It\u2019s the day of the Super Bowl, and one of my friends is arguing with his wife. Every time that he loses his hat, drops his wallet, forgets something important, there\u2019s friction in his life.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There\u2019s nothing wrong with forgetting things –<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But there ARE steps we can take to improve our memory and our relationship with it. Some of them are habits, some of them are actions, some of them are exercises, but they\u2019re all things that you can do.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Like I said, it’s normal to forget things – but did you know that mindfulness can be the missing ingredient in creating a strong memory? \ud83e\udd14<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When you don’t pay directed attention to something, you\u2019re more likely to forget it. This is why we lose stuff like keys or cards – because we touch them briefly and don’t attach a specific memory to them.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

So, start practicing mindfulness as a habit. Be conscious of your surroundings and what is happening around you. You\u2019ll lose your shit less and less often. \ud83e\uddd8\u200d\u2640\ufe0f<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

As far as exercises go that you can do now – stress can have a really negative impact on our memory.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Chronic stress can lead to the release of cortisol and other hormones that can have a physical impact on our memory.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When someone uses the concept of \u201ctrauma\u201d, we\u2019re not just talking about emotional pain. It\u2019s also the chemical impact it has on our memory. Trauma can create false memories, make us forget details, and have long-term consequences on the mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Now odds are good that I\u2019m not going to convince you to \u201chave less stress\u201d via a post, but – what are some things you can do to improve your situation right now?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Here\u2019s something that I learned got from a YouTube channel, and it\u2019s an exercise that you can try now:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Find a comfortable place and have a seat (you might already be on your way with this one).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
