How to Improve Your Memory

May 24, 2022 by Liz Carter

What is the best way to improve my memory?

Memory is the process of taking in information from the world around us, processing it, storing it and later recalling that information, sometimes many years later. Memory is essential to all our lives. Without a memory of the past, we cannot operate in the present or think about the future.

Types of memory

There are three main types of memory:

  1. Working memory: Working memory refers to the processes for temporarily storing and using information. Sensory information is stored for a few seconds in our brain.
  2. Short-term memory: Short-term memory allows us to remember pieces of information. It allows a person to recall information for a short time like 30 seconds.
  3. Long-term memory: Long-term memory refers to the storage of information permanently in our brain.

How does the brain store long-term memory?

Brain stores long-term memories outside the hippocampus and neocortex. Repeated or rehearsed information is stored in the brain in memory shelves, and it is recalled when needed. Memory refers to the psychological processes of acquiring, storing, retaining, and later retrieving information. There are three major processes involved in memory: encoding, storage, and retrieval.

Encoding: At first, the information presented to the brain is coded in the brain just like binary digits. Encoding is important as it makes memory capable of being stored.

Storage: After encoding, memory is stored in certain areas of the brain specified for the storage of information, that is called memory shelves.

Retrieval: Retrieval refers to getting information out of brain storage and recalling it. Retrieval can’t occur if memory is not stored in the brain as long-term memory. [Read more…]

Your Personal Goals: Still on Track? Did You Change Your Mind?

February 8, 2019 by Liz Carter

Assess if your goal is still important. If it is, figure out ways to re-engage in the process of working towards completion of this goal. Re-inspire yourself.
Sometimes when you set a personal goal (Example, January 1 resolutions), you are fired up and really motivated…… only to fade over time.  

Although this is often normal, it is seldom optimal.

Just for a moment, think back to the personal goals you set for yourself and your career at the beginning of this year.

How are you doing?

Are the same personal goals still relevant right now?
Did you already accomplish them?

Student Success Stories

Becoming a Certified Life Strategies Coach at the Spencer Institute has been a great way for me to grow my coaching business. I really liked that I could work full time while learning life coaching on my own time schedule. Now I have coaching clients, and also attract more psychotherapy clients who choose me because I can offer coaching in addition to psychotherapy.

Earning the Spencer Institute's Wellness Coach Certification was an excellent addition to existing education and experience. I now have a highly successful blog, healthy cooking business, cook books and much more. The sky is the limit.
