Our emotional health is impacted by our mental well-being. Just like we can enhance our physical health through exercising (lifting weights, running, swimming, etc.), we can likewise enhance our mental health through stimulating activities that require active cognitive effort such as memorizing words, doing crossword puzzles, and playing number games. Your mind is like a muscle. It has incredible potential to be very effective and strong, but it needs proper (and consistent) maintenance in order to reach that potential. Enhancing your mental health not only affects your emotional health by sharpening and strengthening your mental capacity, but also allows you to reduce stress by utilizing that capacity in high-stress environments. For example, Idriz Zogaj, Switzerland’s memory champion, explains ways to strengthen your mind through visual and interactive memorization. He teaches the audience how to memorize concepts by picturing them in 3D and making them come to life. This technique alone sharpens the mind, but when it is incorporated to adapt to high-stress environments, such as memorizing biological concepts or a poem for class, its benefit increases exponentially. Let Idriz Zogaj help sharpen your mind!
