Mental Training: A How-To Guide
Summary
Mental training doesn't need to be overwhelming. By consistently applying a few simple rules, you can enhance your brainpower effectively.
Introduction
Unlike physical training, where "no pain, no gain" often applies, mental training focuses on efficiency rather than effort. Instead of purely exercising your brain, incorporating smart tools and techniques can be transformative.
Simple Rules for Mental Training
Adopting easy-to-remember rules can significantly enhance brain function. Consider the "Rule of 72" for investments. This rule helps you estimate how long it takes to double your money by dividing the expected rate of return into 72. For example, with a 6% interest rate, your money doubles in approximately 12 years.
Similarly, real estate investors often use a rule like: "Don't pay more than 100 times the monthly rent for a property." This rule aids quick mental filtering of potential investments.
Using Simple Questions
Beyond formulas, asking the right questions can rapidly lead you to desired results. Comedians, for instance, excel by questioning and challenging everyday situations. If a friend says, "Having kids gives me immortality," a comedian might ask, "What's the irony here?" leading to a witty retort: "I want immortality by not dying!"
Key questions include: "What if I take this to the extreme?" or "What’s the most absurd part of this situation?"
Simple Techniques for Mental Training
Incorporating problem-solving techniques into your routine can enhance your cognitive abilities. One effective method is challenging assumptions, particularly in personal issues laden with hidden assumptions.
For instance, if your kids argue over the TV, you're assuming you need a TV, fighting over it is the problem, it must stop, and it’s your problem. By questioning these, you might find solutions like limiting TV use, tackling general behavior issues, or encouraging your kids to resolve the problem themselves.
Creating Useful Mental Habits
Every activity has its own set of practical rules and guidelines. Incorporating general "life rules" such as asking, "How does this help me achieve my goals?" or "Is there a better alternative?" can be transformative.
Our subconscious patterns aren't always the most effective. Why not consciously train yourself to adopt the most useful patterns, rules, and questions? Starting with simple mental training can lead to meaningful change.
Enhance your mental skills by integrating these straightforward techniques and watch your cognitive abilities grow stronger.
