What Stimulates Your Brain?

There are numerous activities to keep your brain stimulated, my top ones are:  Sudoku, reading in all kinds of genres, writing limericks, Zumba ( learning new dance steps ), trying out new recipes, playing Mexican Train ( dominos ), playing card game Quiddler, crocheting, making bookmark/ friendship bracelets out of embroidery floss, socializing and exercising.

Absolutely true! I teach several students in their 90s! No centenarians yet 🙂

@UpperHandsPiano  Very inspirational.  Hope to be learning new things, going on adventures and challenging myself into my 90s and beyond, if I'm fortunate to live that long.

@Rhymesometimes I love doing crossword puzzles every day, playing strategic card games, reading, great discussions and debates with friends and family, watching my favorite late night shows on CNN, and problem solving. Oh, and listening to great music that makes me remember the best times in my life.

@Rhymesometimes I like playing poker, cribbage, and 45's. Playing partners in both cribbage and 45's is a blast. A lot of strategy involved.🤔
