Which is more important, the heart or the brain. One could make a compelling argument on both sides, there is one vital tie-breaker. As vital as the heart may be, however just like other organs in the body like the kidneys and colons, it can be replaced. However replacing the brain is impossible, it is the total command center that controls the entire body from regulating your heartbeat to controlling your entire central nervous system.

So why do so few of us actually do a mental workout? That should have been the most important topic to learn in school, I guess the curriculum folks missed the boat on that one. After all a significant amount of Americans go through extraordinary sacrifices to keep in top physical shape. Why not work out the most important organ in the body? Interestingly enough it is what controls all your eating habits, your mood, emotions etc.

The brain is a powerful machine that transmits millions of messages to the entire body in a matter of seconds. The brain itself amazingly contains over 100 billion neurons, imagine the infinite possibilities to achieve your full potential. Given that the brain controls most bodily aspects of our entire life, it’s surprising only now are more resources allocated towards brain study. A highly functioning brain could well be your best friend.

Mental Workout comes in a variety of forms. It can be as simple as listening to different style music or a different radio station. Also you could take the more scenic route on your way to work, waking up earlier will also give it a jolt. It would be highly beneficial and productive to begin a daily mental workout, in today’s high stress world, can you afford not to give your brain the most ideal conditions.

The easiest mental workout to begin with could be just listening to classical music. Just picture Mozart’s father, an accomplished composer himself. Imagine how much music the young Mozart absorbed while he was still in his mother’s womb. Those classical sound waves pierced right through and captivated the young fella. Until we develop another musical genius on the scale of Amadeus, then I would confirm classical music as the best. Just picture a young Mozart composing his concerto in D Major during recess while other kids are probably poking fun at him. Studies show that listening to Mozart can increase your creativity, boost your IQ and lower anxiety.

When we learn or do something new, we expand our brain, we build new connections and perhaps discover new ways of evaluating problems, new ways of considering things. Win the battle over fear, accept it, take it on, challenge it and learn to handle it. The universe is expanding, be open to expanding your mind alongside it. Later when you look back, you will be surprised about what took you so long.

The brain is a complex organ, but one must treat it like a muscle in the body that can be worked out daily. However you wouldn’t just head to the gym and start lifting heavy weights straight away, one would gradually build enough strength to progress after time. The same case applies here, you want to warm up your brain and gradually grow in confidence as you begin to discover the huge potential possible.

Even if you think you already give your brain a fairly rigorous workout through your occupation, the fact remains that the brain is so complex even though it may seem to you to you are working the mind constantly, you may not be building new and different connections on a continuous basis. It’s as if you always drove to work the same way every time using the same exact route. The brain gets used to the process and ceases to be as stimulated. let’s be honest, most working people whether they are at the penthouse office or mail room, tend to perform the same work duties daily.
