NLP & Hypnosis Mental Tricks To Sharpen Your Concentration

By: Alan B. Densky, CH

In today's fast paced society, we are constantly learning new information and we need a better memory to recall everything. Students need a better memory for study and doing well on examinations. Most people need a better memory to be good at their career, and we all need better memories to remember important dates and ideas. However, most people have difficulty remembering new facts and ideas. Memory problems often transpire as we age, but there are many factors that impair our memories, such as fatigue, stress, depression, and difficulty concentrating. Fortunately, there are a myriad of ways to improve your memory using easy mnemonic devices and hypnotherapy and memory enhancement.

Mnemonic devices are helpful memory retention techniques. They come in the forms of words, pictures, or any other associations that help you link concepts and information together. Acronyms are a popular mnemonic device formed using the initial letters of words or parts of words in a name or phrase. For example, let's say you need to remember a shopping list of soap, cheese, salsa, eggs, and ham. You might come up with the acronym "CHESS" for cheese, ham, eggs, soap, and salsa. The acronym and the effort you put into thinking of it help you remember the list.

Acrostic sentences are much like acronyms. Acrostics are useful for remembering ordered lists or sequences of events. In an acrostic, you use the initial letters, syllables, or words of a phrase to remember a different message. One acrostic students learn in mathematics is "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally" to remember the order of operations (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction).

Another famous mnemonic device is known as the "Method of Loci." This method was used in ancient times to memorize speeches. In this method, you link information to visual cues along a path. First, you think of a physical route you are familiar with, such as a walk through your house or the commute to work. Imagine yourself moving along this route, and identify landmarks that you pass by. Each landmark will correspond to something you need to remember. Once you have established your path and landmarks, you mentally associate a piece of information with each landmark.

Another technique is the "chunking" method of memorization. This method is valuable in memorizing a series of numbers, such as social security numbers, phone numbers, and dates. For example, you probably remember your social security number as three sets of three digits, or a set of three, two and four digit numbers. Using the chunking technique, you break up a sizeable amount of information into "chunks" that are easier to manage and remember. You can also organize information into categories to help you remember more complex information.

Now that you know these methods, you can use them when you are attempting to remember information. To successfully form a memory, concentrate on what you need to remember, taking a few seconds to process the information. Eliminate distractions from your environment that take your focus away from what you need to remember. Write down the information, read it aloud to yourself, and try to engage all of your senses when you are learning new information. If you can experience or associate the information with all of your senses, you will remember it better.

Stress may interfere with your ability to concentrate and remember information, so you must relax! To cope with stress, you may be interested in using hypnotherapy to improve concentration, memory and recall abilities. Although memorization tricks are useful, stress and lack of concentration are the top reasons why people struggle with memory problems and can restrain your success using the techniques. If anxiety and concentration issues are causing your memory problems, you can use hypnotherapy to improve memory and recall abilities significantly. Your memory will be enhanced by combining memorization tricks with hypnotherapy and memory improvement techniques.

Hypnosis memory improvement techniques can help you relax and concentrate on information. Hypnosis and memory tricks help improve your short-term memory by increasing your awareness, so you will not forget things such as where you left your wallet or keys. Hypnosis and memory enhancement can also help you overcome stress that interferes with your memory, such as anxiousness before a test or a presentation at work. Many students experience test anxiety, but this can be overcome by hypnosis therapy. Similarly, many people "freeze" and forget things during public speeches, a problem that can also be overcome by self-hypnosis memory improvement techniques.

Hypnotherapy is the best way for people to commit information to memory because it helps you relax and increases the ability to concentrate. You can make hypnotherapy and your memory work together to eliminate your memory problems. Someday, hypnotherapy and memory may become inseparable as people discover how hypnotherapy can make their lives better.
