| Why We’re Forgetful, Especially Now
Short temporary instances of forgetfulness are happening to more of us more often these days memory experts say. Living at a time of job and school disruption, Covid and a war has placed us under uncertainty and stress. Neuroscientist, Sara Mednick, likens our brains to computers and right now too many tabs are open which slows down our processing and memory is one of the areas affected.
Studies show that stress not only impairs memory but negatively affects our attention span and sleep which also impacts memory. Multitasking especially scrolling through our phones distracts our attention. And how many of us fail to recall the details of the past two years when the sameness of our days fail to provide the novelty that our memory craves.
(Did You Know? Memory ability peaks in your 20’s and starts to decline but the biggest drop starts around age 60.)
What can we do about this? What will help to improve our memories?
Don’t force it. Trying too hard to remember a name leads to frustration which makes it harder to recall.
Stop multitasking. Even the simplest of tasks like brushing your teeth should require your attention. And please, put your phone down.
Help your brain calm. Your frontal lobe is involved in memory and stress regulation. One suffers when the other is overwhelming. Dr. Mednick recommends daily meditation, yoga or just deep breathing for at least 10 minutes a day. Even a short walk, connecting with a loved one and intimacy reduce stress.
Be socially present. Give your full attention to people when you talk with them.
