Try something new! Giving your brain a workout can help keep it at top shape and helps you remember more, too. Some examples of how you could do this in your life are; learning a new language, doing art, or learning how to play a new instrument
Technique 2

Exercise can also help produce helpful chemicals in your brain and reduces stress hormones. Some examples of this are; Go for some walks and runs, or join a sport
