Step 6: Listen to Relaxing Music

Relaxing music, especially classical music, has been discovered to increase
intelligence quotient especially among kids. The effect is not caused by some
magical melody though. According to experts, music stimulates the brain to
release various hormones that aid the brain into thinking clearer and processing
information faster, and at the same time, smoothen out the mood to make you
more emotionally stable.

There is an ongoing British study that seeks the connection between music and
intelligence. Although the 20-year study is yet to be finished in more than a
decade, initial findings already associate fast-tempo classical music (like most
compositions of Tchaikovsky) to numerical intelligence while slow-tempo music
(like most compositions of Rachmaninoff) is linked to reasoning and creativity.
