Keep your mind sharp with these deceptively simple tips
“A simple method to help you remember information is to rephrase it. If it is a list of facts, try expressing them differently, even just by reversing the sentences in some way. So instead of ‘King John was born in 1166,’ you could reorder it as you read it to ‘In 1166, King John was born.’ Just this straightforward act helps stop you simply glossing over the information.”Be conscious of stress
“There are many ways in which stress can cause brain fog and memory loss. It increases inflammation, which can cause the brain not to work properly, and can increase anxiety and depression, both of which can reduce memory processing. So, take a moment to reflect on your stress levels. You should also keep an eye on your blood pressure. Blood pressure can be elevated for a number of reasons – high stress levels being one of them.
“It might sound counterproductive, but one of the best ways to boost your memory is to actually take a step back. With studies showing that practicing mindfulness can help to boost cognitive function, it’s important to slow down to switch on. Mindfulness and meditation can help to relax and soothe the body and mind, reduce stress and allows us to become more aware of ourselves, so that we can better manage our responses, regulate our emotions and experience life more fully.
“Human memory is highly sensitive to the emotional components of experiences, meaning we recall emotional events better than neutral ones. You can use this to your advantage by intentionally linking the facts or data you want to remember to personal emotional experiences. For example, if you’re trying to remember an historical date, associate it with a personal event that happened in the same year or period. The more vivid and personally meaningful the connection, the better.
