Default Recent Insights into the Learning Process

As a veteran of the game, it has been a long time since I have learned anything new...

And recently, studying with Mr. X (see http://www.strippersystem.com for details) I have been able to both push my boundaries and take in an incredible amount of information in a very short time.

I attribute this to my lifelong journey of learning about new things, and constant habit of challenging myself.

But recently, in learning new social behaviors, I was a lot more self-aware than I was, say 6 years ago.

And given this awareness, I was able to clearly see my internal processes in a way that I could instill in others.

Basicaly anytime X showed me a new technique or behavior, the first thing I would do (before trying the tehnique) would be to think to myself "Who would I have to be such that this behavior would be natural?"

That way - I would give myself the opportunity for some small personal evolution each time I learned a new technique - as opposed to trying the technique as my current self. Does that make sense?

So I have come up with a short list of questions you can ask yourself each time you read or learn a new technique that will make learning and internalizing the technique happen 10x faster:
  1. Who would I have to be such that this techique comes naturally?
  2. Where would my attention be focused such that this technique comes naturally?
  3. What would I feel like internally such that this technique happened naturally?
  4. What would I believe about myself such that this technique would happen naturally?
  5. How would it look if I saw a natural doing this technique? What would he sound like?
So each time you get a new technique - go into the field, and before you execute the technique through the filter of your old belief system, instead - ask yourself these questions first, and notice the difference.
