Helping Memory
Our brain is ever changing and rebuilding itself. Limit your fat intake.
1. Improve your ability to remember times-three by writing out the material. Put it into your long-term memory by reviewing it three times the first day.
2. If we think of something as important we can remember it. Make a post-it of material that is important.
3. Review out loud material you need to remember tomorrow just before bedtime. Do not allow other sounds while studying. Check your memory recall the next morning.
4. Just as hearing a sight fail with age so does smell and taste. Eating properly maintains brain function.
5. You must have some activity for a considerable part of the day that provides brain stimulation. TV is not a brain stimulant.
6. Stress is the major cause of forgetting. Continuous stress can kill brain cells.
7. Meditation and similar activities will reduce stress and improve memory.
8. Focus on the pleasures begot by good memories. Be positive in your expectation to be able to remember.
9. Seek out and hang on to new ideas. Review the new ideas from lessons in the recent past.
10. You will remember new ideas if you can associate them with history and events.
11. Read and study applicable texts with emphasis upon vocabulary improvement.
