired.  We turn the telly up a little louder as we can’t hear so well and we lose the ability to make decisions about what to eat, we are slowing down.

To relax you might look at your Facebook account, however the same process required to read an email is the same process as to look at your social media.  The brain machine has the functionality to read whether it be work or not work.  The mechanics cannot differentiate the same psychological activity whatever you are reading.  If you are tired the topic won’t make a difference the machine is operating slower.

We need to maintain the brain as we would any other piece of machinery.  Your car is serviced and requires an MOT, how much love and care do you give your brain:-

  • Stare into space – give it a break
  • Drink lots of water
  • Eat the right food
  • Keep up the agility – do a sudoko
  • Limit screen time
  • Physical activity
  • Rest it – lots of sleep

Look after your brain this week and for a nugget workshop please do look at our website www.nuggetsoflearning.co.uk  or contact  bev@nuggetsoflearning.co.uk
