I used to believe that brain power was more of a term you gave to some Nasa Astronaut referring to how “brainy” they must already be to take on such a brain intensive training regime…
Truth is Astronauts are taught How to Develop their Photographic Memory as a compulsory part of their training. In order for them to be able to store and retrieve massive amounts of vital and intricate information, they certainly need this skill.
We can all decide to take on and hold more information. In fact you only have to put aside about 10 minutes a day to start developing your Photographic Memory and achieve outstanding results… it really is this easy.
For the most of us we may remember learning some Photographic Memory Skills at a very young age.
I remember how I learned to recognize the alphabet…my teacher would say “D” is for…Dog…I learned very quickly to use association to remember the alphabet this way, you probably did too.
So if we start to use association in everyday things as often as we can we will start to Develop Our Photographic Memory very rapidly indeed.
So Perhaps Start with something Simple…
For example if you are not so good at remembering names and you are about to meet a new group of people, first just try and remember as many names as possible
1. Look the person in the eye and repeat their name immediately. Hi “Roy” nice to meet you.
2. Try to repeat their name again at least once without sounding unnatural, “look Roy nice to finally meet you” or something…
3. Use some form of “visual” association immediately. For example…”Roy is a Boy” …maybe more creative than that…or you could imagine ROY tattooed on his forehead etc
The thing is you can make your own rules on how you do this … If you make it fun then chances are you will remember it easily.
So the next time you want to remember something attach some kind of feeling to it, this will help you when you need to recall it again. Once you use association – the brain then neatly stores it in the filing cabinet (memory) where it can easily be retrieved when called upon.
