Q: Is it important to keep my mind active during summer months?

Question

A: Yes, it is imperative that you continue to learn and keep your mind active while you are not in school. This is done best by attempting the following: Sleep 8-10 hours every night. Eat a balanced meal, with lots of Omega-3 Fatty acid food, or DHA, found in fish and in supplements. Reading every day at least 20 minutes, improves your vocabulary, and creates neurological pathways open in the brain. If you watch TV, look at your phone, and youtube the summer away, you will not only lose what you worked so hard to learn last year, but it makes for a tough transition when you get to school in the fall. Do yourself a solid, and grab a few books and place in front of the TV remote, next to your bed at night, and one by the toilet. You were created for more than just TikTok and Bubblecrush!

Answer 1

Yes, you must keep your mind active. Reading and completing puzzles are wonderful ideas to keep your mind going. After you read, I would also suggest journaling about what you read, or you could just keep a journal of your daily activities in paragraph form to keep your writing skills up as well.
