podcast okay wonderful so we've talked about many principles to having a better memory we talk about imagination we talk about association we talk about organization we talk about attention that's a lot of alliteration with the shows um i want to talk about one more and that's your intention your intention what is your intention for learning what is your intention for remembering you know we are bombarded with an avalanche of information right each and every day and it is overwhelming right and you must intend to remember something if you are going to remember something it's as simple as that if you forgot a name now by the way say yes if this is you uh have you forgotten a name recently have you forgotten where you parked your car have you misplaced things that you use every single day like you're the remote control or maybe your phone have you ever lost your train of thought have you ever forgot what someone just said like maybe something i just said right and uh there's a quote from my mentor his name is dr stephen covey many of you have read his book seven habits highly effective people he said most people do not listen with the intention to understand most people listen with the intention to reply so they're not really understanding because their intention is they're not they're thinking about how they're going to respond and one of his habits was seek first to understand then to be understood because people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care and that's why your intention matters people could feel your intention now how are we defining intention well in in latin uh intent just is uh is your aim it is uh it is your purpose right it can be defined as a thing that you intended an aim a plan the power of intention is is really the power of a focused dedicated mind and intention is a great starting point you know it's a starting point for every goal having the intention of every dream that you have it is the creative power that fulfills in our needs you know whether it happens to be love or in relationships health um money or wealth right think about it everything happens in life began with an intention some kind of intention when you decided to buy that gift when you if you decide to wiggle your fingers if you decide to text a friend if you want to remember someone's name it all starts with the intention of doing so right uh wayne dyer says our intention creates our reality think about that our intention creates our reality right i uh i know oprah has mentioned talk the power of intention also as well that intention is she says tension is one with cause and effect and so intention it determines our our outcome right and she mentions in one of her quotes that if you're stuck moving forward you have to check the thought and the action that has created your your circumstances so that's the power of intention and so how do we learn how do we live less out of habit and more through intention and let's just think about that when you're focusing your mental energy on something that um let's say we're able to give more of our brain power to it it's not magic at all because there's a method behind the magic you know it's our innate tool that we have this is the power of the mind being placed in a position where you are planning where you are preparing where you need to be able to perform at optimal levels right and so intention isn't a do it once and and forget about it it's not that kind of thing it's this continuous consistent use of the mind in a focused manner and when you cultivate this state and use it you can get what you want in life easier right a lot of people don't remember names let's talk about memory because they don't have an intention for remembering that name do you really have a set intention to remember what you what you read do you set intentions when you're learning something or listening to somebody to really understand it from their point of view to really focus to really organize the information to be able to do you intend to use it in the future also as well so like even if we made an intention right so so desire is one thing you could desire something and have an interest in something um intention i would say is a level above that it's where you take that feeling and you're you're making a commitment you know that's something that's going to lead to a decision you know if you decided if you had an intention or remember someone's name and you truly decided right you've heard the word decision it's like incision to cut cutting off from any other possibility you're burning the bridges that you're just you're gonna do it right so it's like you have this intention uh to be able to stop doing something uh maybe you wanna stop doing something like uh eating that junk food or you want to stop smoking right that is your intention but you can make that transformation without claiming that intention and so for me when we're thinking about cultivating this state of intention there there are three clear steps right so you could write this down or you probably easily remember this number one is you have to decide what you want and that's in your head right you have to decide what you want uh this now by the way when you're by definition the power of intention you need to know what your goal is right when you're thinking about intention the aim you know is the goal the dream so you set that intention if you don't know this you're never going to be able to utilize your power because clarity gives you power right the very easy phrase to remember is i commit myself to this i commit myself to remembering people's names i commit myself to a memory where i parked the car that could be your intention most people just park they're mindless right they park their car or they go on autopilot they're not thinking about things or they're at home and you put something somewhere but they're inten there's no intention behind uh remembering where that thing is right because they're not mindful and i'm going to do a specific episode on mindfulness so the first step is get in your head right what do you want and what do you want with clarity and so what's your intention around learning and your intention around life right the second thing i would say is from head you go into your heart all right this this is really your your why you have to get clear on your why you know now that you know what you want why why do you want it you know what is it going to give you because reasons reap results reasons reap results and honestly reasons reap rewards also as well because a lot of people know what to do here in their head but they don't do it with their hands which is the third part because they're not connected with their heart the emotions the energy of motion right so you set the intention in your head right you feel it in your heart in terms of why you must do it right simon sinek has a great book called star with why and then finally the third stage really is your hands head hard hands and that's where you work for it right once you know what you want and why you want it that serves as a great foundation it's very attractive you know but you can't have the law of attraction without the law of action right even you can see the word action in the word attraction right so you can't even make up you can't even make the word attraction without the word action literally the last six letters of attraction is the word what action right and so that gets to your hands and so what is your intention in your head and then feel the intention in your heart in terms of why you want it and then be very intentional with your hands meaning the method you're going to take place right because your intention it's it's a it's almost a guiding principle of how you want to be on how you want to learn on how you want to live on how you want to show up in the world right and i think that's really the goal is you imagine imagine your intention imagine remembering the things that you want to remember those languages something you just read something where you something that you're placing somewhere you want to be able to recall it um so you don't lose it something that you want to say like maybe you have a thought but you don't want to lose this thought and but you're also listening to somebody else so imagine your intention and what do you do you see it you feel it and then you work daily for it now if you're watching on this on video if you're not you could see i i
