How to sharpen mind’s memory - PART 2

Step 7:
Limited or eliminate the use of caffeine, alcohol and
nicotine. These products act as stimulants and
constrict blood vessels, which then interfere with
proper oxygenation of the body, especially the brain.
When the blood vessels of the brain are constricted,
it can diminish memory abilities.

Step 8:
Nourish the brain with new knowledge. Reading books,
magazine articles and viewing educational programs
will feed the brain a source of knowledge and keep it
learning. It is like giving the brain periodic
tune-ups just like you would a car.

Step 9:
Improve memory through visualization. Use images and
pictures to help you remember and recall things. This
image association will help your brain keep
information in order and the images can help cue up
memories.

Step 10:
Use repetitious memorization techniques. This is an
effective teaching tool for young children, and yet is
equally effective at any age. By repetitiously
repeating something you need to remember, it will help
imprint it to your memory and will be readily
available for recall.

Step 11:
Make up a song or rhyme in order to remember
information. Sometimes information that is put to
music or a catchy rhyme is information that is easily
cued when it is time to recall the memory.

Step 12:
Keep a journal. Not only is writing in a journal a
therapeutic way to release and work through stress, it
is also a good way to keep our memories in order.
Sometimes, we just cannot remember everything, but
keeping a detailed account of our daily lives can give
us something to refer to in order to recall what needs
to be remembered.

Step 13:
Learn to be a good listener. When a person is an
attentive listener, they tend to have better recall
memory of what they have heard.
