Learn How You Learn

We all learn. It is figuring out how we learn that is a key to our success. What is it that makes you retain information? Data gathering has become the gold mining of the future. Have you ever reflected on your experiences to see if you can find the trend on how you learn?

Do you have a “typical” direction you run down when presented with different information and choices in your life? Honesty is required and this exercise is hard. Be prepared that when you start to take a look at yourself with honesty and no judgement, you will start to uncover your true self and even as hard as that is there is nothing more worth it in life.

The key is to answer some questions for yourself, and take a look at your life since elementary school until now and try to find the pattern. 

What is it that makes you tick? Who are you? How have you decided to approach the world? These questions all have ramifications on your particular learning type. The way you filter information is very important. When a new experience or idea comes into contact with your life, realizing what you do next and if that step is an “auto response” or if you are cognitively making that decision. 

You have to be intentional about this exercise. Ultimately you need to be intentional about everything in life, but that is a topic for another time.

Question yourself, ask yourself why you do the things you do and are those things in your best interest?
