Drive Home Using a New Route If you drive home from work using the same route every single day, your brain processes the information the same way each time, using the same brain pathways. "The neural links between brain areas required to perform that trip become strong. But other links to areas that were initially activated when the route was novel --such as a new smell, sight, or sound when you rounded a certain corner -- get weaker as the trip becomes routine," says Lawrence Katz in his book.
So, by choosing a path less traveled, you open your brain up to new sensory associations and problem solving skills.
