Create new neural networks today by strengthening your mind-body connection. This mind work exercise invites you to exercise your body and your mind at the same time. Have fun. Always keep in mind that it does not matter how well you are able to do this task. Do it in your imagination if it is too difficult to move both your body and challenge your memory at the same time.

This one looks simple at first glance. But, after repeating it out loud for seven times – you will have repeated it 21 times in a row. Believe me when I say it is not as easy as it looks. You will probably have the entire family repeating this silly set of three words throughout the holidays.
Do this now: Repeat the tongue twister below seven (7) times using a loud, strong voice. Memorize this tongue twister. You only have to remember three words in the correct order.
Purple Paper People, Purple Paper People, Purple Paper People.
Once memorized, say this tongue twister out loud every time you see a holiday decoration during the next three days. Saying this tongue twister activates the power of your brain’s plasticity. Your neurons will thank you.
What is a tongue-twister?
A tongue-twister is a phrase that is designed to be difficult to articulate properly. Tongue-twisters rely on similar but distinct phenomena, unfamiliar constructs or other strange combinations of the sound and meaning of words. Tongue-twisters use a combination of alliteration and rhyme. They have two or three sequences of sounds. The same sequences are repeated with an exchange of similar sounds.
Why does saying tongue twisters out loud help Build Neural Networks?
Talking loudly improves your voice significantly. Memorization of seemingly nonsensical sentences forges new neural networks. This benefits motor skills and memory acuity as well as expressiveness.
