Many believe that memory impairment is peculiar only to older people, and young people absorb and remember information well and quickly. Previously, this was so, but given the high pace of modern life, the situation has changed a bit. Stress and stress at work lead to the fact that many young people have reduced mental potential. The consequence of this process is poor memory. What to do if this problem occurs? Let's talk about this later, and now a few words about the symptoms of this "ailment."
Symptoms
How to determine that you have a bad memory? What to do if it worsens, read below. In the meantime, try to return to the past. Do you remember the main events of the past week? Can you say with absolute certainty that you closed the door and turned off the iron? If you answered no, then you have certain memory problems. But do not panic. Any problem has a solution.
Tips
So, you have a bad memory. What to do in order to fix this? Use the tips below.
1. Move
Go in for sports, move. Exercise and walking have a positive effect on the functioning of the brain. But this does not mean that you have to kill yourself in the gym every day. Stop at your favorite sport and plan your workloads, focusing on the current level of your physical fitness. After several weeks of active training, you will no longer be wondering: “I have a bad memory. What to do?"
2. Do not cram
Memorization is ineffective and does not produce results. Without understanding the meaning, information is remembered only up to a point and is quickly forgotten.
3. Repeat
No need to repeat the information read 20 times. Do this once a day for a week and best of all immediately before bedtime.
4. Turn on the imagination
People who remember long numbers have a developed imagination. They represent numbers in the form of inanimate objects, animals and plants. So use your imagination. Learn to attach information to certain images, and you will forget what bad memory is. What to do to memorize the text? Use images as well. If the text is very large, then attach the image to each paragraph.
5. Focus on remembering
Focus on this process. Draw parallels, listen, ponder, ponder. The more associations, thoughts and feelings are assigned to information, the better it will be remembered.
6. Eat correctly
To maintain high brain activity, you need to eat small meals 4-5 times a day. With this mode, the glucose level in the body will not drop. And, as you know, glucose is the main source of energy for the brain.
7. Associate
For example, if you take a profession like a businessman, then its owner, in principle, should not have a bad memory. What if this is so? You can hire an assistant who will remember everything for him. But it is much better to use the association method. It will help both when making new acquaintances (in order to remember a person, you need to associate him with a famous person), and when remembering information important for business.
