Memory Concentration Exercises
Forgetfulness comes when you do not concentrate your mind on your purpose.We remember only that which makes a deep impression.Therefore, we must learn to deepen our impression by associating in our minds certain ideas that relate to them.
For example if your flatmate gives you a note for someone on your way to work.You will easily forget if you just put it in your pocket or bag.
To avoid forgetting say to yourself something like."I'll stop at the corner of Martins street on the way to work tomorrow and drop this letter for Mr Jones."This creates a future events association in your mind and you are very unlikely to forget.
The same rule can be applied to different events.The important thing is to deepen the impression at the very moment it enters your mind.Concentrate your your mind on the very idea and surround it with all possible associating of ideas,so that each one will reinforce the others.
The mind's laws of association states that ideas which enter the mind at the same time emerge at the same time,one assisting in recalling the other.
The reason you do not remember is that you do not concentrate you mind sufficiently on the purpose at the moment the impression was formed.
You can train yourself to concentrate and put into use the law of mental association.When you form this habit, your attention is easily centered and memory trained.
Memory Concentration Exercises
1.Select a picture.Look at it for about three minutes.Concentrate and observe every detail.Shut your eyes and see how much you can recall about the details.Think of as many details as you can,colors,background,foreground,shapes forms etc.Now open your eyes to see how accurate your recollection is.Practice over and over until your mental image corresponds perfectly with the original.
