Do you ever feel extra forgetful? Stress could be the culprit. In a fascinating talk about how your memory works, neuropsychologist Nicole Byers shares the science behind how stress drains your brain’s resources, making it harder to remember things and easier to make mistakes. But fear not: she also shares a simple solution to recharge your brain and get your memory back on track.

So if i forget my pin number at self-checkout or at the cashier lane, i should forget about holding up the lines behind me and pull out my phone to surf the web till I remember it. Brilliant 👎

Or, keep everyone held up because you just can’t remember. So, maybe have to just leave the groceries. Because if you can’t remember it, you can’t pay for them.

Stress is good for us to function better in life; cos it helps us to stay on track and achieve our goals. But over-stress or overwhelm with stress will slowly affect our mental health and lead to more health issues.

Some people don’t even realize how much stress they are living with until they hear themselves reflected in the list. You have to realize it first. Maybe just the act of realizing is what makes it worth the watch.

Things like fish oil and creatine on the daily can help improve brain function and short term memory but need to be cleared with a doctor first. Lions mane mushroom in a 300mg dose or equivalent whole mushroom has also been known to help with things like brain function and memory when taken or consumed daily for 6 months +.

Meditate! Yes, yes, yes. I have been a part of a wonderful meditation course twice. It helped so much. Of course I haven’t in all these years. That will be of amazing help to go back to. I got my hearing aids programmed yesterday. There’s a program for tinnitus where I can hear (I chose to) hear waves crashing into the beach, through my hearing aids. Turn to lowest, it’s masks tinnitus. Turn it up loud, we’ll, I’m at the beach! Going to use this too.

Learnings – when u r thinking about a specific thing & u can’t remember after trying hard then relax and focus on something else. When you shift your attention then you remember that specific thing automatically.
Gratitude for the learning 🙏

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:04 🧠 *Memory Capacity and Accessibility*
– Our brains can store vast amounts of information, but not all of it is easily accessible.
– Different memory systems have limits, impacting memory efficiency.
– Factors in daily life, such as stress, can affect how easily we can recall information.
01:34 🔄 *Types of Memory and Interference*
– Different types of memory exist, some automatic, while others require more effort.
– Memories that require more brainpower are prone to interference.
– Short-term memory, used for tasks like grocery lists, is susceptible to distractions and can hold limited information.
03:07 🧑💼 *Cognitive Challenges in Modern Life*
– Living in a distracting modern world affects memory retention.
– Multitasking and dealing with distractions consume mental energy.
– Juggling numerous tasks can lead to memory errors and impact overall cognitive performance.
04:06 🤯 *Impact of Stress on Memory*
– Stress, even from day-to-day activities, can drain cognitive resources.
– Mental multitasking under stress can lead to forgetfulness and memory errors.
– Stress not only affects memory retrieval but also impairs problem-solving and creativity.
05:41 🌐 *Larger Stresses and Memory*
– Bigger stresses, like the challenges of a multi-year pandemic, financial pressure, and family stress, also impact memory.
– Memory errors are normal, especially when tired, overworked, or stressed.
– Understanding the impact of stress on memory is crucial in managing cognitive function.
06:43 ⚙️ *Strategies to Boost Memory*
– Thinking harder about a specific memory may not be effective due to competitive inhibition.
– Taking a mental break and redirecting focus can help reset the brain.
– Micro breaks during work can refresh mental resources and improve overall cognitive function.

Stress is forgetting a password , entering it in 3 times incorrectly.. blocking your account … go through resetting password steps… enter in new password… “sorry , you can not use a previously used password”

I’m 67, and now I realize I’m not losing it. I’m being normal. 38 years of nursing, 20 in critical care. Because I did, on a regular floor I was ALWAYS given the sickest patients. There are NO mistakes, MUST quickly process and rapidly problem solve, be part of end of life, codes, what’s going on with each patient because a doc is going to be asking,teaching newer nurses, and the stress of being responsible for someone’s actual LIFE. So much more. No wonder my brain is done. 2years of Covid, I live alone. Not good. Then the second worst year of my entire life. I can see it all now. I can make a plan to recover. There are things I can do to help in different memory situations. So glad I took the time to watch this. It’s saved to watch again.

You actually make me feel relaxed. I had a seizure over forty years ago that did me some real damage but although the damage is still there and memory isn’t as good as it could be, it has gradually improved over the years. It’s really annoying though when constantly asked on PCs passwords or codes. I could pull out my hair at times. There should be a better way, especially when we get old.

No kidding. I think tech outpaced us for sure and now we got a big mess that can’t be undone.
On a side note I heard that if your angry then your short term and long term judgement skills and memory and ability to contrast consequences for your actions pretty much go out the window and if your really tired your will power will be at an all time low if your on a diet.
