Maybe if I work on trying to learn some new/different things that I’ve never learned before, that might help to activate new parts of my brain – and then maybe those newly activated parts could also re-learn old things - but what should my new things be? Any suggestions?
I've already received the suggestion of learning guitar (which is probably a good one, but I don't have a guitar).
Any others?

You could try to learn to knit - it can be cheap to start up with. Also, I bet you would knit the most amazingly odd things!
ReplyDeleteAny kind of musical instrument. I tried guitar, but it hurt my fingers. I played a cheesy, plastic keyboard in high school--learned to sightread a bit & everything. A small one would probably be cheap & easier on the fingers.
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies! I wrote down knitting, keyboard, and piano as possibilties.
ReplyDeleteI might suggest going to your library, finding a subject on which you know very little, and start reading about it.
ReplyDeleteI know that mathematics is 510 in the Dewey Decimal System, and cryptography is 652. Maybe one of those could be a start.
