If you know the person in charge of international holidays, I’d like to propose a yearly celebration to repair our aging brains. Call it “Reboot Your Brain Day,” or something similar, but it would show Mother Nature’s fountain of fixes for the human brain. We’d start with showcasing chemical and electrical systems that nurture and sustain brain cells.

For instance, I’d hire a few gifted musicians to show how favorite tunes can move and track your brain waves into better moods and creative adventures. Don Campbell could come to tell us how to …”Tap the power of music to strengthen the mind and unlock the creative spirit.”

I’d enlist sleep experts too. They’d show how we stay awake better during the day, by sleeping better at night. I’d enlist Gilio Tononi’s ideas from the University of Wisconsin-Madison to help the brain rewire during a good sleep.

My global holiday would also gather respected comedians to help us link laughter and intelligence to liven up a boring calendar. It’s easily done – whenever we laugh together to improve the chemical and nerve cell communications across the brain. Scientists see it like data flows between high-performance computers, routers and servers to fly magically across the internet. Laughter adds the high-performance parts to healthy brains.

Then, an Olympian star would lead us in a series of movements that draw from kinesthetic intelligence. The idea is to improve mental function in every area of our lives. It could be done from deep breathing exercises to taking up a fun new sport. Encouragement to take on a kinesthetic adventure to boost the brain’s output through a fun new routine that fits into what you already like to do.

Finally, an naturalistic expert would stop by to help unlock naturalistic parts for a healthier brain. It could happen through showing nature as the playground for the mind it was intended to be, to rethinking how rivers near you impact a fix for the brain.

By the way, who’s in charge of creating international holidays anyway? Think they’d go for in one day a year to reboot the brain for global benefits?
