What do you do to keep your brain stimulated?

Reading a lot and I build and design homes on the sims to look like real homes/ buildings. Put them on Patreon and other players pay to download them! It’s really challenging and relaxing all at once.

I love listening to podcasts or interviews on YouTube. Interesting debates between intellectuals or people more knowledgeable on a topic than I am. In an age where there is so much wonderful discourse and knowledge available to us all for free, it's such a blessing to take advantage of that. And it makes for interesting conversation topics too!

Lots of reading for me. And doing research on countries that I’m not familiar with. How about you?

Reading just like everyone else. I’m also learning Spanish on Duolingo. Learning a new language is definitely a good way to stimulate the brain.

For a while, I got into memorizing poetry. It was a good way to keep my brain busy, and something to do when I was bored or doing routine or tedious work.

It was more challenging than I expected. But I'd pick a poem I really liked and there was a lot of satisfaction in being able to recite the whole thing in my mind, kind of like hearing a favorite song.

I obsess over a hobby.

During the warm months, it’s my vegetable garden. It’s a steep learning curve for some things so I’m constantly researching, reading, watching videos etc. the cooler months I have to find something else to do 😅

Listen to lectures about technical stuffs (economy, philosophy, politics). I try to keep my mind as sharp as possible by debating

I have a hectic work / social schedule but I’m ADHD so I am easily bored and need constant stimulation.

I often find Reddit mentally stimulating. I’ve spent too much time on it and want to limit it to 10 minutes a day (as opposed to 23 which I see I averaged recently).

I want to dedicate the “saved” Reddit minutes to learning Spanish more consistently.

I also listen to podcasts on an array of topics, including history, music, fashion, current events, and (my favourite) psychology. I listen one short podcast in the morning and listen to a longer one (on 2x speed) when cooking.

As much as I love reading, I read to relax more than be stimulated. However, I read 53 books last year, so I expect stimulation did happen!

(I also listen to music morning to sleep time except when I’m with others or listening to a podcast. Max level multitasking.)

The short answer is to learn new things. Look for hobbies closely related to those you already have, or ones involve creating products that you regularly consume.

Like make-up and self care? Make your own tinted lip balm, scented bar soaps, and bath bombs.

Like reading? Try writing. Video games? Try coding and game design.

Consume podcasts regularly? Branch out into new areas such as psychology, finance, current events, etc.

For example, my interest in eating good food led to cooking, watching cooking shows, reading cookbooks, catering family get togethers, starting a small herb garden, and researching international food as well as its history. I'm currently interested in creating a meal planning spreadsheet, learning to roast whole chickens and make stock from the bones, utilizing a deep freezer and shop bulk sales, cooking healthier for less money, and starting a vegetable garden.

Big fan of podcasts. I watch usually political podcasts everyday to stay up to date on some stuff but with an entertainment factor. Sometimes that sparks me to do my own research on a topic they bring up. I am someone who obsesses over a particular interest and will do everything I can to be a nerd and research everything on the subject. Then about two weeks later I'm doing it with a new subject(I recognize that isn't normal to switch like that but really indulge yourself in something that sparks your interest whether that's a hobby, a world event, etc). I also like to read books that are nonfiction on subjects that seem interesting and let my mind wander. I personally find it more stimulating than fiction. Also just getting really involved in the community helps me to feel stimulated so join a community group of some sort or volunteer.

Side note I also find it easier to mentally stimulate myself if I spend less time on the internet for purely entertainment purposes. Learn to sit with yourself and let your mind wander how it wants.

Try a course! Loads of prestigious schools offer their content for free.

Painting! Started w a paint by numbers and now totally love panting landscapes

Reading and documentaries. I love learning about medical and social history! Sometimes I'll learn a new skill -- I can sew a Viking outfit by hand from measurements, I can draft that pattern and have it fit extremely well. I can sort of crochet, but I stick to blanket squares, scarves, and potholders.

DunboyCastleInTheSky · 2023-03-28T18:40:38+00:00

Reading, podcasts, and I’ve just started grad school as well. 😛

m_owom · 2023-03-31T22:51:08+00:00

Read (printed material and blogs or online articles), listen to podcasts, bible study, watch movies and TV shows (I consider it enriching), work on baking and cooking recipes, do my crafting hobbies, research how to further improve in different areas of my life, explore outside with my toddler, try to learn new skills.
