How can I become smarter??


Question: I keep making stupid little mistakes. I stutter alot now. My words come out wrong, I cant express my self they way I want. If I want to say a simple sentence I have to think about how im goin to word it. I find myself making simple addition mistakes at work and Im having a hard time memorizing steps to things at work. Am I sick. Its starting to interfere with my personal life. Serious answers only please.
Answers: A few things you can do to help you out are

1. Read, reading will stimulate your brain activity knocking out some of those cobwebs that may be slowing you down. Make sure you read something you enjoy, so you will actually do it.

2. Do puzzles, like word searches, crosswords, whatever you enjoy, I personally like the word searches. Doing this will keep you focused which will help you stay sharp and clearer.

3. Exercise; when you exercise you release ceratin hormones that will help you stay clearer and smarter, exercise at least 3-4 times a week, morning is the best time, wake up an hour earlier and try it, get in a good habit and you will notice immediate results.

4. Get a good night sleep, at least six solid hours, this is paramount in staying focused.

5. Eat right, remember you are what you eat...this is a fact. Use portion control, (proteins, complex carbs and vegies should be about the size of your fist) when eating and drink plenty of water. Also take a good multi vitamin for added nutrients.

Try these things for three months and I guarantee you will notice a big difference, you'll be more confident and secure which will make you smarter and you'll feel better.

Good luck

don't push yourself too hard. the more you think about it, the more you get yourself tied up in knots. relax your mind and think happy thoughts. =)
I agree with the sweetest
Read non-fiction books before bedtime. Choose topics that fascinate you.
That doesn't mean you aren't smart. Maybe you should talk to a doctor, alot of times there is a medical problem. It could be a medication or stress.
well until you mentioned serious answers....I was going to cite a Seinfeld episode where Elaine went without sex and became more like George and when george went without sex he became brilliant...

but I digress....seriously, I have this problem as well...so I think twice before speaking, just relax- you can get self conscious which only makes it worse..you are already a smart cookie..just let it happen..
WOW!!!!! you have just discribed me. Except for the stuttering. My familly has that problem I over came it by always speaking slower and I actually used to record myself reading and speaking out loud. That might work for you. If you listen to what you sound like then you will know what to work on. Good luck.
You may have a learning disability.
Try reading.

Reading exercises the brain.

Read out loud when you are alone and it will help your speech.
First off, never put yourself down.. you're being too hard on yourself. Have faith, take a deep breath.
As for your stuttering, try practicing what you're going to say in front of a mirror.
Finally, avoid self pity. Once you feel better about yourself, all will be clear as day & you'll be able to overcome your fear.
Good Luck.
The mind is marvelous! you just have to believe in yourself, you just have to brake down the code inside your mind, it is true, try it, make this example: repeat at least 3 times that you are smart and your mind is going to help you to be so...
you are sick,
go to the cuckoo house and get some help
