It is possible to vastly compress most learning. In a surprising number of cases, it is possible to do something in 1-10 months that is assumed to take 1-10 years. -The more you compress things, the more physical limiters become a bottleneck. All learning is physically limited. The brain is dependent on finite quantities of neurotransmitters, memories require REM and non-REM (NREM) sleep for consolidation, etc. The learning graph is not un..

I also figured out that I could use my workouts as a form of meditation because I concentrate so much on the muscle, I have my mind inside the bicep when I do my curls. I have my mind inside the pectoral muscles when I do my bench press. I'm really inside, and it's like I gain a form of meditation, because you have no chance of thinking or concentrating on anything else at that time.

First, let's focus on those critical first steps. Define three steps for each dream that will get you closer to its actualization. Set actions--simple, well-defined actions--for now, tomorrow (complete before 11 A.M.) and the day after (again completed before 11 A.M.). Once you have three steps for each of the four goals, complete the three actions in the "now" column. Do it now. Each should be simple enough to do in five minutes or less. I..

Eat decent quantities of fat at each larger meal. Saturated fat is fine if meat is untreated with antibiotics and hormones. * Spend at least 30 minutes eating lunch and dinner. Breakfasts can be smaller and thus consumed more quickly. * Experiment with cinnamon and lemon juice just prior to or during meals. * Use the techniques in "Damage Control" for accidental and planned binges. Keep in mind that the techniques in that chapter will help ..
