Upgrading Your Memory part I

The mind is extremely powerful beyond words. By analyzing computer functions we can learn how amazing our mind is. There are basic functions all computers perform which are similar to the way our brains function. These functions are:

Imput- The ability to give computers commands by feeding it with information

Output-The ability to read what the computer is doing.

Memory-The two basic categories of memory are short-term and long-term. A typical computer contains numerous types of memory.

Processing-The CPU controls how data is sorted and directs the flow of data. The computer is defined by the power of its microprocessor or CPU.

I want to deal with only the imputing and outputting functions of a computer today in contrast with how our minds work. Imputing commands into our brains started from a very young age. Our minds are sponges absorbing information from sources like home, parents, and events. We are constantly imputing commands into our mind.

Unfortunately, a lot of information we store into our minds is detrimental to us.
The results are worst than a computer being infected with a powerful virus. This stored information ranges from negativity (watching it, partaking in it, and listening to it), limiting beliefs, false beliefs, negative self-talk, even the re-runs of bad experiences we watch on the Sony IMAX movie screen of our minds.(These happen to be the worst). The mind is very responsive to pictures and metaphors.

We would never install a virus on our pricey computers yet we install garbage into our mental. But we don’t seem to have a problem with storing it in our minds.

Let’s look at our mental output so we can analyze what is going on with our lives. Whatever situation or results we are seeing in our lives is a direct reflection of what is going on inside of our minds and hearts.

If we are not enjoying what life is showing us it is time to change our minds. Change your mind you change your results. Changing your results changes your life. Here is a very quick way to change your mind.

Think Optimistic-To every cloud there is a silver lining. Always look on the bright side of things. It always makes a difference.

Absorb Optimism- Read uplifting materials such as religious books, self-help books, listen to motivational tapes & CD’s, and read biographies of successful individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the world.

Live Optimistic- Live optimistically by asking yourself what questions they have amazing power. Such as what do I have to do to get a raise at my job? Never ask yourself why questions they will literally bury you in guilt and negative reasons.


Keep Optimistic Conversation- Stay away from the negative conversations at all cost. Give yourself positive self-talk. So often we down ourselves. “I am wonderful.” “I feel like I can conquer the world goes a long way.” “I deserve the best in every aspect of my life.” These words go a very long way.

"The brain's capacity and desire to make or elicit patterns of meaning is one of the keys of brain-based learning. We never really understand something until we can create a model or metaphor derived from our unique personal world. Learning and memory are influenced by the sets, intentions and plans generated in the neocortex of the brain as well as by the information received from the immediate environment and from internal states, drives, and muscular responses. The reality we perceive, feel, see and hear is influenced by the constructive processes of the brain as well as by the cues that impinge upon it." Merlin C. Wittrock

I want to let you in on a little secret. Our minds are more powerful than any computer made or being made. Upgrading your memory is simple. Practice these methods for 24 days. They say a new habit has to be practiced for 21 days in order for it to stick. So let’s take it a bit further. Remember we are into greater than expected living.
