Here are the 5 tips, which can improve our memorization skills.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Dont_lurk_away_from_sleep_and_exercise\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Don\u2019t lurk away from sleep and exercise<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes! Our brain needs exercise, just like your body. So, don\u2019t shy away from exercising. Exercise helps in the formation of new cells, boosts brain activity and helps neurons transmit more information. Therefore, you memorize better. Also, research suggests that sleeping well helps you retain information. So, sleep and exercise to memorize more!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Laugh_and_have_fun\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Laugh and have fun<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAll work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy,\u201d is a quote that applies to memorization as well. Laughing and having a fun time with your friends helps to broaden your memory, allows you to associate and ensures that you learn something new, which in turn improves your memory.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Reduce_stress\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Reduce stress<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stressing yourself about an impending examination or an upcoming interview will actually shorten your memorization capacities. In fact, stress attacks cells in the hippocampus region of the brain and therefore reduces the capacity for the formation of new memories. So, meditate, reduce your stress levels to gain more information, memorize well and retrieve older memories.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Eat_food_that_boosts_your_brain\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Eat food that boosts your brain<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eating good food, products rich in omega 3s, fruits, veggies and dairy products are like a tonic for the brain that allows you to memorize well.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Try_mnemonics\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Try mnemonics<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you heard about mnemonics? Well, these are excellent encoding techniques which allow you to improve your memorization capacities and increase your information retrieval capacities as well. Try these mnemonics for better memorization.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arrange all the information by finding something common between them. For instance, if you want to memorize symptoms of a particular illness, memorize them through a sentence where every first letter corresponds with a symptom.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try rhyming, i.e. use similar terminal words to remember things. This technique is especially useful for learning new languages.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Chunk and Organize the information. For instance, divide 10 digits into 3 chunks, this will help you remember them with ease. Organize information in smaller parts and sentences.<\/li>\n<li>Using imagery or the method of loci is an excellent way to learn things. For instance, if you are learning history, imagine the scene- imagine how the king reached a particular place and protected it from enemies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These tips will surely help you to improve your memorization capacities!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Memories?
