MEMORY
Your mind is built to remember. It never forgets or loses anything throughout your entire life unless you suffer some type of brain injury or damage. When we say we “forget,” actually we have lack of recall due to memory blocks or the misplacement of information. It is a natural tendency to remember only those things or concepts with which we agree or deem important. We simply pay more attention to the ideas and information we intend to remember or can relate to our own priorities or experiences.
There are many techniques, strategies, mnemonics, and tricks which can enable you to memorize and recall almost anything. Most importantly, you must intend to remember and learn the information, then set a realistic goal. Realize that you can improve your memory. Don’t waste time making excuses or blaming yourself. Use that time to your own advantage!
As you review these memory techniques, focus on the elements that best fit your learning modality: visual, auditory, or kinesthetic.
