Research indicates that the way we think—that is, the way we use our customized thinking—will determine whether we remember or forget information. How we think will determine whether we build health or damage into our brains! If you want to remember successfully, you need to think in such a way as to involve your dendrites, the little branches on the top of neurons in the brain that resemble Christmas trees (see Image 20.1), and not just the synaptic connections between nerve cells (see Image 20.2). Chances are you may not have thought about memory or your thinking in terms of synapses and dendrites, but this is what you are about to discover in this chapter. Why? Because accurate thought-building leads to mind and brain health, which leads to success and happiness. Theories about how things work influence our mental health, lifestyles, education, and work. When we use our customized thinking, correct mindsets, and the technique in this section, we will build strong dendritic memories, which, trust me, are good for us!

Incorrect perceptions from incorrect theories about memory and learning (the neuromyths discussed earlier) will have a negative influence on how you perceive learning, which affects how you learn. In light of the fact that memory forms the core of your consciousness and the belief systems that make up you, correct perceptions of how memory works will also help you understand the importance of thinking in your customized mode. This is empowering because you will begin to see, through the lens of science, that you have control over your memory and life and can always change and improve. Understanding memory is a crucial part of your mental self-care regimen.
