If you become forgetful, cannot concentrate, write down any little things, because you are afraid to rely on your memory, then it's time to do it regularly. However, mindfulness and memory are not muscles, and their training should be thoughtful and creative. Location: Location: An effective memory trainer is the deliberate memorization of everything around, any details, little things. For example, consciously memorize the brands and numbers of cars every day when leaving the entrance. Over time, the subconscious mind will automatically begin to record this information, and you can easily name the number, color and brand of an unfamiliar car that has just passed in front of you. Just start looking at the details, force yourself to gaze at certain, well-defined parameters. Remember all bus numbers,departing from your stop, the name and price of each dish on the restaurant menu, or the names of doctors written on the door plates in the clinic while you wait for your appointment. Thus, you train in general, which will definitely allow you to notice and remember much more details and little things around you in the future.
Workouts can also be done at home. Place any object in front of you, such as a flower, book, toy. Look at the object for some time, carefully and carefully fix it in memory. Close your eyes and try to draw this object in your head as accurately as possible. Remember all the smallest details: size, weight, color, volume, cracks, etc. Open your eyes, re-examine the subject and appreciate how different it is from the imagined image. Record the missing details, close your eyes again and “finish painting” the image. Continue this workout and return to it until you are able to form an almost photographically accurate visual image of the object in your head the first time.
To consolidate the result, do not stop training. You can diversify them with an exercise with pencils and paints. Take an object and, having “photographed” it for your imagination, try to transfer its shape and the smallest details from your head to paper. The quality of a drawing should be assessed not by its artistry and beauty, but by the number of details noticed and recorded on paper. The main thing in the exercise is the process of training memory, not the ability to draw. The model should not be the object itself, but a fixed image in memory.
Do not neglect the "childish" training - memorizing poetry. Repetition and volume will be the main ingredients in this process. The more you need to memorize words, the more often you will need to repeat them. You will remember too voluminous material easier if you break it into parts in advance. Spread memorizing a long poem throughout the day. Learn one quatrain per hour. At the same time, pronounce the previous verse - a new repetition will only improve the memorization of what has been learned earlier.
Systematic mental exercises will allow you to memorize faster, be more attentive and are the prevention of many age-related diseases associated with memory loss.
