Can You Increase Your Brain Power?
What Do You Think?
Can you solve problems easily? Can you learn new things
efficiently? Can you increase your brain power? Whatever you
think and feel about these questions, those thoughts and
feelings will have an effect on your brain function, because
brain power and psychology are intimately connected.
Expectation
Checkmate in four moves, the book said, so I looked until I
found it. I love chess puzzles, and I used to think those
elegant solutions were not often possible in real games.
Then it occurred to me that they probably are there, but
that without the expectation of finding them, I settled for
less worthy moves. I find the elegant ones more often now.
A man I know spent his childhood with wealthy kids and their
families. Is it coincidence that he now makes more money
than most of us? Did his rich friends give him money? Did
they help him in business? No, no, and no. He simply feels
that a certain level of income is normal, and his mind will
always push him towards that level.
...
... re you beginning to see how expectation and belief can
expand or limit not only your mind, but your life? So how do
you apply this to increasing your brain power?
What Can You Do?
I'll never say that anything is possible, but what you think
is possible certainly affects what you accomplish. If you
think you can increase your brain power, you are far more
likely to do what is necessary to get that result. Do you
think you can? Do you think you are intelligent? If not, how
do you change your outlook?
Don't worry. I'm not going to tell you to stand in front of
a mirror making positive affirmations. There is an easier
way.
Evidence Is More Powerful Than
Affirmation
What you look for, you find, and this changes your
mind. Want to prove this to yourself? Watch for polite
drivers for a few days, making a mental note to yourself
each time you see one. Focus just on the polite ones,
ignoring the rest. It will change your experience of driving
in a positive way. Then watch for rude drivers for a few
days, and you'll begin to see them all over.
If you actually do the exercise above, you'll get the point.
You experience the world not just according to what is
there, but even more according to what you pay attention to.
Now, to apply this to your thinking process:
Find your successes. Notice when you learn something new.
Write it down even. Point out your problem-solving successes
to yourself, and you'll have more of them. When you are
thinking clearly and effectively, tell yourself, "Look at
that brain go!"
Telling yourself you are intelligent may help, but evidence
is more convincing than affirmation. So if you are working
to improve your mind, just watch, and you will find examples
of progress, however large or small. Focus on these, and
remember them. You can start doing this right now.
