Simple Strategy Game to Help Boost your Memory

We have talked about how our brain and our body are different from our mind.  So, if we learn how our brain functions and learn skills that help us use our brain better, we win big time.  If we practice those learned skills, we can wow ourselves and benefit others in the process. One function our brain uses is pictures.  If you are asked to think of a rose, most will mentally view a picture of their favorite colored rose.  Our brain pulls the picture and sometimes an emotion or story associated with the picture out of a file cabinet in our brain and we envision a rose.  So what’s the big deal?  Well here it is.  If you want to remember something, make a mental picture of the object (remember picture?), develop an emotional short story (remember sensation?) and then store it in some obvious fixed place (file cabinet).  If you want to keep that memory long-term, review the picture with the sensation in the file cabinet one hour later, than a day later and then a week later.  It will be yours, and with practice, for quite some time.

 Action Time!

Going to the store? Try the process.  Make a mental picture of the item and put some humor into it.  Store the mental picture and emotion in cabinet places on your body.  Here are some cabinet suggestions:  your feet, your knees, your thighs, your rear, your lungs, your shoulders, your ears, your face, the top of your head and one last one, the ceiling.  That is ten places. Now, go to the store and look at your feet.  What happened?  Your lungs?  What happened?  If it works (and I know it will) with practice, what other setting can you use the process? Write down your experiences and successes and tell me about it.
