Research shows that anyone can have a second chance to shine.

This past year, we've discovered that Lumosity training can positively impact groups as diverse as healthy adults, children recovering from cancer, students worldwide, and patients struggling with emotional problems.
In short, we've been pretty amazed by what dedication to Lumosity training—and cognitive training in general—can do.
So in 2013, resolve to be a brighter you—everything we learned suggests that it's more than possible. Subscribe for 35% off and consider adopting one of the resolutions below:

"I resolve to be smarter and sharper this year."

Solution:
Lumosity can increase visual attention and working memory. In a 2011 study published in Mensa, participants who did Lumosity training 20 minutes a day for 5 weeks did better than a control group in tests of attention and memory. The study showed that Lumosity training transfers to real-life abilities.

The Takeaway:
Train for real-world cognitive benefits. Train regularly to make it stick!

"I resolve to stick to my resolutions and resist temptations this year."

Solution:
Daily brain training can strengthen willpower and promote healthy lifestyle choices. A University of Amsterdam study found that problem drinkers who followed challenging cognitive training regimens drank less than a control group who did only the easiest regimens. Morever, improvements endured one month later.

The Takeaway:
Challenge yourself with advanced exercises—like Memory Lane and Brain Shift Overdrive—and you may boost your willpower.

"I resolve to be more confident and less stressed
this year."

Solution:
Cognitive training can enhance emotional regulation. Dr. Annett Gyurak found that cognitive training (Lumosity and otherwise) could target the skills necessary for emotional well-being. Participants who underwent training felt reduced anxiety and depression, plus increases in beneficial emotional processing.

The Takeaway:
A smarter brain could also mean a confident, happier one if you train executive function.

"I resolve to make big strides in my career this year."

Solution:
Working memory is linked to high job performance. Harvard psychologist Daniel Higgens found that prefrontal cognitive ability—including working memory—correlated with the performance ratings that managers received from their supervisors.

The Takeaway:
Train your brain in your free time, and your job performance might rise.
