Brain power

As unlimited and surprising our brains can be, they still remain a great mystery for all of us. But even though we're not sure how our brains really work, we know enough to realize that we can easily boost their power. There are many ways of improving our abilities to think fast and remember a lot. I took time to try some of them and I found a few which work really well for me. First of them is eating "brain foods" - I think it should be the very first thing to do when trying to improve our brain's power. Paying attention to what we eat is extremely important cause it affects not only our brain but our body in general. Eating healthier can help us concetrate better, it gives our brain extra energy and it has a huge affect on our general mood. Sleeping well it's also very important - it gives our body time to rest, it reduces stress and gives us the energy we need. I can often observe that whenever I don't have enough sleep I can't concetrate and stay focused on anything, I'm easily irritated and I'm not capable of learning anything. Third of boosting a brain's power is solving puzzles and brainteasers - it's not only entertaining, it's also a great opportunity to use different parts of our brain and practise all different types o skills in non-tiresome way.

Growing up

Many kids look forward to being an adult. They dream about being on their own without patronizing teachers and parents who always know best. But very often the moment they enter into adulthood is the moment they realise that getting what you want always comes with strings attached. Becouse when you have to take the responsibility for all your actions, when you're forced to decide about your future on your own, is when you really start to appreciate being a child. Many teenagers or young adults don"t really know what to do with this freedom they were striving for. They feel overwhelmed and frustrated, scared that they won't live up to expectations imposed by society. Very often they're not even sure what they want to do with their life. On the other side, turning into an adult may feel like a great adventure. It's the time when we're very enthusiastic, we dream big, it seems like the sky's the limit. Nevertheless, i don't see a point in being in such a hurry to reach adulthood, I believe it takes time to grow up and there's no need to rush it.
