National Train Your Brain Day & Ideas to Have Fun (October 13th)

On a rainy day, you can play jigsaw puzzles, crossword puzzles, word searches, or online applications with word games. Also, playing memory card games, matching card games, or online card games can help train your brain for concentration. Practice memory retention by taking online classes or in person classes of a subject you are interested in learning more about. Dedicate some time to play games for your concentration, recall, and to develop language skills. Every year on October 13th is National Train Your Brain Day. 

Use the hashtag, # Train Your Brain Day on social media to motivate others to do brain exercises. It is recommended to get enough sleep, healthier meals, and physical exercises as well as playing games for the brain. Playing games outside can also be useful for improving your concentration. Counting games can also be done by counting the items that you see in your bedroom, kitchen, or other rooms in your home. Play with a basketball or a smaller ball to bounce it as you count the bounces. 

National Train Your Brain Day can be fun. Additionally you can continue changing your routine to include games, puzzles, or relaxing activities while doing mental counting for concentration. Read a paperback book, a paper magazine, or a paper crossword puzzle during your work breaks. Be aware of your mood and develop a schedule to do a digital detox. Recognize when you are feeling bored, sleepy, or feel less alert because you might have to adjust your schedule for relaxation. 

Before exercising and playing brain games, ensure you are in a comfortable area and enough lighting. Often planning the games, color by numbers with paint, and other activities can reduce your stress. If you get sleepy doing the same brain exercises, take a break by alternating the games or activities. You can practice training your brain on October 13th by sketching, stretching, matching paint colors, or other creative activities. Dance for thirty minutes or learn a new dance as you count the dancing steps. 

Use index cards to write definitions to vocabulary words that are new to you. Make a commitment to do brain exercises on National Train Your Brain Day and anytime throughout the year. Arrange flowers and count the flowers before putting them inside a vase. Use your senses in your garden and count garden stones or play matching games with mathematics. Happy National Train Your Brain Day!
