There are three causes of forgetting that memory science strangely never mentions.
Oh sure, the scientists talk about short term memory and long term memory.
Retrieval failure and ineffective coding.
Motivated forgetting and memory loss due to brain trauma, not unlike the kind we learned about in this episode of the Magnetic Memory Method Podcast (and how to bounce back from it):
All important stuff.
But let me ask you this:
What About The Real Causes Of Forgetting?
To find out, you've got to be a bit of detective.
I'm going to suggest three of the biggest causes, but at the end of the day, you also need to seek out the causes in your own life.
Like a detective.
But the following three are widely unknown, and the best time to start ousting them from your life is now.
The first is simple:
It's general mental and memory fitness.
But the majority of people?
They're doing nothing about it.
And get this:
Not Exercising Your Memory Is A HUGE Mistake
Why?
Well, let me ask you something:
You know all those little slips all memory experts make from time to time?
They're nothing.
N-o-t-h-i-n-g.
Certainly nothing like the Garden of Oblivion featured on this Wiki page about forgetting some people make it out to seem:
Definitely not a problem compared to the mountains a person with decent memory skills can move when push comes to shove.

Look:
It's bad enough if you lie to yourself.
But lying to others?
That's a big problem.
Why?
Because those to whom you lie might actually hold you accountable to the things you tell them about your memory.
Never Ever (Ever!) Insult Your Memory
Look, I know it seems innocent enough, but telling people you have a bad memory is far from in.
In fact, it's a crime.
Why?
Because your thoughts matter and you should NEVER insult your memory.
How To Stop Lying About Your Memory
Instead of saying, "I can't remember" and things like that, try something else.
When memory "fails," try saying things like, "I'm sorry. I'm always exercising my memory. It'll come back to me."
I promise.
By doing this, you'll create an entirely new and more powerful relationship with your memory.
This new relationship will make you very happy and bring you immense success.
How To Chill Out And Remember More
Do you want to know why memory improvement seems like such a drag when others teach it?
Because they put so much pressure on making it happen.
No. Oh no. Please no.
We're not in a competition here, not in the Magnetic Memory Method universe.
Sure, the Magnetic Memory Method can help you win competitions. I'm happy to announce that my memory training has contributed to such triumphs not once, but twice:
That's a happy side effect, and one I'm proud of.
