How Can Brain Fitness Exercises Improve My People Skills?

people's skills

We all want to feel sharp and confident in social situations. But sometimes our brains don’t cooperate. We might not remember what a friend told us, forget names we should know, or have trouble understanding other people’s intentions, body language, or tone of voice.

These exercises can change that. They are designed to speed up and sharpen the brain structure responsible for processing, storing, and remembering information that comes in handy in the social situations we all face every day.

Use Shirsa exercise to feel more tuned in to people around you for more successful and rewarding social interactions!

How Do Brain Exercises Help My Memory?

Memory

Memories are made up of what you sense – especially what you see and hear. When memory fails, it’s not because you forgot how to remember. It’s  because your brain isn’t processing what you see and hear very clearly, so can only store “fuzzy” pictures of an event.

Shirsa exercises improve your brain’s recording of what you see and hear. That helps your brain create memory during the event, making it easier to recall later.

It’s like tuning up a radio – if your radio is in tune, you can hear a song clearly and remember its lyrics. If it’s full of static, it’s hard to remember.

Shirsa  exercise tune up your brain!

Men who like sports and culture are happier and healthier!!!!

Researchers recently found that people, especially men, who actively watch or participate in sports and cultural activities are happier and healthier than those who stay at home. 

The Norwegian study involved 50,000 people, and found that men who were active in a variety of activities, like sports, social events, music shows, or going to museums, were 14% more likely to report being satisfied with life and 12-13%  less likely to have anxiety or be depressed. There was an effect in women also, but it was less significant than in men.

The effect might seem small, but one of the researchers noted that ”even if cultural participation might not do much for an individual’s likelihood of being unhappy or ill… small changes can have a big effect across an entire population.” It’s important to mention that this proved only a correlation, not a cause and effect–so it might be that happier and healthier people are more interested in getting out in the world, or it might be that the activities are positively impacting lives. I would be interested in learning whether it was related to the social aspects of sports and culture, since we know that socializing is good for happiness and health too.
