9 Smart Psychology Ways to Fight Forgetfulness

| Thread

If you feel that your emotions became numb and dull,

That you lost your emotional connection with something that usually brings you joy,

Then this thread is for you.

10 Psychology Backed Ways to Fight Absent-Mindedness:

1. Exercise
2. Don't rely on technology
3. Sleep
4. Soak Up Some Sun
5. Get the Help You Need
6. Be sociable
7. Make lists
8. Do one thing at a time
9. Play Games
10. Stop talking and start DOING

1. Exercise

Research suggests a strong link between regular exercise and brain health.

Working out not only boosts blood flow,

but can also reverse the reduction in brain size that naturally occurs as we age.

2. Don't rely on technology

There's research to show these technologies are changing the shape of our brains,

and the way they function.

I recommend people turn off their email alerts:

only check your inbox three or four times a day,

rather than being constantly distracted.

3. Sleep

Our brains need rest to process information and turn it into memory.

When we deprive ourselves of sleep so that we can get more things accomplished,

we are adding gasoline to the memory-loss fire.

4. Soak Up Some Sun

Time in the sun has been linked to the release of serotonin in the brain.

Serotonin is known to have a positive impact on:

- Person’s mood,
- The relaxation response, and
- The ability to focus.

So, start treating sunshine as a valuable commodity.

5. Get the Help You Need

Be intentional about getting in touch with close friends.

You might even consider a few counseling sessions,

until you feel you are back on solid ground.

6. Be sociable

Socialising is mentally promoting cognitive functions such as:

- Reasoning
- Intuition
- Thinking, and
- Feeling,

All of which help create a reserve of brain cells,

And encourage the formation of new connections in the brain.

7. Make lists

Sometimes when I have things flying around in my head that I need to accomplish,

I get overwhelmed, And then nothing gets done.

That’s why I immediately start making a list when I start feeling that way!

8. Do one thing at a time

When you do too many things at once,

none of them is done particularly well.

Do one thing at a time so you can make sure

That you complete everything you are doing.

9. Play Games

In addition to giving yourself a much-needed mental health break

Games tend to sharpen brain skills.

These include:

- Processing speed
- Decision making
- Response time
- Planning, and
- Strategizing.

Card games & board games can be fun and recharge your brain.

Conclusion:

Talking about it is great but it doesn’t count.

What does count is to start doing it!

This will all take a little bit of work but if you follow these tips,

You will eventually become much more organized.

Lastly, if you liked this thread,

and you’re serious about improving your lifestyle and mental model,

once and for all,

Read "MENTAL MODELS"

Mental models do not tell you what you think,
rather they teach you how to think,
and encourage you to think critically.

This book will help you a lot in fighting absent-mindedness
