Slow & Steady Wins
Concentrate on Module 5 during this entire week. Do your Daily Goals; reread the sections; relisten to the Videos and Audiobook excerpts. It takes the average adult four times through to really absorb the material and turn it into a new behavior. If you want positive results, rushing through the material (just because you can) may not provide the desired outcome.
Practice, practice, and practice the strategies you are learning. Get plenty of sleep so your brain has time to ‘consolidate’—
i.e., transfer—what you are learning from short term to long term memory. Drink plenty of water to keep your brain hydrated and able to generate the mental energy you need. Remember, your brain’s thinking cells (neurons) are estimated to be about 85 percent water. Dehydration can be lethal in brain central.
“But I don’t like water,” you moan. You can retrain your taste buds in ten days. Add a slice of lemon or lime or cucumber to your water and tell your brain: “(your name _______), you like the taste of water.” You may want to investigate alkaline water and hydrogen water as emerging research is touting benefits over tap water.
Use the brain-function information you are learning to help you keep your brain and body well hydrated!
Rain is the sky descending to the earth; without rain, there would be no life.
