In recent months, everything seems fuzzy . Your memories are not intact and you need time to remember precisely what you did last Thursday. It often happens that you stumble over a word, lose your words and more generally feel that your memory playing tricks on you. And that worries you. Do not panic, you are not alone and the pandemic of the Covid-19 has a lot to do with it (not to say that it is totally his fault).
The memory results from a multitude of connections do in your brain. Creating memories takes a lot of energy from your brain and relies on recurrence information given to your brain . This also explains why you don't remember Louis, whom you met a year ago in a bar. The more you provide the same information regularly to your brain the more it will remember. The pandemic came to turn all that upside down, by affecting certain parts of your brain. In addition, your attention and involvement have been strained.
Whether we like it or not, the health crisis has awakened in each of us a hundred anxieties . It has taken over our daily lives. Rare were the times when you could forget about the virus . By turning on the TV, listening to the radio, reading the press and even during your dinners with friends. The subject was everywhere, on everyone's lips. It is therefore difficult to extricate oneself from this time anxiogenic . And it is well known, anxiety prevents concentration . The more you think about something negative, the more difficult it will be for you to immerse yourself in your work or in what it requires of you concentration. It is for this reason that you feel a lack of enthusiasm, for example, in your discussions with others, personal or professional.
Telework didn't fix anything. You have been, for the most part, stuck in the same place for your professional activities and personal . You couldn't cut. It is therefore difficult to process the information correctly. For your brain (and your memory) there is nothing worse than not being able to diversify spaces and environments. Remembering information in this context is all the more complicated. And because you can no longer concentrate, you have lost the taste for involvement . Read a book to the end, finish a series without getting bored in the middle and look at your phone. These small pleasures of life have become uninteresting for you.
To get involved again, try to distribute your moments that require concentration . Give yourself time and don't force yourself to be focused. If you can concentrate for 15 minutes one day and 30 minutes the next, that's already a win. Re-teach your brain to work and try to change your environment, see people without masks, memorize lyrics and be patient. As soon as the return to life takes place, your brain will adapt.
