About This Day
Good Memory Day is celebrated annually on January 19th. Unfortunately, I could not find specific details on this holiday's origin.
However, many online sources made it clear that this holiday was established to encourage people to think positive thoughts and remember good things from the past and present.
In fact, recalling good memories is beneficial for one's health. In the article Reminiscing about positive memories buffers acute stress responses, the authors Speer and Delgado started their abstract by stating that "recalling happy memories elicits positive feelings and enhances one's wellbeing."
Researchers claim that recalling good memories is beneficial in regulating one's mood. It may be a great way to de-stress on some of the more challenging days in life.
How to Celebrate
Take a moment to think back on good memories from your past. Look through old photos, watch recorded home videos, or close your eyes and recall a happy time from your past. Let those memories fill you with joy and happiness for however long it lasts.
Do something today that you can look back on as a good memory tomorrow. Spend quality time with family, get in touch with old friends, or set out to do something fun.
Consider creating a memory bank of sorts to document good times and refer back to them another day. You could create a time capsule, scrapbook, or some other memory keeper so you would not forget anything that is worth remembering.
Finally, keep your brain active by playing memory games. Memory games may boost your cognitive performance and improve your memory slightly. At the very least, you may find a game you enjoy to pass the time and relieve some stress.
