The Brain Gazette
Monthly Newsletter
June 2020 Issue
Dear Readers,
The COVID-19 restrictions in numerous countries have eased and cities are getting back to normal. Retail and wholesale shops are allowed to accept customers and more people can now get back to work. Despite the good news, it is inevitable to feel anxious and have uncertainties for the future. While these things may be out of our control, having a healthy mindset can be the key to coping with these difficult circumstances.
Likewise, schools are planned to open in September. The initial weeks that students spend at school can be crucial to the success of the entire school year. After a long holiday, kids and adults are more likely to experience the “summer brain drain”. It is best to exercise the brain and stretch out your cognitive abilities in preparation for the next school year.
This month’s newsletter will address the aforementioned and will showcase articles that can help you deal with these issues. For more information about Brainnovation and brain training, you may contact us at any time or check out our website.
Cheers,
Team Brainnovation
