ESSENTIALS
Let's start with your attitude. Way too many people complain about their terrible memory. If you're one of them - knock it off.
Whether you know it or not, you damage your self-confidence and memory this way. Have you ever heard of a self-fulfilling prophecy?
Do yourself a favor and don't diminish yourself. Every time when you tell yourself that learning is difficult, your mind believes it.
And this one dreadful conviction taps unimaginable deposits of stress, which in its turn erodes your learning capabilities. And that's how a vicious circle becomes reality. You weren't born to be average. And believe me - you're not. Maybe simply, at some point of your life. something or someone blocked you. Education system? Parents? Friends?
You know that you're special. Show it to others! Your memory is already great, you just need to rediscover it. Discovering what you're capable of will shock you. It's like discovering intellectual HULK inside of you. And that guy doesn't fool around. He f***ing smashes.
FOR TODAY - TEST YOUR MEMORY
Let's run some test to establish our baseline.
Set your timer to 60 seconds and check how many of these words you can memorize within this time limit.
And don't worry if your result isn't great. It'll get better. You have my promise.
It's a bizarre shopping list of products which you're supposed to buy.
milk, cherries, shampoo, soap, flour, sugar, artificial beard, sunglasses, socks, fireworks, spade. frog, ball, carpet, chair, chocolate, beer, sanitary towels, onion, vinegar.
Write down your result.Your memory will be retested at the end of this course.You'll be amazed!
Tomorrow I'll show you how you can immediately boost your memory.However, remember one thing. We're building foundations. If foundations are inadequate, it is very, very expensive to underpin them later on.
That's why pay close attention to all the techniques you'll receive and make sure that you understand them thoroughly.
