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.”

Excellence is Self-Explanatory

Welcome Back! We usually find ourselves giving justifications or explanations about something every other day. Don't we? For Example: You wanted to wake up at 6:00 AM. But instead, you wake up at 6:10 AM. Your goal was to make 40 lakhs but you made only 39. You appointment was at 4:00 PM but you turned up at 4:15 PM. You got 4 marks less than your target in an examination. In all these cases, there is a similarity - You fall short of your targets. 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 a...

Forming Good Habits

Welcome Back! In this post, I will be talking about the art of forming good habits. Certain stimuli can trigger habitual behaviour. Once you understand that, you can use this knowledge to change your habits. Encourage better habits by changing your environment. Make your cues as obvious as possible. You will be more likely to respond to them. If you want to eat healthier, start by putting healthy snack on the table instead of putting them into the closet. Use intentions that are implementable. Don’t be like, “I will eat better”. Instead, create a proper plan of action and set out when and where you will cultivate your habits. Build temptations. Start with the end goal in your mind and what you will get from it. Humans are always motivated by the anticipation of the reward. Our brain not only releases dopamine (the feel-good hormone) when we do things that we love, but also when we anticipate them. Making habits attractive will make you stick to them. Link the habit with a behaviour tha...

Ego never accepts the truth

Welcome Back! Everyone goes through this phase of life where the ego drives one to do anything and everything only to get noticed and recognised . It is a phase when good is good only when it gains attention; even bad is good if it can draw attention . Also, good is bad when it fails to gain attention. Ego survives on gaining attention. However, one must outgrow that phase of life. Ego needs feeding ; and hence it is regarded as a beggar . The problem with ego is that when ego is fed , you struggle with the superiority complex , and when ego is starved, you suffer with the inferiority complex . It destroys your peace of mind. People have lost many precious relationships while trying to satisfy their ego. They should have sacrificed their ego, but they didn’t. Remember, Ego is never worth the losses. People have also lost many golden opportunities while they were servicing their ego. They should have done the other way, but they could not. Ego destroys your freedom of choice. There i...
