Having a sharp mind has a lot of benefits especially in a working environment. It will keep you ahead of the rest in your field. Not to mention, being able to remember those names you are always forgetting or where you put your keys, phone etc.

Here are simple tips to help you keep your mind sharp.

1. Continue reading and absorbing knowledge

Knowledge is a powerful tool. The only way to sharpen your brain is to be knowledgeable on as many things as possible.

Read books and papers on subjects in your field as well as in others you know nothing about. Read books of any kind that will stimulate your brain.

The idea is to keep constantly challenge your mind so as to sharpen it.

2. Learn a new skill

Make it a point to learn a new skill as often as possible. Learn several languages, learn how to play different instruments or whatever skill you feel you should learn.

This will not only open up your mind and allow you to absorb more things, it will also be very beneficial in your career.

For example in order to work for most NGOs you need to know at least one foreign language. Therefore the more skills you learn the more unique you are. This then increases your chances of getting a job or a promotion.

3. Eat fish….. Eat well and rest

Your health is majorly depended on your diet, so does the health of your brain. Eat fish as this is known to be very good for your brain. Its recommended that you eat fish at least once every week.

Not sleeping enough will lead to fatigue and your brain doesn’t function well when you are tired. Which is why they say the best time to learn something new is in the morning when you are not tired.

Getting enough sleep is also very important when it comes to keeping your mind sharp. Without proper rest, your body and brain become limited.

Get enough exercise as well, when you are feeling depressed and unmotivated, it is always a good idea to go for a run or take a walk. This will work wonders on your brains performance as well.

5. Don’t have Reminders

Most people have set reminders or lists to help them remember. Instead of keeping your list in sight, put it far away and try to see how many things you can remember without referring to the list.

In time you will find that you do not need to write a note to help you remember and you would have sharpened your mind.
