Work Smart Live Smart with Beverly Beuermann-King

Listen to today's podcast...

Ever been standing there, looking at someone directly in their eyes, knowing that you have a history together and for the life of you, you can’t remember their name?

Ever walked into a room and not remembered why you were heading there?

I hate forgetting things. I get annoyed when others seem to be able to remember the smallest details and I can’t even remember being there. Sometimes I think I have early Alzheimer’s.

Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!

So Here are today’s Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating I Forgot Day:

I tend to believe that much of our ‘forgetting’ is based on interference theory. Interference occurs when the learning of something new causes the forgetting of older material on the basis of competition between the two. Simply…we often have way too much on our mind.

Stress Affects Our Memory

There is competition for our attention and competition in juggling far too many things at once. We are stressed out and this interferes with what and how we store these things.

So, slow down and try to live more in the moment. Go from multi-tasking to single tasking and see if these stress reducers are memory boosters

Try boosting your memory with foods rich in Omega-3 such as seafood, nuts and seeds.

And if you are really concerned that you are forgetting more than you should, go and see your doctor. It may not be Alzheimer’s, but it could be the result of a number of different health issues including depression.
