Just watching the BBC news and another surprising medical breakthrough! Kids with mental problems, like depression benefit from going off and spending their time surfing! Amazing!
Wouldn't everyone benefit and going off and doing something different... maybe not surfing, but singing, painting, writing, going for a walk in the park!? Does this sound familiar?
I have a question about those kids.... what happens when they are not surfing?
I'm a big believer in doing things different in your life. Changing the humdrum and stimulating the old grey cells into action. I used to teach and although for me this was the best job in the World, there were days that I was bored out of my skull! I'm sure everyone know this feeling, but how many people do anything about it!? It is my belief that if you don't change things and continue is the constant drudgery, you brain start to power down switch off and settles to just do the minimum it can.
I think mental health problems being solved by a quick fix may work for some, but if we all started surfing our brains everyday, introducing new things to think about. This would force our brains to re-energise and be forced to be forced work and not slumber. As a way to maintain one of the main function of our brains, I think daily activities, away from the daily grind, would build those new connections and stimulate the regrowth of brain cells. That has got to be good, hasn't it!?
How many people do the same thing, day in and day out!?
Everyday I write, mainly dribble, but it's my dribble, I paint, or draw, I try juggling, I do some handwriting, I can no longer use my right hand, I go in the garden and trying and name the weeds, I listen to music, I do some memory training, I play the ukulele, or try and I come on here and see what is happening!
I don't do much singing... my neighbour's and Finn complain! They got no taste!
I do everything I can to keep my brain working, if I become bored I start something new... I'll try anything as long as it stops me from sitting here letting my brain... atrophy, because when I do, I think of only one thing... my dementia.
So get creative now... and help your brain help itself!
