Improving your Memory


Welcome Back!

In this post, I am going to discuss the 10 steps for improving your memory. 

  • Good Brain Food - What you eat is what that matters...especially to your brain. They improve your memory significantly. Examples of Brain Food are green and leafy vegetables,  berries, and walnuts.

  • Try to avoid negative thoughts and complaining. These generate a negative atmosphere. Try to give positive affirmations to yourself like: “I am the best” or “My memory is very sharp” or “I can recall things very easily”.

  • Exercise. Our mental health is heavily associated with our physical health. Taking this fact into consideration, we must exercise daily. It will increase our brain power by vast percentages.

  • Positive Peer Group - Based on mirror neurons, who you spend time with is who you become. Always keep in mind that a positive peer group is the group which guides you and challenges you at the same time.

  • Clean Environment - Having a clean environment around you is a must. Studies show that it can have a major impact on your mind. It also ensures that you are distraction free. You will be able to improve your focus and concentration.

  • You should have clear air, water, and space around you. These things help you in remaining calm.

  • Sleep - Dreaming is important for amazing ideas, and sleep is vital for the reduction of brain-damage due to age. Sleep is also important for the day-to-day functioning of your brain.

  • Brain Protection - Avoid putting gadgets under/near your pillow when you sleep. The harmful electro-magnetic waves from the gadgets harm your brain. Protect yourself from head related injuries. They can severely affect your brain and your thinking capacity. Always wear a helmet while riding a bicycle or a motorbike.

  • Learn new things - Neuroplasticity (Connections in your brain) can be instigated through learning new things. It also promotes curiosity.

  • Lastly, reduce your stress through yoga, meditation or massage

Remember: Never give up.

Thought of the Day:

“Everything is easy if you are crazy.
Nothing will be easy if you are lazy.”

'Today' is his ๐ŸŽ unto you

Welcome back ๐Ÿ˜€ ! Have you ever wondered why people like handmade gifts above all other gifts? The answer to this question is simple - You/They recognise the heart behind the gift and that makes the gift priceless . "A gift is not a material, but an outlook - to look out at the heart behind the material." -Mahatria Rฤ Even if the present is just a handmade flower or a greeting card, it would be one of the best gifts you would have ever got. Similarly , Education becomes a gift when you recognise the heart of the teachers who transfer their knowledge unto you . Your childhood becomes a gift when you recognise the heart of your parents in the upbringing. Friends become a gift when they stand by you not only in your good times but also in your tough times. Life becomes a gift when you realise its preciousness and its importance. In that sense, "Today" becomes an eternal gift . Always keep in mind that you may not live to see the "Tomorrow"

You may need to provide justification and explanations regarding your actions in these cases . Sometimes, you may even argue. Normally , you have a tendency to explain, justify, reason and rationalise what's not okay as okay.We try our best to prove that something is okay even if it is not . This presses the self-destruction button of your life. Time and again, this lack of excellence will hurt you very badly in your life and hamper your goals. You will fall short of your target. Ultimately , you will not be able to do what y
