Do new things or die mentally

This is one of those post that I am writing only to read it myself in a month or so. I just came back from a fantastic ski trip to the Dolomites in Italy, where I was learning to snowboard. My bones and muscles are still sore, but there is something about my body that is even stranger - the feel of my brain and nervous system.

Have you ever felt your brain rewire? This sore muscle that you can't quite place, but you know something is happening? This is how I've felt throughout my trip. Snowboarding is a demanding feat for the brain to get accustomed to - you force your body into using muscles and catching balance in ways that you never did before. The brain and nervous system are trying to make sense of it all.

You kind of feel the inner voice telling you "I don't know why you chose to tie yourself to a wooden board and go downhill, but I'll do the best I can to help you with that".

Snowboarding is just one of the great things you can do to keep your brain entertained and is quite extreme. You'll get similar results just by switching hands, walking in the dark or trying to draw music. Whatever you do - don't leave it up to chance - plan for what you are going to do right now. Put it on your to-do list and stick with it.  If you're not quite clear what you can do to start, "Keep Your Brain Alive!" is a great start.

Now go and freak out.
