Our memory operates through our motivation and attention. Neurons fire and create patterns and networks based on how we use our brains. Our thoughts, intentions, and actions directly shape the foundation of our mind.
The building blocks can expand through neuroplasticity and training our minds. We have our working memory, which is about 17-30 seconds when we are paying attention, storing our memory in the short term, driven by the frontal cortex and our attention. Long-term memory is information stored like our autobiographical memories, and that’s information from minutes, days, hours, and our lifetime.
To increase our memory and our brain function, we need to work out our brains and develop strong neural patterns.
We need to exercise our brains to improve our memory! Here are some ways to do that:
1. Meditation: A routine meditation practice calms the mind, reduces stress, improves memory, cognitive, and concentration, and elevates mood. By meditating, we are less stressed, so we are more able to focus and learn new things. A recent study found that meditating for 13 minutes a day has all these benefits.
Meditation helps with anxiety, stress, and worry and decreases the symptoms of depression. Also, people who meditate often find they feel more connected and have more attuned communication, which builds their collective memory. Meditation increases our overall well-being and longevity.
2. Exercising: Exercise is key for us to clear stuck energies, remove toxins, and improve our memory, focus, motor coordination, and stamina. Specifically, doing 20 minutes a day of cardio is beneficial for your body, and as you are exercising, you release endorphins, which boost your mood and increase happiness.
3. Learning something new: Learning new skills is a great way to engage the brain and improve memory. Studies show that learning new skills—specifically quilting or photography—improves memory, focus, and attention span.
4. Sleep: Is essential for consolidating and improving memory. Research shows that adults on average need 7-9 hours of sleep a day. Sleep boosts memory recall, reduces mental fatigue, and regulates metabolism. Sleep may be an important part of your brain exercise!
