We all have a daily routine: Regular times to eat, sleep, shower, watch TV and work. There's nothing wrong with having a routine. As a full time caregiver for my mom, who's no longer independent, I thrive on routine. That way, both of us know what needs to be done and the schedule keeps us on track.
But, stimulating your brain with something new is the way to learn and grow. It's also one way to improve memory and concentration.
Brain exercise is an important part of staying healthy. One way to challenge your brain is to play games - Any game that you find fun and stimulating.

This is so true Marilyn. I've found the more I challenge my brain - the more questions I ask, or research I do - has actually been helping to improve my memory. Grade school wasn't a challenge as it was mainly repetition or memorization.

Thanks, Virginia. You're right. The important thing is to keep learning. It doesn't have to be a game. It can be anything that makes you stretch and grow - brainwise, that is. It could even be blogging. :-)
