Muddled Thinking ?Faulty Memory ?
Try this surprising solution:Grab a pen , and put down your thoughts and feelings about a difficult experience from your past, suggest researchers Kitty Klein , and Adrien boals from North carolina State University in Raleigh.
The researchers asked 35 undergraduates to write about an unpleasant , highly emotional experience while another 36 students wrote about something dull.Afterward , the first group scored consistently higher than the second on tests of working memory - the brainpower we use for everything from calculating the grocery bill to finding the car keys.
Why it works :We all tend to avoid thinking about painful experiences , and that mental effort , even when mostly unconscious , ties up our working memory.
This writing exercise can help you free up more of your brainpower.
Delve Deeply:Write about your deepest emotions and thought.
Prepare for an emotional reaction:You may feel down for a few days afterwards.
Expect immediate and longterm results :The researchers saw improvement up to 4 months after the initial experiment.
interesting.... =)
