3 Ways to Cultivate Your Brain

Studies have shown that a good memory helps you better navigate the future. And in business, anticipating and negotiating future demands is an asset. A proactive brain uses details from past experiences to make analogies with your current surroundings. It then helps you determine where you are and envision future possibilities. We are all born with proactive brains, but these three things can help improve brain performance:

Give it a lot to work with. Create a richer pool of information to draw from. Expose your brain to diverse experiences and situations.

Borrow from others. Find out as much as you can about others' experiences by talking, interacting with, and reading about other peoples' lives.

Let your mind wander. Undisturbed time gives your brain the space it needs to recall and recombine past experiences in ways that help you anticipate the future.
