Over a period of time, it was believed that humans were born with a certain level of intelligence and the best they could do was live up to their potential.
Now scientists have proven that in fact we can increase our potentials and enjoy this process more. We know we can learn more thanks to new skills and stimulate the brain to function faster and better.
Here are seven passions that will make you smarter and why this happens.
1. If you play an instrument
If you play music, it helps creativity, analytical, linguistic, mathematical skills, significantly improves motor skills in the brain and the like. While all of these are great advantages, some people argue that playing on sports teams brings the same thing.
But if you play a musical instrument, it strengthens the connection of the brain by creating more connections between the hemispheres. This type of improvement helps with better executive skills, memory, problem solving, and better brain function regardless of age.
2. Read everything
The benefits of reading no matter what you prefer to read, are huge. Reading reduces stress, makes you feel better about yourself, and boosts three types of intelligence: emotional, fluid, and crystallized.
This helps you better solve problems, combine different types of knowledge, and find ways to better understand certain processes. Reading also helps you to interpret and respond to people's feelings.
At work this translates into a better understanding of what is happening and better management skills.
3. Regular exercise
If you train occasionally, it will not help you as much as regular training. The latter is very effective because the cells are charged with a protein that helps with memory, learning, concentration and comprehension. We also refer to this condition as mental acuity.
Some scientists speculate that sitting for long periods of time has the opposite effect and makes our brain feel blurred.
4. Learning a new language
Harrojeni zgjidhjen e mistereve për të përmirësuar kujtesën. Mësoni një gjuhë të re në vend të kësaj. Kërkimet kanë treguar se njerëzit që dinë më shumë se një gjuhë, janë më të mirë për të zgjidhur lojëra misteresh sesa ata që flasin vetëm një gjuhë. Nëse mësoni me sukses një gjuhë të re, kjo bën që truri të funksionojë më mirë në detyrat që i ngarkoni. Këtu përfshihen edhe aftësitë tipike ekzekutive si planifikimi dhe zgjidhja e problemeve.
5. Testoni mësimin kumulativ
Shumë studentë inteligjentë në gjimnaz i ushtrojnë vetes presion që të mësojnë një grup të caktuar njohurish për një periudhë të dhënë. Kjo ka rezultat, por në fakt këto njohuri harrohen shumë shpejt. Një studim ka zbuluar se duhet të përdorim mësimin përmes mbledhjes ose grumbullimit të të dhënave për të pasur efekt më të mirë afatgjatë. Aplikoni këtë lloj mësimi në jetën tuaj të përditshme për të mbledhur ngadalë copëzat e nevojshme të njohurive dhe do të kuptoni se është një pasion i koleksionimit të dijes që sjell shumë përparësi.
6. Stërviteni trurin
Every type of game from Sudoku to trainers and video games helps you increase neuroplasticity. This helps open up many new connection opportunities in your brain, which leads to finding new ways to solve problems faster and better. Take advantage of every possible game to give the brain a new look at behavior and emotions.
7. Meditation
In 1992, the Dalai Lama invited scientist Richard Davidson to study his brain waves during meditation to find out if he generated any specific waves by command.
It turns out that when he and the other monks focused on a single thought, their mental state deepened further towards that thought. If you too have a passion for meditation, then that means you can control your brain waves and have more mind power in your hand.
