- Take breaks every 45 minutes when studying for long periods to allow your brain to consolidate memory. Get enough sleep as your brain files away information reviewed before bedtime most efficiently. Relax and avoid stress which hinders thinking and memory.
- Use flashcards and rewrite notes to facilitate constant review and checking your memory. Revise what you've learned within 10 minutes and 24 hours to organize and store the information before it can be forgotten.
- Generate interest to boost attention and memory. Teaching others is an effective way to repeat and remember information yourself. Take breaks every 40-50 minutes of studying to avoid exhaustion hindering memory.

Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.

Improve your memory
1. IMPROVE YOUR MEMORY
• Take tests - Why do we push things into memory. Because, we would like to
recall it when the need arises. How do you know you will be able to recall when
you need it? Simple, Take tests periodically and makes repeated attempts in
recalling. Regular recall improves memory.
• Take breaks - If you have 3.5 hours to read, break it into 4 parts: 45 minutes
followed by a 5 to 10 minute break. Studies indicate that you can't concentrate for
more than 45 minutes.
• Sleep on it - What you review immediately before going to sleep is what your
brain will most quickly and efficiently file away. So review just before sleep.
• Relax -The Thinking Brain functions best when you are relaxed and free from
stress.
• Reading habits - Read out loud; don't bother if it disturbs others at home. Walk
while you read; don't bother if it disturbs your others at home.
• Draw charts- Write and rewrite key ideas and formula.
• Use flash cards - Flash cards facilitate constant review and instantly help to
check output. Rules, principles, formulae should all go into it.
• Revision - You should revise shortly after the learning period. At first, say within
10 minutes after learning and then, again, within the next 24 hours. The reason:
when you finish learning, the brain has not had enough time to organize and store
everything. It needs a few minutes to store, organize and integrate the data.
Studies show that 82% of what you learn today can be forgotten in 24 hours if
you do not make a special effort to remember it.
• Interest is the mother of attention and attention is the mother of memory.
• The best way to remember is to repeat; and the best way to repeat is to “teach”
some one else.
• If exhaustion or drowsiness comes on frequently, take some phosphate tonic,
preferably kali phos 6x or 12x prescribed by homoeopaths. (Consult To DOC
First).
• Never Study for More than 40-50 minutes, Take a pause.
