“The human race is like a puzzle: Everyone fits in somewhere, it just takes a while to figure it out.” Jen Leaman
Although jigsaw puzzles have been around for centuries, the Industrial Revolution really put them on the map–literally! The first puzzles were educational aids in the study of geography. Since that time, puzzles have become a mainstay of American life. Puzzle enthusiasts might even be considered the original “gamers.” According to the widely cited MacArthur study, puzzles–whether backed by wood or cardboard–can be a great boon to your mind’s health, both intellectually and even emotionally. Bring one with you to your cabin rentals in Canton, TX, and start accruing these benefits:
- Memory retention–you can help stave off dementia, memory loss, and even Alzheimer’s by using your puzzling powers.
- Organization and self-talk–mindfully solving a jigsaw puzzle can increase your awareness of your own self-talk and help you to use it more effectively for organization (I’m going to put all the sky pieces in this pile) and discrimination (that piece is too dark for this area).
- Meta-cognition–thinking about your thinking skills–can be carried over to other aspects of your life and help you problem-solve there, too.
- Concentration–today’s fast-paced, high-tech world often leads to distraction. Attending to a puzzle for ever-longer periods of time can counteract those effects, as can spending time in gorgeous cabin rentals in Canton, TX. Coincidence? Of course not!
- Perseverance and goal-setting–completing a puzzle takes time and effort, but the reward includes a feeling of accomplishment that can then lead to a desire to complete a bigger or more difficult puzzle. Continuing to set more goals is a wonderful life skill to have at any age.
“I wanna make a jigsaw puzzle that’s 40,000 pieces. And when you finish it, it says ‘go outside.’” Demetri Martin
