This weekend, I'm actually braving the chaos in Phoenix to attend the WM Open golf tournament with my family.
I don't know how to golf, but it's something that my nephews are passionate about, and I'm willing to learn!
Science now has proven that the best way to keep your brain healthy is to keep learning.
And, apparently, crossword puzzles and Soduko just aren't enough.
We have to challenge ourselves to learn something that requires our brains to work- hard!
Things like learning a foreign language, taking up a musical instrument, playing a sport you've never played, taking up a new hobby, taking a class on a topic that you know little about- they all require us to use different parts of our brain than we're accustomed to using.
It helps our brains grow and set our brains up to be healthy for years from now.
Why, you could even take on learning how to be a coordinator for one of our Club service projects, become a committee chair, or help write grants!
Let your imagination run wild!
There's all sorts of opportunities to learn to do new things in our Club and in Rotary!
So I encourage you- what might you take on as a new challenge for your brain?
What's the first the step you'll take?
Make it a brain-healthy, learning kind of week!
