Judy Marcus - Memory Improvement Tips

A Valentine's Day Gift from Judy Marcus, Memory Lady, creator of the LOVE Memory Method

Here's a Valentine Gift to your BRAIN:  

Just email me at judy@memorylady.com and request 

your FREE copy of a 

Brain-Friendly Lifestyle Habit Checklist.

Life's better when you trust your brain to remember (and you can quote me on that)!

My strategy to keep your brain as strong as possible for as long as possible is to take the two-pronged, holistic approach.

Both steps are vital (and we have lots of fun practicing both in my WHERE ARE MY KEYS? workshops):

One is to use the LOVE Memory Method, an easy to learn, fun to use, unforgettable system that helps you remember anything and everything you choose to remember.  (I've written lots about this on my Blog, in my book WHERE ARE MY KEYS? and my Website www.memorylady.com)

The second is to live a brain-friendly lifestyle that allows you to keep away the mental cobwebs, increase your mental energy, and focus on where you want to place your attention.  (I've written lots about this too)

So make every day Valentine's Day for your brain.

And don't forget to email me at judy@memorylady.com and request your FREE Brain-Friendly Lifestyle Habit Checklist!  

You and your brain will be glad you did!

P.S.  Happy Valentine's Day!!!!!

Let's hear from you.

What do the LOVE Memory Method, Obama's Reggie Love, and my cousin Fred's wife Janet have in common?

Wouldn't you LOVE to have a great memory?

President Obama doesn't need to remember where he put his jacket, pen, or list of phone numbers.  He uses Reggie Love, his personal aid, to remember for him.  See (On the Court and on the Trail, One Aide Looms Over Obama - NYTimes.com)

• Love is Obama's system of brain assurance.  This frees the President to spend his mental energy on important matters of State.    
• My cousin Fred uses his wife Janet, the woman he loves, to keep track of where he put his keys and other belongings. 
• In lieu of having a Reggie Love or a Cousin Janet on your memory team, here's another approach:

You, too, can use LOVE to remember - in both business and every day life. 

Just as "Kleenix" is the generic word for "tissue", 

I hope to see "LOVE" as the

 generic, household word for "remember." 

As in "LOVE where you park your car", or "LOVE the name of the book you're reading, or "LOVE your best friend's cellphone number just in case your speed-dial's not available. 

I'm talking about the four-step LOVE Memory Method.  It's an acronym I created - to make remembering unforgettable.  It works for me when I use it.  It works for countless people around the world, and it can work for you, too.  

The word LOVE is an acronym for the four actions you need to take to capture, record and recall anything and everything you choose to remember, instantly, upon demand.  It's easy to learn, fun to use, and best of all, it works.

     This method works for anything you actively choose to remember.  Next time you meet someone new, apply the four-step LOVE acronym: 

• Look:  See the face, listen to the name, use your finger to write the name in your palm. 
• Overstate:   Think something outrageous about their name, i.e.  Sherrie Wolf. Imagine Sherrie chugging a bottle of Sherry while riding on the back of a dancing wolf. 
• Visualize:  Picture the outrageous image in your mind's eye on the movie screen right inside your forehead.
• Engrave:  Repeat this movie image every twenty minutes until it's firmly stored in your brain.

Those of you reading this article who don't yet "remember with LOVE" 

• can see a longer explanation in the December, 2007 archives of this blog.  
• can go to my website or Amazon.com to order a copy of my book, WHERE ARE MY KEYS?  
• can invite me to speak in person at your next event.    

In this fast-paced world, where our minds are scattered in so many directions, we need to take control of our memory.  And, life's better when we trust our brain to remember.

Yes, you can trust your brain to remember what you choose to remember, when you take the time to remember with LOVE. 

Let's hear from you.

How to Remember Phone Numbers: Increase your memory power, not your phone's

          Have you ever been asked for a phone number - perhaps even your own - and without even flinching, you immediately look it up on your cell phone?

           Quick – try this test. Touch dial – WITH YOUR FINGERS -  the ten most important phone numbers in your life – the numbers that you wouldn’t want to be lost in a personal or business emergency without – and the unlisted numbers that you couldn’t call information to get.

          If you can’t recall all of those important-to-you numbers – then take these positive steps right now to stretch and strengthen your “mental Rolodex”:

          At least once a week, physically punch in the vitally important core phone numbers. 

          Using only the speed dial on your phones may save you a few seconds per call, but consider this:  it gives the phone the good memory power, not you! 

          BLOG ON!  Please let me know what experiences you have with speed dialing and/or losing your cell phone.

       Please forward this blog to as many friends and associates as you wish.  Hopefully they'll become Memory Tipsters as well.
