You Have Short Term Memory?

Really, you can never remember, because . . . Why? . . .

Because you haven't tried hard enough, or made it fun, many times that's why. We all, unless our brains are damaged, have an excellent memory, we just don't exercise it. Is that you?

It's certainly NOT because we CAN'T. Not if we're like everyone else.

You haven't lifted a 50 lb. weight either, probably, but if you tried -- which means if you've exercised enough -- you probably could.

The same with your brain. If you tried -- which means if you exercise your brain enough -- you could remember everything you wanted to.

Normally, the reason you can't remember is because you haven't made a point to remember. The right point. The *motivating* point.

What if you needed to remember to pick up some items? You say to yourself, *I've got to remember to pick up my items after work.*

And that's as far as it goes. Big deal, huh?

How about if, instead, you said to yourself, *I've got to remember to pick up my items. If I don't pick them up, I won't be able to go on this wild date to the scary movie, and I was hoping to get really scared and spill my large Pepsi all over my items and I'd have to take buy more.* You know, something wild like that, that goes full circle and sticks in your mind.

You can even enlarge on it, by adding to the experience more things you need to remember.

"I've got to remember to pick up my items. If I don't pick them up, I won't be able to go on this wild date to the scary movie, where I would get really scared and spill my large Pepsi all over my new items and they'd get soggy and the colors would run, which reminds me I need to pick up some colors for my son, then go to the post office so I can pick up some stamps to put on his forehead, etc." What a visualization! Some might say it is silly, but you know what? Silly things stick in your mind!

Besides, why not be silly? Enjoy life, and build your memory at the same time.

The next time someone says, "I can't remember," say "Why not? Remembering is easy!" Then, show them how to "learn" to remember. Because you know what? It doesn't matter how old you are, you can always learn.

Yep. No matter how old you are, you can always learn . . . to remember.
