Ground Work for An Active Mind pt.3
A sharp mind is a valuable asset. Having the ability to think clearly, solve problems, and adapt to all that life throws at you plays a pivotal role in our overall well-being. When your child is unwell or hospitalized for any amount of time, it can be an emotionally challenging and draining experience. Your primary focus is on their well-being, and understandably, your mental and emotional resources are often directed toward their care and recovery. However, it is equally important to take care of yourself. One part of this is by staying mentally active. While genetics and lifestyle choices play a significant role in maintaining mental sharpness, there are several strategies and activities you can incorporate into your life to keep your mind active and engaged.
