Reconstructing The Mind In How To Sharpen Short Term Memory
November 20th, 2008

Let us cut to the chase. I am going to give you a list of ten names and I want you to first preview the names, and then read the names, and then say the names aloud.

The List:
Megan
Maggie
Sherry
Nikki
Candy
Chrissey
Paris
Krista
Lacey
Brandy

Again preview, read, read aloud, review and stop looking at the list of names to see how many you come up with. If you get all ten names down, then you are off to a good start sharpening your memory.

Next List:
Sarah
Monica
Jennifer
Penny
Amber
Miss Kay
Michael
Mel
Jerome
Jaclyn

Now follow the same steps as you did to remember the first series of names. After you master all ten names, I want you to rename all twenty names, by previewing again, reviewing, saying the names aloud. If you follow the steps, you are reconstructing your mind, sharpening the short-term memory, and preparing to remember. If you do things right you will have no problem naming all twenty names.

Reconstructing the mind is the process of strengthening the mind. As you reconstruct the mind, you can also use role-play to have a bit of fun, as well as build the memory. Let's give it a whirl.

Picture self in a room with figurative characters you have made up in your mind. Sit in a comfortable area of the room and carry a conversation with these people, as you draw from previous memories. You can also jump track and conjure up memories that never exist, which will associate valid memories. It's ironic; however, it does wonders to sharpen the mind.














Watch closely:
I am going to develop a memory. Unfortunately, most of my memories are trauma based, however I will try hard to recall a pleasant memory. I picture myself as a different person while sitting in a room of friends. The friends are discussing the game of chess. Chess is an associating word, which triggers my mind and takes me back to a time where I had the pleasure of beating one of the best chess players around. I had never played chess in my life, but watched closely as others played the game. On the first game I played, I beat my x-husband who is a very skilled chess player. This was an exciting time in my life, yet the memory continues to take me to Benton Harbor, Michigan where the game was played. As I look more into the picture disassociated memories associate, since I start to remember a man that made my life a living hell, yet this man was not my husband, but my husbands buddy.

The memories continue and unfortunately are very painful, yet I am not about to allow these people to control my memories or mind, therefore I look at the picture and memories carefully, but realize I have friends in the room who help me to cope with the memories visual to me now.

What just happen here is I role-played and reconstructed my own memories through a third eye, with the prime character being the star in the show. I have visuals of faces, visuals of sitting in the exact room where I played chess and so forth. I can picture the room clearly, which was cluttered since my x-husband is a slob.

As I look deeper, I see the red about the room, the couch, my x-husbands face, and his expressions, the table where the chess game was played on and so forth. Well, I guess that sums it up. Do you have those twenty names down pat, and sounding them aloud as we close
