Mental Fitness Backed by Neuroscience

“Your brain wasn’t built to binge. It was built to build.” – CogZart

Ever finish a long screen-scrolling session and feel mentally... flat? You're not alone. That's cognitive under-stimulation — your brain begging for a challenge that doesn’t come with blue light.

The fix? A mental workout.

What is a Mental Workout?

Just like your body thrives on squats, planks, or cardio your brain needs too.

A mental workout is:

• Purposeful (not passive)

• Engaging (not mindless)

• Flow-inducing (not draining)

Think: keeping focus, pattern recognition, problem-solving exactly what Circzles Jigsaw Puzzles is built for.

The Neuroscience Breakdown

1. Mental Reps Increase Neural Efficiency

   According to Harvard Health Publishing, brain games that challenge your working memory and problem-solving increase neural efficiency & you solve faster, think sharper. 1

   
   

2. Repetition Builds Neuroplasticity

   The Circzles puzzles use repeating but non-identical patterns & this activates visual-spatial processing and strengthens the parietal cortex. 2

   
   

3. Deep Focus Triggers Flow

   Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (father of “Flow”) proved that puzzles create the perfect zone: challenging but doable ~ the sweet spot for growth. 3

Is Your Brain Out of Shape?

Signs you need a mental workout:

• Struggling to focus for >10 minutes

• Doomscrolling with zero retention

• Feeling exhausted without doing anything hard

 If this is you, it's not Laziness. It's a signal your brain is under-challenged.
