Preparing your mind
Your mind and body function best when they are in top form.
However, people generally focus more on body well being and
forget to relax
the mind. Your brain is where all the action will be
taking place when you are studying, so it is just as important to
prepare your mental state of mind as it is your body.
Visualization
Although visualization is an ability we have had for thousands of years,
it has only been through recent research in this area that it has noted
its benefits.
Most of the studies involve athletics and their improvement through
the use of visualization. Some studies have shown that by visualization
alone, some participants were able to increase their muscle bulk by
up to 40%. This is without even lifting iron.
Knowledge is essential to conquest; only according to our ignorance are
we helpless. Thought creates character. Character can dominate
conditions. Will creates circumstances and environment.
Anne Besant
Visualization is a powerful and simple technique. It involves
‘visualizing’ the activity you want to do. Gymnasts frequently use this
technique to help them learn a new move. They will use visualization
to play the move in slow motion in their mind detailing every single
move and in multiple angles until they feel comfortable with it.
Visualization has allowed many gymnasts to perfect their moves
without even being in the gym.
Visualization is also a technique that can be used for study
preparation. It can be used by the student to visualize:
The quantity of work that will be completed during the study
session.
By visualising being in a relaxed state during studying.
It usually takes more
than three weeks to
prepare a good
impromptu speech.
Mark Twain
