How I Was Able To Improve My Memory With Photographic Memory

Photographic memory can be a scary phrase to someone like me who just wants to improve my memory. When people say 'photographic memory' I immediately conjour up images of savant's or highly intelligent humans who leave us gobsmacked with their ability to take in information and then recall it at will.

I've learnt that we are all born with a photographic memory, but as we grow up we lose that ability as we take on and learn new skills in our lives, such as reading.

However, that aside, the point still remains that we do have the ability to firstly just improve our memory and then ultimately develop photographic memory.

There are many courses you can do (which is what I did, I did the mental photography course by Zox Pro) which take your thinking and your brain to a whole new level, or there are simple exercises that you can do to improve your memory.

I started out just wanting to use my brain a bit more, so I would do the sudoku in the newspaper. At first it took me a while to grasp how they work but once my brain got used to the problem solving of sudoku's I was able to do more and more difficult one's. And so I moved on to crosswords.

This is what I needed to do to improve my memory. I could have stayed doing that and kept increasing my skills but I decided to take the plunge and do a full on course that would teach me more sophisticated techniques for improving my memory and developing photographic memory. But that's for another blog post.
