Does your job make you think too much? Even though sometimes it may not seem like it, that’s a good thing.

Mentally demanding jobs come with an extra big perk: they keep you mentally sharp even as you age. Day-to-day work that requires negotiation, analysis, and decision-making builds up something called your “cognitive reserve” which is a level of mental function that helps you avoid mental decline.

So while you’re solving problems and planning, organizing and strategizing with tough clients, you might feel like your brain is going to explode. In reality, however, you’re warding off dementia.

That’s not to say that all complex, taxing jobs are healthy in the long run. Difficult, mentally demanding jobs are also stressful jobs. So somewhere along the line you have to balance out the stress aspect and the challenge aspect of a good job.

Your job should keep you mentally sharp without making you physically sick. I certainly don’t think that’s too much to ask.
