Remembering tips

Information

Here are tips to help you remember things:

• Make associations with the things you are trying to remember—even if the associations are silly.
  
• Repeat to yourself what it is you want to remember later.
  
• Make lists either on paper or in your head.
  
• Think of faces when trying to remember names.
  
• Read a lot if you have trouble with vocabulary. Keep a dictionary close by.
  
• Avoid becoming stressed or anxious if you can’t remember something at first.
  
• Keep your mind stimulated with activities, especially as you get older. (This helps keep the nerve cells in the brain active).
  
• Minimize your consumption of alcohol and use of medications that could aggravate your ability to remember.
  
• If you are no longer able to perform daily activities efficiently or if you are uncomfortable by yourself—see your health care provider.
