Mind Sparke is the name for one of the premier brain fitness programs available online.
Hopefully the videos above give you a sense of how easy it is to do the program.
I was very curious about the research behind mind sparke, which is easy to find. My reading of the research led me to believe that this is a very legitimate tool to use, so I bought mind sparke brain fitness pro, in fact I have it on three computers.
The authors of the work I read were Susan Jaeggie and Martin Bueschkull, I believe, my apologies if I have misspelled your names, but their work is very intriguing and exciting.
Using the program baffled me for the first couple of trials, but then I caught on, and I have moved into deeper challenges.
The big thing that I noticed after working on my skill level is that I can focus for longer periods of time on one task, and sort through a schedule internally better than ever before, which is a big deal to an ADD brain which has had to write down its schedule and carry it around all day every day for a life time.
And then the kicker for me was the reference to Bueshkull and Jaeggie's work in my brain fitness bible,
Brainfit for Life
which is an excellent book for the layperson, but it is authored by neuroscientists Simon Evans, Ph.D. and Paul Burghardt, Ph.D. who want to offer some guidance to consumers trying to sort throught the brain fitness marketing chaff for the mind sparke wheat.
Here is a link to the Mind Sparke program.
Would You Share Something That You Are Grateful For?
When I was beginning my personal growth journey, a wise person told me that when I was feeling resentful or afraid or sad, that I should remember the phrase "gratitude is the attitude" when I was ready to feel better. That phrase has helped me feel better tens of thousands of times.
Would you share what you are most grateful for? Your story could be just what another person is searching for to renew themselves? Thanks.

How is Your Attention? Try Your Hand at the Stroop Test.
To test your attention using the stroop test, read the color the word is printed in rather than the text of the word. So the text could be the word red, but if the word red is printed in blue, then the correct response if blue.
Neurogenesis is the term used to describe the recently discovered capacity of the human brain to grow new neurons.
That is right, our brain is not physically fixed, it is constantly changing, losing some neurons, growing some neurons, making or deleting connections, and we can encourage that growth by attending to the Pillars Of Brain Fitness.
