By Gilbert M. Smith


Are you struggling with your memory skills? Looking for easy memory improvement tips? Well, we have something for you to try. Since a good memory comes from various parts of your brain, let's use an approach that allows you to use one of your most highly developed senses.

Memory And Vision Memory is a by product of all of our senses. Think about it. We learn by touching, tasting, hearing, smelling, and seeing.Of the five, the most powerful in terms of memory and memorization is seeing. That's because for some reason, most people remember a picture better than written instructions.Think about driving for a moment. You know how to get to your local grocery store, right? Of course you do. There are a whole bunch of visual clues along the way, like the gas station on the corner where you turn left, the pizza place where you turn right, and the dry cleaners as you enter the shopping center.

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.

There are various other ways that you can try to boost memory power. However, the primary important thing is always your own will power that will help you travel the road towards memory improvement.

Think of your brain as one of the most powerful muscles in your body, because in a sense it is. It may be an organ however, without it, where would one be? People spend tons of money yearly to workout in gyms, go to spas for relaxing massages, and do everything in their power to stay physically appearing young, however they fail to take the same care and consideration to the most powerful part of their body, their brain. Without exercising your brain, you will lose its powerful functioning that was the reason behind your success to maintain the job that enabled you to hit the gyms, spas, and other forms of treatments to stay looking young. That is your first tip in improving your memory, work the brain, or lose it.

So the next tip would be for you to try to make a work-out schedule for at least 4-5 days a week.It's time you create a little exercising routine and add it to your everyday schedule. Exercising at least 10 to 15 minutes a day everyday or at least 3 to 4 days a week is a great way to stay fit and keep a healthy mind along with a healthy body. For example on Monday you can do 10 to 20 jumping jacks which will probably take no more than 3 to 4 minutes and then you can do 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. Do this every morning, it will start your day in a good and healthy mood. You can switch it up a little and perform other exercises.
