Do you have a sharp memory?

Thanks for the participation. Can you tell me on what are those things you do to balance yourself with different things. Good for you that you remember the place. There are times, I can remember the place and there are times I cannot. What I just remember is what I did there. However, I can remember the place and how I have been there, but after few days or months, I cannot recall it anymore.

Thanks for being generous on your response. I agree with you completely.

Well, to balance out things, one should be sensitive of their surroundings. Being over focused tends to make you good on one thing only and bad on the other things. Being versatile and sensitive to other details other than the thing that you are focusing will surely balance out the way you think and will surely help your memory remember other details too other than what you are focusing on. Maybe, you are too focused on the activity that you did in that place that you overlooked the other details such as how to get into that place or where is that place. Is it that? As for me, I am now trying to be sensitive of my surrounding and try to loosen out a bit on the things that I focus on. I am always too tight before when I am focused on something. Also, being more observant with the surroundings and other people or places around will surely help.

Wow, it is good that you never forget you are married and you have a husband. It is funny but sometimes, people tend to forget they are already married. I say that because they still do things as if they are still single and tend to neglect that they have husband or wife and children to take care of.

I am really sorry for that...I have rough time that is why I cannot participate as much as I could and I can.

Oh! I think it's alright to forget your meals but hope it will not come up to the point of forgetting that you are married and have children to be taking care of. Because if that will happen? Your family is in pity and disaster.. Hope it won't happen to me..

It is true that I can remember all those things that I want to remember like birthdays and other special occasions. I agree with you that we can remember anything we want to remember and can forget easily those things which is of not that significant to us.While I was reading this post, it suddenly reminds me of taking down notes so as not to forget things.

So from now on wards, you need to note down the important things.

I also met some people who might be older than you and they have good memories. I envy them and I hope I can have strong memory just like them once I reach their age.

I can see now that you are very attentive.I think I need a lot of practice to be like you. Thanks for participating.

hi poniface, yes I think so that I must spend some time meditating as I observed that is has been a long time that I cannot pay much focus to some things. I did that last year and it was good. I have some health problems and a friend told me to try yoga. I don't know about that and he told me just to search it on youtube.

While responding to the posted discussions here, I am thinking if our health has a relation with our memory. I am quite anemic and I am wondering if that has an effect on how we remember things. What do you think?

I think you are a busy person too like me. However, when it comes with meetings and seminars, I cannot forget it. If I have an appointment to one person, I will surely remember it. But when it comes to other things, I am very poor.

Yes and I do want to know if there are some solutions on what I am experiencing.

Thanks katrina. I will do my best to do what you said to me. However, I do not like taking up medicines or vitamins made from science. I want to do natural things that can help me with my memory like keeping diaries. I will be glad if you can tell me what foods to eat that will surely boost my memory. Thanks a lot!

Well, in going to some important places, I tend to tell to myself how to go to that particular place. I keep on remembering the streets and landmarks. I can keep that in my mind for few days but after that, I will tend to forget it. I don't know why I cannot store that for a long time. Another thing was that when I caught my student cheating. After couple of hours, I can no longer remember how I caught him cheating.It like as if it was erased soon on my mind. That is one thing that gives me so much frustration.

I had sharp memory too when I was your age. However, now there are lots of things which I think, are affecting me a lot.

Good for you my friend. However, I can consider those things which will not require me to drink any medicines as I came from serious illness. The doctors gave me so much medicines and the experienced was very bad that I refrained myself from drinking again any kind of medicine except herbal medicines.

I am like that too especially if I have tons of things to do. I can say that I am very clumsy and because of that, I lose my things sometimes. Maybe I can do some yoga in order for me to have focus.

Yes, you are right! We have to work on things so we can remember it. We must give focus on it. Unfortunately, I think that I am still on the process of adjusting between my work and my study. There are times that I am very busy that I tend to make a bonding with my family and friends.

I am happy to hear that from you. Were you born with that gift? Or you are just working hard to maintain a good memory? I asked the second question as I am curious about things which I can do just to improve mine and also for the benefits of others who are suffering from that problem too.

I can relate with that. Sometimes, it seems to me that I am a very disorganized person. When I speak, it is not clear and I think, it is because what is in my mind is not organize too.

That is a big problem to me. I wish we can both find ways on how to cope up with that problem. That is why I posted this discussion on mylot. I know that this will not give benefits to me alone but also for other people who has same problem as mine. Thanks for participating.

Thank you for the response megosky.I am a working student and have lots of things to do which is related to my work and study. My mind is always busy. I think that is one factor why I cannot pay attention much on other things.

Maybe, it is because you know that the exam is very important. I am also like that too. Like what has been posted earlier, we tend to remember those things which are of importance to us and forget those which are of less significance.
