5 everyday opportunities to focus your mind & memory
Do you prefer taking the short-cut or the long route when it comes to memory?
We have loads of external resources these days that save us from using our own memory -
Google, written records and photographs for example.
We also have our own amazing personal resource that is of course, our brain!
It’s understandable we might naturally go to what feels like the quickest and easiest option - straight to Google to double check that fact say.
Our brain wants us to take the option with the least effort and energy required.
And sure, a short-cut is needed sometimes!
HOWEVER,
taking what might instead feel like the ‘long route’ to use our own amazing brain, can become the ultimate short-cut in the long term.
How much stronger, quicker and more effective could your brain become in the long term if you start using it more NOW?
So here are 5 everyday opportunities to focus our mind and memory:
1. Cooking with a recipe -
Do you really need to keep checking the recipe or can you check it just once or twice?
2. Recalling a particular word, name or fact -
Do you really need to google it or can you give yourself some time to recall it?
3. Driving/navigating somewhere -
Do you really need to use google maps or can you take a moment to think it through?
4. Receiving instructions or information -
Do you really need to write it down or can you pay full attention and lock it in your head?
5. While grocery shopping -
Do you really need a shopping list or can you use your own memory?
It’s all about the little things in the day, adding up to something bigger.
Make a start. Be kind to yourself. Keep giving it a go. And have fun with it.
