Getting a Better Memory

Think of it. To be able to remember people's names. To easily memorize school work or the things you need to learn for your job. To not forget where you put your car keys.

Think of how much time you could save if you could improve your memory. How you could impress other people with your knowledge. How much aggravation and frustration you could avoid!

Well, you can have a better memory. I built this website to show you how to get one.

Of course, you can’t really “get” a great memory the same way you can “get” some better clothes or “get” a new TV. You can’t swap your brain for a better one.

It’s like getting a better body. If you want to get stronger you have to exercise. If you want to get thinner you have to eat better food (and maybe eat less). If you want a strong immune system, you have to take vitamins and eat healthy foods.

“Getting” a better body means changing your body by forming new and better habits. A better memory is obtained the same way.

To improve you memory, you need to form habits that help your brain work at its best. And you need to change the way you learn information.

Here are some of the things you can do to improve your memory:

• Eat brain foods
• Eat healthy food
• Play brain games
• Do cardio exercise
• Use memory techniques
• Get restful sleep
• Take vitamins
• Take memory supplements

It’s not a long list. But each item requires forming a new, life-long habit. This will require commitment on your part.

Motivation and Persistence

You think you want a more powerful memory. But how badly do you want it? Are you motivated enough?

Playing brain games once or twice a month won’t improve your memory. Getting a good night’s sleep one night out of seven won’t give you a better memory, either. To improve your memory, you have to make these habits part of your regular routine.

Someone who wants to be strong and healthy will exercise several times a week for years – even for a lifetime. They know that if they lose the habit and stop exercising regularly, they will quickly start to get weaker and their muscles will shrink.

Strengthening your memory means adopting powerful new behaviors and creating the optimum environment for your brain. Like anything in life, the results you get depend on the effort you put into it.

The good news is that this website explains all the techniques and tricks you need to know to get started.

Is It Normal to Forget?

Our brains were designed to forget. Even the smartest person doesn’t remember everything. Forgetting protects the mind from becoming cluttered with trivial details.

Researchers at Stanford University's Memory Laboratory demonstrated last year that the more subjects forgot competing memories, the less work their cortexes had to do to recall a specific one. So a certain degree of forgetting is completely normal.

But some people (like me) seem to forget too much. Remembering a doctor’s appointment or your friend’s telephone number isn’t clutter. You need to remember those things.

That’s why I built this website. To help you learn powerful habits that will help you develop a better memory.
