Memory Improvement Tips - A Picture Tells the Story

By Victoria W. McCurdy


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:

Brain Exercise It is a known fact that we use a very small part of our brain while the vast part of it remains unused. People with very good memory generally use more parts of their brains than common people. Now that you know the difference, a sure shot way for memory improvement is to engage your brain more. You can try with simple activities like dressing up while keeping your eyes shut or brushing your teeth with your left hand. These unusual activities will engage the part of brain, which is generally not used.

More importantly, visual images make you focus. You can't learn or memorize if you are unable to focus. Go back to the grocery store example. You have to focus well enough to notice the gas station, pizza place, and dry cleaners, otherwise you won't make the proper turns.As such, use of visualization techniques are one of the most powerful memory improvement techniques.How To Use Visuals To Improve Your Memory.Let's provide an overview of how it works. First, your brain needs to be trained to associate facts and figures, like a password for example, with a visual image. That takes specific instruction and practice to make it a habit, but let's suppose you and your brain are properly trained.

The basic premise is fairly straightforward, though. You need to create an image in your mind that associates with the person, place, or text you are trying to remember. It works great with remembering names.Here's an example. Let's suppose you meet someone and their name is Mike. Maybe you'll want to associate a picture of a microphone, a "mike", in your mind. And even though my own name is Jim, that's exactly how I remember guys named Jim... I associate a "gym" with their face. It might sound strange, but it works.How many times have you strained to remember something, only to lament, "It's right on the tip of my tongue!". That means you have the information in your brain but you can't access it. A great way to access information you need for a great memory is to associate an image with it. Train your brain to use your sense of vision and you'll be well on your way.The best memory improvement tips are the ones you find fun to do. Try keeping a positive attitude and mind at all times and you will reach your most farthest goals.Okay now when you're creating your own diet make sure to include fruits and vegetables everyday or at least 4-5 days a week!. Try to cut back on junk food and unhealthy food. Once in a while won't hurt but eventually you will learn how bad this type of food can be for your system.

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.
