Are you having problems with thinking skills? Here are some tips to help you improve your mental performance.

Steps

1. 1 Do breathing exercises. The best option is to inhale with your belly. Many people are unaware of this breathing method. Take a few slow breaths, energizing your abdomen. These breathing exercises activate the brain. This will help improve your thinking skills and memory.
   • Deep breathing also increases the oxygen supply to the brain cells. As a result, they become more active.
2. 2 Research shows that chewing gum can improve your thinking ability. Chewing gum increases blood flow to the brain. Such people have the best ability to concentrate and remember information. It's good to use sugar-free gum to avoid any side effects.
3. 3 You can also try circular motions with your hand. Find a place where no one will see you. It is enough to make 10-15 circular movements with your hand. While doing such exercises, stretch your hand forward, then do circular rotations with your hand. Remember to keep your elbow locked while doing the exercises. As a result of such exercises, your heart rate will improve, which has a positive effect on the functioning of the brain.
4. 4 Don't forget about educational games. The puzzles put the brain in active mode. You can use different types of crosswords, sudoku, etc. for this purpose.
5. 5 Drink plenty of water. Don't get carried away with soda, cola, or coffee. It is also not advisable to consume chocolate and sweets. These sweets can impair your ability to concentrate and remember information. Many people become dehydrated without realizing it. Your brain always reacts sharply to this. For this reason, make sure you are drinking enough water.
6. 6 Foods that are too high in fat and sugar are bad for your thinking ability. By not eating at all, you will be tired all the time. Therefore, eat small meals and a balanced meal. Include fish, vegetables, and whole grains in your diet. These foods have a beneficial effect on the functioning of the brain.
7. 7 When you are learning, try to activate all your senses. Different parts of the brain remember different sensory data.For example, one part of the brain is responsible for recognizing and memorizing pictures, and another is responsible for sounds.
8. 8 When learning something new, set a timer. Set aside a certain amount of time to study new material, you can also divide the learning process into specific parts. Perhaps the following option is suitable for someone: reading - 10 minutes, 20 to review the material covered and 10 minutes to tell out loud what you have learned. This will further stimulate you as your time will be limited.
