'Reach for the top' in "2012"

We truly have a responsibility to try new activities,
so as to address the elemental changes in brain function

that occurs with age, beginning at a much earlier age than you think. How about the "thirties." Having the capability, energy and enthusiasm to try new things can be one of the most extraordinary benefits by making an effort to improve the brain. It can also be overwhelming.By activating the important brain chemicals,  and speeding up visualization and also sharpening our focus, we become more analytical and inspired. We will tend to be more motivated and complete tasks that perhaps we would not have previously completed and also have gained improved listening skills.
