How do you improve your memory in the most natural if not in the easiest way?

Question

Im in the thirties but i can say that im not still that old to lose sight of what i do. SImply at times, I just failed to remember what im to do specially if its important or where i put my things. I tried doing a "list to do" but even that I also failed to update. I know I'm busy at times but it's not a reason as to why I should forget things...What is the most effective way to enhance memory and maintain being sharp. Please advise....

Answer 1

I'm going to begin with something I just said in my last post, and this has to do with improving memory...you'll see.

Whenever people tell you that eyesight cannot improve permanently, do not believe them. They need to try something first before they say it doesn't work, otherwise they're not being truly scientific. Real science means to try something first before determining whether you are sure of something. If you are taught that x implies y in school, and others tell you that x is y because science tells them so, that is NOT being scientific. How do they know for sure x is y unless they try it first? People (including doctors) are merely repeating to you what they've been taught to believe, rather than what they've tried. This is not true science.

Here is something that I know really does work... I've tried this and have been convinced beyond doubt that this really does work; and that's because Snellen eye charts do not lie. What I tried is called the Bates method. It's been disregarded by modern day doctors who are not of the scientific type, but I've found that my memory has improved greatly while doing this method. The reason is because there is a correlation among memory, imagination, and eyesight. When you are able to imagine something perfectly, your eyesight improves, and your memory also improves. Don't believe me?

When an image is blurred, it is harder for the mind to recognize, record, and recall the image. Dr. Bates, the man behind the method, was as high in the optometry world as one could get during his time, he taught other optometrists for 15 years before becoming a heretic, and for good reason. Of course, if Bates discovers that everyone suddenly has the ability to heal their own eyes, including diseases of the eye, what are ODs supposed to do? They have two options:

1) Accept that Dr. Bates is correct, let everyone know, and then go out of business. No one needs glasses. No one needs to make regular visits to the eye doctor. Tough choice. Keep their money/jobs or let everyone know and lose their jobs?

2) Keep their jobs intact, allow people to remain suffering. Expel Dr. Bates from his teaching position, and have him publicly ostracized to protect their jobs. The "corrective lenses" industry profits about $300,000,000,000 per year nowadays.

Which choice do you think the ODs would've gone for? You may be surprised.

I'm curious, what is your refractive error? Do you know that when vision worsens, it's because of an emotional defense mechanism? Just like people become numb to painful realities, the brain has a memory of how things should appear and it numbs itself to reality. It evades reality and creates blur so you do not have to face reality. If you think this is crazy, think twice about it.

The thing is, Dr. Bates found a way to relieve or eliminate refractive errors and just about any disease or condition of the eye, including cataracts, strabismus, retinal detachment, macular degeneration, and even blindness. It all had to do with a flaw in a theory from 1855 that's still being taught nowadays to the eye doctors in school. It would seem unlikely because they should be on top of things, but why can't they tell you exactly why eyeball shape varies and changes as you get older? Ask any eye doctor that question... they cannot answer it conclusively. They may say genetics causes eyeball shape to vary but at best it'd still be a guess.

Dr. Bates was also able to cure mental retardation. I have a feeling he's correct because my memory improved drastically while doing the method, and I have never found anything better what Dr. Bates taught for improving the memory.

I know all this sounds hard to believe. I know it's anecdotal, but compared to others who have never tried something and then say it doesn't work, I have tried it and can testify it really does work.

Best of luck.

Answer 2

1. Adequate sleep. Sleep actually reinforces learning and memory, provided there's enough of it.

2. Mental exercise. It's not enough to just try and remember things, one needs to do use one's mind actively. Logic puzzles, mathematics and memory games are some ways to do this. Focus is important.

3. Stop/reduce caffeine intake.

4. Multivitamins, natural food supplements.

Answer 3

The best possible way to improve all mind functions is meditation. Meditation is a form of hypnotic state. Positive hypnotic states will improve your mind dramatically while negative hypnotic states will have a negative effect on the mind. Things like movies, TV, and video games are forms of negative hypnotic states. Posting on Yahoo Answers is the top of the list of negative hypnotic states.

do cross words, word search, etc.... and no offense, but i doubt your brain could be full, you can never "fill" up your brain, we have found tons more things that when you were young you could only imagine, new inventions are found every day, now we practically don't have to do anything at all, let alone remember anything because frankly we don't need to remember anything, we have things that will do it for us.... but ya sorry i got carried away, but do puzzles, rubix cubes, all that stuff
