Lesson Overview

14.14 – How Stress Impacts Memory and Focus: When you’re under stress, your brain prioritizes survival over learning. That means memory and concentration take a back seat. The stress hormone cortisol makes it harder for your brain to store new information. You might notice forgetfulness, distraction, or trouble finishing tasks. The more pressure you feel, the less your brain can process clearly. Chronic stress also shrinks parts of the brain linked to memory, but rest and mindfulness can reverse that damage. Simple breathing, short walks, and good sleep help your brain organize and retain information better. Taking regular breaks actually makes studying or working more effective. Calmness sharpens your ability to think and remember. Protecting your focus begins with protecting your peace of mind. Your brain performs best when it feels safe and rested, not rushed or overwhelmed.
