How to improve memory

Memory is very important and precious to us humans, because many times, we need to use memory to recall past events. However, different people often have different memories. Some people have good memory, while others have relatively poor memory. So, how can we improve our memory? This is something that many people are troubled by and struggling to achieve. It is a serious problem.

Improving memory is very important for our students, because if they have a good memory, their academic performance will be further improved. As for other people, they also want to improve their memory, because no matter what industry they are in, if they have a good memory, they will have an advantage. So let’s talk about how to improve memory.

Suggestion method——positive.

Many people often lament that "I have a bad memory". On the one hand, it is because of the passing of time, and on the other hand, it is because they lack sufficient confidence in their own memory. Faced with a series of foreign language words or a large amount of materials, some people think: Can I remember so many? In fact, this creates obstacles to one's memory. You should encourage yourself: "I will definitely remember it." This is a positive psychological suggestion. Think about how you could recite Tang poetry by heart when you were a child; think about how you carefully reviewed before exams and got top scores.

Memorization method—time limit.

Memorizing numbers, names, words, etc. within a specified time can exercise your memory. For example, when waiting for the subway, you can set a goal for yourself to memorize a few phone numbers and addresses on the billboard before the train arrives, and try to use your right brain to memorize. The next day, see if you remember it all. Don’t think this is boring. It can fully mobilize your left and right brain, prevent brain aging, improve memory, and it doesn’t cost a penny. This method can be done anytime and anywhere. Of course, you can also carry a few client business cards with you and use your commuting time to write down the addresses and phone numbers on them.

Recall method—detailed.

We usually come into contact with many people and things and remember a lot, but because we rarely recall them, many of the things we remember become vague or forgotten. Recalling often and as detailed as possible is a good way to exercise your memory. In a recent CCTV program called "Challenge the Host", the challenger and defender were required to observe a model in a short period of time and then compete to see who can remember more content. The content is very detailed, such as the color of the model's clothing, how many T-shirts she wore, what accessories she wore, where each accessory was worn, what decorations were on her shoes, etc. The memory of both competitors is amazing. In fact, we can exercise our memory in this way in our daily life. When you meet someone, recall the style and color of her clothes, her hairstyle and hair color, the style and fabric of her handbag, etc.; you can also recall a movie you watched recently. Who were the characters in it? What happened? How was the ending? Recall every shot carefully, the more detailed the better.

The suggestion method, rote memorization method and recall method described above are three relatively effective methods for enhancing memory, and these three methods have also been verified by experts. So for those of us who want to enhance our memory, we might as well use these methods to enhance our memory. I believe that you will see results after persisting for a short time. The key is to persist.
