Easy brain training exercises that will reap benefits

Some of us are right handed and more logical than creative. Perhaps even most of us.
Therefore the right side of your brain is pretty untrained. Let's wake it up!
Start writing with your opposite hand! (the left for most of us). It's not that hard, it creates new pathways in the brain and is overall beneficial (plus it'll remind you of elementary school!)
Post other simple yet very useful brain exercises.
Let's make this community smarter!

I call bullshit on the right v. left handed/left v. right brained/logical v. creative dichotomy.
I'm monitoring this thread for brain exercises though. Writing with the wrong hand probably trains something.

It has to right?
Otherwise it wouldn't be so hard to begin with and then easy after you practiced it

You are indeed correct. http://www.livescience.com/39373-left-brain-right-brain-myth.html

I've recently come across some information about brain health in general. It is refered to as the 4 pillars of brain health. The basic principals behind this theory are there are four things we should do to improve or simply maintain brain health. Those four things include eating right (proper nutrition, don't forget to eat your fungi), stress management (smoking weed), physical exercise, and mental stimulation (fungi and other tryptamines are wonderful for this in my oppinion). Let's give psychonauts a good reputation and practice brain health, and just remember moderation is the key. To much of anything is a bad thing.
-------------------- Dihydrogen oxide is the most deadly chemical in terms of deaths per year due to overdoses. Why is this substance not banned around the world? Well we need it to survive, my point you ask, moderation is the key, to much of anything is a bad thing, even water can kill you in large amounts. Don't abuse the substance, but certainly use the substance!

I recall I was in a French class three years ago. I decided to join this class & cancel my history one so I could be here. I much rather go here than there i suppose.
I remember that before I entered the class I saw someone in the hallway. I knew him from a pool party I attended three years before. I saw him leave with someone I knew in a dance school. I went there looking for someone, but I forgot who this someone was so may have went up the wrong person & accused them of being that someone when they may not. I didn't accuse them to their face, I first went up to their friend and asked if they could tell them that I thought they were the person I was looking for. I was rather insistent that he find this person for I had many questions I was eagerly anticipating for the moment when I could deliver said question in order to discover what his answer would be.
I was sitting in class & I thought about something my friend said to me earlier, he said it to me once before. I wanted to really know what it is that he said though. I really actually could feel myself yearning to discover what it is he was saying. As if even if I tried to resist the temptation associated with not apprehending his words & choosing to apprehend someone elses. For I might wish to have his friends words & not his. As if a drastic all of a sudden decision to reverse my choice to find out his words & only to know all the words his friends have.
For some words are formed by the legendary prophets known to foresee of mankinds destiny with merely projecting a theory of how we perceive the world. We may have several theories that have already predicted the ways of the world & have no more desire to learn of the other secrets. For maybe something isn't a secret anymore if everyone knows it.
Anyways this student who just left the gym said he had a new brain training game for others to rejoice in. He recommended this one in particular, and, for interrupting a very important lesson on Latin that couldn't go disregarded without extreme consequences it must have been worth it.

Switching hands when brushing teeth/shaving or anything else with fine motor skills will do it too. Learning to juggle is a good one.

SHort term and long term memory.
Odds are you smoke weed, therefore your short term memory isn't 100%.
Odds are you're not a pro boxer so your long term memory is intact.

IMO that is ridiculously easy, and I don't think it would help your brain function if you got better at doing that.
On another note... nutrition > brain training games

For brain health it is all about the animal fat and cholestorol. Especially saturated fat. Cheese, Lean beef, and sometimes butter and egg yolks. A low carb/ keto diet has been proven to actually make your brain have more of the neurotransmitter GABA. Very low carb diets are also used to control seizures/ epilepsy in children because of this specific trait of the diet.
I have been experimenting with low carb for a long time and have found animal fat to be way more effective than plant fat at the cognitive boosting effects of keto/ low carb. Its a fucking crazy effect, it makes your memory recall much better and makes you more focused.
Don't get me wrong though, I need carbs to function at work and build muscle. Once a week though I eat very low carb just for the extreme clarity and different mindstate that eating like this gives me.

The use of complicated wording as an overall literary technique needs to encompass graphic and individual comprehension to allow the reader to become acquainted with the unique terminological aspects employed by the author whilst not detracting from the application of the specific innuendos influencing the particular methods involved which reflect the tone of the major works in question, thereby altering the quality of the outcome.

I don't think there's such a thing as an easy exercise. An exercise is trying to do something that you are not quite able to.
Anything kinesthetic probably has some benefit. I think it is important to keep a balanced variety of shit in your daily routines, if you can. Kinesthetic, linguistic, visual-spatial, contemplative.
Patlal, your questions / comments are always damn good.

I suggest doing chess puzzles. It'll sharpen your mind as you move the pieces in your mind, and teach you to get really good at chess. Start with simple mate in 1s and move on to more difficult puzzles as you improve.
