Do you have what seems to be a complete lack of ability in the area of remembering things? When you have finished reading a book or magazine do your find you can't remember any of the specifics but only have a general overview? I have been just the same, and it's the reason why I'm writing here. You'll be pleased to know that you can actually begin the process of improving memory just by some simple exercises. Your brain is just like any other part of your body, if you don't use it, it will lose strength and agility.
Some researchers say that we are all born with a photographic memory, it's true that we are certainly all born with an amazing ability to absorb information, develop and learn. As babies we utilized a larger portion of our brain but as we got older, we use it less and less and we consequently use less of it's capacity. But it is possible to strengthen the neural pathways and train ourselves to use more of our brains capacity.
These six tips are just a few simple techniques that you can employ straight away, to help you remember all the important stuff. 1. Pay attention. You can't remember something if you never learned it, and you can't learn something if you don't pay enough attention to it. If you are easily distracted or need to concentrate, find yourself a quiet spot to digest the information. 2. Gather information in a style that is best suited to you. Some people learn best by seeing, some by hearing and others by doing. Know what style you prefer and use it. 3. Involve as many senses as possible. Even if you're a visual learner, read out loud what you want to remember.
4. Relate information to what you already know. Connect new data to information you already remember, such as colors or people close to you. 5. Organize information. Write things down in address books and datebooks and on calendars; take notes. 6. Be motivated and keep a positive attitude. Tell yourself that you do have the ability to learn and remember. A positive mental attitude sets up our brain with the expectation of success.
No one can 'make' you improve yourself or 'make' you become a better person, except you. So if you've made it this far, it's because you want more than what this life currently has to offer. If you're on a path to improving memory it's because you want to learn faster, retain more information, comprehend better, be more knowledgable, develop new skills, get a promotion, appreciate art or music or literature. The reasons for improving memory are vast, yet so personal. But gaining all these benefits starts with you taking a step. - 30535
