Socialization
Spend time with others, talk, discuss the latest political news, sports, or family happenings, and laugh together. If you think of the brain as a muscle, it needs to be used and used in many different ways. Laughter and conversation are beneficial for the mind, body, and the heart.
Volunteering
Volunteering can combine several of these strategies. For example, you could tutor a student at the local elementary school on a weekly basis. This could involve socialization, reading, or math skills and perhaps even games or a new language.
You can use your skills at the local community development organization. Volunteering is one way to share the gifts you’ve been given, and it’s beneficial to you at the same time.
