On Thursday, May 23; Christine Meek presented a series of neurotic exercises designed to stimulate the brain, keep us mentally sharp, prevent memory loss, and improve our mood as we age. During the session, she guided us through exercises using our non-dominant hand, as well as physical movements like rotating our right ankle in a clockwise motion and air-drawing the number 6 with our right finger. She also suggested several other activities to practice on our own:- Try going home using a different route than the one you took to get here.
- When at the grocery store, explore the aisles in a different pattern.
- Drive home with the windows rolled down.
- Brush your teeth with your non-dominant hand.
- Get dressed with your eyes closed.
- Memorize a poem, Bible verse, or song lyrics.
All of this was quite entertaining as fellow Rotarians attempted to balance on one leg while rotating the other. But the most entertaining part of the evening was watching Christine’s efforts to keep Paul Derda in check.
