2. Quote of the Week

"Every day, in every way, I'm getting better and better." - Emile Coue


3. Visualization: Daydreaming With a Purpose

Visualization. Athletes use this technique to gain their best performance. Musical artists take full advantage of it too. The good news is, it can work for something as simple as studying for your next test, or even in everyday life.

What exactly is visualization? Briefly, it is making a mental image of something, whether it be an activity or a group of facts. You may have seen an athlete sitting with his or her eyes closed prior to competing. Chances are, they aren't catching a quick siesta, they're visualizing. They are going through a winning race or game, seeing in their mind every stride, every motion, that it takes to perform to the best of their abilities. Similarly, a musician will visualize every note played or sung to perfection. Some might call it daydreaming with a purpose.

You might be wondering how this could possibly help you study for your next test. Well, the same principles of visualization can be used to memorize facts, or understand a process. Take, for example, a history test, where you need to memorize important information about the voyage of The Mayflower. You may need to remember that it landed at Cape Cod on November 11, 1620. We now commemorate Remembrance Day or Veterans Day on that date. Picture the pilgrims disembarking wearing poppies to remember that date. See in your mind the year being written in a diary. Try to really visualize these events instead of just memorizing them.

Or how about a biological process, such as the human respiratory system. If you want to remember how oxygen travels into your body, see in your mind as the oxygen travels in through the mouth and nose, then carries on through the larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchial tubes, lungs, and so on. Find each of these on a picture of the human body so you can truly see the oxygen passing through them in your mind.

Visualization can be used in these and many other ways. The next time you are introduced to someone new, take a minute to silently picture their face alongside a plaque with their name written on it, or shaking hands with other people you know of the same name. This should help you to remember those important, or not so important things.

4. Questions and Answers

How do you use your memory well?

Action is the key to good memory. People who have good memories are very active mentally. They use many skills to make memory work. We will begin with a brief explanation of how your memory works so you can make your memory work better for you.

Memory comes from actions you take to store, remember, and use information you have learned. Like a computer, information must be entered through your eyes, ears, touch, taste, smell and then acted on to store it. Once stored, you must take some action to retrieve it. So, memory includes two kinds of action - action to store and action to remember or recall.
