3 Great Tips on How to Improve Memory for the Long Run By Gregory Frost

Mind stimulation is one of the best ways that you can improve your memory in the long run, and this is something you need to do on a daily basis. One of the main reasons why people do suffer from long term memory loss is because they allow themselves to be imprisoned by their mundane and sometimes monotonous life. This can sometimes be because of the sort of jobs they are holding, or even because of their very own lifestyle.

The culture that they are exposed to at home and at work is very important because it can lead them to become someone who is prone to memory loss. Once the mind finds no stimulation at all, then there is a problem, and to overcome and improve memory, you need to have some sort of mental stimulation. This can be in the simplest form of a crossword puzzle or even something as unconventional as a video game.

The second tip, and one of the best ways that science has proven to aid in long term memory loss is learning a new language. Learning a new language is not just a mental activity that stimulates the memory, it forces it to be in a state where it has to remember all the time, because you are learning a new language. If your brain has been stuck in a state of mental complacency and forgetfulness for a long time, then learning a new skill like a new language will mould it into a shape and stimulate the correct neurons to be able for it to remember much better.

Once you are in the habit of remembering things to learn and things to remember, this will be applied to everything else in your life. This has been proven in neuropsychological tests all over the world and is becoming part of mental therapy to help people with serious memory loss. It can also be the solution that aids you from getting permanent memory loss, especially in your old age.

Last but not least, one of the best ways for you to do so is to take brain food. One of the neuro-scientific causes that has been proven to contribute to memory loss is the death of brain cells in the brain, more specifically, within the billions of neurons in the cortex. Brain food, supplementation and the correct vitamins will stave this off and you need to start early, because science has proven that the death of the brain cells can start as early as the high 20’s and the early 30’s. Vitamin B and the complex B vitamins have been found particularly good with staving off memory retardation.

So, these are some of the ways on how to improve memory in the long run, and you need to be able to know how to do this. There are some great guide books out there with specific methodologies and advice, within these categories on how you can improve your memory for life. Why lose all the precious memories of your life? Start taking the necessary measures to improve your memory for the long run today.

Causes of Procrastination - How to Stop it Today By Kai Ferra

Everything that we do in life starts with something small. Although all processes have difficult parts and methods that we need to endure and to take responsibility for, in the end, we would still be the one to benefit from the end results. Out of the many challenges that come our way, procrastination is one of the most common. With just a single decision to procrastinate, a person can cause countless delays for different people and at different times. Although procrastination can cause dramatic results, sadly not everyone can immediately realize when they have already fallen victim to this mentality. In order to help you out, here are a few of the main causes of procrastination that you must watch out for:

1.You don’t enjoy what you do.

People are most effective when doing something they are passionate about. Doing something that you don’t believe in, moreover something that you do not enjoy is simply one of the main causes of procrastination. Due to societal issues surrounding unemployment and finances, people jump into random jobs that will hopefully help them earn money for a living. Unfortunately, since the job title does not have anything to do with what they dream of becoming in life, they tend to slow down and to lose interest in performing well at work. Not being able to enjoy what you do results into slowdowns and unsatisfactory results. Psyching yourself to work harder and in a faster pace is more effective when done with something that you love to do.

2.You’re not good at what you do.

It’s almost an essential procedure in every blue book for you to believe that you are the best in what you do. Telling yourself or actualizing that you are not delivering the best performance in your work will eventually lead you to procrastinate. Belief is one of the strongest determining factors that lead people to work at their full potential and at the most effective way possible. One of the causes of procrastination is the belief that you are not good in what you do. Instead of telling yourself what you cannot do, why don’t you start training yourself to do better in things that you are weak at? Seeing failures as missed opportunities can help drive you to work harder and to prevent procrastination.

3.You’re not supposed to do it.

We all get tired from work. At times, we regrettably have to face the fact that there may be things that we would be asked to do even if we are not the right person to do it. Each person keeps their own body clocks and schedules, which is why unwanted tasks tend to irk us especially when they’re given at the last minute. Overtimes, for instance, is one the main venues for procrastination. You feel restless from too much work and since you’re not supposed to do the task, you eventually decide not to deliver your outputs at the required deadline. We all have to bear in mind that each occupation requires flexibility and a few adjustments once in a while.

How to Stop Procrastination Today By Kai Ferra

Procrastination robs us of all the precious time in the world. When we were young, it seems that there were a lot more time to be carefree and to think less of what was in store for the day. However, as we become older, our responsibilities become bigger and more important, making us want to procrastinate even more. It can’t also be helped that a lot of people would still want a few hours of the day for themselves without having to worry about what they need to do at work. This inevitable feeling is often the primary concern that plagues every individual day in and day out. In order to help you stop procrastination, here are a few tips that you can use for everyday:

Avoiding Distractions

One of the main reasons why a lot of people tend to procrastinate is due to having a non-conducive work environment. For instance, when you’re working at home and you have the television turned on, the tendency is for you to get distracted therefore generating delays in your output. Instead of concentrating on what you are doing, your eyes and ears fight hard to play handicapped to what’s on play. Having a room that is quiet and has all the main things you need to concentrate, will help you achieve work in lesser time and to avoid getting distracted. To stop procrastination, you must learn to keep your focus in everything that you do.

Stop Postponing

We just love postponing, simply because of the thought of a new tomorrow and a new day. But what about deadlines and the people who highly depend on the work you are supposed to submit? Instead of postponing things, try to finish them off earlier so as to give you more time to do the things you want to do for yourself. Postponing tasks also leads to rushed work that is highly flawed in quality and expectations. Making sure that you give yourself all the ample time to finish your task and without any postponements will help you deliver better results that can possibly gain you more time for leisure and fun.

Positivity Helps

Telling yourself that you are too tired or work is too difficult will eventually lead to procrastination. It is the most typical scenario in most workplaces. You’re tired and restless and you feel bored about what you are doing, so instead of concentrating on it, you decide to postpone deliveries. Now taking a few minutes of rest is fine, but completely forgetting your responsibilities is what drives people to become procrastinators. To stop procrastination, you must learn how to enjoy what you are doing. The more you have fun with whatever task is given to you, the easier it would be to finish all the assignments lined up for you for the day. Just stay positive and help yourself not to invite any ill feelings towards what you need to have done. Convincing yourself that work is easy and light will help drive your feet to finishing the tasks earlier or on time.

How to Live Up to Your Greatest Potential By Yvonne Skudder

Live up to your full potential. You have the power to change your habits to acquire new skills and fully use the skills you now have. You can improve your performance, your productivity, and the quality of your whole life.

What makes a high achiever? Is it luck, intelligence, talent, dedication? All of these things figure in - they all make a difference. But we all know intelligent, talented, hard-working people who do not consider themselves very successful or even happy. And we know people who are not exceptionally bright but seem happy and successful.

So there must be something else, some secret to success. Actually there are several secrets to achieving your peak performance - living up to your full potential.

Your success at business, friendship, love, sports - just about anything you try - is largely determined by your own self-image. Your unhappiness is something you choose. So, you're thinking no one chooses to be unhappy. Well, maybe not - but you have to consciously choose to be happy, self-confident, and successful.

Happiness is elusive when we go after it directly. So is self-confidence. Both seem to be more 'side-products' than something you can achieve in and for itself. So how, then, can consciously choosing to be these things be of any value? Well, the secret is to focus on other things.

First, focus on your potential. Begin by making a complete and accurate assessment of your potential. To do this you must take an inventory of yourself - you will make a few lists. Sit down and make a list of all the things you can do well. Be honest with yourself. When that list is done, make a list of all the things you like to do, even if you think you can't do them well. Then, make a list of all the things you would like to do, if you could. Now list your hobbies.

Then, go back to the list of things you can do well. You are probably being much too hard on yourself. Most of us are. We have this little voice in our heads telling us things like: 'You're so dumb,' or 'You can't learn to do that,' or 'You never do anything right,' or similar nasty things. And even worse, we listen to that voice as if it's telling us the gospel truth. So now, shut off that voice - you can do it - and add a few more things to the list of things you can do well. Pretend you are your best friend - it's amazing how much more forgiving and charitable we are with our friends than we are with ourselves. Now that you are your best friend, you should be able to add a few more items to your 'do well' list. But do be honest - don't list things you feel you really can't do well.

Next, go to your list of things you like to do but you feel you don't do well. Speaking as your own best friend, do you think there are some things on this list that could be moved to your 'do well' list? There probably are. If you like to do it, chances are you do pretty well at it. Treat your hobby list in the same manner.

Next, go to your list of things you would like to do if you could. Ask yourself, 'Why can't I do this, if I'd like to?' Put your reasons on another list. OK. So you have a lot of lists going - what good is that going to do? Well, you have just made an assessment of yourself. If you have been truly honest in making these lists, it may even be a fairly accurate assessment. Probably it isn't, but that's OK. This assessment isn't carved in stone. It's subject to change. But for now we will work with what's on the lists. At least you have a place to start.

Look over your lists again. You are focusing on all the things you feel you can't do and the reasons why you can't do them, right? Well, don't. FOCUS ON WHAT YOU CAN DO - FOCUS ON YOUR POTENTIAL. Make it a habit to focus on your strengths. Don't forget to include your undeveloped potential, as well. Train yourself to focus on your potential instead of your limitations.

Once you have trained yourself to focus on your potential your journey will become a lot easier. Don't think that this part of the journey is easy, but it will be worth your while staying with it. Be very patient with yourself, take small steps and reward yourself often for achievements.

If you become aware of your thinking you will grow your POTENTIAL and with that you develop a happiness you would never have dreamed of. You also develop self confidence and a self belief that will be a foundation for life.
