  Take time to learn new things every day. eHow is a good start. Learn a language 5 words a day on flash cards. Find topics of interest and study them. Take community education classes and learn something you have always wanted to know more about. Take up water coloring. Go to a dance club that plays a type of music that you would not normally listen to. (For me that is Country music.)

  Simple steps to put variety in your life will stimulate brain growth at any age. Do things differently. If you are a good artist, and right handed, take a day and paint something with your left hand. I walk about 2 miles an hour very easily. Walk to work one morning. Find a puzzle site on the internet and try a few. Drive a road you have never taken. Pick a city an hour away and on a day off explore it.

  Do things that put you out of your comfort zone. Wear a color that is real bright that you would never normally wear. Go to a city hall meeting. Join a club or group that interests. Rearrange all the furniture in your house. Cook an ethnic food that you would never have tried to make. eHow is a great source for a recipe you think is different than you have made before. Last but not least click on some of the links google puts by my article or your article and see where they take you! Don't just look at the product being sold, study the web page layout.
