The 7 natural ways to boost memory power are the subject of my blog today.
The day is half over, and you can’t get over the feeling that you’ve forgotten something important. You check your calendar, but whatever it is, it was never written. Now you’re stuck, and you can’t remember what it was.
There’s nothing more frustrating than forgetting. The fact is, we get so busy that it’s very hard to keep track of everything you need to get through a day.
Or is it?
Thankfully, there are natural things we can do to improve our memory. And we don’t have to wait to get started. Below, you’ll find several suggestions to help you boost your memory right now!
1. Meditate. All day long you’re trying to absorb information. Is it any wonder your brain gets to where it can’t hold in another fact? Meditation gives you time to process and recharge. Also, meditation improves your focus, so when it’s time to go back to work, you’re ready for it.
2. Eat better. Some things we eat are called brain foods. Anything with antioxidants will improve brain function, which in turns makes for a better memory!
3. Get up and move. Exercise increases blood flow. Better blood flow carries more of what your brain needs to function (such as oxygen and nutrients). So movement = better memory!
4. Try a brain teaser. Regularly challenging your brain is good for it! By doing things such as crossword puzzles or Sudoku, you build better networks for the neural pathways. There are tons of apps out there filled with all kinds of mental challenges designed to enhance your memory. So, why not play a game that gives a real positive boost to your brainpower?
5. Take a break. Brains need rest periods too. If you’re finding that you’re losing focus while working, it’s probably time to take a short break. That gives your brain a chance to process and re-energize.
6. Learn something new. By learning new things, you train your brain to process information better, and so you will start remembering more. Picking up a new skill will cause you helping your memory as well!
7. Sleep. It’s a fact of life that a tired brain will not be working at its very best. Getting enough sleep is probably the simplest thing you can do to improve your memory. By getting 7 to 9 hours of sleep every night, you’ll find your memory will improve dramatically.
Improving your memory doesn’t have to take a lot of time or even forced attention. By using this list, you’ll find that your memory will improve dramatically in just a short time, all without having to resort to great big crazy changes in your life. How easy is that?
