Social Connection

• Plan one “anchor” activity this week (group, class, faith, volunteer, or lunch date).
• Schedule two micro-check-ins by call or message.
• Try a conversation booster: ask a follow-up question or reflect back what someone said.
• If hearing or vision makes socializing hard, book a checkup or update your devices.

Mindfulness & Stress Management

• Practice 4–6 breathing daily (inhale 4, exhale 6 for 3–5 minutes).
• Add one mindful moment during a daily task (walking, dishes, tea, shower).
• Try a 5–10 minute guided meditation 3 times this week.
• Write down one worry + one action step to reduce mental clutter.

Technology That Supports You

• Choose one helpful tool:

• Brain game or learning app (10–15 min, 3–4 times/week)
• Reminder app or smart speaker for tasks and meds
• Simple tablet or phone setup for easy calls and photo sharing

• Create a short “how-to” for your chosen tool and practice it 3 times.
• Set up a shared calendar or favorites list for one-tap access to key contacts.

Health Checkups That Help the Brain

• Book or confirm your:

• Vision exam
• Hearing exam
• Medication review (ask about side effects that affect memory)
• Vascular health check (blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol)

• Talk to your doctor about any memory concerns or persistent brain fog.

 Keep It Going

• Review what helped at the end of the week. Keep what worked; adjust what didn’t.
• Add one new habit each week (small and doable).
• Celebrate progress—brain health is a long game, and every step counts.
