The human brain is the soul of the human nervous system. It controls involuntary activities such as respiration, digestion, and heartbeat, which are also known as automatic functions of the body. This organ also controls other conscious activities that are considered as higher order activities like reasoning, abstraction, and thought. The human brain is superior to any other brain of any other living species that are known to humankind.

The brain is also the center by which other human characteristics are defined. Creativity, for example, is much associated with the brain. So is personality. The brain lets us make decisions and define colors and smells. This organ controls every other perceived activity of the human body.

However, the human brain, as strong and as invincible as it may look, is not going to stay that way forever. As with any other part of the body, the human brain will wither in the future. One’s lifestyle and all other external factors will take a toll against the human brain. As one grows old, the human brain will become slower in terms of functioning and rejuvenating itself. However, there are ways to enhance the power of the human brain as age catches up. This article tries to give some useful tips on how to do just that.

1. Live a healthy lifestyle.

The brain is an integral part of the human anatomy. It is probably the most important organ in the body; but of course, we all know that every other organ in the body works for the others to function properly. The human brain is subject to the lifestyle of the person who owns it. If the person loves alcohol, he may not fully reap the powers of his brain. Alcohol and other dangerous substances destroy brain cells. An alcoholic will argue that, “I’ve been using only ten percent of my brain, drinking will activate the other 90% of it.” This is a total fallacy. This premonition was formulated in the 1800s and there is no truth in it. The brain is a lifetime organ, so we must preserve and protect it.

2. Eat the right foods.

Eating the right sets of food will definitely benefit the brain. The brain is the most active part of the body. Even when one sleeps, the brain remains active and vibrant. The brain will appreciate it if one eats the right and balanced sets of food. The sad thing is that the brain is usually taken for granted when it comes to having a balanced meal or a workout because people are so focused into developing their outside looks. It’s about time that we give the brain a break.

3. Engage in proper exercise.

Proper exercise is good for the brain and not only for the body. The human brain needs a well-balanced life.

4. Release stress once in a while

Releasing stress is necessary to be able to clear the brain from all the difficulties and the clouds in one’s life. One must take time to get into a relaxing mood and a good night sleep.

The brain is an organ to be cherished. No individual will ever be able to live his life to the fullest if his brain is not functioning well. A brain that is cared for will result in a more active and fulfilling life.

Anxius anxiety treatment and information

Joan Adams and sister Betty DeLorme have compiled a great electronic book on different approaches to staying on a high vibrational plane, how to lift your mood when feeling blue, how to take action when you are feeling sad.

I am proud to say that I wrote a chapter for their book called: “Thoughts Are Alive!!”

Each chapter gives direction on Banishing The Blahs, lifting your mood and boosting your spirit! In fact, the act of reading these chapters immediately rises your mood, whatever it is you are experiencing!

I thought I’d make a list of my own personal favorite mood enhancers to add to the treasure chest:

1) Turn off the Television.

I like to be up on what is happening in the world, but watching the news is a downer I no longer wish to participate in. The pundits tell people how to think based on their own prejudice, they tell people how to vote, and in essence, no longer objectively report the news.

2) Sit in your favorite chair and bask in a sun beam.

3) Meditate with your favorite cat resting on your knee.

4) Seek out periods of silence every day.

5) Concentrate on the Life Force present behind each in and out breath, all day long. These are private and joyous three dimensional moments you share only with yourself and can be done no matter what is going on around you.

6) Prevent depression–avoid Crazymakers.

My last article goes into this in more detail!

7) Do not participate in gossip or join others when they are complaining. You will feel much better by avoiding the negativity.

Start your own blog and write several posts a week. Do this only if you love to write. This will help you because you are sharing your talents with the world.

9) Encourage people to comment on your blog. That way an open discussion ensues and you feel connected to your audience.

10) Sit, walk and sleep with your dogs.

11) Create a “dream board” as Joan describes in her electronic book called “10 X 10.” This is a free Electronic Book and you can have it by going here:

12 )Amanda Goldston recommends an “Ideal Day Fun Card” in Joan and Betty’s book. This involves first of all writing down everything you can think of that you would BE, DO, or Have every day that brings you joy and also is Fun!!

Then you find pictures that represent these things and paste and laminate these pictures on a 3X5 card and carry it around with you.

Everything on this card should make you smile! Touch the card in your pocket several times a day. The power of this visualization tool is evidenced by your dreams and visions manifesting faster into your life.

13) Go out at night and gaze into the starry sky. Learn the constellations and pick them out. Identify the so-called ecliptic and recognize the Astrological constellations there: Aries, Pisces, Gemini, Cancer, Leo etc.

Star gazing is even more fun with a telescope. Naturally you will want to do this at a location removed from the bright lights of the city.

14) Figure out when a lunar eclipse is going to happen. Then make sure you are available to in-joy it. This celestial event is soothing, calming and meditative. My husband and I recently watched an eclipse together and we agreed that that this was wonderful quality time.

Time slowed down, we held hands, and watched the moon in all of her phases until she was dark, except for a faint outline of the moon’s circumference.

I read that this particular eclipse saved Christopher Columbus and his crew so many moons ago.

He read in his Almanac that an eclipse was going to occur the following night. He and his crew were held captive by the Indians who threatened to kill them.

Columbus said: The moon will disappear then will return because you allowed us to live.

And the rest is his-story.

15) Stroke your dog and/or cat and kiss them. Throw balls for your dog. Massage her back. Clip her nails. Brush her coat. Watch for the look of gratitude which beams from her joyful face.

16) Learn to fully embrace life. Allow resistance to What Is to simply melt away. Be in the moment where you find yourself. Allow that moment to expand and realize that this is the only moment, not a series of moments on a linear time belt.

It all is right Now. Learn to experience this and allow it to grow.
