How to Improve Your Memory

If you wish to know how to improve your memory and recall a fact, and it does not come into consciousness, what do you say? “I have forgotten.” That is the customary remark. You now understand what such a statement will do. It is exactly the same as telling your subconscious mind to do nothing at all. You have forgotten, and that’s all there is to it. The next time you wish to recall a fact, say; “It will come to me,” or some such positive thought. With such a mental instruction your subconscious mind will delve into your storehouse of knowledge and presently you will find the thought coming into your consciousness.

As we grow older, our interests increase and frequently, through not having shown sufficient attention at the time of hearing a fact it will escape us. As we have such experiences, we begin to feel our memory is slipping and a ‘bad memory consciousness’ is created. The memory becomes poor because we have literally instructed the subconscious mind to make it poor. It is extremely easy to correct this condition. To hold to the thought, ‘I have a good memory’, will prove a revelation to us. We will develop a good memory.

Have you ever feared a fading memory? If so, you may now rest easy with the knowledge that our memories do not fade. We might misplace portions of memory, but that which we do bring into consciousness is as vivid as when first recorded.

It is interesting to know that the subconscious mind never forgets. It retains everything from birth through to our departure from this plane of existence. We misplace facts in our conscious mind, but they are always with us subconsciously. It is like having something in your home that cannot be found. You know you have it – but can’t locate where it was put. You also know that if you had been orderly and put everything in its place, you would not have experienced any difficulty finding the missing item.

As we gain good memory consciousness, order is established in our mental storehouse with the result that your subconscious mind will always be quick in supplying your conscious mind with the facts when they are needed.

Most people will say: ‘I remember faces, but quickly forget names.’ There is a good reason for this. When you’re introduced to a person, you see his or her face during the entire conversation, but you hear his or her name only once and then, perhaps, not too clearly.

The next time you are introduced to anyone, register his or her name on your mind. Acknowledge the introduction by mentioning their name, and during the conversation mention the name every opportunity you have. This will help to fix it in your mind. If the mane is an unusual one, when introduced, comment on it and ask its owner how the name is spelt. All such acts on your part will help you to remember it.

A number of books have been written and a few tapes and CD’s have been produced on the subject of memory, and you will find many of them interesting and helpful. However, if you will hold to the thought ‘I have a Good Memory’ you will be astonished to find how greatly improved it will become.
