The mind

In life, your physical muscles need to be flexed to keep you in shape. Did you know that your mental muscles need flexing too? There are mental muscles for logical thinking, metaphorical thinking, analytical thinking, verbal thinking, critical thinking and visual thinking.

In the same way, the muscles in your body work together to create motion, your mental muscles work in tandem to create clear, purposeful thoughts. For your mind to be fit, you need a few qualities.

– Mental flexibility: The ability to switch from one line of thought to another especially when you are creating something.

– Mental strength: When you apply your mind to something that requires concentration such as learning a new thing, doing math etc.

– Mental coordination: This quality is all about timing, agility, and balance. This comes into play when you balance a few activities by orchestrating your thinking.

– Mental endurance: This is the quality you need when you want to put your ideas into action. This is the ability to keep at something without allowing yourself to be distracted.
