Try Something New!
"Did you know that when you try something novel and new, it physically changes your brain and increases your cognitive abilities? The new activity can be as simple as walking your same path and changing the route, or learning a new skill, musical instrument, language or reading to learn. Stay curious! Triggering the release of dopamine – a neurotransmitter linked to reward and motivation – which enhances learning, memory and neuroplasticity, builds new, stronger pathways in your brain and cognitive reserve."
