Many of us know that physical exercise is good for the body, right? Did you know the same can be said for mental exercise being good for the mind?
Keen on giving the old grey matter a bit of a workout? Then learn something new this year. Learning is exercise for the brain!
Need more convincing? Here are a few benefits of learning something new!
Reduce your risk of Dementia
By 2050 there is likely to be c. 150million people living with dementia worldwide. That’s almost three times today’s figures. Sadly, there is no way to guarantee any of us will be spared from developing dementia but keeping the brain active is an important factor in reducing your risk of developing the disease. Challenging your brain by making it learn and retain new information is key to keeping it active.
Advance your career
Keen to take the next step in your career? A new qualification in your sector could be just the thing to give you that extra edge.
With the country in it’s latest lockdown due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, now is as good as any to take advantage of the home-learning.
Diversify
Learning new things can be a great way to inspire change too, so if you’re looking for a new career or role, there are many courses available which can help you do just that and which require no previous experience in the topic being studied.
Adding a new qualification to your CV will stand you in good stead with future employers.
Avoid stagnation
Don’t get stuck in a rut doing to same thing day in, day out! Give yourself a new challenge and commit to learning something new. Changing things up every once in a while, can have added advantages such as reducing depression and improving general mental health.
