In my opinion, making space for brain power growth while juggling everything else in life begins with awareness--maybe even automated reminders from your online calendar. For people of my generation and older, feeling stuck and believing that we lack power and ability to change (our reactions, our brain power and our "natural abilities/talents") is common. We grew up with the message that we had a 'set point' for intelligence and achievement. I love your Jan 30/09 post, "Move Intelligence Up a Notch Today" (http://tinyurl.com/bx9a33) because not only do you offer clear, practical ways to increase different intelligences, but the activities are so conducive to relaxation, regeneration, and creative thinking. Adding an extra intelligence to our toolkit is easier than we realize! Hi Ellen … thanks for your comment!

Great site. I was curious about what activities you would suggest - to help a person create space for brainpower growth on a busy day. Would you suggest using one extra intelligence, for instance:-)?
