Are you struggling with your memory skills? Looking for easy memory improvement tips? Well, we have something for you to try. Since a good memory comes from various parts of your brain, let's use an approach that allows you to use one of your most highly developed senses.

Brain Exercise It is a known fact that we use a very small part of our brain while the vast part of it remains unused. People with very good memory generally use more parts of their brains than common people. Now that you know the difference, a sure shot way for memory improvement is to engage your brain more. You can try with simple activities like dressing up while keeping your eyes shut or brushing your teeth with your left hand. These unusual activities will engage the part of brain, which is generally not used.

More importantly, visual images make you focus. You can't learn or memorize if you are unable to focus. Go back to the grocery store example. You have to focus well enough to notice the gas station, pizza place, and dry cleaners, otherwise you won't make the proper turns.As such, use of visualization techniques are one of the most powerful memory improvement techniques.How To Use Visuals To Improve Your Memory.Let's provide an overview of how it works. First, your brain needs to be trained to associate facts and figures, like a password for example, with a visual image. That takes specific instruction and practice to make it a habit, but let's suppose you and your brain are properly trained.

Increasing attention or awareness We can never remember the thing to which we are not paying attention at all. To encode certain information in brain and in the appropriate memory centers, we need to pay attention to what we are learning. 8 seconds of intent focus is required to process a piece of information through hippocampus of brain and then is channelized to proper memory centers. The more we practice on paying attention without getting distracted, the better will be the rate of memory improvement.

Eating proteins is really important as well, so make sure you eat your steak at least once a week. Or you could go to IHop, get yourself the T-bone Steak with a salad on the side and a full cup of cold water. If that would make it easier for you, it could also work but of course homemade food is usually better and healthier.Writing down and creating a healthy diet for yourself should be the first step to a change you are willing to make in your life. It is a big step!So go grab a notebook, a pen/pencil and think about a diet that will go with you, do not forget fruits and veggies EVERYDAY!

Think of your brain as one of the most powerful muscles in your body, because in a sense it is. It may be an organ however, without it, where would one be? People spend tons of money yearly to workout in gyms, go to spas for relaxing massages, and do everything in their power to stay physically appearing young, however they fail to take the same care and consideration to the most powerful part of their body, their brain. Without exercising your brain, you will lose its powerful functioning that was the reason behind your success to maintain the job that enabled you to hit the gyms, spas, and other forms of treatments to stay looking young. That is your first tip in improving your memory, work the brain, or lose it.

You can exercise your brain by stimulating it to new information, hobbies, and knowledge. Other ways you can exercise your brain is by moving away from mindless television and picking up a book, playing board games, memory games, doing crossword puzzles and other types of puzzles that force you to think. Break away from normal routines that become monotonous. How many times have you felt your car could drive you home from work because you have never strayed from a beaten path? It is the same way with your brain; if you do not give it new surroundings from time to time, it becomes stale or stagnant. Do anything you can do to throw a little spice up into your brains life.
