how old is your mind the way you think this goes beyond what books you've read, the years you've lived or the great people.

Perhaps you've been told that you're wise for your years or the other way around where you surprised people by understanding and learning like someone X number of years younger than you.

Basic passive voice

It's one of the few times being markedly different is considered a good thing and some people managed to stay closer to optimal than others.

Let's take a look at some ways you can tell number one you have bursts of energy and focus.

Yeah we know you can gain for hours and your twitch feed is blowing up right now but that's not exactly what we're talking about.

Are you able to laser guide your focus on a task to meet a goal?

Do you notice yourself still excited and working on an objective?

That others quit a long time ago Despite in the beginning everyone saying they wanted the same thing.

This can be a sign of your brain remaining flexible and ready to dance.

Being able to retain that ability to assimilate and integrate new knowledge via the same kind of focus and determination is a sign of intelligence.

Number two you are aware of and value your time.

Does your relaxation still involve doing maybe it's not work but you're still doing something and if you're forced to just sit and not read, not talk not think.

Yeah you feel that hyper awareness of time, your time ticking away.

That splinter in your mind driving you mad.

Okay you're kidding sorry, you're not likely Neo, but mindless twiddling does bug you.

You could be reading that article you put away for later, you could be starting that craft project, you could be figuring out how to do that thing, you could be doing something that is meaningful, purposeful and useful to you if you'd rather do that than a mindless activity like blindly scrolling through social media or picking out your fingernails.

This demonstrates a desire to learn and to stimulate your brain which is smart.

Have you felt dissatisfaction and no desire to participate in activities that stay the same?

The person next to you may be content doing the same unchanging thing repeatedly and when you invite them to take a new course with you or attend a convention where you can learn more about something.

They give you a look that says but why basically there is knowledge out there, knowledge about that thing you like and you hunger for it.

So you've had a lesson or learned a concept and just like a good snack, you just can't stop at one.

And our desire to climb higher for ourselves also improves that desire to be smarter feed that need number four, you can think sideways long ways and always have you gotten a response of I never thought of it that way to a solution or idea you've proffered maybe you gave a creative working solution and even though no one responded, you found your solution being used anyhow.

Some people just can't admit you suggested something.

They hadn't and wouldn't have thought of this doesn't negate the fact that you still blew their mind and thought outside the box.

Give yourself bonus points for emotional intelligence though if they do admit you out thought them because you did something to make them willing to swallow their pride.

If you find yourself surprising others with new perspectives, ideas and solutions, especially with a wide variety of people, you're flexing that critical thinking muscle.

# five, looking into who someone is not what they look like.

Do you walk yourself back from making a snap judgment of someone, Maybe you're willing to give them the benefit of the doubt until you've had the chance to observe or know them more.

You want to see the person behind the persona.

Your conversation with them doesn't skirt on the innate.

But delves into finding out how they think their opinions and who they are having an ability to treat people for who they are on the inside rather than how they look on the outside.

Is a deep sign of both kindness and emotional intelligence and number six, your ship of emotions has an even keel short version you think and chill before tackling a situation.

Any situation we mean, even if you really just want to give that prickly argumentative person a dope slap.

You know, even when your friend is doing something really unwise, you resist the urge to blurt out.

Take a good oxygen to the brain breath and think about how best to help and not harm you.

Consider how your words would affect them.

So you put some thought into phrasing it as best as possible.

Instead of whipping back with a curt verbal slap naturally, you need to feel what you feel.

What's smart though is when you find ways to deal with your feelings to the benefit of everyone rather than depending on reflex and impulse.

Side note of reassurance occasionally, no matter how well you phrase something and how thoroughly you thought out in action, some people will still obstinately refuse to be decent.

Please don't stress your good, You did your thing.

Do you feel smarter or better about your smarts?

 Perhaps you've recognized one of these points and now realize, hey, that's a good thing.
