Almost every one of us periodically encounters a problem when important and relevant information completely flies out of our head at one point, and all the vain efforts to recall the forgotten are only exhausting and frustrating. The solution is simple - start training your brain, and also remember a few tricks.
Instruction manual
one
No matter how trite, but you must learn to remember information so that it is not forgotten by you. The quality of memorized will increase at times if you associate it with a number of associations. This is especially true for something completely unfamiliar to you, for example, associations will be great helpers in learning a foreign language.
2
How to build associations? The whole secret is that the associative chain is as simple and straightforward as possible. For example, in English the word “tights” sounds like “tights”. Children at school are often given an association with the word "Chinese", continuing with a connecting explanation - "Chinese tights." When a child wants to remember the word “tights” in English, he recalls Chinese tights, and then this association leads him to the correct answer.
3
Link information into one phenomenon. For example, you are standing in a supermarket and cannot remember what you had to buy from the products. You will remember if you push off from the dish that you were going to cook today. Parsing it into its constituent ingredients, you can easily remember what you needed. In this case, there is no need to compile a list.
4
The psychological technique "Tangle" will help you remember if not everything, then a lot. Its essence is that you have to imagine a part of your life, from the moment “now” to the moment when you have not forgotten the information, in the form of a ball of thread. Unwinding a tangle, you will unwind your memories.
5
For example, you have lost your favorite book and cannot find it even in the places where you usually put it after reading it. Sit, relax and focus. Start unwinding the ball from the moment you saw your book for the last time. Gradually unwind your memories, and it may turn out that at some point when you read the book, you were called from the street, you ran out onto the balcony and left your book there.
6
If the ball doesn’t unwind, relax. Distract for 10 minutes, and then try this technique again. If you can’t remember at all, throw this idea away from you for a while, maybe a few days. It happens that memory itself returns to us the lost. For example, at night, when the brain organizes all the events that happened to us in one or several days.
7
Train your brain. Read more, communicate with smart people, look for non-standard ways in solving ordinary problems, in general, make the brain work at any possible time.
eight
Give up bad habits: smoking, alcohol, and overeating. All this destructively affects the brain and, as a result, very quickly destroys memory.
9
Exercise outdoors or just walk a few hours a day. For a weekend, get out with friends outside the city, where the air is clean and filled with a lot of oxygen, which is so necessary for high-quality brain function and, of course, for the development of good memory.
