Lumosity: Reclaim Your Brain

My brain is turning to mush.  At least, it used to kinda sorta feel that way.  In recent years, especially since I finished college, I’ve been noticing my mental acuity starting to slide.  Thoughts took longer to process, reading was slower, calculations took longer – it felt like the once swift moving river was turning into goopy sludge.  And then one day I came across the website Lumosity.  This site is full of brain games and training exercises that help you improve your brain function.  They have quick and easy games specifically designed to help your memory, problem solving skills, speed, mental flexibility, etc.  It’s like a gym workout for your brain but in a fun and entertaining way.  And like a workout routine it tracks your progress, best scores and gets more challenging as you go.  You get to see how you stack up against other brain-training enthusiasts too.  I’ve only been on for a couple months and am not sure if I’ve gaining any more brain power, but I feel certain I’m taking a step in the right direction.  Maybe one day I’ll be a brainiac.
