Memory Excercises For A Busy Mind

1) Look After Your Body...

Your body and mind are not separately functioning, both work together to fuel the things you do, so it’s important that we look after our bodies, in order to look after our minds because this will ensure that both can work at their best abilities thus helping us also to work to the best of our abilities.

Exercise…

Exercise demands attention and focus on the part of the exerciser and this demand of attention and focus, stimulates the circulation of blood to the brain making it’s mental awareness sharper and more able to focus on the tasks at hand.

The most useful tool a hard working person can have is the ability to make the most out of their time and if you’re more able to focus, chances are you’ll be much more efficient in the work that you complete. A simple run before work, or a quick paced walk on your lunch break could stimulate the release of essential brain chemicals that will help you begin or continue in the day refreshed, as the best person you can be.

Eat Well…

Foods that are rich is Omega-3 promotes brain health, in the same way that foods rich in saturated fats impair the memory. So be conscious of the things you put into your body, in order to consciously improve what energies you put out.

Drinking water is also a good way to protect and fuel your mind, because it keeps the mind’s electro chemical system functioning to the best of its ability. Ensuring your ideas are strong and your creative energies at their most flexible.

Sleep Well…

Sleep deprivation prevents the brain from operating at its best, and reduced its ability to solve problems and create ideas significantly. Psychologists argue that we should sleep from six to nine hours everyday to get the most out of our brains… but being the active people that we are sometimes this isn’t possible.

So I’d recommend perhaps having a more quality sleep, than quantity of sleep by researching the ways in which you can make the most out of the hours that you are both asleep and awake and forming a regular sleeping pattern.
