How Stress Affects Memory

Memory Enhancement Technique for Your Brain

If you were to estimate, how much of your day does your brain spend in a state of urgency as opposed to curiosity?

For many individuals, their days are filled with a constant sense of urgency.

  • The pressure to excel.

  • The imperative need to complete tasks.

  • Apprehension about what lies ahead.

However, here's the crucial insight:

That perpetual urgency may be impacting your memory.

A recent study conducted at Duke University, where participants were primed to experience either urgency or curiosity before playing a video game, unveiled an intriguing discovery.

...It was revealed that individuals in a curious state of mind exhibited better memory retention the following day compared to those trapped in an urgent state of mind.

This is truly remarkable because it implies that we possess the capacity to reshape our mindset!

Imagine, the next time you sit down (or step into a task), you first dedicate a few minutes to...

  1. Inhale deeply.

  2. Set a positive intention.

  3. Allow your curiosity to flourish.

Will you give it a shot?
