HOW SHE RESTORED HER MEMORY
A woman of seventy-five had always been proud of her ability to remember .Like everyone, she forgot things now and then,but she paid no attention.However ,as she got older, she began to notice these occasions and worry about them.Each time she forget something,she said to herself,"I must be losing my memory because of my age".
As result of this negative autosuggestion, more and more names and events slipped her mind.She was close to despair.Then,fortunately,she realized how she was damaging herself.She resolved to reverse the process.
Every time she felt the temptation to think."I am losing my memory."she stopped herself.More than that,she deliberately reversed the procedure.
Several times a day,she practiced induced positive autosuggestion.
She said to herself;
Form today onward,my memory is improving in every way.I will always remember whatever I need to know at every moment of time and point of space.The impression I receive will be clear and definite . I will retain them automatically and easily.Whatever I want to recall will immediately present itself in the correct from in mind.I am improving rapidly every day.Very soon my memory will be better than it has ever been before.
