Why not consider some different resolutions for the New Year?  Here are three possibilities to consider that promise to improve your brain and life while not impeding your eating habits.

Number 1:  Read or listen to a book that is completely different than you would typically choose.  Habits and addictions are mentally stimulated by having to do more of the same thing to increase mental satisfaction.  This will help you break that habit of doing the same thing all the time and learn to enjoy new things which most agree makes for a more enjoyable life.  I love Audible.com.

Number 2:  Dedicate yourself to learning and utilizing some new technology.  Maybe you learn about blogs and start your own blog.  Maybe you don’t own an MP3 player and you start using one.  Maybe you establish your own web site.

Number 3:  Spend more time listening to and learning music.  Research indicates that learning music makes you smarter.  If at all possible try learning to play a new instrument.  You can buy used instruments online very economically and you can also buy music books to teach yourself.  The goal isn’t to be great the goal is simply to practice learning.

All three of these focus on changing up how you think and learn in a way that should improve all areas of your brain.  It is our mind that drives all thought,Three Personal Resolutions for the New Year Articles perception and action.  If our brains were better cared for our bodies and lives would be better.
