Sleep and Memory
Research indicates that you can better remember the information you are reading if you will go to sleep right after learning it. But there are two limits:
1. The material that you intend to recall should be easy to understand, or you should already have a fair amount of knowledge or experience in the topic being discussed.
2. You must not be too tired or exhausted when reading the material. The next time you need to learn something, try this procedure and see if it works for you.
Reduce Stress
Medical researches show that people who are always anxious produce “stress hormones” like cortisol, which damages brain cells. Make it a point to do something that will relax you everyday. Try meditating, drinking tea, etc. whatever works for you. A very effective method to reduce stress is deep breathing and visualizing the expected outcome of any situation to turn out well. Don’t forget to get enough rest.
Improve Self-Esteem
Poor memory is often a result of poor self-image. After all, it all starts and
ends in the mind. So to have a healthy mind, believe that you can achieve
anything you desire. Boost your self-esteem and be confident in your abilities.
Your attitude should be supportive of your goals.
Emotions and Memory
Emotions and feelings play a very important role in the process of learning and memory retention. It is very important to have a good mood in perceiving, receiving, and retrieving emotional as well as mental information. Here is a valuable technique in mood conditioning that should definitely help you improve your mental capacities:
Mood Enhancing Technique:
Imagine a face of someone who has put you down in some ways in the past (e.g. a family member, a teacher, a friend, parent etc). After getting the picture of his or her face, say, “No matter what you say or do to me, I’m still a worthwhile person!” This would relieve you and put you into a positive consciousness in dealing with people or strangers.
