You think all day long, whether you realize it or not. So, you might as well use that time to think BIG! Use my tricks below to help you become a better, faster, smarter, and more strategic entrepreneurial rock star by upgrading your thinking skills.
How to Improve Your Thinking Skills
Eat a Balanced Meal of Healthy Fats, Protein and Plenty of Greens.
Eliminate or reduce your sugar intake. Feeling satiated is essential to be able to focus. And sugar, which can help temporarily give you energy, is only going to drag you down in the long run.
Breathe from Your Belly to Activate Your Brain.
Deep breathing increases oxygen flow and makes your brain more active, which helps you retain information. Focus on taking deep breaths every so often. Soon this will become second nature, and you’ll find yourself thinking more clearly and strategically than you ever have before.
Be a Kid Again!
Do some puzzles like Sudoku or even a simple crossword. Train your brain to solve the problem in front of you and think of new solutions.
Play Devil’s Advocate.
There’s always more than one answer to a problem. Before settling on the best one, make a list and think through all of the other possible scenarios and why they are plausible.
Take a Long, Hot Shower.
Don’t you have your best ideas in the shower or the bath? Let yourself daydream in peace to foster a more creative self. Write your thoughts down after you towel off, then get to work on implementing your best ones.
Think About Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How.
In any situation, you need to be able to answer these questions. And, if you face a tough challenge, break it down into these simple bitesize steps to help you think about things strategically and practically.
