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 started learning classical guitar 4 years ago.  It's incredibly challenging and really forces me to use my brain.

    I hit the Rewards pages every day and do crosswords, trivia, and assorted other informative links. I also walk outdoors as often as weather and conditions permit, read books, and listen to music (mainly classical).

    I like to do things that are outside of my comfort zone.  Next month I will be heading to a Flint Knapping. This month I cooked for 45 people for 4 days, 3 meals a day for an annual event which I have been cooking for 8 years. I menu plan, create the shopping lists, shop and run the kitchen during the event even though I have no formal training. I love to walk and do puzzles on AARP games. I have a fish that keeps me responsible for another living creature.

    I had a problem with my chemo that makes it hard to remember things on a daily basis.I find I have to write notes a lot. I find that doing a lot of puzzles and reading to keep up on everything really helps. Also staying busy with regular exercise and taking care of the yard (mowing,flowers,etc.)helps a lot.I can't do a lot like drive because of neuropathy in my hands and feet but for 65 I feel that I'm doing great!

    I am a supposed "boomer," here saying goodbye to 60.  I am going easy on myself as I age (maybe 10%).  I won't beat myself up when I forget something.  I pause, take a breath, and slow down.  I spend at least an hour a day reading news and doing quizzes.  I also have to work on my daily to-do list to free up my brain to focus on individual tasks.
