Gifts for the Mind
The mind is a powerful tool that can be both our best friend and worst enemy. Just like our bodies, we need to exercise our brains regularly to keep it healthy. Games, puzzles, and other fun activities that challenge us mentally are great brain “exercises”. Here are some great gift ideas for the people in your life who could use a mental workout:
Crossword Puzzles or Adult Coloring Books
Brain-straining apps
Card & Board games
Audio Books or Book Club subscription Reading is a great way to improve vocabulary and comprehension, exercise the brain, and escape into another world.
A Journal Journaling has been proven very beneficial to our mental health. Journaling is a way to process your feelings, express your deepest thoughts & feelings, or just capture the days events.
Brain Supplements What do stressed-out people do? Many self-medicate with alcohol, drugs or food. Did you know that brain-directed dietary supplements can combat stress and makes a great gift for the holidays.
Phosphatidylcholine is part of the brain's makeup & plays an essential role in rebuilding damaged brain cells. By replenishing your cells with healthy phospholipids, you can expect improvement in overall brain function.
