AARP Rewards Community Learning & Earning Contest August 2022

I read as often as I can, which is at least 20 minutes/day. I also play different games on computer and/or my phone.

To keep my brain active I eat healthy snacks such as handful of healthy mix nuts or an avocado, drink water or teas. I teach, exercise regularly, and challenge myself to drive a different route to the store or home. Most importantly, I play games, some made up with my 5 year old GRANDbaby some weekends.

To keep my brain active, I do lots of quizzes or puzzles.,or hidden object games.

I love to do crosswords and word puzzles.   Each day I do the daily Wordl, Quordl and Waffle along with the AARP crosswords, Codeword and word searches.   Being active and going to the gym also helps and you meet some interesting people and have good conversation.   Not only does it keep the brain active but also keeps one young at heart.

I take ballroom dance lessons and participate in shows and events.

I play memory and puzzle games to keep my brain active. I also use duolingo to work on learning a new language. I meditate, color, cook and walk to keep my mind and body active and engaged.

I solve the rubik's cube, often times creating unique color patterns. I also play role playing games (rpg) that involve various strategies to survive and win. 

I keep my brain active by reading fiction for the book clubs I attend, nonfiction and current news,  listening to music, doing Wordle everyday-it's addictive!, cooking healthy plant based meals, gardening and hanging out with my 8 year old grandson who loves to talk Pokemon, hahaha. I'm always planning out next trip or getaway and learning about the area we will visit!  I just got a newer car with lots of tech and that kicks my brain into a whole other gear while driving-lots to pay attention to for sure!

I keep my brain active by playing games that make me think on my phone, computer and on paper, especially Words With Friends and Solitaire.  I also read a lot on different subjects.  I have also fun walking in my neighborhood gives me an opportunity to clear my mind and enjoy nature.  Lastly, I tutor in Math; this keeps my mind alert as I learn new techniques that are being taught to students.

I have several weekly, if not daily, activities that I enjoy to keep my brain active. They include reading, walking, praying and playing. I enjoy reading novels and have found many fascinating reads that I can't put down :). I walk three times a week, either in a park, at a church walking track or in my condo parking lot. Spending time in prayer and reading God's Word keep me encouraged and uplifted. I love playing games and find that playing competitive dominoes with neighbors, as well as games on my IPad, such as Brain HQ and Luminosity, challenge me, as well as add another level of enjoyment to my day.
