OK OK.....I know this may seem a silly and simplistic topic/post in such an age. Still, I just wanted to share a little "trick" with my fellow FReepers that has served me very well over the years. I've taught this to many; all have been grateful.
We all, especially us FReepers, take in so much information in a typical day (work, home, FR, TV, talk radio, etc.) that often it is very difficult to recall certain facts; certain information.
You know that feeling...."..oh darn it, what's-his-name....I can't remember"; or "...oh you know, that movie with...ummm....dang it...".
Here's the key: NEVER say "I can't remember". Never. What I want you to say from now on is "It'll come to me.".
Then....just drop it from your thoughts. Fuhgedaboutit (no pun intended). What you have just done is program that marvelous, God-given computer of yours (aka your brain) a command. It typically takes 5-20 minutes for that recall process to complete and you will find yourself blurting out the answer. Yes, it works.
When you say "I can't remember"....guess what? You've done the same, and your "computer" will do exactly what you just programmed it to do. It won't remember.
Small thing. Trivial....but it has helped me so much over many years, and I hope this little thing helps you. God bless you all, my fellow FReepers.
Words are much more powerful than most people realize.

Absolutely. And our brains are more powerful that most people realize. Even with all the brain research going on today, we still do not comprehend all the ways that our onboard computer makes life easy or difficult.
We will achieve victory. We will be steadfast. We will be courageous.

I will get my car shovelled out. I will make it to the top of this set of stairs carrying all these groceries. LOL!
Self messages work really well.
GREAT! Thought I’d found them all, but this is a new link. They really are fun to do.
You’re very welcome. :)
And don’t tell them they are wrong! My youngest son insists I am older than dirt and went to high school with God.
That makes me older than you and unfortunately my children don’t let me forget my age. Last I heard, I was 120.
ROTFLMBO!
that’s cold. lol
So right.
When I was in 9th grade we had to take a vision test during phys ed. class.
I could tell that I wasn't going to pass but the last thing I wanted was to wear glasses.
So, I moseyed toward the eye chart and memorized the 20/20 line on the chart.
After more than 50 yrs. that line is still with me. D E F P O T E C.
Even stumbled through it backwards. Passed.
Funny thing, I didn’t know or had not thought about Russ’s SN for years. One day after he had been ill for a long time (years) we were discussing something about his army days and all of a sudden I rattled off his SN....Surprised me as much as it did him. LOL
