10 New Tricks To Improve Your Memory

Research says these tips can boost your memory:

• Closing your eyes does improve recall of information. And trust your memory: double checking makes you trust your memory less and reduces how vivid your memories are.

• Gesture when taking in new information and take a nap after you learn new things.

• Bet on your ability to remember things. (This makes it fun too.)

• Pictures of car accidents! Looking at emotional photos after taking in information led to greater recall.

• Be curious. It helps you retain the things you learn. (If you read this blog, you probably have this one covered.)

• When trying to recall stuff, match the body position and emotional expression you had when you learned it.

• Go for a walk. A walk outdoors is even better. Or just look at photos of natural settings.

• Say things out loud as you learn them. Yes, talking to yourself like a crazy person can improve your life.

• Expressive writing can increase working memory. (It also has a ton of other great benefits.)
