Novelty is the key असे म्हणून नेहमीचीच कामे वेगळ्या पद्धतीने करण्याचा मेंदूला एक्झरसाइज द्या. उलटे चाला. डाव्या हाताने कामे करा. नेहमीचेच काम वेगळ्या पद्धतीने करा. घरातील वस्तूंची रचना बदला. म्हणजे एखादी गोष्ट कुठे ठेवली आहे याची मेंदूला जी सवय झाली आहे त्यापेक्षा वेगळे करून मेंदूला व्यायाम घडवा. पंच ज्ञानेंद्रियांनाही काम द्या. डोळे मिटून स्पर्श ओळखा. पदार्थाचे नाव घेतल्यावर त्याच्या वास, चवी आणि ठिकाणाचे स्मरण करा. विविध श्लोकांचे पठण करून स्मरणशक्तीला व्यायाम द्या. मेमरी गेम्स, सुडोकू, वेगवेगळी पझल्स सोडवा. नवीन भाषा, एखादे वाद्य,भरत काम अशी एखादी वेगळी कला शिकण्याचा सतत प्रयत्न करा. स्विमिंग, सायकलिंग, ड्रायव्हिंग रिपेरिंग अशा गोष्टी करा. असे मेंदूचे विविध व्यायाम करायला त्यांनी सुचवले. Proper nutrition and sound exercise program are major aspects of healthy and quality of life that is wellness! ही मानसिक आरोग्याची मास्टर कीच आहे! आणि म्हणूनच त्या किल्लीने मनाचे सगळे दरवाजे सहज उघडतात! Social, physical, spiritual, environmental, intellectual, emotional, occupational are the dimensions of wellness! चला तर मग आता एरोबिक्स आणि न्यूरोबिक्स यांच्या साथीने आपले दीर्घायुष्य आनंदी बनवूया!
