Stress reduction is a big one too. Prolonged stress has been shown to negatively affect the hippocampus which plays a major role in how our memories are sorted and stored. I wish you well in your journey, and I hope you’ll share your progress with us.

Debbie – Congratulations on your current and future recovery! You sound determined, and you definitely have your plan in place. Have you decided which language you are going to learn?

The other thing I did is to go to the dollar store and purchase more pairs for just $1 each. That way I don’t have to worry about them breaking, or loosing them. I leave a pair in the bathroom, as one reader suggested, another one in my purse, one in the camera bag etc.

I used to wear my keys around my neck to, but now I’m using the basket too.

My New Year’s Resolution – start regular brain improvement exercises – and also work on meditation and fitness to reduce stress.

Best of luck to all of you – 2010 is going to be a great year for all of us!

One way I remember where I set my keys is to have a small basket in my entry way. I always put them in there, so I always know where they are. (The days of me running all over the house looking for them while trying not to be late are thankfully long gone.)

With reading glasses, you can pick a place where you most often use them and return them there each time. You could even set up a valet, box or basket in a central place like the kitchen where your glasses and keys are kept when you’re not using them.

If you tend to do reading in the bedroom, you might think about purchasing a second pair so one always stays in the bedroom.
