How to Ace Learning
The pre-step to creating a winning attitude is deep relaxation.

2. Mentally visualize three separate, vertical sets of numbers,
Take a deep diaphragmatic breath for each set and see:
3 2 1
3 2 1n 3 2 1n
3. Now to go into deeper relaxation, count yourself down innthree-separate breaths:
10 7 4n 9 6 3n 8 5 2n 1
You are now in Dimension 2, a deeply relaxed state-of-mind.
4. Please ask this question aloud of your non-conscious mind,
It is always listening, waiting to execute your orders 24/7.
5. a) “Please find me a mental-movie or long-term memory ofn a time when I was really into acing a study session!”
6. b) “Thanks. Now retrieve and access that specific session (memory)n in a clear, bright, close-in daydream.”
7. c) “Great – I am there. Now let me feel all the same feelingsn of that winning study session. n n Let me look around at this mental image and see everythingn I saw that time, and everything I heard (music) that session.
Please help me have the same feelings of fun, expectation,n and success.”
8. Now let your mind-and-body get into those same feelings,n sights, and sounds as-if you were burning-a-disk of that perfect session.
You are now in your Comfort-Zone of deep relaxation and are fully motivated.
You are in the flow, in the zone, and in the same state-of-mindn to have another Peak Experience of learning and studying.
9. Now you are going to count yourself down, open your eyes,n wide awake, and feeling deeply relaxed.
Now take a deep breath and see-and-hea
the following three numbers – One (breath) – Two (breath), and – Threen(breath).
Now, wide awake, feeling much better than when you firstnstarted, and in a positive state of mind to study and learn.
Please open your eyes and Slap your hands together, makingna loud noise. You’re feeling good, and ready to slide into you
study session and do a great job because you are fully motivated.nncopyright © 2009 H. Bernard Wechsle
