Why Don't You Try The Journey System?
Author: Shareen Aguilar

The journey system is one of many memorization techniques
recommended for long list of items, a word or phrase and even
lines and speeches. There can be a lot of distractions just by
recalling a set of information out of the top of your head
which can cause a person to pause for a while and force all
possible information the mind can retrieve at a given moment.

Problems such as this one can still be overcome. And if you're
the person who wants to keep your memorization and mental
ability in top shape; allow the creative side of your brain to
work with you. This just simply means that you're allowing your
creativity to work together with your memorization skills.

Creativity and visual senses are both effective and proven
medium for memorization enhancement. When the brain starts to
imagine, it sees visual forms and illusion; it then sees
colors, forms and images. Connecting all these elements
together means that you're using your brain's potential in all
three aspects, and in turn, the observation it gets out of each
vision is stored distinctively in the brain. This is how one can
easily remember which word goes next on the next line.

This is also the same basis for the memory enhancement, journey
system technique. The person imagines what he reads from a piece
of paper. In using the journey system for memorizing lines or
phrases or even just words; associate one keyword to the entire
line. Stop and dwell on each line, no need to hurry. Try to
imagine the words from the line as you would when you walk to
your office or friend's house. It's easy this way because you
can associate each keyword to something you're already familiar
with such as the big oak tree at the end of the street.

When you have it all arranged in place, you can wind it back in
your head and start recalling each key points you used in
association to something you already know. This way, you don't
need to force anything into your head when you want to remember
a word or a line. You'll just have to allow your mind to drift
back to the mental journey you made and let the words come out
of your lips.
