The best way to breath is to take it from your belly. Many people do not know this mode of breathing. Take several slow breaths from your belly. Stomach breathing activates your brain. It helps you to improve your thinking skills and memory.
Deep breathing also increases the oxygen flow to your brain cells. As a result they become more active.
Studies also have shown that Chewing gum also can help you improve you thinking skills. The act of chewing gum increases the flow of blood to your brain. People chewing gum are able to concentrate better and remember new information better. It is good to use sugar free gum to avoid any side effects.
You can also try arm circles. It is good to go to a place where no one can see you. It is enough to do 10-15 set of arm circles.To do an arm circle,just extend your arm straight out to the front. Then swing your arm all the way behind you and back to the front. Always keep your elbow blocked while performing these exercises. It will increase you heart rate which is considered good for your brain.
Make use of some brain games. Puzzles and brainteasers force your mind to get in active mode. The various types like crossword puzzles, Sudoku, etc can be made use of for this purpose.
Drink enough water. Don't go for sodas, colas or coffee. Don't eat chocolate or sweets. They'll decrease your ability to concentrate and remember things. It is said that many people are dehydrated all the time and don't realize it. Your brain is easily affected by it. Therefore, make sure that you drink enough water.
Having too much food that contains fat or sugar will badly affect your thinking skills. Taking not meals can make you tired. Therefore, eat a small, balanced meal. Include foods that help the brain operate well, such as fish, vegetables, and whole grains.
When you are trying to study try using all the senses. The different parts of your brain remember different sense impressions. For example images are stored in one area and sounds in another.
When you study new information, set a timer. Allot only a specific amount of time to learn the material. You can again subdivide them. Maybe something like this, 10 minutes to read, 20 minutes to review and 10 minute to recite. It will force you to focus because you know that your time is limited.

How can a teacher help students improve their thinking skills?
Answered by wikiHow Contributor
Try to provide the students with fresh air, if possible, such as by opening windows. Also, consider granting the students small breaks during class that they can use for a bit of movement. Movement and fresh air can increase attention span and concentration; this in turn increases thinking skills.

What would prevent my skills from improving?
Answered by wikiHow Contributor
Your thinking skills won't improve if you don't use or practice them enough. In same cases (such as a foreign language) it can even decrease. Of course, other factors could also influence the improvement (or decline) of a skill, such as genes and abilities/talents.

How do I avoid my bad habits?
Answered by wikiHow Contributor
Using positive imagery and reinforcement is the best way to change bad habits. For example, if you want to quit smoking, reward your progress by treating yourself after milestones (hours, days, weeks, months without smoking) are reached. Imagine yourself as a new person free from the bad habit and picture how much better your life without it.

Meditation can be helpful to think better. Start with 5 minutes in the morning and five minutes before bed,every day.
