4 simple steps to Improve your brain power

Memory can be trained similar to any muscle, it just takes time and persistence.There are people who can just remember a pack of cards by seeing it once. Indeed a young boy, NISCHAL NARAYAN, from India has placed his name in guinness world record for his memory capacity. He is being regarded as one of the 7 brilliant minds in world. At the age of 12 he could remember 250 digits.

So how is it possible?

first of all its not a God gift. U can be one but u have to train yourself.

So what they do is they try to imagie the stuff they want to remember. It's easy to remember things if u could imagine it. Images helps to recall things easily.

For example if u have to remember 5 stuff let that be pen, book bread, laptop, bed. So what u have to actually do is imagine that you are actually seeing this stuff. so imagine that u have to study so u took out PEN and BOOK and then u felt hungry so ate Bread and after that took out your LAPTOP to play games and finally went to BED to sleep. So now u can remember all the 5 items. Initially u may find difficulty to imagine stuff but once u do I guarantee u won't forget. U can always think about your home to imagine as u are quite familiar about it. So that's what every memory master do. They do exactly the same the thing but fast which needs practice.

You want to think of the 4 steps of memory:

Spot: you can't remember a thing if you haven't perceived it! Develop your focus when you study or listen, be aware of your favourite sensory canal, increase your attention span...

Link: remembering isn't exactly recording something; most of times it's more connecting a new piece of information to an already memorized one, what's called memory pegs; see for instance the 'memory palaces' technique; here you'll find all the mnemonics, tricks and techniques (numerical method for instance); most of them pertain to visualization development.

Retain: you want to revise whatever you want to remember; the natural rhythm of memory is : 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month => commitment to long term memory;

Retrieve: activate the techniques and mnemonics you have used in order to retrieve whatever you committed to memory.
