The process of self-creation!
You can use the new "Mind Maps" approach, created by Tony Buzan, to make "visual notes" to yourself! To make a "Mind Map" you need to write down a key word or phrase, or draw an image in the middle of a page --- such as the word "Self." This is the subject of your Mind Map. As you make notes, you can create "branches" which "radiate" from this central point. Each branch can have "sub-branches" which depict the pattern of ideas you experience as one idea leads to another. The different branches, which radiate out from the "main idea," connect the main idea with all your "supporting ideas" or thoughts. Use color to create interesting drawings or images to illustrate points and to make the Mind Map easier to recall. BRAIN EXERCISE You can create your own Mind Maps about any idea or subject you choose. Put the idea, theme or subject of your thinking in the center of a blank page of paper. As ideas come into your mind, print words on lines or branches that radiate outward. Vary the size of the words and use color ink and drawings since they all help your brain's memory resources move the ideas from your short-term memory to your long-term memory in your brain. You can also link related ideas with vector arrows and correct or edit this process as you look at the "big picture" or graphic representation of the pattern of your ideas, which are now "documented" in your Mind Map --- and in several parts of your brain. This creative process permits both sides of your brain -- the "left side" (analytical) and "right side" (conceptual) to work together to accomplish your goals most effectively and efficiently.
