To Improve What? Oh Yes, Memory!

How many times have you had the exact word you needed on the tip of your tongue only to have it tease and evade your memory?  Who hasn’t written a list to remember and then forgotten the list!

Or perhaps you asked someone to help you remember and they forgot.  Maybe you hid something from yourself in a special place you were sure to recall and spent weeks searching for the item because you forgot where you hid it.

How many Easter eggs have been hidden, only to rot several days later because the person who hid the eggs forgot where they put them?  What about that person you spent weeks secretly adoring, finally got the perfect chance to make their acquaintance, and then suffered a mental freeze?

Was a bill paid late because you forgot to make a note on your calendar, notes you try to remember to transfer from each month previous?  Did you forget someone’s birthday, someone like your child or parent or, Heaven forbid, your spouse?

Did you forget to feed your dog, and then get angry because he’s persistently trying to get your attention while you’re busy with an important call?  Was that you who were asked by your loving wife or husband to bring a drink on a hot day of yard work, while your loved one tolls away with their chores as you relax in the air conditioning?

Oops!  Sorry, honey.  By the way, that silly doctor’s office called, you missed your appointment you were adamant they squeeze into their busy schedule.  Oh, dear, was that today?

Sometimes it seems that no matter what we do to try to jog our memories, they betray us at the worst possible moments.  Children are forgotten at school, standing in the car pick-up line.  The groceries are left to ruin in the back seat of the car because the phone rang just as you opened the front door.

A bag is left at the store holding something you bought that shows on your receipt, but got lost because of the many bags you had to maneuver into the buggy while holding the crying baby.  A cup is balanced on top of a vehicle, only to topple off as the driver pulls away.

Every day people somewhere complain about memory loss, mostly temporary and short-term memory loss.  Many times it is simply a result of preoccupation and jammed, hectic schedules.  Sometimes it is from lack of sleep due to illness of one’s self or one’s child, or a night spent in a hospital by a loved one’s side.

Proper rest and relaxation are important for normal mental function.  Harried families often neglect to even allow themselves relief on a vacation, often times returning more tired and mentally stressed than before their trip.  Yet, the solution can be so simple as to be overlooked.  What is the answer?

Take care of yourself.  Learn how much is too much and start saying no, whether to yourself or to someone needing just a tiny little favor that throws your whole schedule out of whack when you are already stressed enough.

Various Ways To Improve Memory – Part 2

Filed under: Uncategorized — jiroubao @ 10:53 am

Following are the various ways to improve memory:

One should exercise regularly to keep the mind and body active and attentive. As they say healthy body houses healthy brain. One can also improve memory by keeping the brain active by actively participating in brainteasers and games.

One such easy and good game is “Memory” that can be played with a pack of playing cards. The best part about this game is that it can be played alone and with as many as four people. All one has to do is to spread the card evenly on a surface and lift and match the characters.

If the characters do not match place the card back to where it was picked up from and wait until after a few chances a match is available and remember where the previous character was laid in the entire bunch of cards.

The one who matches more cards wins. Or if you like to play with words try playing scrabble another word game that can challenge your memory and will shake up your vocabulary treasure trove.

These games help improve memory and physiological functioning. Learning new skills also helps the motor capacity of brain by challenging it. Joining a language school to learn a new language can be quite helpful other than this learning to play new instruments can also be more involving and mentally stressing.

Taking the help of technology is also not a bad idea. As more and more computer games are developed one can try to play games that is refreshing and challenging. The coordination it develops between the mind and hand is also great for motor development.

Exercise and Yoga helps to keep mind fresh by helping its concentration power to develop thru meditation. It helps our body in two days, first by relaxing our body and second by developing our alert system. The better circulation of blood helps to bring tandem to our brain thereby improving its efficiency.

Relaxation is equally an important element of physical well being for body and brain. As stress causes remembering to become difficult and lose focus. Serious stress related problems calls for a physical examination by a doctor as it can lead to other problem such as insomnia that detoriates mental health and makes memorizing miserable.

Our busy schedule barely allows us to keep sync with our body and brain and leads to serious illness leading to destabilize our memory functions. If our brain is involved in various things the same time it can barely concentrate on one thing and makes for a terrible memory. So in order to improve memory we first need to alter our lifestyle and indulge in good health practices such as regular exercising and healthy eating.

What Can I Do for Memory Improvement?

There are several outside forces that can affect one’s memory.  As has been found in many other areas, diet is one link to impairing memory.  Another well-known affecter of our memory is lack of physical exercise.

Of course, there are foreign substances we put into our unsuspecting bodies, such as drugs or alcohol, even prescription drugs can have a negative effect.  Injuries or traumatic events can affect memories, as can diseases.  Inadequate mental and indeed even spiritual stimulation has long been known to damage our minds, bodies and emotions.

Let’s explore the life stressors in connection with memory impairment.  If you have a life that is in turmoil on a daily basis, unorganized and over packed with activities, never allowing yourself adequate care, your memory is certain to develop some degree of suffering.

It is surely something that will require some thought and time to repair.  You must first take stock of your priorities.  How well do you care for your mind and body?  Maybe you think a quick rush to the gym will do the trick.  The key here is ‘rush’.

Rushing around is one area where we cause our mental health to suffer.  Long-term turmoil is not our friend, and rushing is something that can become an unwelcome habit.  Some people who crave a smoother, more relaxing routine have to actually be taught how to achieve it because they have become so accustomed to rushing through their day.

There may be more than one area you’ll have to change in your life to obtain memory improvement.  One important step to healthy memory function is to get more oxygen to your brain.  Proper blood flow and plenty of oxygen are two factors that must not be overlooked.

You can achieve these by learning breathing exercises.  This can help clear your mind, give it a boost, and relieve stress.  Even if it is only temporary, it is still an important step in beginning your journey to memory improvement.

Another important step to improvement is eating properly.  A well-rounded diet can benefit in many ways, and often the benefits to memory function are overlooked.  The diet can affect the physical health, obviously.  But if you aren’t in good physical health, how can you also be in the best health mentally?  The mind depends on the body to work at its best for the mind to work well.

What about the living environment?  Can a dirty home affect your memory?  Maybe it sounds absurd, but yes, it can.  If your senses are constantly subjected to anything negative, it will begin to affect your brain health.  A clean home doesn’t just look better, it can increase your happiness and sense of peace, which will in turn calm you and allow your mind and memory to focus on more productive thoughts.

Not only does the sight of your clean home allow improvement in your life, the smell of a clean home can be uplifting as well.  So, bring out those candles or potpourri, room sprays, and cleaning supplies!
