Mental Fitness

Training the brain can be compared to taking supplements. People take supplements if their nutritional needs are not being met through their diet and lifestyle. It’s the same with going to the gym when we aren’t getting enough movement into our days.?

Training your child’s brain can be viewed similarly. If there is a deficit, or you simply want to create more capacity, training is a way to do so. Once they have reached the required level, you simply need to maintain that level.

In our assessment app, is a game that trains all five cognitive domains. You can’t choose what game you play, that’s determined by your cognitive fitness score. For example, if you score low on executive function, your game will give you more training on that, while still making sure you train the other four cognitive domains.

Of course, a game is not the only way to train your brain. There are many other ways of improving

your mental fitness, things most people know about already, but either don’t do or aren’t consistent in:

• Getting proper sleep
• Moving every day
• Keeping yourself flexible
• Continuing to learn
• Eating well
• Drinking enough water
• Taking recharge breaks
• Continuing to adapt and make things challenging
• Allowing yourself full and active recovery
• Doing things with passion/love
• Having quality time for yourself
• Having quality time with others
• Using stress to your advantage, not staying under pressure for too long

Mental fitness encompasses the processes that enable you to focus, understand, and respond with speed and accuracy; to store and retrieve, and remember information; to plan, process, and solve problems; and to think of the consequences of your actions before undertaking them. Your personality, emotions and values are all linked to your mental fitness.

We want you and your family to be in peak mental fitness, so that you can break through bullying (and life’s other obstacles). We want you to earn a black belt in resilience.
