I’m certain there has been a time when you needed to remember something and just could not bring the thought up. Or, some information you needed to recall and just could not master it. We have all been there, right? So you could imagine my surprise when I discovered there is a USA Memory Championship and such a thing as a “memory athlete.”
The students in the following video have worked on their concentration to the point of making the impossible, possible and learned techniques that help them “achieve past one’s self”, in addition to developing the courage to simply try. You have heard me talk about directed focus, well, the champion student uses images or visualization to improve her concentration because more than half the challenge is mental. View the video, listen for the techniques and see if you can do it. I tried it and it does work…maybe not all at once but the more you do it the better you become.
