Hi myLotters! With what we are doing here in myLot, from reading to posting, it came to my mind and made me realized that myLot can be considered as an exercise, a mind exercise. We do a lot of thinking here. We really need to stimulate our minds to be able to come up with a fruitful idea. We are doing a problem solving here, thinking of a solution, analyzing the topic, thinking of a good idea, sharing opinions, and having a friendly debates sometimes. Mylot is also like chess sometimes, it requires a lot of thinking. We know that exercise is healthy and needed by our body, so myLotting is a healthy hobby. We are very fortunate for having myLot and it's always here 24 hours. It's like a gym where we can visit anytime and do a mind exercise. Lol! What do you think, do you also consider that myLot is a mind exercise? I would be glad to hear from you. Have a great day and happy myLotting everyone! :)

No, don't force yourself. You may just get worse. Just follow your doctor's said, no exercise for the meantime. :) Don't worry angel saph, just prepare yourself next time. It's time to take your meds :)

it is great to have an online forum like mylot. i not only have the chance to exercise my english but its also about fun and learning some things other places in the internet won't be able to provide. the level of interest with mylot is just there and there's nothing i could do about it. i stop every now and then because its crucial to not overwork the mind so yes mylot can be considered as a training zone. too much of it and the exhaustion manifests itself.

Yes, I find that's very true indeed. We have to think about what we are going to say in posts and if we start a discussion. The more we do it, the more ideas will come to us and sharpen our brains up a lot.
There is also the benefit of getting advice on a variety of experiences from members on here with the knowledge. For instance my main area of knowledge it self development as I have worked as a therapist for many years. I also have quite a lot of experiences with computers as I've fixed mine so many times.
I have gotten advice from others regarding blogging and marketing that has been very valuable.

I certainly agree. Mylot helps to exercise not only my thinking skills but my language skills as well. i have been on hiatus mode for two and half years. I stopped going to school due to an illness. I spent most of my time here at our one bedroom condominium unit. good thing, i have got a laptop that i can use everyday. i discovered mylot while looking for ways to make real cash online. i am enjoying mylot, a lot. it's been helping me to forget the tensions/worries i have been feeling for the past few years.

yes i think mylot has given me opportunities to exercise my mind. the discussion topics are varied and makes me think of some things that i probably would not normally think of as i go through my day. some topics stimulate/inspire me to post a response.

I agree with you.
This site is fantastic.
I have an imaginative mind... guess the right brain is more active. But this site help me to practice the other side of my brain. I hope someday both sides of my brain could be very active. Haha
It also helps me to become proficient in speaking English.

hi harold yes I do think it is like a mind exercise as we stretch
our minds to figure out how to help someone, or to help solve
a problem or just to figure out how to best listen and offer
a shoulder to cry on and a hang out to help someone get back on
their feet again. so I will even exercise for my friend in the
box below as she says she is not allowed to exercise. he he

Hi antiquelady! Yes, our minds will become rusty and lose it's sharpness if we will not use it. So myLot is really a good way and a good mind exercise to keep us active. Thank you for responding and have a great day! :)

That is so inspiring. I've seen changes with the way I think ever since I joined mylot. I used to be a very non-sense-just-say-anything person. Atleast now I am trying to come up with good thoughts before I say anything.

Wow!what a great insight.I also consider this site a mind exercise too.You got it point by point.I agree that we do a lot of thinking here that sometimes causing me too be mentally tired of thinking what to respond or what to start about.I dont just give comments blow by blow.I think about my idea thoroughly.The first time that I joined here I first thought on how can I earn here and I know that is a slow process but still Im coming back just for discussion and not concentrating on what will my earnings will come out.You gave some good views and I loved it.Happy mylotting!

Hi yula015! Thank you for the positive comments that you have said, compliments I should say. Well, yes we don't just posting here without using our minds. In responding, we have to read first the topic and it's contents, then analyze it, then think of what we can tell or share about it. While in starting our own, we don't stop on thinking of a topic, we still need to say something fruitful about it for us to make a sense. Yes, we should not focus on the earnings, it is actually just a bonus benefit. What we can really get here is learning and fun. Thank you for responding and have a great day! Happy myLotting! :)

Hello Harold,
I completely agree with you , mylot is like mind exercise, in chess we need good concentration and tatics to play well,Here too we need our mind to bring new ideas, solution to discussion, recollect ideas, what we already know either we have read somewhere or heard it to bring it to disussion.Just as palying chess stimulates our mind similar is mylot but in differnt way.
