I hope I can remember this advice...I’ll bet it works!
Interesting.
Odd how contagious the “I can’t remember” syndrome is when in a group.
I’ve heard about this somewhere, but I just can’t remember....;^D

JUst teasing!
Thanks. I need all the help I can get.
In a related message, it is better to use positive words when giving directions to children.
“Don’t go near the edge” is heard as “go near the edge.”
“Stay away from the edge” or “watch where you walk” gives a positive direction to the child’s brain to process.
An idea I have been using all my life … taught to me by my grandmother. I have often thought of it as folklore, but it does work … who am I to argue. ;-)
That sounds useful. Positive thinking.
Now, if only there was some sort of device to remind me how to spell “mnemonic”.

Let me try that. The guy in the White House...whatshisname...O’Commie, Obamanable...It will come to me....
Seriously, sounds like a good trick!
You are so right!!!
I’m so old I can’t do it anymore, but memory is so bad that I thought I did anyway.
Good advice. I actually developed a training seminar on how the brain thinks that covers this among other topics. The issue is similar to when Winnie-the-Pooh goes to his “Thotful Place” and forces himself to “think . . . think, think . . think.” Usually, he doesn’t come up with anything productive.
When we try to force our thoughts, the harder we try, the worse the outcome. When we say “it’ll come to me”, we are relegating the issue to our subconcious to process while our concious mind focuses on the conversation at hand. There is a physiological component to this that also plays into the whole issue and involves stress factors and reduced blood flow to the brain.
It's nice of you to take time out of your day to give the rest of us pointers on how to get through it.
Ahh, the Power of Positive Thinking. It’s one of the few valuable things I took away from my Amway experience.
Unfortunately, I sometimes suffer from Bongheimer’s disease.
When I can not recall a name, I silently repeat the alphabet. I will often get to the first letter, and the name will come to me. I occassionally have to go through this twice. It works for me.
Profound. Thank you.
Wow!!! Thanks, my friend. I will begin to practice that RIGHT NOW.
Blessings!!!
I can remember my husband's army serial number , but not what I had for breakfast this morning.
