Want a Better Memory? Stop Living on Autopilot

❓QUESTION:
If memory worsens with age, what can be done to improve it?
❗️ANSWER:
Wrong definition. Memory is a connection with previous I-selves. The deterioration of such a connection usually occurs due to an accumulation of patterns. Change patterns as often as possible — your memory will stay fresh. Your interest in something determines the quality of your connections. When you shut yourself into repeating patterned actions, these "networks of repetition" begin to occupy the entire "space" of your mind. What is not used fades away.

As an illustration — a video:
Ruth Larsson became the oldest person in history to jump with a parachute at the age of 103 years. At 90 years old, she wanted to learn more about flying and began trying paragliding, gliding, and hot air ballooning.
