Improve Your Memory With Effective Memory Improvement Techniques

By Zoe Smith


Have you ever forgotten where you put your car keys? I'm sure most of us have, some more than others. I know this person who takes forever finding her parking spot every time she goes to the mall because she somehow forgets to remember where she parked her car every single time. It's funny but I know for most of us, it becomes pretty frustrating when it happens all the time. If you think you need more work on your memory, read on for great memory improvement techniques and tips that can help you today.

Sure, a minority of the world's population are born with really low IQ-but I'm guessing whoever you are reading this do not belong to that category. Everybody, in their own way, is smart and can develop their mental muscles even further. Sometimes we don't have the necessary tools to do it, or more often than not, we are just too lazy to bother utilizing our brains. If this is you, stop. You can enjoy a more stress-free and productive life with a sharper memory and better focus.

You have just taken the first step which is to be willing to learn more about memory enhancement. What are you interested in studying particularly? Is it a subject you have to learn, a speech you have to make, or do you just want to remember stuff better? When you have a desire towards something and you are not merely obligated to do it, then learning is so much easier and faster.

OK that makes sense- but what if whatever you need to learn is dull and unexciting? How can you get excited to learn about that? Well, you have imagination don't you? Use it! Construct hilarious scenarios, exaggerated images and vivid scenes that will help you remember what you need to remember. Incorporate sounds, smells and touch to the picture.

There are about 60-65% of people who are visual learners. This group of people will find diagrams, colorful pictures, charts and illustrations to be most useful in helping them retain information. On the other hand, auditory learners find listening to the spoken word more effective. Codes and various mnemonic devices can be useful for remembering simple things.

Teaching somebody else what you just learn is one of the best memory improvement techniques. You will retain at least 70% of what you just received by doing so. When you show somebody what you learned, you will keep about 90% of the information.

Let us not forget the importance of a good diet and a healthy lifestyle in memory enhancement. Being sleepy is opposite of an alert and sharp mind. Fresh food and supplements rich in vitamins and nutrients are also extremely beneficial in improving brain function. For more serious issues, there are safe alternative medical treatments for memory problems that have been proven effective for many people.

Enjoy a more productive life when you make an effort to improve yourself by developing yourself mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. You can have it all-start living right today!
