Are you frustrated by your complete lack of ability to remember things? Do you read an article or book and then can't remember anything more than just a basic overview of what it was about? Then this article is dedicated to you! Here I will go through some of the exercises that will show you how to begin improving memory and information retention. It's all about exercise! It works for every other muscle in our body so we must also exercise the 'muscle' of our brain. If you don't use it, you'll lose it!
We were all born with an amazing ability to absorb information and learn and develop. We used a larger portion of our brain capacity, yet over the years we've trained our brains to think less, to use less of it's capacity and we've basically become lazy. With some exercising though, we can strengthen our nueral pathways, think more clearly and retain more information. And there are tools available to you right now that can teach you how to access the long unused portions of your brain (no offense) and tap into the ability that IS within you... that ability to see some thing, commit it to your memory and recall the information with amazing accuracy.
To get you started on improving memory, here are just six simple steps that you can utilize every day to exercise your brain. It may take a bit of getting used to, but the benefits are well worth it. 1. Pay attention - in order to remember something properly you need to have absorbed the information in the first place. Recognize that while reading or listening you may need to remove distractions from around you. 2. Learn what your learning style is and use that when absorbing information. So if you're a visual learner you will do better if you can see what you're learning as opposed to just listening to an audio. 3. Use all your senses - or as many as possible. Even if you are a visual learner, you will benefit from being able to hear or feel what you are learning as well.
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.
Improving memory will improve all areas of your life. It's not just about being able to memorize a list of groceries or remember birthday's and anniversaries. As you exercise your brain you will find that you can absorb information quicker and you are able to retain and then recall that information. You can open yourself up to learning new skills, gain an appreciation for music, art or literature and so much more. Whatever your reason for improving memory, brain exercise is the very first step you need to take. - 31521
