losing memory

Well my friend, This is the difficult task which every student finds himself/herself in getting concentration on studies. Mind is alway a master of you, To become master of your mind its not easy task. There are serveral ways which can be acheived to increase the concentration level, but this comes through daily regular practise. To remember what u read, try to map the subject matter to any incident you remember earlier. So when you remember the incident, it indirectly points to subject matter where u can remember. Also try to match subject points to colors/ short jargons.. I used to do this when I was studying.. To improve the concentration power.. Below are few exercises...what I feel is bit difficult but can be practiced - Initially you can practise reading an newspaper article only once and then try to memorize what u had read. - After u have made progress in the above step, then count the number of words in the article in one run and verify later that u count is indeed correct.. - Then u can start meditating imagining what you visualize in your mind.. - Then u can start to visualize few colors which u like.. and try to view them as long as u can. - U can observe few objects for 3 minutes without any other thoughts and visualize it by closing your eyes.. - Try to Meditate without any thoughts in your mind.. i.e a bank mind.. This is the ultimate level of attaining concentration where u have mastered your mind. The above steps r indeed not easy.. Bit very difficult.. But the results are far better. I could feel the difference within 3 days.. I was able to handle much pressure work easily.. I was able to extend strain full job for more than 3 hrs a day.. All u need a determination and will power to increase the concentration. Best of luck

Helo srmailtosr, First of all, keep in mind studies have shown that students that have a healthy breakfast can learn easier in school. If you are not having breakfast, or you dont mind alot about it, you should start having a better breakfast. Also try to sleep well, its kinda bizarre that im telling you this since i feel i have insomnia. But when you wake up with alot of energy and consume a breakfast with carbohidrates, proteins, and vitamins it is easier to respond to outside estimulous and therefor its easier to learn. As tips i would suggest you to increase your consume of Nuts, and Fish. They both have important oils and compounds that help your brain work in a more fluid way. And you can try that memory game where you mix the cards and then you have to open them finding its pair. I used to have bad memory too, but since i start to play that game over and over in my family i have improved my memory. Hope that helps, and good luck Srmailtosr
