Easy Tips To Get A Photographic Memory

By Andrew Wallace


There are people whose memory baffles you. They can recall something from a year as though it is happening now and in front of their eyes. For some people, this ability is inborn. But is it possible to get a photographic memory or at least enhance your ability to remember? Here are some of the tips given by experts.

Your health plays a significant role in determining the capacity and ability of your mind to recall. To boost recall, you must adopt appropriate lifestyle changes. They include abandoning stress, anger, anxiety and depression, among other harmful mental health conditions. Do not rely solely on medication. Rather, be more social and engage in what will keep the brain alert like tai chi and yoga.

An active mind will remember more and easily. Your mind works like the muscles of your body. Exercising the mind increases its ability and capacity. Recommended activities in this regard include crossword puzzles, reading books, play board games, learning a new language, reading newspapers or enrolling for an interesting course.

A healthy brain must have adequate supply of blood and oxygen at all times. This can only be guaranteed through exercising the body. This pumps blood faster to all parts of the body leading to adequate oxygen supply. Endeavor to enjoy fresh air at all times. There are lifestyle options that boost the activity of your body. Riding the bike several hours a week, abandoning the lift in favor of stairs and at least thirty minutes exercise every five days of the week are the other options.

The level of alcohol in your body will also affect how much you remember. This calls for a moderate drinker. Excessive drinking affects your receptors by blocking them. However, for long term memory, it is recommended that you drink in moderation. This means taking between one and two glasses of wine on daily basis. This protects your brain from damage in the long run and shields you from Alzheimers.

According to experts, the ability to recall sometimes does not have anything to do with your brain and its health. Your environment may affect how well you remember. To circumvent this trap, it is recommended that you eliminate all distractions that hinder the mind from focusing on the important things. It is easier to recall anything that was registered in an environment with minimal distraction.

Association is also touted as one of the most effective strategies to promote recall. It involves relating an item, person, name, scenario, etc with its attributes. For a title like The Green Road, imagine why it was given such a name and what it represents. Another example is where you visualize the behavior of keys placed at the door. Would they run, play, etc.

Other ways of remembering things include repeating the names or attributes whenever they are mentioned. You may also chunk or group items together or split large figures or lists. Of greater importance is the health of your brain and the environment in which the mind registers what is to be remembered.
