Brain Gifts For Christmas?

Keeping your mind active over Christmas may be the last thing you want to do. Or maybe not…

Tony Buzan, the world famous popular psychologist and inventor of ‘Mind Mapping’, has come up with some simple top-tips for increasing brain-power over the festive season.

Have you ever wished you had an operations manual for your brain?

Well 'Mind Mapping' is a technique for making the most of your mental capacities – organizing ideas, reinforcing memory and enhancing creativity. In a nutshell, Buzan is dedicated to unlocking the power of our minds.

He refers to the brain as the 'most astonishingly complex super bio-computer in the world' and he has spent his career developing innovative techniques to maximize its efficiency.

In a recently published article, Buzan provides the following top tips for the festive season. He advises us to:

• Make a ‘hobby’ of our brains! Invest in ‘Brain gifts’ for friends and family this Christmas. The brain is like a muscle – the more we use it, the fitter it becomes!

• Play games which stretch & challenge the mind – crosswords, memory games, scrabble, chess, card and board games are all excellent ways to improve your intellectual capacity & have some fun at the same time!

• Learn to love your brain & begin to realize its tremendous potential. Buzan believes passionately in the power of positive thinking – if you think you can’t do something, you’re probably right!
