How To Increase Intelligence

You've heard the "Use it or lose it" exhortation often enough, applied in relation to your brain. You also hear it applied to your body and your muscles. You have seen it applied to your skills. It's actually true, and you can practically apply it to everything - even riding a bicycle. If you come back to a bicycle for the first time in 10 years, you won't have lost all of it; but you will have lost most of it. You'll be quite unsteady. Well, the opposite is true too. If you use it, you boost it. The best way to increase intelligence is to use your nut in all kinds of productive ways. But quite apart from this, let's look at a few ways you can help yourself be smarter.

Know how they say that children these days have all their time scheduled for them and they just don't have the time to just sit and dream like children used to at one time? Well, it's not just children who are like that.

You're like that yourself. If you schedule the heck out of your life, if you're working all the time, it costs you your intelligence.  know where the most creative ideas come from? They come when you have the time to stand and stare, to reflect. We're not talking meditation here either.

You just want to go back to a simpler time. When there was just unscheduled time and you didn't have anything planned. Just take a lazy walk, roll in the grass or something. And do this sometimes, not all the time. You'll give your mind time to rebuild itself.

Reading will help you increase intelligence. Just because you can get lots of new ideas (even if that is something to consider). It's just that when you read good, challenging books, or even high-quality novels, you develop your ability to use words better.

Know how you think better? You think better when you have the words to put things together with. When you read good books, you come by all kinds of new words and sentence bits by which to put new thoughts together. Try it. New words and new sentence constructions are the building blocks of new ideas. Compliments on how your intelligence seems to rise by the day are guaranteed.

The opposite of reading good books is - don't expose yourself to bad ones. Don't read comic books, and you don't do anything that's equivalent to that - don't watch TV. Comic books, TV, suspense thrillers - all of these are mental chewing gum. It looks like your mind is doing something, but it isn't. That's why when you've finished doing any one of these things, you don't feel energized. You feel drained. Don't do anything like that.

And finally - the key to help you increase intelligence - exercise. Yes, it's rather counterintuitive. Why use your muscles when you know, you're all brain? You should do this because your body is designed for it. Treat your body in an unnatural way and no good can come of it.
