By Botika ShivaPublished 3 years ago 3 min read

It’s every parent’s dream to have a child who is smarter than they are, but what can you do if you already have smart kids? Luckily, there are many simple things you can do to become smarter today, and all of them don’t require years of research or the latest tech gadgets. Simply check out this list of top 10 ways to become smarter today, and you may just find yourself on your way to being more intelligent

1) Get enough sleep

Getting enough sleep is not just about feeling rested and rejuvenated, it also helps boost your brain power. Some research has found that sleep deprivation can even lead to a decline in mental function. Follow these tips for a good night’s rest:

-Go to bed at the same time every night.

-Don’t drink caffeinated beverages late in the evening.

-Keep electronics out of the bedroom and limit television watching before bedtime.

2) Exercise regularly

It's no secret that exercise is good for the body, but it may also be good for the brain. Studies suggest that regular exercise can help improve memory, reasoning, and problem solving skills. So if you want to become a little smarter than you are now, consider adding some physical activity into your day.

Find ways in which you can work physical activity into your life: try going for a walk at lunchtime or taking an evening jog with your partner.

3) Eat healthy

Eating healthy is the most basic way to boost your brain power. The brain needs energy and nutrients in order to function, so make sure you are eating a well-balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables, lean protein, and whole grains. Cutting out junk food is one of the easiest ways to get started!

4) Take breaks

Many studies have shown that taking regular breaks can help you focus, be more productive, and feel less overwhelmed. So take a break every hour or so, go for a walk, or do some deep breathing. You'll come back feeling refreshed and ready to tackle whatever's next!

5) Stimulate your brain

1) Keep a journal. This can be done by hand or on your phone, but the key is to get into the habit of recording what you're thinking and feeling. If you happen to like writing, start a blog and share your thoughts with the world! 2) Make time for reading. Reading stimulates your brain in ways that are different from other activities like watching TV or surfing the internet. 3) Learn a new language. There's more than one way to stimulate your brain!

6) Read regularly

Reading is an important part of becoming smarter. The more you read, the easier it will be for you to understand and retain what you have learned. It also helps develop your vocabulary and has a positive effect on your intelligence. Reading helps with problem-solving, planning, imagination and creativity.

7) Write regularly

1. Eat your vegetables. Vegetables are high in fiber and healthy nutrients that can help you stay full longer. Plus, they're usually lower in calories than other foods so it's easier to keep track of what you're eating if you're trying to lose weight. 2. Take a walk after dinner every night this week. Walking can help reduce stress, make you feel more productive, and get your blood flowing again after sitting all day. 3.

8) Challenge yourself

1) The next time you're in a conversation, stop and think about the last person who spoke. What did they say? What was their point of view? What did they want? What might they have meant by what they said?

2) Read something new every day- even if it's just a couple pages or an online blog post- and take notes on what you read. 3) Take a book out of your collection and read it again.

9) Be positive

You don't need to be a genius or know everything about the world in order for your brain to grow. You just need a few simple things: curiosity, effort, and the willingness to try out new things. If you're not sure where to start, here are ten quick tips that will get you on your way

10) Connect with others

Connecting with others is a great way to gain new perspectives and learn from the experiences of others. It's also one of the best ways to stay motivated, because it can be very difficult on your own. You might want to try joining some Facebook groups or forums for people with similar interests and goals as you, or connect with someone in person by going on a coffee date or organizing an event together.
