Feel like you can t remember a darn thing? Tired of forgetting where you left the keys or the cell phone?
You can remember anything with a little work. Think about it for a moment. Your mind is a very powerful tool, but only when used correctly.
First, stop beating yourself up. Forgive yourself and let go of the fact that you seem to always misplace the keys. I ve struggled with this for a long time now and realized beating myself up over it does no good.
Pick a designated spot where you can put your everyday on the go items such as the wallet and cell phone next to your night stand in your room. Make a habit out of putting it there and very soon you will do this automatically.
When you do this automatically you won t have to think or worry about where you put the keys or the cell phone. Creating a habit is one way of working on memory improvement. Just make it automatic.
Second, create associations. When it comes remembering something new, come up with something you can associate the new idea with. This helps create a bridge so to speak for you to relate between an old and a new idea. For example, you know how to drive a car.
You have done it for over 10 years and you do so without thinking about it. Your best friend wants to go kart race. You never have driven one before. What do you do? Think like you drive a regular car. Both machines are similar in their approaches to operation. Not the exact same, but they do share some certain similarities. This is another way that can help in memory improvement.
Let s switch gears for a moment. You may think these techniques are useless and swear you just are a forgetful person.
But think about this for a moment. While you read this article, you recognized instantly and on the spot hundreds of different letter combinations that form words. How else could you possibly make it this far if you did not remember the meaning associated with each letter that makes up word?
Think of facts about your favorite sport or hobby? What else quickly comes to your mind? These thoughts probably came in the form of pictures to your mind. You are remembering.
You remember the days of the weeks and the standard concepts of time. How is it that you don t forget these ideas? Easy. You live with them and apply these ideas on a daily basis. Memory improvement does not have to be so challenging.
You can remember an old high school buddy from 10 years ago, even if you saw him in the African Sahara because you associate certain characteristics with him.
However, you may pass the same stranger every day on your walk to work, recognize his face and never learn his name. Then one day you may come across him in a city far away and you begin to wonder just exactly where did you see him last. He looks familiar you will think to yourself.
How come you can t recall where you had seen this mean before? It is due to the fact that you did not associate the man with anything. You never get it a second thought. It was a passive thought and played of little importance to you and your life.
You remember the things that are important to you and forget the little ones, especially useless information that doesn t add any value to your life.
As you progress through life, memory improvement will become vital to living a longer and happier life. However, don t feel so guilty next time you cannot remember something. Chances are it was of little importance to you in the first place.
