Nancy B. Alston

Effort and Disciplined Exercise

The idea of being healthy and fit is something that is of great importance, and agility is something that a fit person could possess. But to be agile and to remain agile could be thought to take regular effort and disciplined exercise. The need of commitment would also be high up on the list of things that needed doing. So to be physically agile requires qualities, so the same could be thought of in the field of mental agility.

The means of making your mind agile

You could consider a mind that is agile as having the ability to be mentally flexible, and able to do things that normally would be difficult. Indeed just as with physical agility, mental agility could require exercise on a regular basis. So what are the exercises that could be needed to allow you to be mentally agile. And how much exercise would be needed to stay in a mentally agile state? One of the things that could be considered as a means of keeping and getting the mind agile could be study. Indeed it has been noted that people who tend to be successful in life would tend to have a habit of Life Long Learning. It has been said that if a person stops getting exercise then they could start to become unhealthy. So by the same rule if a person stops studying they could also suffer adverse conditions. Thus the idea of regular exercise could be one of the keys in finding mental agility.

The Idea of Life Long Learning

Exercising your mind by regular study could be one of the most important things in your life. Indeed doing a reasonable amount of regular study could make the difference between a healthy mind and a troubled mind. The idea of learning new skills could be the breath of fresh air that could give your life the boost that you need. So what are the things that you have thought about learning that you have not yet started, indeed think of the benefits of having a mentally agile mind. The fact is you could indeed have a great mind and you may always have had the capacity to achieve bigger and greater things. So by exercising your mind through study may be the thing that is needed to allow you to achieve a greater level of mental agility. What are the other tools that can allow you to become more mentally agile, and how can you use them?

The Idea of Concentration

The need to focus on a given task, could be thought of as a very important ability to have, if you consider that in most areas of life concentration is required. Indeed the ability to concentrate and focus your attention could be a very powerful and useful attribute to master. It has been said that the ability can be achieved through the practice of meditation. King David the father of the great King Solomon often spoke about meditation and how he spent time meditating. And many people who have found success in life have spoken of the benefits of meditating. So could meditation be one of the exercises that allows you to improve your concentration and become more mentally agile – Thoughts To Make You Think.
