📖 Feel-Good Focus: Storytelling & Memories
There’s something special about sitting down and sharing stories. It’s not just about remembering the past, it’s actually really good for our wellbeing too! Studies show that reminiscing can boost brain function by up to 15% and even lift self-esteem by around 20%.
For many older adults, storytelling reduces stress, eases loneliness, and brings a sense of joy. And for those living with dementia, looking through photo albums or retelling familiar memories can spark recognition and open up wonderful conversations. 💜
Most importantly, stories connect us, they’re how we pass down wisdom, laughter, and family history through the generations.
✨ What’s one memory or story you love to share?
