Yesterday I told you how laughter can boost your memory abilities. Today my tip for improving your memory is: try to avoid stress. I hope you have read and heard a lot about tremendous damage that stress does to your brains. It really does. In the long run, it starts destroying your brain cells and makes a huge damage to some part of the brains that is responsible for creation of new memories and keeping the old ones in check. I hope you can see why so many old people lose their memories. They have had so much stress in their lives that had destroyed a lot of their brain cells and did an awful damage to their memories.
If you are prone to irritation and nervous outbreaks you should start learning how to avoid that and how to keep stress in control. When temptation to get angry or nervous comes you could go out for a few minutes and start breathing deeply. You also could close somewhere for a few minutes and calm down your mind by stopping all mental processes and then meditating on something peaceful. Visualization could also help you to achieve that. Try to look at the far distance because it will help you to change your focus from problems to your dreams. Good luck in coping with your stress and safeguarding your memory.
