Mind

To improve your memory while studying, use mnemonic devices. A mnemonic device is a simple way to remember information. For example, you may associate a vocabulary term with a place or person you are familiar with. Or you may remember the order of opperations for math by the acronymn “Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally.” The best mnemonic devices are ones that contain imagery, humor or novelty. Come up with a song, a rhyme or a joke to remember difficult parts of information. Not only will you make studying fun, but you will remember it too!

Body

Whether you are snacking after dinner or having dessert before going to bed, eating after hours can be damaging to both your health and your waistline. Generally, try not to eat 3 hours before going to bed. Eating too late not only causes your food to digest improperly, causing an increased calorie intake, but also requires your body to use excessive energy to digest food. Because the primary function of sleep is to regain energy, eating before you sleep is defeating this purpose. Put the ice cream back in the freezer and go to bed already!

Soul

Forgiving yourself, along with others, can be rather liberating. Let go of the past and get the weight off your shoulders. Who cares if you failed your literature test? Forgive yourself! Only you know how hard you studied, and there are plenty more tests to bring up your grade. So what if your sister borrowed your clothes without asking? Forgive her and establish new rules. Visually imagine forgiveness, whether it is mentally throwing that test in the trash or psychologically leaving your closet door open. Be the bigger person and live in forgiveness. You will feel happier yourself, while inspiring others to do the same!
