Memory Improvement Tips - A Picture Tells The Story

By Richard M. Mathews


The main booster when you are trying to improve your memory is to remember that you only have to work on what you already have. It is not that your brain is faulty or doesn't work. All you have to do is to follow some strategies for memory improvement. Here are certain tips that will come handy for sure:

Tip #1 Mnemonics This is a fancy way of saying that you use different senses to help you recall information. This can be done through any of the senses, but words and pictures help. Also, when you are making up your associations the more bizarre they are the better they will work. So, when you are studying long equation formulas, lists of information, and the like, come up with some other word or pictures, even phrases that reinforces this knowledge and helps you remember.

Tip #2 Create a Story If you are learning a long ordered list, then simply create a story or sentence out of the first letter of each word in the list. Then, when you need to remember the list you will have the first letter of each word to tip you off in case you forget. This is commonly used in math, for example PEMDAS for parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition and subtraction is frequently taught as please excuse my dear aunt sally to help kids remember the order of operations.

Increasing attention or awareness We can never remember the thing to which we are not paying attention at all. To encode certain information in brain and in the appropriate memory centers, we need to pay attention to what we are learning. 8 seconds of intent focus is required to process a piece of information through hippocampus of brain and then is channelized to proper memory centers. The more we practice on paying attention without getting distracted, the better will be the rate of memory improvement.

Eating proteins is really important as well, so make sure you eat your steak at least once a week. Or you could go to IHop, get yourself the T-bone Steak with a salad on the side and a full cup of cold water. If that would make it easier for you, it could also work but of course homemade food is usually better and healthier.Writing down and creating a healthy diet for yourself should be the first step to a change you are willing to make in your life. It is a big step!So go grab a notebook, a pen/pencil and think about a diet that will go with you, do not forget fruits and veggies EVERYDAY!

For example; eating fruits and vegetables everyday or at least 5 to 6 days a week, it is really important for our health to eat healthy. Raspberries, Blueberries, Strawberries, Avocados and Tomatoes are really good when you're trying to keep a healthy brain. A healthy mind can bring peace to your life and positive energy in the way you live and think. Please consider these memory improvement tips and apply everything you learn to your life, think about your health and how beautiful life is, to not take care of it.

You can exercise your brain by stimulating it to new information, hobbies, and knowledge. Other ways you can exercise your brain is by moving away from mindless television and picking up a book, playing board games, memory games, doing crossword puzzles and other types of puzzles that force you to think. Break away from normal routines that become monotonous. How many times have you felt your car could drive you home from work because you have never strayed from a beaten path? It is the same way with your brain; if you do not give it new surroundings from time to time, it becomes stale or stagnant. Do anything you can do to throw a little spice up into your brains life.
