Brain Memory - 4 Essential Conditions to Sharpen Your Memory
Do you constantly misplace significant things such as your car
keys? Do you often forget important dates like birthdays and
anniversaries, thereby negatively affecting your relationships
with loved ones? If so, don't panic.
Many people are experiencing memory problems, regardless of age,
sex, or stature. So don't think only aging people can experience
forgetfulness, because everyone can encounter memory loss from
time to time.
If you want to have a sharper memory, you will find these
conditions indispensable:
1) You must be able to focus well and be attentive.
If you get distracted easily by things around you, then it will
take you longer to memorize and remember things. Try to find a
quiet room and concentrate on what you are reading, learning, or
observing.
2) You must be interested in what you want to remember or
memorize.
Let's say you love to study Psychology more than any other
subjects in the world. Do you think you would remember your
lessons in Psychology more than your studies in Math,
Literature, and other subjects? You bet. By becoming more
interested in the subject matter, you are also giving more
attention to it; thereby this increases your chances of
retrieving it from your memory anytime you wish.
3) You must have the imagination of a child. Be creative.
Many memory techniques require the practitioner to think of the
most outrageous and exaggerated images/pictures in order to
remember certain facts or information. The funnier and more
out-of-this-world the images, the better chances you will retain
data in your mind.
4) You must have a healthy lifestyle.
Eat less fat and consume more foods rich in vitamins and
minerals (especially beta-carotene), drink plenty of water, get
enough sleep, engage in cardiovascular exercises, relax and be
happy always. By doing these, your mind will benefit as much as
your body.
