HOW MEMORY CAN BE HELPED?
What to do if you think that your memory is not as it was, or you don’t feel confident to trust your cognition ?
I can only suggest the following to help you and make you feel more confident or at least that you’ve done your best:
- Stay calm and never panic.
- Think carefully, and check your circumstances.
- Search in your life, house hold, work environment, circle of friends about any possible causes for stress or anxiety for you.
- Make sure that you do sleep well and enough at night. Remember always that good sleep means quality but not quantity.
- If all your circumstances are fine to the best of your knowledge, but you are not happy with your memory or intelligence, then contact your doctor for advise.
- Always remember that many causes for memory problems can be treated if they were found. Your doctor will sort that out for you.
- Always remember about prevention(blood pressure, cholesterol, diet imbalances, stress, anxiety, lack of exercises, and obesity).
- Always remember about harm habits: smoking, alcohol, recreational drugs, your own medications including sleeping tablets.
- Always remember to train your brain. Yes, train your brain, and keep motivated. Never give up, and always remain hopeful. Please remember that there is always tomorrow, and that tomorrow will be better than today. If tomorrow is not better, the the following day will be better.
- Please remember that, interaction with your friends and work or class mates is the best exercise for your brain, and the best stimulant for your memory and intelligence. This is proven to be superior than you and your hand held machines(mobile, iPad, PC, or book).
- Please welcome challenges, learn how to put targets and achieve them. Please make a habit of rewarding yourself when you achieve a new target. Please make your targets achievable.
- Change of life style is paramount. Breaks, holidays, excursions, picnics, camping, celebrating every occasion in your life such as birthdays, anniversaries, etc. Music is so relaxing, and comforting, as well as mood soothing. Chose your music, and avoid monotony when possible.
I wish you very good luck, and please remember, whenever you try you will achieve.
