Hump Day Helpers

Brain Gym...we are all familiar with gyms or facilities where we exercise our bodies, but how often to we exercise our brains.  I mean break the routine and really challenge ourselves intellectually.  At my sons school, they have what is called Brain Gym--it's a series of physical activities that require that they cross the mid-line of their bodies as well as other physical tasks that make the right and left brain interact.  This is designed to stimulate brain activity and wake up the brain to think differently and more focused.  How often do we just veg out at the end of the day? We just want to chill, turn off the workday or the noise and relax. Well, when was the last time you stimulated your brain.  I mean picked up the Wall Street Journal, did Sudoku, completed a crossword puzzle, watched a documentary, or in some cases try this "new math" they are teaching now?  It's important that as we work to challenge our bodies physically, that we don't forget about our brains.  Go ahead--Think of something you can do to challenge your brain.  Don't forget to share what you did.
