Some examples to help get you started!

My son moved to Germany, and I take German classes so I can feel a little more comfortable with the language when I visit him for the holidays.

 

I like to take quizzes and watch videos about topics I’m interested in like “what do you know about long-term care” from the Rewards earning page.

        I have a few strategies to keep my brain ticking: crossword puzzles, reading both fiction & non-fiction; writing (in my journal) in either 

    French or Latin; socializing with friends; learning new information about history, technology, and, most of all, about new acquaintances. I love  the outdoors: to walk and also am just learning to garden--both flowers & veggies. Mostly, I love life and am really grateful for what each new day will hold.

       How to keep my brain active was really a gray matter 🙂 I thought I might be
    losing more memory than my hard drive. So, I had to wrap my head around it,
    and that was a little hairy 🙂 I decided to go for a run, to jog my memory.
     
       But the solution was a no brainer 🙂 I started taking AARP quizzes, 
    and the matter cleared up. I  suddenly felt so smart, that I wanted to clone myself.
    But, I was getting a head of myself on that one.

      I keep my brain active by still being occupied in the practice of Law, full time.  I meet with clients, read voluminous amounts of material, write legal briefs, argue cases and motions in Court and prepare for and engage in trials.  (Dave)

      I work hard at keeping my brain active in a number of different ways.  I love to read many non-fiction books on a variety of subjects. I also love to journal and write to penpals that I have kept for many years.  I enjoy learning by watching new videos and completing quizzes and other activities on AARP Rewards.  Additionally I enjoy playing games on Lumosity a brain training app and slowly I have been studying three languages on DuoLingo though I mainly concentrate on learning Spanish.  I love to travel to new places and to learn new things whenever I can.

      I do a lot of reading and research surrounding my chronic health issues.  I also engage in social media forums to learn and help others with similar conditions.

      I'm always taking on new projects.  For example, prior to a trip to Italy this summer I took Italian lessons online.  I'm currently designing a needlepoint for a new grandchild due this Fall.  My husband and I are always discovering new walking paths within an hour or two of our home.  We've found some incredible places.  This winter I plan on taking a close look at how to manage and convert a huge collection of slides and photographs.  There is never a shortage of projects to take on..
