my brain still feels pretty fast at 35yo

[fdeshieldplus]

i'm in my 50s and i think my mind is actually faster and more efficient than when i was in my 20s. i think it's because i have much higher confidence in my thought processes. i can trust that certain heuristics i've developed over the years will lead me down the right path

i also think going to the gym regularly and doing heavy lifts has honed my mental resilience and focus.

in terms of reflex, i need more warm up time, but generally once i start doing the task, it's as fast as in my 20s
