Visuospatial abilities are related to the ability to make quick and accurate estimates of distances, areas, and volumes; that is the general proportions of things and their distribution in space.

Try the following:
Close your eyes and visualize your body the way it looks now. Review each bodypart from head to to and front to back. Now recreate your body the way you would like it to look in the same manner in the same review process. Do this as often as convenient. This is a popular exercise of top performers.

When you walk into a room try to estimate the size of the room and the distance other things in the room are in relationship to you and each other.

After visiting somewhere try drawing a diagram of the place you have visited. You can use either an outdoor area or an interior space.

My Thoughts: I used to have a lazy attitude towards mental fitness. After getting out of college, I actually avoided reading or any mental "work" unless it was actually necessary and instead operated in a perpetual "vacation" mode. Now I realize the importance of daily mental stimulation and embrace it.
