At Contigo Soy, we believe in the power of the mind as much as the power of the body.
In a world where time flies and distractions are constant, it is essential to find spaces that allow us to stop and take care of ourselves, not only physically, but also mentally. This is where the concept of neurofitness becomes very relevant. But what is neurofitness and how can we exercise our memory to keep our brain in shape?
Neurofitness refers to a set of practices and exercises designed to improve brain health. Just as physical exercise strengthens our body, neurofitness focuses on maintaining and improving our cognitive abilities, including memory, attention, and creativity. These activities stimulate the brain, fostering neural connections and improving brain plasticity.
Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to reorganize and adapt to new experiences. As we learn and practice new skills, our neurons form new connections and strengthen existing ones. This phenomenon is essential for learning and memory, and can be enhanced with the right activities.
Neurogenesis is the process by which new neurons are generated, mainly in the hippocampus, a region of the brain associated with memory and learning. This process can be stimulated by factors such as physical exercise, exposure to enriched environments and the practice of relaxation techniques.
That is why, at Contigo Soy, we practice and promote neurofitness. In our creative experiences, we combine art, sensoriality and techniques that promote mental, emotional and spiritual growth.
Creative strategies to exercise memory and improve neuroplasticity
1. Paint with chocolate or wine
Imagine an activity where you let your creativity flow while tasting and painting with chocolate or wine. Not only is it a fun experience, but it also stimulates the 5 senses, your mind and allows new neural connections to emerge. The act of creating, combining flavors, smells, sounds, shapes, colors and experimenting with textures promotes neuroplasticity.
2. Listen to music and relax
Music has a profound effect on our mood and cognitive ability. Listening to relaxing tunes or even taking part in a live music session can boost concentration and memory. At contigo Soy we create an immersive environment for you to enjoy.
3. Create
Activities that encourage creativity
4. Learn new skills
We offer inclusive experiences designed to help you discover, reflect and reconnect with yourself. We combine creativity with the exploration of new tools that help you release and manage stress. We believe that each new skill you acquire will help you strengthen your neural connections and improve neurogenesis.
5. Share creative moments
Interacting with others is essential to keeping our minds sharp. Participating in group activities, sharing laughter, and creating new and pleasant memories together fosters social connection and stimulates creativity. Shared fun is not only rewarding, but it also boosts your memory.
Other important recommended practices include:
Therapy provides you with a safe space to explore your thoughts and emotions. A professional therapist can help you find clarity and new perspectives.
Nature, spending time outdoors, will help you reduce stress and improve your mood. It rejuvenates your mind and body.
Physical exercise with a creative twist, dancing or a yoga class will not only keep you active, but will also stimulate your mind. Physical exercise, combined with creativity, boosts both neuroplasticity and neurogenesis.
