Don?t be Stuck With a Bad Memory, Train It!

Have you been forgetting things lately?  Do you feel that your memory lets you down now and then?  Then perhaps you need to learn new memory skills.  Boosting your memory will make your life a whole lot easier and it can be fun.

 

Where did I put the car keys?  Where is the TV remote control?  What was I suppose to pick up from the store today?  Most of us know all too well that memory lapses make life inconvenient and can cause embarrassment.  As the years go by, we also worry about becoming more and more forgetful.  You start to wonder if your occasional memory lapses are perhaps the first signs of the onset of Alzheimer’s Disease.  Does this mean you have suddenly become elderly?  You start to have haunting thoughts like these as you find yourself in positions where you cannot remember even the simplest of things.

 

You can improve your memory with simple memory techniques.  One of the most popular techniques is the Roman Room system (the Romans developed their own mnemonic technique based on Greek research).  It’s helpful because, after names and faces, forgetting objects is one of the biggest categories of forgetfulness.  The idea is to use the rooms in your house or sites in your neighborhood – anything you know really well, as links on which to mentally hang things you want to remember. 

 

If your memory suddenly refuse to do what you have asked it to recall, there is no cause of alarm.  A bad memory is usually one which is untrained.  If you can exercise the smallest of discipline, like brushing your teeth in the morning,  you can find that you will have an excellent memory.  All it takes is a bit of ingenuity and a lot of imagination and a bit of discipline.

 

There are some very effective ways to train your memory and your concentration.   Let’s start with a simple technique.  Let’s say you don’t want to forget three things you need to pick up: rice, egg and bread.  Picture walking through your front door and there’s rice thrown all over the front welcome mat.  Proceed to your living room and imagine eggs smashed on your floor and TV.  Continue down the hall and picture slices of bread glued to the walls.  The more ridiculous the images, the quicker the recall.  Once you’ve done this, take a mental walkthrough of your home to help with the memorization process.  Since these elaborate pictures, which you create in seconds, have sprung from your own imagination, they are much harder to forgot.

 

Elizabeth Gray, a 31-year-old senior project manager for a Toronto company that designs business software, took her memory for granted until she agreed to develop and promote a new piece of software.  Used to excelling at whatever she did, Gray suddenly found herself forgetting major marketing points during presentations to clients and unable to recall their suggestions for product modications.  She also forgot what she planned to follow up on, back in the office.  “I thought there was something wrong with me. “  She didn’t want to seem unconfident by taking notes, which would also create awkward dead time during presentations while she reached for a pen and paper and jotted things down. 

 

Instead,  Gray signed up for a two-day memory workshop, and after learning applying the association-imagination principle, she immediately saw positive changes.  Now she can easily remember ten to-do things by creating images.  For example, to remind herself to mail out a follow up survey after a presentation, she uses the image of a peppermint stick; peppermint-lick-envelope-mail-survey.  It might not work for somebody else, but it does for her because she’s the one who made it up.  The benefits have been measurable for Gray.  “I speak more confidently now because I can remember the points,” she says.  “I’m also able to use my humor since I’m not worrying about remembering everything.”

 

While there are many causes for a bad memory, a healthy person can usually expect the cause to be a lack of concentration or attention for the matter at hand.  Whether you are a student struggling with bad grades, a professional seeking to stop embarrassing moments during a presentation or just someone seeking to stave off Alzheimer in old age, you should consider some form of memory training.  Any student can excel in school with proper study skills and almost any healthy individual can boost his or her memory with proper memory training or memory techniques to improve memory.  Any good technique should not take more than a weekend to learn and it should be fun to learn!

You came into this world with a brilliant mind. It is standard equipment in the human organism. The question is, how well are you using it? The more positive thoughts and feelings you have about your mind, the better it will work for you.

And the most important thing you can do for your memory is to believe in it. You can accomplish this primarily by making only positive statements about your memory and your mind. This means you will have to dispel some current and very strong negative myths about memory and aging.

Don’t Buy The Program

How often do you hear (or say) something like, “My memory is not what it used to be,” “I’m having a senior moment,” or “I don’t remember, I must be getting old.” These and similar statements are made when someone is having trouble recalling a specific name or piece of information. Yet there are many very good reasons for that, which have nothing to do with getting older or becoming a “senior.”

In contrast to the above, how often do you say (or hear) statements like, “I have an excellent memory,” “My mind is getting sharper everyday,” or “My memory works very well for me.” I find it odd that these kinds of positive statements are a little embarrassing and perhaps feel a little socially inappropriate, while the negative and self-deprecating statements are very likely to bring a knowing laugh from listeners.

To improve your memory, you’re going to have to break some rules and risk being different. If you want to “fit in,” you’ll have to join in the popular game of being negative about your memory. However, if it’s too embarrassing or socially awkward to be positive about yourself, you probably won’t do it. So what you need are some skills you can begin practicing right now to make your mind work extremely well for you.

The Best And Most Important Memory Skill

When you don’t remember something, simply say, “It will come to me.” If you’re alone, you can say it to yourself, either silently or out loud. When you’re around other people, you might add, “It’s not coming to me right now. It will come to me.” Variations would be, “I’ll get it in a minute,” or “I’ll recall that soon.”

Forgetting is not permanent. It is simply temporary blocking to what you’re trying to remember. It happens when you’re tired, stressed, distracted, or just have a lot on your mind. It seems to happen more as we get older, but that’s simply because the longer we live, the more information there is to sort through.

You can keep those memory blocks in place by saying things like, “I forgot.” “I can’t remember.” “I can’t believe I don’t remember that.” “What is wrong with my memory?” or “I must be losing my memory.” All of these statements send a message to your subconscious mind to keep the memory blocks in place. When you say, “It will come to me,” you are telling your subconscious mind to access the information and give it to you.

Then you have to “get out of the way,” meaning you have to shift your focus to something else. After saying “It will come to me,” continue the conversation or make a relaxed change of subject. The more relaxed and at ease you are, the more quickly you will access the information you were trying to recall.

Imagine for a moment that everything that has ever happened to you is stored in a large room in the back of your mind. This is your memory bank. Now imagine that there is a friendly, cooperative little guy sitting at a desk at the door to the large room. He is listening to everything you think and say about your memory and your mind. When you say, “It will come to me,” he jumps up and quickly retrieves the information you are trying to remember. When you say, “I can’t remember,” “I forgot,” or “I’m having a senior moment” he takes a nap and keeps the door closed to the room with all of the information.

If you decide that you have a brilliant mind and a fantastic memory, he starts working out every day and getting in really good shape. That way when you need information he can sprint at light speed to access it for you.

Remembering Names

If you don’t remember someone’s name, just smile to yourself and say, “It will come to me,” and focus on something else. If it doesn’t come to you in time, and you’re on the spot to make an introduction, just smile and say, “Please tell me your name again,” with no apologies. Most people will be very gracious in these situations. The more natural and easy you are with all of this, the better you will feel and the better your memory will work for you.

When you’re preparing to attend a social event or business meeting, just picture yourself having a really good time. Look forward to the event, with the expectation that you will be comfortable socially and remember the names you need to. This will prevent your negative “fear mind” from predicting an awkward or anxious time.

Keep in mind that you are in the same boat as everyone else. Everyone deals with the challenge of remembering names at some time or another. By practicing Goodfinding skills of looking for the good in your mind and memory, you will set yourself apart from the crowd and develop a fabulous memory!

After someone tells you their name, repeat it back to them several times and you’ll have it forever. You might also look at their face and say their name silently in your mind a few times to lock it into your memory.

And above all, have fun with all of this!

Losing Your Train Of Thought

Nobody likes it when this happens. And yet it happens to everyone. When this happens to you, just go on to something else. You may or may not need to say, “I lost my train of thought.” When you say that, it is usually awkward for you and the other person(s), and serves no useful purpose. Simply talking about something else related the subject you were discussing will usually do the trick. Either you will get back to that “train of thought” or you won’t, and it won’t matter.

Nothing is worth getting upset over. When you lose your train of thought, you only make things worse by getting frustrated and stopping the conversation while you try to remember. And, it might make the other person feel uncomfortable. Even a joking comment like, “Well, that thought is gone!” and then going on to another subject keeps the feelings light and comfortable for everyone. And, this will light, playful attitude make it more likely that you will remember what you need to.

Consider also that sometimes you actually lose your train of thought because you were going down a path in the conversation that would be unpleasant or inappropriate for you or the other person. In such cases, just let it drop. Many times the other person is more than willing to pick up the conversation at this point and take it in a new direction.

You are a lot wiser than you think you are. Trust your mind and your memory, and they will just get better and better. Never, ever say anything negative about your mind, memory or age and you won’t be “joining the crowd” that is laughing all the way to senility. It just isn’t necessary.

Age Well, Age Elegantly, Age With Grace

Aging is living. Everybody does it, so we might as well learn to feel good about it. Memory loss with aging is simply not the inevitable problem that most people think it is. Through practice and positive thinking, you can keep your mind active and alert, and your memory functioning very well. Here are some positive statements to say to yourself about yourself:

-I love life

-I am aging magnificently

-I have an excellent memory

-I love using my mind

-My mind is brilliant

-I remember exactly what I need to remember when I need to remember it

-Anything I need to know will come to me

-I can count on my mind to provide me with the information I need

-The more I use my mind the better it will work for me

-I appreciate my mind and how well it works for me

-I choose to have positive thoughts about my mind and body

-I choose to have positive thoughts about aging and the entire life process

I am not able to recollect, who are you? Or sorry I forget you? Or where did I kept my car keys? Or sorry I forgot to bring your book? Or I am not able to remember what you told me that day? Or I forgot your birthday? Or Just slipped out of my mind……?

These are the most common phrases you must be experiencing many time everyday. What can you suggest out of these words? Surely the mare decrease in the memory and retention power or more majorly lack of concentration to remember things. All of our lives we keep saying these words to each other without even knowing that we actually are possessing symptoms of our carelessness and ignorance or some mental weakening. These are just the excuse of our ill mental performance.

But first I will explain you what is the memory?

Memory is the practice or retention, storage and recalling the past experiences and incidences that are allied with learning. With he help of learning one gains knowledge and the to apply this knowledge one needs this memory. Our brain in the organ that is involved in making memory available. Brain has two centers to store these knowledge these are short term memory and long term memory. Short term memories are associated with instant reactions, and are stored for a short duration of time. Long term memory or more commonly called the permanent memory is associated with concentration, focused approach and regular recurrence.

Coming back to the topic, here the question arises that is forgetfulness the sign if aging or memory loss. Well we really can’t ignore the truth of aging involved in decreased memory skills but the main culprit in these phrases is our lack of confidence, less concentrating power, carelessness, lifestyle and over confidence.

Below are the few tips by which you can be very much benefited by such problems.

1. Mental stimulation- for proper mental functioning proper mind stimulation is very essential. You can stimulate your brain by accepting new skills and activities, new kind of work is to be added to your daily routine, do things that excite you and new ideas are to be involved so as to activate the brain cells that have got atrophied due to lack of stimulation and same kind of stimulation to the brain cells again and again.

2. Proper nutrition – it is extremely important to have proper nutrients and supplements to avoid any kind of deficiencies occurring in our body. These can be achieved by having proper and balanced diet. One must be very particular about his or diet. A diet must contain proper distribution of fats, carbohydrates and proteins. The diet should also be full of vitamins and minerals. Diet also should be good in glucose (diabetic patient consult a dietitian) as glucose is supposed to be the brains food.

3. Social interaction - Humans need optimistic significant contacts with other humans. Lack of motivation from these types of connections can lead to misery and cause memory disorders. Unfortunately not every human connection is of this personality. In addition to your customary connections look for those with whom you can have optimistic and significant connections.

4. Breathing and relaxation - Breathing is an excellent way to get relaxed and it is necessary for existence. Breathing can be used to relax and calm oneself. By targeting on breathing one can facilitate to lessen stress and anxiety as these are the factors that can interfere with the memory and concentration.

5. Physical activities - The mind-body are inter-connected. Physical work out helps in promoting the mental alert ness and emotional growth. Workout is of many types. You should search out he best out the possible available that suits you and your temperament. But one thing should always be kept in mind that there should not be any physical strain on you body while indulging in physical activities. Regular involvement of your exercise should definitely improve your mental status.

6. Brahmi- the easiest way to enhance your memory and mental skills is by taking Mother Nature gift to mankind i.e. bacopa or brahmi. One of the biggest asserts to mankind is brahmi or more commonly known as Bacopa monnieri. Brahmi is traditionally a brain and nervine revitalize that helps in improving the mental condition and basic intelligence. Blessed with the benediction of ayurveda, bhrami is widely used in ayurvedic subsystem of medicine to assist in raising mental acuity and to support processes indulged in relaxation and peace of mind. Bacopa helps in rejuvenating brain tissues and cells thereby retarding the mental sickness and aging disorders. Studies have shown that by regular use of brahmi one can improves ones performance in mental skills, increase the intelligence level, promote longitivity, retards stress, improves concentration levels and betters the retention power.
