I’m 67, and now I realize I’m not losing it. I’m being normal. 38 years of nursing, 20 in critical care. Because I did, on a regular floor I was ALWAYS given the sickest patients. There are NO mistakes, MUST quickly process and rapidly problem solve, be part of end of life, codes, what’s going on with each patient because a doc is going to be asking,teaching newer nurses, and the stress of being responsible for someone’s actual LIFE. So much more. No wonder my brain is done. 2years of Covid, I live alone. Not good. Then the second worst year of my entire life. I can see it all now. I can make a plan to recover. There are things I can do to help in different memory situations. So glad I took the time to watch this. It’s saved to watch again.
@@Jsarmy87124 I understand that. I had 3 episodes of burn out before things came to a head on my last day. Enough was enough. I AM NOT DOING THIS ANYMORE. At the end, it was severe PTSD. I don’t know what you job and life is, but there are things you can do to help. I can’t make suggestions because I don’t know you or where you live. But wherever, whatever, I know there’s help.
Love your message, so hopeful to see that in spite of all your hardships, your take away was that there are things you can do to help! Inspirational! Living alone doesn’t mean that you can’t have a community that supports you. Sending you hugs and positive vibes❤️
Thank you for being a great nurse. I was a CNA for a few years. I remember telling the nurse that I had forgotten to do something, and she said, ' No, you can't do that.' Which felt insane at the time, but it's true. So many people depend on you. ❤
It was a wonderful concept, I often get stuck with my memory when I try to remember some important things and usually forget something I have done the things on the project Key takeaways : 1. Our memory can store approximately 2.5 million gigabytes of information 2. Memory storage is vast but all the information is not accessible at once. 3. Memory cells store our memory and when needed the information will be accessible by giving more memory power. 4. Sometimes, due to external forces like stress, fatigue, worry, distractions, and multitasking our memory cells get blocked from accessing the required information and it will be remembered later when the block clears. 5. When sometimes, our memory gets stuck for a particular piece of information that's due the the fact that our memory cells got blocked and exhausted and we are thinking hard and using all our brain powers for that particular thing. Instead of this, all we need to do is reset our memory by doing some other things like talking about something different, walking around the office for a few minutes as fun, and scrolling through social media for a few seconds. In this way, we are activating other parts of memory cells and this gives the required time to remember the particular things
Learnings - when u r thinking about a specific thing & u can't remember after trying hard then relax and focus on something else. When you shift your attention then you remember that specific thing automatically. Gratitude for the learning 🙏

World is getting more distracting by the day 😥I got my Ad popup already at 3:06 when she mentioned that "it's easy to throw that short term memory off track" 😅
You actually make me feel relaxed. I had a seizure over forty years ago that did me some real damage but although the damage is still there and memory isn't as good as it could be, it has gradually improved over the years. It's really annoying though when constantly asked on PCs passwords or codes. I could pull out my hair at times. There should be a better way, especially when we get old.
What is Stress ? Stress is forgetting a password , entering it in 3 times incorrectly.. blocking your account … go through resetting password steps… enter in new password… “sorry , you can not use a previously used password” Modern world stress
This made me feel so much better. Working in marketing is stressful specially in this time of the year. I got worried about how much I kept forgetting. Thank you for this video!

Meditate! Yes, yes, yes. I have been a part of a wonderful meditation course twice. It helped so much. Of course I haven’t in all these years. That will be of amazing help to go back to. I got my hearing aids programmed yesterday. There’s a program for tinnitus where I can hear (I chose to) hear waves crashing into the beach, through my hearing aids. Turn to lowest, it’s masks tinnitus. Turn it up loud, we’ll, I’m at the beach! Going to use this too.
I'm still learning but I feel the best way to deal with the stress is not to avoid but learn to express it and deal with it, I still struggle with it though
I notice that too in many YT videos such that I automatically fast forward towards middle or end of video knowing I'll find the topic of the video there or the solution to problem mentioned in title of video
Neurotypicals are finally able to understand just how bad those of us with ADHD have it :) Welcome to our world lmao The only thing with us is that we can't just take microbreaks to reset our brains. I wish it was that simple.
Stress is good for us to function better in life; cos it helps us to stay on track and achieve our goals. But over-stress or overwhelm with stress will slowly affect our mental health and lead to more health issues.
What To Do About It ? Don't allow the stress to get to you, stress is only confusion, once you know the source of it and handle the confusion it will vanish.
I have reached near the end of this 9 min talk and the same things about forgetting due to stress has been repeated hundreds of time . And in the last 30 sec , the solution is take ‘a little break’ . How many years of study did you need to discover what everybody knows instinctively ? Listening to this talk is a waste of time !
You are lacking attention to details. Her points 1.Thinking hard doesn't help with memory, instead block memory from recalling 2.Multitasking lead us to work faster ,making us stressed 3.Small memory details aren't stored properly because it gets thrown around that's why it's hard to remember password like stuff 4. Stress makes your memory hard to recall
So if i forget my pin number at self-checkout or at the cashier lane, i should forget about holding up the lines behind me and pull out my phone to surf the web till I remember it. Brilliant 👎
Or, keep everyone held up because you just can’t remember. So, maybe have to just leave the groceries. Because if you can’t remember it, you can’t pay for them.
Some people don’t even realize how much stress they are living with until they hear themselves reflected in the list. You have to realize it first. Maybe just the act of realizing is what makes it worth the watch.
Let's define stress. When someone continually worries about something that causes physical symptoms. Stress is not causing my symptoms and we have already established that. You know what does? The device the using. The end.

Overwhelmed > overload “cognitive capacity” try up-down thinking framework (e.g. Minto Pyramid)
Constant worries > try read about anxiety & existential philosophy, from Kierkegaard, Satre, Beauvoir, Camus. Introspective philosophy: Descartes, Richard Moran, Henri Bergson, Ricoeur. Social Dynamics/Emotional Intelligence: Frances Frei, Brian Lowery, Susan David, Shawn Achor, Amy Jen Su

Imagine when you have ADHD. These problems are 10x bigger and those two steps are mere impossible when your always on low dopamine.
@@DeltaNovum And when you have Bipolar II Disorder, and are in your hypomanic phase, it’s not easy either. My brain chemistry isn’t right either.

Super interesting. Watching it day after June 2024 presidential debate. This makes a lot of sense & explains what happened & next day improvement.
Our brains are not built for the modern world, this is one symptom

The only thing with us is that we can't just take microbreaks to reset our brains. I wish it was that simple.
That's why it's always important to de-stress. Stress is inevitable. It's practically ingrained in your mind.
Thanks I'm cured
When you are stressed, take a break. Yeah... Genius...
it like: "you want to live longer, make daily excercice". REALLY EASY... nobody ever do it
How do you take a break when you need it when some lines of work don’t accommodate this?
The recommendation came on the last minute of the talk but not also substantial.
Stress is the modern disease
