Monday suddenly felt like posting this.
A mental block is an informal term used to mean either repression of painful thoughts, or an inability to continue a train of thought, like in the case of writer's block. It is often used to describe a temporary inability to recall a name or other information. How can you overcome mental blocks in math, science and other technical or analytical material? Did you know that you create a mental block when you accept not being on the ball? Do you or someone you care about allow oneself to just coast down hill--not knowing and not understanding the subject or lessons? Here's how to get rid of that mental block and get going! Steps 1. Nod positively. Shake your head "Yes!" in class during lecture and class discussion. 2. Pay close attention to whomever has the floor. Be on the ball. Listen to the teacher and to the students who are participating. 3. Smile when you understand a step or an answer to a question. 4. Agree with lecture, with the teacher and with students who go to the board and give solutions--showing how the answer is found. 5. Say affirmations like "Okay, yeah!", "That's right!" or "You got it!" and "That's how I did it too!" 6. Participate in the whole class activity, your small group, or board work (go to the board and try to do the problem). 7. Stay up to date, be on time, do the homework. Get help if you need it. Maybe you have a friend in the same class who will work on homework or other assignments with you. 8. Always clear your mind and clarify your doubts--if you have any; even get extreme help, but only after class hours without disturbing the class. 9. Be interested in technical and analytical matters. Always be on the edge of your seat; be ready. Act sharp, by really trying to comprehend the material and you will become sharper, keener and wiser. 10. Be ready for anything; so don't let your guard down (like daydreaming), but think positively and don't think much about other than the subject that you need to be focusing on. i felt obliged to post about this. i actually went to research abt this. wat a joke.
