Neuroscience affirms that positive emotions are an effective means of improving memory retention.
Do you feel trouble retaining information in your memory, especially in the workplace environment where your performance counts as a significant role in the efficiency of business?
If I tell you there is something phenomenal that helps to store data in your mind easily without fear of being lost.
So it is TRUE.
Neuroscience research discovers that the integration of our emotions can profoundly enhance memory performance.
So you can stand out your communication, training and leadership skills in the workplace.
But, wait a minute.
How do our emotions prove to be the game changer for storing information in our minds?
When you link vital information with emotional context then the part of your brain hippocampus( responsible for memory retention) activates due to the engagement of the amygdala, which processes your emotions.
For example, employees in the work field can better show their performance well if emotional connectedness is found through a compelling story or a relatable background turns out to be an excellent source of recalling knowledge.
Applying emotions effectively in the workplace
Do you know managers or trainers can boost the performance of the business by presenting materials and presentations that evoke optimistic emotions in the employees that they could act and believe together to witness satisfactory outcomes?
By providing an empathetic environment to the workers, employees are more likely to follow the direction and commit to their work.
However, not all the emotions proved to amplify the memory. Other emotions have a reverse effect.
A recent study discusses how our negative emotions like stress, anger, or fear can hinder our thinking and contemplating the process of the mind. It is known as Emotional interference.
So, here you witness how our positive and negative emotions could turn the route of our lives.
Moreover, I am going to give you some practical tips that will reduce the effect of emotional interference in your work.
1. Relate your work to storytelling for a better understanding
Use real-life stories or experiences in your work that could evoke your emotions to teach concepts.
2. A good feedback
Positive feedback not only gives you confidence to add value to your work as well as it helps to retain information longer in your mind.
3. Overcome negative emotions by reminding big achievement
If you do business, job or any other work try not to hold on to your negative emotions by reminding them of their reverse effect on your mind, work and job.
You can trick your mind by centre your attention on your achievements and big rewards so you can better overcome your negative emotions
In the end, I would say,
Don't take your emotions for granted. Good and optimistic emotions not only boost your memory but also help to thrive in your work.
Contrary to a negative emotion that hinders your mind's growth one easily gets overwhelmed by the unbalanced state of an emotion resulting in the performance of their field.
