Test Your IQ

Are you like most people. You go to a party at a friends house and your are introduced to some new people. After you are introduced and shake hands with the standard “nice to meet you”  the name of that person completely escapes you. What about when you are wondering all over the house looking for your keys, and after the panic sets in of losing your keys, you discover they were in your hands the whole time?

The good news is that your short memory is not a lost cause. Increasing you memory takes a bit of practice and a conscious effort to do so. Follow these five secrets to increase your memory.

1. When you meet somebody for the first time and you shake hands repeat their name and as you’re shaking their hand. When you say their name look for a word association. So lets say you meet Larry and Larry has long hair. Register in your mind Larry is hairy.  Word association creates a mind trigger.

2. Take the time to understand the information given to you. As you remain fixated on a piece of information that  few seconds or minutes of intense focus will help your mind to process the

Facts. So when you set your keys down focus on an object that has nothing to do with keys. When I put my keys down I always remember that I put them next to my bible. I associate the bible as the key to a spiritual and loving life.

3. Repetition is another area to target. When consciously absorbing information just relate items to on another like in the above examples. Now it’s time to get to work memorizing. Remember the association of items in any order that you choose. Then repeat those associations with over and over in your mind.

4. After you have done step three a few times then it’s time to just relax and let your mind go blank for a few short minutes. Then go ahead and bring that information up in your mids eye again. Repeat this exercise two more times. Once you complete this you can be sure that the information is engraved in your long term memory bank.

This entire program is designed to be repeatedly practiced. If it seems like you aren’t getting it right away that’s okay. Just like anything else practice is of the utmost importance to expanding your memory.

This is the best way, I have learned, to helping with the deterioration of my memory.
