Hello everybody how are you today it’s been wonderful day. Today let’s get further to our topic how to increase your memory. I am going to tell you about the first applied method to sharpen your memory.This method is been named as “link method of memory”.
I will show you how to use this method to remember (say) list of 15 items backward and forward. In this method as the name suggest you have to make some ridiculous links between each item in the list you want to remember.Although you will agree that you never before could have remembered fifteen items after reading them only once, you will able to do it easily by using link method of association.
Here are the fifteen items you are going to remember:
1. carpet
2. paper
3. bottle
4. bed
5. fish
6. chair
7. window
8. flower
9. cigarette
10. nail
11. typewriter
12. shoe
13. pen
14. donut
15. car etc.
Kindly take a pen and paper note the list of items above and start your first lesson with me. Just follow my steps, do some practice and believe me you will be always thankful to me.
Now let’s get your hard work in fruits.The list of fifteen items must noted by you sequentially. Let’s make ridiculous mental pictures or associations of these fifteen items. It is important to remember that you must actually try to see the ridiculous pictures in your mind’s eye. This is esy since we can think with pictures anyway.Try to see it to just a split of second and you’re done with half battle won.
It is assumed that you already know the carpet i.e. (remember). The new item is paper that you want to remember.
Let us make a ridiculous picture between carpet and paper. For example : Picture your carpet at home made out of paper, see yourself walking on that paper carpet and feel paper init crinkle under your foot. See this in your mind’s eye.The picture must be silly and ridiculous. As you have done 1st association stop thinking about that and move on the next association. Now link paper to bottle,see yourself reading gigantic bottle instead of the paper,or you might picture bottle made of paper instead of glass.Let’s move on now link bottle to bed. Do not picture bottle lying on the bed as it is not ridiculous picture. Instead, see yourself sleeping in a gigantic bottle instead of a bed. All you need is a silly picture. Move on the next item that is fish. Associate fish to bed. See a gigantic fish sleeping on your bed as you moved to sleep. Move to the next item, but kindly see the picture for a split of second and it must be silly.Next item is chair.
See yourself fishing chair instead of catching fish or see a big fish sitting on your chair.Now move on and link a window to a chair.
Just see that you are violently throwing chairs of you're home outside through a big window or see throwing of you're chair through a closed window.
"IMPORTANT"::before we move further to link all other items let's review ...........Think of a carpet, What does carpet made you think of ? think........bullseye.......
it made you think of paper by which you're carpet was made.
What does paper remind you of ? think what was that of which you're item was made instead of glass, you guessed it right it was bottle.
Now that gigantic bottle was sleeping on you're-----.Bingo a bed.
What was link of you're bed which made it wet............ think ofcourse fish.
What were you fishing instead of fish ?uhhhhhh.......yeah a chair...
What you're chair linked to ? a .......window.
Fine if all your associations were ridiculous and if you actually saw them in you're mind with me so far. If you didn't remember one or two,kindly go back make that association more ridiculous enough.HERE are four rules that will help you to make ridiculous associations.
Let us began with that four rules that will help you to make ridiculous pictures.
1. picture the items out of proportion .Think them larger than life.The word gigantic will help you to make think out of proportion.
2. picture the items in action whenever possible. I have suggest you the example of the throwing chairs through windows which was something in action. Make it somewhat violent.
3. always think in large numbers , everything you picture should be in the quantity,bcoz quantity helps you to memorize easy.
4. Last is to just substitute, as when i gave you the example of you catching the chairs instead of fish.So now back to our previous problem we had remembered window. Now new thing is the flower so try to form a ridiculous association between window and flower. you might see window growing in your garden instead of flowers.Make it large in numbers and try to see them in action. You may also see when you have open window of your house thousands of flowers hit your face and hurting you.
So now new piece of information is cigarette now our task is to associate cigarette to the flower.
Try to see you are smoking a flower instead of cigarette or try your own ridiculous picture. Remember after you associate give a pass and try to see that picture for a moment.
Our new item is nail . As you have just remembered cigarette .So try to make a ridiculous association between cigarette and nail. You can just see yourself hammering a cigarette into the wall instead of a nails. Select the picture take a pause, see it for a moment and you are done. Now as you have remembered nail you're other item is a typewriter,try to make something ridiculous and funny association between to them. You may see as you type your typewriter , your hands are been hurt because the keys of the type writer are not keys but are big nails.
Come to the next item which is shoe , since you already remember typewriter form a ridiculous association between typewriter and shoe. Just see you are walking around the streets wearing you're typewriter instead of shoe.
Since now you have remembered shoe, link it to our new item which is pen. Now can you write with your shoes in your hand…..no…. cool that can be your ridiculous association. Just see yourself writing with your shoe instead of pen….Move to your next link which is donut, try to link donut with pen. Just see yourself eating a donut shaped pen and ink falling to your face. You even can see your own visualization which ever you like the best. Now try to link donut to car , see a large donut is driving your car or see a big monster donut has eaten your car….
Try to see the image for a moment…..If you have just followed my steps right after right you will have no trouble in remembering those item in sequence… Kindly once review all the post of my which are related to the link method of memory….. and after reviewing now the fun begins…….You would be amazed with your new and wonderful memory….. What was the thing your carpet made of, which crinkled as you walked on it ? yeah…a paper.
Paper- What was that thing which was made of paper?...yeah a bottle.Bottle- You were sleeping in a gigantic bottle instead of…….. yes a bed.Bed- What was the big thing that was getting you’re bed wet all along…. Yes a fish.
We were on our item fish, so my question is on which of your thing the giant fish was sitting…..yeah it is chair, so you remembered. Where were you throwing your chair that broke the glass…. Yeah it was window.Windows- windows were growing in your garden instead of a ? uhhh…… ya a flower.
And you were smoking a flower instead of…. Uuhh…. you guessed it right, it was cigarette. You were hammering cigarette into wall instead of yes… yes it is nail.
Why were you hurt by nails, yes because your typewriter keys was made of nails, so you remember typewriter. On the place of which item you wear typewriter in your feet, that's great its a shoe. You were writing with shoe instead of..... pen. Why were you eating a circular pen ya bcoz it reminded you of donut, you drive donut instead of think, think....... ya its a car.Did you answer all these questions ? if you did ,you realize what you have done, don't you ? You've remembered fifteen items in sequence... If you have not remembered, go back and stregthen that particular association.
Is your memory improved ?
Do you got improvement in your memory?
This was my first tip on How to improve your memory?
This tip was named as the link method of memory…….
If you have seriously followed my previous posts, you will have no problem in the further of my posts on, some of the mind blowing and adventurous tips to get a true trained memory.
Those who have followed my steps right way, have able to remember any list of item forward and backward.
So I suggest to them the principle of “practice makes perfect”, for many of you this will be an advanced step to the personality development, for some it may be a right step to give your studies a high.
This will boost your confidence level to a height which you have lost with the old bad memory.
Remembering number of items is immaterial, you can remember as many items as you want until you make a good association….
Now you can show off to your friends! Have a friend call and list anywhere from 10 to 20 items.
You show that you can remember them forward and backward.
“IMPORTANT NOTE:”>> now it’s the right time for you to go back and take again test number 1.
Compare it with your previous score and see the magic of memory you have boosted in yourself…
As I am not in a mood to start a new topic on “How to remember speeches” , my further topic will make you even a good and better person…..
Thank you for your patience reading , do come back for the excitement.
