In an automated world of devices, coupled with the distractions of daily life; it can be challenging trying to remember all manner of things: pin number, passwords, course work, software, occasions, and so on.

Yet, we can merrily sing along to our favourite tunes; effortlessly recalling the lyrics to songs, and often those we loved in our teenage years’.

So, an opportunity presents itself for you to cash-in to this helpful resource of yours; it’s your built-in free assistant.

Simply pick songs you like, or those that you can easily recall the words to, and over-dub them with the specific things that you need to remember. To start off with just hone into the chorus of one of your favourite songs, – so for instance I’d pick: “Denis ooh-be-do, I’m in love with you” from the well-known song, – Denis, by Blondie.

I use this one a lot, it’s great for remembering passwords and pin numbers with, due to the fast – paced beat. It’s also helpful for recalling a short shopping list with: “Strawberries for tea, and bread and milk”. Moreover, it automatically evokes a pleasant inside smile, and assists in melting away anxious feelings. It makes us feel back in charge of our busy, and cluttered minds. This is typically because us humans frequently manage our anxiety well in a work mode; less so in our personal lives. Very often we have put in so much time in our professional lives; that when we finally sign -off for the day: we can’t remember what items we need to buy for our dinner.

As you try folding in this pleasant technique, you’ll quickly find an increased sense of calmness and control. You could even find it moreish; so you may wish to try the memory- recall technique further by utilising more of the song.

It’s also a great tool to help you remember instructions and speeches, and it’s a fun way to help bolster your memory. It gives an enormous sense of relief too.

But, BEST of all you can use it for positive affirmations: singing is the best form of soul-nourishment, and the choice of song is entirely up to you.

Try it later today, pick: “I will survive”, by Gloria Gaynor, and simply sing instead: “I’ve got this day, and I’ll keep doing my best in every way”.

I so hope this helps improve your sense of control and clarity.
