We're aware that its possible to strengthen our body through physical exercise but do we also know that its equally possible to improve the brain and consequently the short term and the long term memory, through regular, planned and increasing more challenging exercise.
Common research suggests that we can all improve our memory through simple daily brain activities.
Try these simple brain exercises right now and see an immediate improvement:
Can you remember 15 details of your life at the time of the death of Diana Princess of Wales? Or can you recall where you were when the news that Elvis had passed away was announced? Don't force yourself to remember. It's not a case of racking your brain. Indeed that would be an absolute hindrance to what we are trying to achieve. Simply relax and allow your mind to wander and for thoughts to come and go as they please. If possible close your eyes and allow the subconscious to paint its own colorful abstracts.
This activity is simple and is ideal if you desire to know how to improve short and long term memory.
How about trying this if on a long journey: relax again and set your mind a simple exercise and try to think of as many words with the letter as possible. Maybe choose a specific topic, such as names of people or animals, or minerals, or whatever. Then simply progress through the letters of the alphabet. Again there's really no need to strive but just relax into the activity and allow your mind, the deeper thoughts to come through. You'll be astounded with how much surfaces when you're not trying.
Tat seems to be the case with our memory doesn't it? In the frantic search for the car keys, something each of us has experienced we can't for the life of it, find them. But as we stop the search and begin to relax the memory or the thought about where we might possibly look next comes up trumps and we find what we were so diligently seeking. Amazing, isn't it!
Stress and Memory Improvement Techniques
Perhaps the greatest threats to our capacity to improve our memory is stress. You see when you are suffering from stress, in whatever form, your system will release high levels of cortisol into your bloodstream. Cortisol has the effect of destroying glucose - and, quite simply, glucose is the brain's only source of food. So if your brain is not getting the nutrients it needs then it will not function as well.
There are many resources on the web that will teach you how to improve short and long term memory. All it takes is a simple Google search. More specifically you should also go to www.immensememory.com and enrol into the FREE University of the Mind Immense Memory Course. Peter Wellington is the author of "Immense Memory - University of the Mind."
If you work on the net, you probably drink coffee. For those of you who don't, percolate refers to letting the coffee brew until it is just right, to wit, waiting. In theory, you need to let the robust flavor build to a perfect taste. Of course, I heat mine up in the microwave most of the time, but I digress.
If you believe in search engine optimization, you know time is an issue. Simply put, a site tends to rank better the older it is. You can do everything perfectly from the optimization point of view and it really doesn't matter. This is particularly true with Google and its lovely sandbox. Even when you pop out of the sandbox, it doesn't mean you are immediately going to go high on major keywords. Instead, it is a sometimes slow process as your site ages like fine wine. I am convinced someone at Google loves wine and configures the ranking algorithm along the same lines.
Anyway, you can fight the good fight against the time problem or stop wasting your time. Trying to push a site that is two months old up in the rankings is akin to having sex with an elephant. It takes a lot of energy, yelling and the results aren't great. No, I don't have sex with elephants. Its an analogy! Switch to decaf.
If you have patience, one approach to the time issue is to let new sites percolate. If you have an idea, buy a domain and slap a couple of pages up. Then flip the site into the search engines and get it indexed. For the next year or so, you can trade links every so often just to keep the attention of the search engines. Once 12 to 16 months have passed, you can revisit the site and really have a go at it since time is less of any issue.
Obviously, this is a long-term strategy when it comes to optimization. You have to be committed to being in the game for a long time. It is, however, a wise way to allocate your time. Domains are cheap as is hosting. When you have any old domain, how much time and money will it cost to throw together a 10 page site. Not much. In the meantime, you can focus your energies on sites that already have percolated and are ready for some prime optimization efforts.
Is this approach for everyone? Of course, not. If you intend to run multiple sites, however, it has worked for me.
