BEAUTY KLINIC

Have you ever been on your way home from work and suddenly felt as if you were forgetting something important? Then, you end up walking in your home and you get a beautiful anniversary card from your spouse.

However, take heart, because you can improve your memory so that these types of things won’t happen. There are a few easy training techniques that you can use to make dramatic improvements in your memory so that you never have to worry about forgetting things again.

Your memory utilizes several different categories for retention. These are: names and faces, factual information, lists, dates and events, and so on. Each of these areas utilizes different techniques and tools that you can also use for memory improvement.

For example, if you’re someone who can’t quite remember names, there are several techniques you can use that will improve this for you. One way to do this (and one that’s commonly used) is to repeat a name when you’re introduced to that person, such as saying, “Nice to meet you, Tony,” when you’re introduced to Tony. This will help you remember the name and solidify it in your short-term memory.

To help lock this name into your long term memory the next thing you do is associate it with a rhyme of some sort. e.g. Tony the pony. Now every time you see that person for the rest of the night repeat to yourself in your mind “tony the pony” and start to imagine that person as a pony. Once you’ve got this locked into your mind it’s vertually impossible to forget. Improvement of your memory really is that simple.

Sometimes it can help to match the rhyme you think of with a common feature about their appearance. This can help remember the name for the long-term as well.

Yet another type of technique for memory improvement is to make up a sentence to help remember a list. Also you can work on remembering the first letters in the list as well to help remember it. When you do this it can help to make your memory remember the entire list. So, if you are going shopping and you have several things on a list, here is a way to remember what’s on the list.

Take a look at the list that you have, and then rearrange it to make word, such as follows.

B read
L ollies
A pples
C hocolate
K etchup

You can see in the above that the first letters of each of the items in your list to spell the word “black.” Keep the word “black” in mind, and when you get to the store, you’ll know you have to buy five things (since the word “black” has five letters), each of which begins with one of the five letters in the word “black.”

This is a relatively easy way to improve your memory, and that and the other techniques we’ve discussed will help give you a good memory in almost no time. All it takes is a little practice.
