Have you always wanted to have the ability to solve problems efficiently and easily? Most people who possess these deductive reasoning skills have them from birth, yet you can work hard to become a more logical thinker!
Steps
Step 1. Exercise your brain with puzzles
To be a more logical thinker, it can be profitable to frequently play some puzzles such as Sudoku, Rubik's Cube, Tetramag and Word Finder. If you can afford it, also buy an inexpensive Nintendo DS and the game 'Dr Kawashima's Brain Training'. Your brain, like every other muscle in your body, needs to be exercised to develop and strengthen.
Step 2. Note the small details
Making a conscious effort to notice seemingly irrelevant things will be of great help in your attempt to become more logical. Would you notice a newspaper clipping attached to your friend's hand? Do you count the steps on the flights of stairs in the school? Do you notice typos in the lyrics? If not, now is the time for a change. The higher the level of your practice, the healthier your mind becomes and the more critical your thinking ability will prove.
Step 3. Eat healthy
A healthy mind resides in a healthy body, and a healthy mind is also a logical mind! Drink plenty of water daily and reduce the amount of sugar you consume. Eat fish, vegetables, fruit, etc. They will provide you with the vitamins and nutrients you need to have a perfectly fit mind, thereby increasing your cognitive ability to think logically.
Step 4. Sleep well
A lack of sleep leads to health problems including fatigue, obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease, reduced lifespan, suppressed immune system and depression. That said, it will be virtually impossible to think critically when you are feeling fatigued. In the average person, a lack of sleep can impair the five senses by up to 40%. You should give yourself a minimum of 8 hours of sleep, and if you are a child or young teenager, you may also need 12 hours of rest.
Step 5. Practice meditation
Meditation is an effective form of stress reduction and has the ability to improve the quality of your life. Meditate in your free time. Meditation relaxes your mind, body and soul and provides you with the energy you need to take on a new beginning. Choose the type of meditation you prefer, such as breathing, music or Sri yantra.
