This Better Memory Plan has been devised over many years experience.
I am a retired doctor and developed this method to help myself remember the people, names, illnesses and all the other detail that a good family doctor needs to know.
I have trained senior executives from major international companies, the armed forces and government departments.
The course is, like all the most effective things in the world, quite simple.
It just needs a set plan and the encouragement to continue it because, with the best will in the world most of us fail to keep up good resolutions without this help.
The first part is to improve your powers of observation.
When you really start to look around you, you will be amazed at what you have failed to see over long periods.
This adds tremendous interest to your life as you start to ask yourself why things are as they are.
Look at people and try to guess their occupation, background and other details.
Look at buildings and think of their architecture and origins.
Look at the natural elements around you and notice the changes with the seasons.
Observation is more easily improved with two or more people working together.
We all love to be recognised and remembered.
If you can do this to other people it will make a big difference to your life.
Use your imagination to see people and their faces in an exaggerated cartoon way.
This makes them stand out in your mind more, and if you use similar methods to remember their names you will soon become much more adept at names and faces.
A healthy body and active brain needs good food.
More and more studies have been coming out recently to show the beneficial effects of good food on the mind and memory.
This is particularly important in children and students but is very true throughout life.
The wrong foods will have a seriously negative effect on your mental acuity.
Good healthy foods need not cost any more, or be more difficult to prepare.
The active brain benefits from regular rest periods, rather than just one sleep at night.
The ability to power-nap for periods of between 2 and 20 minutes is enormously refreshing.
It takes practice to learn to relax fully into a power-nap and to wake yourself up at your pre-set time, but it is well worth learning.
We all suffer stress of one form or another and good stress-management techniques can turn situations from being a negative problem to being a positive advantage.
Basic techniques are easy to learn and to put in to practice, they just need the knowledge and encouragement to do so.
Aerobic exercise is essential in order to keep adequately fit and healthy.
The simplest form is a regular walk.
The only essential is that it is a form of exercise which you will keep up on a regular basis and therefore must be enjoyable.
This is best done with the discipline of a companion to encourage and add interest.
Speed-reading is a great time saver, and surprisingly it improves retention of facts.
You will concentrate more over a shorter time with speed-reading with the result that you will remember more of what you have read.
You will also be able to read much more! You can practice these techniques on your own or follow them on the website set up by Dr Stewart and subscribe to his freee-zyne by clicking on the address in the resource box.
A six month course with instructions and encouragement sent at fortnightly intervals will cost only £52 and will immediately develop greater fields of interest and open new opportunities.
