An Intellectual Growth Challenge

Do something different. Choose something that you do every day and do it differently. For example:

-         step out of the shower with the other leg

-         hold your toothbrush with your other hand

-         wash dishes in the other sink

-         start vacuuming at the other end of the room

-         drive a different route to work

-         answer the phone with the other hand and ear

-         write with your other hand

Do it for a week and see what you notice. Breaking old habits will keep you more alert and make you more aware of the world around you.

Do you sometimes feel bored or dull?

You need to stimulate your intellect and balance it  with the rest of your humanness to prevent this bordom and burnout. You are an intellectual being. All humans are.

You may not feel like it. I am not saying you are the smartest person in the world. You probably are not. Being smart is not what I mean when I say you are intellectual.

What I mean is that by nature of being human you think. Whether or not you do it consciously or not, whether you do it well or not, you think. You have a brain and you use the brain along with your senses to perceive the world around you.

The electrical impulses between neurons in your brain combine into unique thoughts and ideas. They combine to form you mind, your consciousness your intellect. No one knows how the physical and chemical become the nonphysical thought, but it does.

And it is part of you as a human.  The challenge is to keep your intellect growing, to not become stale or stagnant.

So here I present one idea you may want to include in your program on wellness to challenge your intellect.

I will be presenting new ideas regularly either my own or one I pick up here or there. Check back for new ideas often.
