Memory gap is a common problem especially to older people. When age is getting older, memory also comes along with it. A lot of people will say that you cannot anymore do anything of having such condition but only to accept it.
Even if forgetfulness is not really life-threatening, it does not pay to just accept it. Forgetting trivial things can eat up precious time that could be focused on better things rather than making-up for forgetting about something.
Just keep your mind active. Do some mental activities that will refresh and boost your mind . Try to remember things by doing it again and again until it will absorb in your subconscious mind. This can help improving your memory.
Keeping the mind active is key to developing good memory. In contrast to inactivity of the mind, constant thinking of ideas and information that need to be recalled helps a lot in really embedding it into the brain.
When you exercise your mind in remembering short recalls , you are also eventually training yourself to remember those long recalls. There is this power of vision wherein you will look for details that pays you attention. Do not forget them. Then visualize how you will use these so that you can recall them in the future.
Once you are able to improve your short term memory, improving your long term memory will follow. You are exercising your mind and the more you exercise it, the more active it becomes. Absorbing details will be faster since you are able to focus your mind on the information at hand.
For example, when you are introduced to a person for the first time, believe that you are going to meet that person again soon. That’s one way of making sure you do not forget names. Have a good look at their faces and make sure to associate their name with their face.
Some are doing this daily. They have that “To do list” for that day to follow. By doing this, you are training your mind to be alert and active throughout the day until such time you will just realize that you will not be anymore needing that “to do list” everyday.
Consistently applying these techniques will lead you to develop a routine of thinking. Making your mind active and training it to focus on one item instead of many things at once is a sure start to becoming less forgetful.
