How you can improve your thinking ability

Introduction:
Thinking process refers to the steps or ways required to fulfill/achieve/complete a task. It’s an important aspect of critical thinking. Critical thinking is the objective analysis of a problem by carefully stating your arguments to reach a desired and rational conclusion/judgement/result. When thinking processes are involved, we can reach a more clear conclusion and it helps us be a better judge of character and helps us build reasonable arguments.

The few main things to keep in mind to improve ones thinking process and ability are:

• Train your Memory:
Training your memory refers to how one can improve their memory by reading or making sure that your brain is never stagnant. If one trains their memory regularly then it’s possible for them to retain information. Reading and writing regularly, memorization is an useful way to do so.

• Question facts:
Whenever you learn a new fact, try to find out more about it and try to question as to why it’s the way it is. Try not to think the conventional way and always think outside the box. Even if it’s something you’ve known for a long time and it’s always been the way it is, question it’s authenticity and it’s relatability.

• Read:
Make it a habit to read a lot, even it’s just a page a day, remember to read. It’s an important element to improve your thinking ability. Reading helps your vocabulary and it also intrigues your mind and makes you question what’s around you.

• Self awareness:
To have an excellent thinking ability, becoming self aware is very necessary. Noticing your surroundings and changes happening with you can help you overcome your narrow-minded attitude as you get to learn so much about yourself and how mature you can be when the situation calls for it.

• Active listening:
While getting yourself involved in the process of improving your thinking ability, active listening plays an important role. Just like how you need to be aware of your surroundings, listening carefully to others and your own self is very important. Never ignore your gut feeling. While trying to come to a conclusion, always try to consider the opinion of others too and compare it with your arguments to see which would be a better fit for the situation to resolve.

• 

• Rest:
While trying to improve your thinking ability, resting is very significant. While trying to learn new information and retaining that information, your brain might be overworked and needs a few minutes for itself before it starts to proceed gaining new information. Resting doesn’t only mean to lie down or to close your eyes. It could mean anything which is peaceful for you, it could be exercising, meditation, painting, singing, dancing etc. There’s no fixed method. Whatever brings you peace and calms you down can be called resting.

• Engage in multitasking:
Doing one task at a time is great but it’s amazing if you’re capable of completing 2 or more tasks at the same time. Don’t always play safe. Try to come out of your comfort zone and learn something new. Completion of many tasks at a time could save you time and energy which will therefore give you more time to engage in other interests.

Conclusion:
There’s no fixed way of knowing how to improve your thinking ability. It’s all about how much you want to put in effort to better yourself so it mainly depends on you.
