Memory impairment or loss doesn’t have to be accepted by you. It is a condition that does have some remedies. You can use many effective methods that will maintain and increase your memory skills. Here are some great ideas.
Try to practice breathing exercises several times during the day. Every hour, breathe deeply through your nose three times. This helps your body de-stress, and delivers oxygen to the brain. The increased oxygen to your brain will help to maintain its sharpness and will improve your ability to recall important information.
To aid your memory, try connecting the new information you are trying to remember with knowledge you already possess. If you associate something you already know with something new you are trying to learn, you’re more likely to recall things quickly and store them in your long-term memory.
Drink pure, filtered water on a regular basis. Your body, brain included, is over 70 percent water. If you do not have enough of it, your brain will tire and lose vital clarity. This will make it harder for you to recall and memorize information. Get about eight glasses of water each day to stay your sharpest.
Setting an important idea or fact to music can help you remember it more effectively. Ask anyone who learned their alphabet as a child if it was learned through song, and you will see how effective it is. Brain cells retain repetitive actions and words much more easily. Try singing some of the important information you have to remember, and see how much easier it becomes.
A simple way to improve someone’s memory is by paying attention. Although you might think that you're paying attention, you might have your mind wandering, in which information is not absorbed efficiently. Clear any distracting thoughts from your mind and replace them with tight mental focus on the information relay at hand. Keep your focus soley on your subject.
Most memory loss can be reversed, or even avoidable in the first place. If you use the techniques you have read here, you should see an improvement in your memory before long.
