Being Forgetful

Lately I’m having so much trouble by being an absent minded mommy. Sometimes, at the kitchen initially at the sink, I thought of taking out the fish from the freezer, when I reach the fridge ... I’m lost, I mean I just cannot remember what do I want to do, end up I bring out other things from the fridge.

I guess, being a mom... we always multitasking and happen to have so many to-do lists squirming in our mind that makes us forget few other details. I should not start the list here because if you are a mom like me, than you should know better.

I did a few reading and this is what I’ve found, I hope this info can help us mommies who’s facing the same problem as me.

Tips to strengthen the memory:
1-Enough sleep to rest our mind and body
2-Control the stress (Al-quran recitel, meditation, spa or aromatheraphy)
3-Be extra careful if you are taking any multivitamin or supplement (careful for side effect to our memory)
4-Exercise
5-Learn something new (learn new language, learn to sew)
6-Read a lot (this can train sharpen our memory) - blogging, blogwalking->such a fruitfull hobby
7-Say repeatedly (if you want to remember something,ie:a a date, say it repeatedly and out loud until you can memorize it)
8-Focus (focus on one thing that you want to do)
9-play with numbers (train your mind spontaneously, ie: do mind calculation,count how many iron grills rod at the door or count how many tiles are there on your living room floor)
10-Keep a calendar or organizer so that you could jot down details whenever you were thinking about it in case you’ll forgot about it later on
11-If you are a muslim, recite Al Quran more, because not only it could calm the soul it also could sharpened the mind.

**Try to practice this breathing exercise to increase Oxygen in our blood, inhale (with 7 counts) and exhale (with 14 counts). Repeat especially when you are feeling tired. try it, its great!

***oxygen is so important and that’s why we cannot cover our face when we are sleeping because the Carbon Dioxide that we exhale would accumulate, hence ruining our brain cells.

****I'm making my own conclusion, maybe I'm not being forgetful because of hormonal changes or what so ever, maybe its because i'm not being focus.. Too many multithinking and multitasking. So, I'll focus and practice more on my own tips.
