But most of them havent realized that they have a memory problem. Neither do they know a simple but important fact: Memory can be improved. If youll just accept that, the following will show you how. First, relax. if you are over worried about remembering something, youll forget it. If you keep telling yourself that your memory is bad, your mind will come to believe it and you wont remember things. When you forget something, dont follow up with saying like Oh, my god! I always forget things! Such words will have a bad result on you and your memory. But relaxing isnt enough. To improve your memory, youll need to take an active role. Like your body, your memory can be made strong through exercise. Look for opportunities to exercise your memory. For example, if youre learning a language, try to actively remember a lot of new words. If you dont take notice of things actively, you wont remember them.
