Why is writing down your emotions so good for your health?
How can using your non-dominant hand help you?
Can sleeping right after studying help you learn better?
We’ll be discussing all of these AND more…
1.
Sleep right after studying For many people, studying for an exam can
be a problem.
Some folks can’t memorize information as well as others.
If you’re constantly distracted during study time, there is some hope.
A common way to deal with this issue is to try and read the information as many times
as possible.
Some choose to write it down so it stays in their mind longer.
But research has shown that one of the most effective ways of learning is having a good
sleep after you complete studying.
So, if you want to keep information in your brain, it’s best to fall asleep as soon
as you learn something new.
It may not always be possible, but it’s one of the best mind hacks.

Write down your emotions before an exam Before you take an exam, it’s natural to
be worried.
You’re wondering what questions might come and whether or not you’ll pass.
More often than not, this worry ahead of the exam can make things worse.
One way to deal with this is to write down your emotions before going in.
Focus on exactly how you feel at this moment, and what you’re trying to accomplish.
Also, it’s good to acknowledge the stakes that are involved.
Research has shown that this can actually help you get a better grade.
It will also help you get rid of negative emotions.

Break big projects into small pieces Almost everyone feels overwhelmed when they’re
faced with a big project.
Even a small one is enough to make your head spin at times.
All that mounting pressure can make the toughest person break down.
But there’s a way to trick your mind into being more confident.
Experts suggest the best way to deal with a big project is to break it down into small
pieces.
It’s kind of like a pizza.
No one can eat an entire pizza in one go.
Instead, it’s cut into slices so you can work on it one at a time.
Similarly, if you break the project into small, logical steps, it will be easier to complete.
4.
Use your non-dominant hand to eat less This one sounds a little strange, right?
Well just hear me out.
One of the big problems of losing weight is the part where you’re unable to stop yourself
from snacking.
Most of us feel hungry after a few hours go by.
Research suggests the best way to tackle this excessive snacking is by eating with your
non-dominant hand.
While this won’t stop you from eating completely, you’ll still eat a lot less than you did
with your dominant hand.
5.
Chew gum to concentrate Remember when your teacher would get mad for
chewing gum in class.
Well, you might have been on to something.
If you’re working on a task that requires lots of concentration, it often feels impossible
to complete.
The mind tends to get tired, causing your thoughts to wander.
This can completely throw you off..
But research has shown there’s a way to trick your mind.
While concentrating on a task like reading, it’s good to chew gum.
This mindless activity helps your brain zero in on the subject at hand.

6.
Listen with your right ear to hear better In today’s world, there’s a lot of background
noise.
So many interruptions around you, it’s enough to make you nuts.
It makes it difficult to be part of conversations or even listen to what’s happening in a
video you’re watching.
If you’re having to constantly deal with background noise, one way to make sure you
don’t miss anything important is to use your right ear more.
A study showed that both children and adults are able to hear better with their right ear.
When you’re chatting to your boss or your friends, and want to avoid asking them to
repeat themselves, it’s best you lean towards the conversation with your right ear.
7.
Start your day with the most difficult task A common thing people do is start the day
with a task that is easy to accomplish.
The thinking behind this is that starting your day with a task completed successfully
will put you in the right frame of mind for the rest of your day.
However, research suggests that this in fact is the wrong way to go about it.
Instead, you should start by doing the hardest task first and finish that.
This will increase your performance levels throughout the rest of the day, and make you
more productive.
8.
Apply ice on your hand during a toothache This is another really strange one, but believe
us, it works!
Do you suffer from toothaches on a regular basis?
If so, you’re most likely trying to take painkillers, or desperately calling your dentist
to relieve the pain.
However, research suggests that ice cubes in your hand are more than enough to get rid
of the toothache.
For this to work, you need to take ice cubes and use them to massage the webbing between
your thumb and index finger.
Depending on which side of your tooth is aching, you need to do this massage on that hand.
This reduces the toothache significantly.
It may sound crazy, but it’s legit. 9.
A pencil in the mouth can boost your mood These just get weirder and weirder.
Sometimes, you find yourself in a bad mood.
This is a natural occurrence that can happen for a number of reasons.
Being in a bad mood constantly can negatively impact your life, especially when it comes
to productivity.
There’s a simple way to boost your mood.
Psychological studies have shown that putting a pencil or chopsticks in your mouth can actually
help improve your mood.
The simple task of forcing your muscles to act like you’re in a good mood can end up
doing wonders to your actual mood.
10.
Beat jet lag by regulating meal times For people who travel to different parts of
the world on a regular basis, jet lag is a constant problem.
Even for people who love traveling, the feeling of extreme fatigue is enough to ruin your
trip.
It almost discourages people from taking long trips to begin with.
However, research shows there’s a way you can beat jet lag.
Rather than changing your meal times to suit the time zone you’re currently in, you should
eat your meals at the same time every day.
It doesn’t matter who you are.
This will ensure you fit in with your home body clock, and not have to suffer jet lag.
11.
Exercise regularly You need to work out to maintain a healthy
relationship between your mind and body.
Getting exercise not only benefits your physical health but your mental health as well.
Experts believe people who are physically active are less likely to experience a decline
in their mental functioning.
In fact, they also have a significantly lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
The physical and mental health benefits of exercising comes from its positive impact
on your blood flow.
When you’re exercising, blood flow to your brain and other organs increases.
You’ll be surprised to know exercising can also counter the decline in mental functioning
due to aging.
In fact, it might even reverse some of the problems with your brain.
This is why you should try and exercise several times a week for 30 minutes to an hour.
Any activity that safely increases your heart rate is good for your body and mind.
