Improving Study Habits, Memory, And
Concentration
By Chaplin Paul G. Durbin, Ph.D.
page 1 | page 2
Whenever you take an exam or when you desire to remember specific information, you are relaxed and calm. Memory comes to the conscious mind much easier when you are relaxed. Therefore, whenever you desire to relax, just close your eyes and take a deep breath. You breathe in relaxation and exhale tension. This relaxes you and enables you to recall the things you have learned. During an exam, if you come to a question, but do not recall it, just take a deep breath and think, "I know the answer to the question and I am able to recall it in a minute or two." Move on to the next question, and as you work on other questions, the answer comes to the question you had difficulty answering. If you need to go back to a question, you can say, "My mind is like a computer. What I have studied is in the computer. I visualize a computer keyboard and punch the recall button. As I do the answer comes on the screen of my memory." At the count of three, you come out of the hypnotic state. One: Study, remember, recall, Two: Study, remember, recall.
