3 Habits That Will Make You Smarter Proven Ways To Improve Intelligence

By -

Hey guys this is Max from BePrimo. I want to teach you three habits that you can start today to make yourself smarter. The first is read books. Read mostly non fiction books. I recommend reading book about Self Improvement, People/Relationships, and anything non-fiction (history, science, food, etc).

Next, exercise. Exercise is linked with neurogenesis, which is the production of new brain cells and increased BDNF (Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor- the “miracle gro” for the brain). Additionally, it’s associated with lowering your stress. It helps you adjust and prevent your mood from impacting your day too strongly.

We all have biases that sometimes hold us back or make it easy to be fooled. Lastly, learn about systems thinking and scientific-based thinking. It’ll help you make better decisions and lead a happier life. So what are you going to today to improve your thinking and become a smarter person?

It can be difficult sometimes when you’re trying to fill that awkward silence with someone- especially on a date. Be in the moment. The first thing you need to do if you want to create interest in the other person is to stay engaged during your date. You want to show them that they come first. When in doubt, ask questions. You might feel pressured to fill the silence on a date, but rest easy because you can let them do the talking for you. You just need to ask the right questions.
