By Alan L. Lee


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.

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.

Like they say "Knowledge is Power" and knowing how to live healthy is a must if you want to live for a long time.There is many health and memory improvement tips we can talk about but you should know the most important tips.

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.

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.
