3 Free Ways to Use Your Brain While Having Fun

One of the ten laws of the Primal Blueprint is to use our brain. It is vitally important but is NEVER talked about within the primal blogosphere. Why is this? I truly have no idea. One could say its boring to talk about but its not by a long shot! It may not be as important as what you put in your mouth, but bloggers talk about food so damn often that I feel like someone should talk about using our noggin at some point.

I mean, you can have a near perfect diet and near perfect workout regimen. You can be stress free, working less, consuming more, soaking up the sun?s rays, sleeping as you please and full of energy. But how smart are you? Do you want to become fluent in a new language? Do you want to learn how to play an instrument? I know I do. It?s as simple as finding the time to learn. I am only 23 years old and am in no rush to do either of these things.?However, I am certain I will attack both within the next decade.

Monopoly... A fun, relaxing game that utilizes your brain!

What about simple education? Reading is using your brain but is not ?fun.? It?s very enjoyable and relaxing but its hard to ?smile? without faking it. When I read I have a straight face unless the author cracks a joke. This reminds me of the humor that Robb Wolf brings in his book The Paleo Solution!

In this post I will reveal 3 budget friendly ways to use your brain while having fun. This is for anyone that wants to make their brain sharper while being able to laugh and smile for overall enjoyment with friends, family or even on their own.

Play a Family Board Game

I LOVE board games. I rarely play them. I am just not around people that enjoy them as much as I do. I have been living with my brother in Chicago for the past 4 weeks. He watches TV on a nightly basis. I try to stay away from the TV as much as possible. It?s just not fun and is a brainless activity. I will however admit that I?did watch Expedition Impossible and currently watch America?s Got Talent.?Those are the only two and both are incredibly inspiring.

If I was around people who loved board games then I would be playing constantly. Here are a few of my favorites?

Those are 5 board games that I love to play at any point in time. What are your favorites? Leave a comment below.

Board ?games are fun. They are family friendly. They force you to use brain unless you have no intention of winning. They are exciting. Educational. Cheap. You buy a game for $15 or so and play it as many times as you want. How cool is that?! Board games are by far one of the?most inexpensive?and greatest ways to play and use your brain while socializing in the modern world!

Play A Card Game

This is similar to board games but also?way different! A deck of cards will cost you as little as $1. And, there are an unlimited number of games you can play! There may be 5,894 different card games now but you can create your own at any time! You are able to have a blast while utilizing your brain. Doing this will surely enable you to learn whatever you desire much easier!

A few of my favorites are?

  • Speed
  • Euchre
  • Hearts or Spades
  • Golf
  • Spoons

Those are 5 of dozens of different card games that I love. What are your favorites?

Solve a Puzzle

Who doesn?t love solving puzzles? Their are dozens of different types of puzzles. My absolute favorite is sudoku. I am a sudoku fanatic. I dominate the first 2 levels and am about to master the?3rd level too. You can buy the sudoku app for 99 cents I believe, or you can pick up a book at airport shops, gas stations and super markets for as little as $1. They are a riot and I truly do smile and get excited when I complete one in just few minutes!

Other puzzles to consider?

  • Jigsaw
  • Crossword
  • Logic
  • Combination (Rubik?s Cube)
  • Tiling (domino tiling)
  • Picture (spot the difference!!!)

The list goes on and on. Create your own puzzle! Go on a?scavenger?hunt and make a puzzle out of that! The ways to utilize your brain while having fun are truly endless. Very?inexpensive too. People think that living a healthy lifestyle is expensive. It?s all about how you live folks. Drinking on the weekend costs LOTS of money. Playing cards, board games or solving puzzles with friends or family is priceless.
