A Brand New Series on Training Your Brain

Introduction

It goes without saying that the current public health crisis (actually, I mean COVID-19, not monkeypox), has caused many of us to question the choices we are making about our health and fitness.

The lockdowns, and the economic fallout from those lockdowns, have had an additional impact on physical and mental health.

Since the lifting of those lockdowns, and the accompanying program to get as many people vaccinated as possible, many have revived their interest in health and fitness and, to that end, they are spending a lot of time in the gym in a bid to try and build more muscle and regain their body’s shape, or they are out running and walking to increase their physical fitness.

This is an admirable aim, after all, a healthy body is a healthy mind, right?

How many of us actually train our brains?

No, I do NOT mean through the use of apps that are only designed to teach you to be good at one thing and don’t really train your whole brain.

I mean, training your brain through the development of a variety of skills and abilities.

For those of us who still have careers or run businesses, our brains are what we use to achieve different aims.

They are what we use to

• manage our relationships,
• handle money,
• navigate life,
• learn new skills and more.

So if you’re going to spend time training your body, it only stands to reason that you should spend at least the same amount of time training your brain.

So why aren’t more people already training their brains?

Largely, this comes down to the fact that many people don’t realize quite the extent to which their brains can be trained, or quite the extent to which their brain function can be improved through simply following the best health practices – through the right nutrition, lifestyle and more.

And, more to the point, most people are completely unaware of just how unhealthy their current routine is for their brain.

They have no idea that the things they’re doing every single day are actually damaging their brains.

And not only does this prevent those people from performing optimally every day but it could also lead to a higher chance of dementia or Alzheimer’s.

Just think what you could accomplish if instead of degrading and abusing your brain, you, instead, focused on nourishing it, training it, and helping it to grow.

You just might become limitless.

What You’ll Learn in This Series

As mentioned, most people have, at some time, shown a basic interest in improving their physical fitness and strength.

For this reason, they, at least, have a basic idea of what fitness training entails and how to look after their body’s health.

However, it appears that brain health is a far less understood topic, and that this is an area that many people lack even basic knowledge of.

This series, then, will serve as a basic primer and introduction to your brain, as well as an advanced guide to how you can develop it and nurture it.

We will cover everything from the basics of how the brain functions and good nutrition, all the way to much more advanced topics such as smart drugs, ‘embodied cognition’ and brainwave entrainment.

You will learn:

• How your brain works
• The nature of intelligence
• How brain plasticity changes everything we once knew about the brain
• Why the right nutrition is crucial for optimum brain function
• The best lifestyle practices for increasing intelligence and improving performance
• How to increase focus and concentration
• How to train your body to train your mind
• How to use the right kind of brain training to enhance your cognition
• How nootropics work, who is taking them and whether you should take them yourself
• Psychological tricks like CBT to help your brain work for you
• The power of meditation
• Top things you need to STOP doing to avoid damaging your brain
• And MUCH more

By the end of the series, you will have an increased understanding of your own brain and how to make the most of it.

As a result, you can start to improve specific aspects of your brain, as well as its overall function.

This will have huge impact on pretty much every area of your life as you become more effective in social settings, less tired, more sympathetic toward others (and better able to manipulate their emotions and thoughts), more attuned to your own strengths and weaknesses and more.

Once you learn to upgrade your own brainpower, you can trigger exponential improvements in every area of your life.

Are you ready for that change?

In the first article in this new series, you will learn about implementing accelerated learning techniques.
