Get a Helping Hand

When you’re looking for a word, using your hands may help jog your memory, according to a study in the American Journal of Psychology.

Researchers found that people who held onto a bar to keep hands still had more trouble thinking of complex words than those who were allowed to move their hands freely.

So the next time you’re tongue-tied, go ahead and gesture – a few hand waves may take you a long way.
