Brain Booster: Understanding the advantages of mind mapping

A well-known quotation says, “It is better to see something once than to hear about it a thousand times.” That is correct and Mind-Map is really very useful in the process of Memory Enhancement. A mind map is often created around a single particular idea and thought, drawn as an image in the centre of a blank page, to which associated representations of ideas such as images, words and parts of words are added.

Mind Mapping is a useful and very effective technique and you must allow it to work for yourself. Mind mapping helps you think, analyze, collect knowledge, remember and create ideas. Also, it enables you to become a better thinker. It is usually created around a single thought, drawn as an image in the centre of a blank page, to which other associated representations of ideas such as images, words and parts of words are added. Major ideas are connected directly to the central idea as well as thought and other ideas then come out from those. 

Mind Mapping is useful for multiple reasons. Some of them are:

1. To structure relevant information with clarity.
2. To improve your ability to do comprehension effectively.
3. To inspire individuals to be more productive.
4. To improve a person’s memory and ability to retain information and data even at a later date.

Always an individual should remember the potential of his/her mind and memory. It is capable of much more than what we can imagine. We individuals must not rely solely on technology. 20-25 years ago; we remembered many phone numbers of not only family and friends but even outsiders but now we feed it in the mobile phone and rarely remember any number. I personally never save any number; I memorize them and plenty of them I remember. The more you use Memory Techniques effectively; the learning and recollecting becomes easier. Also, learn to relax, and avoid stress as much as possible. As a Chinese proverb saying is, “If you want to conquer the anxiety of life; live in the moment; live in the breath.” Relaxation is very essential to creating a stress-free life and it releases energy to learn better.
