By regularly engaging in the right types of activities, you can increase your memory, improve your problem-solving skills and boost your creativity. Here are some tips on how to keep your mind active:

Quit smoking

If you are a smoker, quitting is top of the ‘to-do’ list for better mental acuity. This is because smokers can add memory loss to the long list of health problems that come from smoking. Smokers may have twice the risk of getting Alzheimer’s disease as do people who have never smoked. Therefore, if the state of your mind is so important to you – stop smoking now — it is never too late. If you quit smoking now, you can still reduce your risk of memory loss later in life

Learn a language

Say ‘Ciao!’ to a new language. Learning to speak Spanish or Mandarin will keep your brain flexible and your mind sharp, helping to reduce the slowing of the thought processes that come with ageing. Attend lessons, listen to tapes from your library (a place you should be spending a lot of time in by the way!) or seek out friends with whom you can converse in your new chosen language. Instead of watching the same old television programs week after week, take in a foreign language movie with subtitles and immerse yourself in your new experience.

Play games

Thanks to an ageing baby-boom generation, there are now plenty of mentally stimulating games. As their name implies, brainteasers and other such puzzles are good exercises for the brain. At sites like at sites like Free Printable Sudoku you’ll find the best sudoku puzzles. Always have a crossword book in your briefcase or purse and work on it while you commute, while you wait for an appointment or when you relax on your coffee break. You will improve your cognitive skills and creative thinking as well as your word power and vocabulary. Try also games that force you to strategize like chess, bridge and solitaire.

Learn a new skill

A long-term goal like learning to play a musical instrument stimulates your brain on many levels over an extended period. A skill like learning to tango or foxtrot is great for the brain because it combines music and movement. Make everyday activities harder You can stimulate your brain just by mixing up your daily routine. If you are right handed, brush your teeth with your left hand, shower with your eyes closed — anything that will force you to use more of your senses.

Read

Whether it is a website, a novel or a newspaper, keeping your mind engaged in intellectual activity and expanding your vocabulary are two important ways to keep your brain thinking and working. As an extra exercise, repeat facts to yourself that you want to remember a few times – and try to recall them again later.

Socialize

Your brain is the ultimate party animal and loves social activity. Seek out clubs or other social activities that will surround you with people and have you interacting. New scenery, new topics of conversation and other multi-sensory activities force the brain to literally form new connections, thus increasing memory capacity.

We do not need to learn about balance, peace, compassion, forgiveness or faith. Instead our task is to unlearn those negative and harmful emotions that plague our lives and deter us away from being aware of the powers within us to design and recreate our lives the way we intend it to be with our will.

When we remove the outer layers of dirt and debris, which are in essence negative energies in motion, we then once again realize the true diamonds we really are. We have always been diamonds underneath. Letting go of fear, anger and other negative emotions is key to enhancing your manifesting abilities. You must understand that manifesting is a craft, and like other crafts your skills and abilities in that craft grows and continues to grow as long as you intend it. There are no boundaries limiting how well you become at manifesting, dominating your outer reality with the powers of your inner reality. Some refer to this as Telekinesis.

Whatever your fear, is destroying you many times over before the event even happens. Just imagine the fearful event happening and say to yourself "I've been through worse, so this is nothing" and then forget about it. It’ll be easier to remove it from your consciousness that way. You will experience your fears over and over again until you learn the proper technique of letting go. Your fear will be replaced with a sense of  calmness and peace.You are a true Manifesting being, an intelligent being of Love and light!

Be open to honing your Mind and Manifesting abilities to that of a genius!

Energy flows where your attention flows. Focus your attention on magnetizing yourself to Attract money. Everything in the Universe including money is different forms of manifested energy. You can manipulate the flow of money in your life by Magnetizing yourself to it. Whatever you set your intention to attract, you manipulate that thing in your mind and send it out to the universe as energy.

Most people feel the Lack and Struggles of money. To experience the Effects of Magnetization is to CONSCIOUSLY feel money instead of the lack of it. In that moment of feeling something, you merge with it and IT becomes you. Consciously feel the positive experiences of it to attract it.

You can Manifest like Magic and see Phenomenal results which would appear like Miracles to everyone else, but to you it would be natural and you can repeat it over and over again like a science. (It is Actually a Science.) Take note that a miracle is only a miracle to those who have a very limited understanding of how the miracle happened.
 

The secret to intelligence is not what you know, but how you apply what you know. We all know this as “technique” or “strategy.” There is a technique to everything! In every sport, the person or team with the best technique or strategy wins! Even in school, the person with the best technique for learning and testing gets the best grades. Two people with equivalent knowledge but with different technique will get 2 totally different results!

There is a strategy to manifesting and strategy to attracting whatever your mind imagines. An unwise person looks at their life and blame others for it, and an intelligent person is a person of power and sees there life as there very own unique creation. Your life as you see it is a manifestation of past actions. All your power of creation resides in the now. Whatever you are experiencing in life is from years of manifesting it. You are shaping your future right now as we speak. Everyone knows this, so it's about remembering.

The “Law of Magnetization”

Become a magnet for which you desire. Feelings determine the nature of the energetic state of your being and they are magnets. Why do people ignore their feelings when feelings are forms of energy and are important tools for manifesting things into your life? You are surrounded by an electromagnetic field of energy that attracts what's in resonance with it and repels what isn't. To have wealth, you must feel wealth. In the moment of magnetization, you imprint onto your consciousness the substance of physical abundance and material riches. Material means that which is manifested. The purpose of spirituality is to have spirit mold itself into the form of physical experiences.

When you are not aware that you can predict and create you future in advance, you have no choice but to leave your life up to other people and events to be altered and manipulated by them. Imagining and designing your future ahead of time allows you a high degree of control of the way your future pans out. The best way to manifest is to have your own framework of what your future has in store for you. This alleviates massive amounts of stress. And better yet, eliminates unwanted resistance to your desires manifesting.

An astounding benefit of believing you are the creator of your life is the allowance of your creative powers and abilities to flow more freely, giving you a better chance of you manifesting your goals successfully. This attributes to your "Good Luck." The very act of imagining and creating your life ahead of time with goals, has a direct and powerful effect of relaxing you thus improving your ability of consciously manifesting your desires with the power of your will.

Stress is time supported. Stress is usually in the form of worrying about some future event and resisting what is. By imagining your future first and firmly trusting  your manifesting abilities, you are less prone to stress and more prone to positive thoughts about the future which is what’s needed in order for your future to unfold the way you want it, in most cases “better than you expected.” Never lose sight that your thoughts are packets of energy and Emotionally Charged  thoughts bring your desires to you at a much faster rate.

Three essential activities occur as a result of either of the two autogenic conditioning techniques. The first is that your mental filter is set so that your subconscious picks up on in your environment, various means and ways to achieve your conditioned goals. Also stimulating your mind’s massive memory banks to instantly associate all incoming sensory information as it relates to what you’re manifesting, enabling you to perceive your dreams in a way you couldn’t perceive before. You in effect fine tune your mind’s eye with affirmations and visualizations.

Second, you will begin to get all kinds of creative ideas, hunches, inspiration and insight drawn to your consciousness aiding you in goal achievement once you program your subconscious mind with your desires. Your actions will become automatically aligned causing your manifestations to arrive faster.

Third your superconscious mind will become activated. When this happens, circumstances in your favor seem to miraculously appear. Gifts from the Heavens become bestowed on you. Your conscious, subconscious, and superconscious begin to work in harmony to achieve your goals. Thus is the mind set you want to have.

You can want to be a billionaire, but how do you visualize a billion dollars? Money is only an idea and does not exist as a thing unto itself. Having money and nothing else is exactly the same as having no money with nothing else. There's no difference to see at all. You can have exactly the same amount of money today as yesterday but if you were to wear much sharper looking clothes, all of a sudden it seems that your life has become richer. Visualize external changes that express wealth and abundance.

Right now, as we speak, we are designing our reality, our future is being formed and materialized so we can experience it tomorrow. This is an endless cycle. Your Mind is a Powerful source of Attractive Energy and an Intelligent Person will seek to harness it’s Powerful components for “knock your socks off” results with Manifesting.

If you can't perceive how to make real your manifestations, the Infinite Universal intelligence can! Simply allow your desires to enter your reality by trusting this Intelligence with the act of “emotionally letting go of it.” I can personally double guarantee you that by doing so, you will be provided with the required insight of how to obtain it.

With a limited mind set, you can’t think of a single way to practically, honestly obtain the object. People often say things like “I’m only being realistic,” which actually means “I’ve quit before I’ve tried,” or “it’s evil to desire such things.” While you implement free thinking, you eliminate these self-limiting mental block causing you to dream bigger than you ever imagined and trigger your magnetic manifesting powers.

Reality consists up of different levels of consciousness. The physical and material plane is a level of consciousness. The belief that you can influence reality with your mind does not belong to the physical level but the spiritual level. The act of setting intentions successfully has to take place at a different level of consciousness from normal reality. The reason why people fail in setting their intention for successful manifestation is because they do not enter the appropriate level of consciousness to attract it.

You are a true Manifesting being, an intelligent being of Love and light!

Here are a few things to consider when using Meditation to kick the Powers of Law of Attraction into High Gear:

Attract things into your life much faster with Visualization

Visualization is a perfect complement to meditation and will dramatically improve your results. Spend a few minutes a day imagining yourself feeling Immensely relieved that your manifestations have already arrived. What would it feel like to deeply enjoy the things that you intend to manifest? Generate some mental pictures of yourself doing just that, and allow yourself to feel that way. The more you visualize yourself feeling and acting confidently about receiving your manifestations, the easier you’ll find it to do in your day to day experiences. Do this preceding your meditaion sessions.

Combine Visualization with Affirmations, Step back and Watch out!

Affirmations work just like Hypnotic Suggestions in hypnosis exercises. As you say them, you begin to believe them more and more each day. When visualizing, repeat some properly designed affirmations. This naturally gets more of your senses in tune with the process thus making the experience more real, and that’s what you want. You want it to feel real. **Do this regularly for about 5 minutes or so right before meditation. This really really works! Your belief in the process has a direct effect on the results you get. The more you know about meditation and visualization, the more you’re programmed to believe in it. Belief in it, is trust in it. Within the Laws of Manifesting and Attraction, the Power of trust should be your best friend. Take careful note of that.

Meditate regularly to keep your Powers of Attraction Razor Sharp. As your trust grows, your Manifestations appear quicker because you have far less mental resistance. This process rapidly improves the Speed of your manifestations and provides a much smoother transition for them to enter your Reality.

By it’s very nature, the act of trusting your Manifesting Abilities and mentally creating your life with your imagination IN ADVANCE, you predict your future and help combat depression. A major cause of depression is that a person feels they have no direct control over their life, and that their life is without purpose. Without specific goals, this is definitely true. When I go back in time and take a close look at my life, whenever I was depressed, it was always at a time when I was resonating with a lack of purpose. I did not have goals. And If I did have goals, they were goals I didn’t believe in and wasn’t  open to admitting it to myself. 

Persistently acting towards healthy and worthy goals has a wealth of psychological and physical benefits. The act has an uncanny power to create an endless supply of enthusiasm inside you. You look forward to your future and your journey is exciting and challenging. Everyday appears more meaningful. Believing that you are the creator of your life makes this all possible.

You are POWERFUL beyond Measure and You already have what it takes to Enhance your Manifesting Abilities!  Let go and Trust the Universe as Ultimate Intelligence.

Grow and Nurture your Mind to transcend beyond Normal physical boundaries and Manifest like a Mentalist. It is within your reach!
