Tips for Overcoming Forgetfulness

-Accept it as a normal human trait, but it must be combated. -Remind the person concerned about promises/what has been said/rules that have been broken. -Take medication/supplements (apologies, I will not mention specific brand names). -Introspect whether we are defying parental commands, or hurting the feelings and thoughts of others. -Realize that forgetfulness indicates a tired brain. -Write it down in an agenda, calendar, phone reminder, or any other available medium (this is quite effective). -Strive to write/speak with positive affirmations, because saying 'I forgot' will enter the subconscious and lead to more forgetfulness. -Practice with the help of others, starting with small things, such as placing a book. -Accept criticism and suggestions or be open, because at its core, forgetfulness requires reminders from others, both familiar and unfamiliar. -Understand that everyone has limitations, with empathy/by putting yourself in someone else's shoes. This is important, because if left unchecked, it can lead to a mental disability, namely Alzheimer's. Keep sharpening your brain (http://kartinicenter.com/aneka-tips/415-tips-awet-muda-2.html) Numerous data revealed over the past twenty years confirm that the brain continues to develop, growing new neurons and networks between them throughout life. As additional information, brain diseases often associated with aging can be mitigated by continuously stimulating the brain. Dr. Yakov Stern, Head of the Division of Cognitive Neuroscience at the Sergievsky Center, Columbia University, states that “Individuals who continuously stimulate their lives through education, work, and hobby-related activities will reduce their tendency to develop Alzheimer's. Research shows that the likelihood of developing Alzheimer's decreases by 35 to 40%.”
