It is rather surprising how although the brain is arguably the most important organ in the body, most may sympathize with the heart, but clearly some seem to live and get by just fine without a heart but I digress, not more emphasis is placed on mental health. However the heart is an organ that can be replaced like kidneys and colons. The brain however is irreplaceable, it is the control center that commands it all, automatically regulates the heartbeat, controls the central nervous systems that keeps us safe and so on.

It is amazing that it’s only now that mental workout is more widely accepted after earlier generations had made great use of it. It’s also surprising why it doesn’t play a much larger role in our educational system. The prevailing view is that our youth are not stimulated enough in school, so what better way than mental workout. A significant number of people push themselves to the brink to stay in top physical shape so how is it that we neglect the most important part of the body. The brain controls everything, decides your mood, emotions, your eating habits etc.

Each day brings new information and insights into how the brain works. The brain controls entirely your whole life, so doesn’t it make sense to grab that control wheel. The brain sends millions of messages throughout your entire body in seconds, it contains itself over 100 billion neurons. Consider that outstanding number and then begin to see the endless possibilities of your potential. Take total control of how you use your brain, work it out to allow its maximum performance.

It is important that we exercise the most important of all organs on a daily basis. Nowadays people are working longer and harder and of course stress starts to take a toll on the body making it harder to function at our best. Mental workout is as simple as waking up early, perhaps you can take the scenic route to work, don’t be late of course. Also you could try to listen to different type of music or listen to another radio station besides your usual.

One could easily begin a daily mental workout routine by just listening to classical music. There can be no other signs of real baby genius than that of Mozart. His father was also a successful composer, so we can picture a baby Mozart receiving all those magical sound waves through his mom’s belly that gave him such a significant advantage in his early days. Could you imagine what his kindergarten teacher had to deal with. Giving other kids their ABC’s and Mozart is working on concerto in D major. So until I see another case of early superb genius from other genre of music, I would highly recommend classical music as the best. Studies prove that listening to Mozart can increase your IQ, boost your creativity and lower anxiety.

When we learn or do something new, we expand our brain, we build new connections and perhaps discover new ways of evaluating problems, new ways of considering things. Win the battle over fear, accept it, take it on, challenge it and learn to handle it. The universe is expanding, be open to expanding your mind alongside it. Later when you look back, you will be surprised about what took you so long.

The brain is a complex organ, but one must treat it like a muscle in the body that can be worked out daily. However you wouldn’t just head to the gym and start lifting heavy weights straight away, one would gradually build enough strength to progress after time. The same case applies here, you want to warm up your brain and gradually grow in confidence as you begin to discover the huge potential possible.

You may feel confident given your chosen profession that you possibly don’t need a daily mental workout. However the brain is such a complex machine that even if you are constantly thinking hard on the job, you might not be developing new and different connections in your brain regularly. Just as though you always took the exact same route to work every day. The brain gets lazy and used to the same old routine. The brain needs change and stimulus. Frankly speaking most people these days whether in the mail room or in the penthouse suite are probably performing the same daily work functions every day.
