Creating Mind-Maps to Communicate with Your Self -- Info Chunk #9

By using the Mind-Mapping Skills to Learn self-leadership concepts, you can re-program your brain and its memory resources to use your TIME better at home and at work!

    [1] You can create your own "Mind-Maps" about any idea or subject you choose.

    [2] Simply put the idea -- which is your subject or theme -- in the center of a blank piece of paper and draw a circle or ellipse around it.

    [3] As related ideas or essential parts of the same idea come into your mind, write those key words on "branches" (lines) that radiate outward away from your main idea.

    [4] Vary the size of the words or use colors to underline related ideas or create drawings as you interpret your associated feelings to illustrate the significance of the words and to reinforce the strongest connections. This will help your brain's memory resources move the ideas from your short-term memory to your long-term memory.

    [5] You can link related side-issue ideas with vector arrows, which can be straight or curved. Then you can "edit" or correct this documented thinking process as you actually "look" with your eyes at the written graphic representation of the pattern of your thinking about the idea that has been at the center of your attention.

    This process of documentation may seem strange or too simple to be of any further value. However, your full brainpower cannot be unleashed to focus on an idea with both parts of your brain until you can VISUALIZE the idea and its consequences in your life. The Mind-Mapping technique is best applied to more complicated problems that you cannot solve instantly with your intuition and reasoning ability.

    [6] Thus the Mind-Mapping process can seem to be a miraculous thinking technique that can give you the ability or power to make better choices --- thereby increasing your self-esteem and self-empowerment. When you have all of the related side-issue ideas objectified in your Mind-Map you can see the big picture or the many possible consequences of acting upon your idea. This documentation process can reinforce an idea and lock it into your brain's memory resources for further use later on.

    [7] If you apply this thinking process to your ethical decisions, it can help you clarify your values and create a personality or lifestyle that you will feel more comfortable with and get more happiness from. When you understand your SELF better, you can be understood by others better because you will not be afraid to assert yourself and achieve your most important goals!
