Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer Struggling to get PhotoReading

Hi there

I bought the PhotoReading course close to 18 months ago now. I am still struggling to get it to work for me. I have a huge problem with sub-vocalising in my mind as I read and I tend to have to reread sentences over and over again as I suddenly realise while reading that I don't know what I'm reading about.

What's the easiest way to help let go of old habits such as sub-vocalising? How can I train my mind to read as if I'm watching a movie or documentary in my head?

It really is driving me mad as it takes me ages to read books and I generally can't remember much about what I read in the books. I used to be able to read with live imaging in my head when I was like 10 or so then I stopped reading as much for several years and when I started again I had to read each word.

I know that if I can continuously do something without thinking for 2 to 3 weeks I will form a new habit. Are there any mind or eye exercises I can try?

It's quite interesting though cause I can do word searches the way PhotoReading is meant to be done, I look over the words then I PhotoRead the word box, then look over the words again and as long as I keep one word in my mind at a time I know exactly where it is in the grid without having to look for it. But I just can't seem to click with it for books.

Thanks
Greg

Practice going back to this memory feel the feeling you use to have, its like riding a bike the ability still coded in your brain you just need to dig it out.

Stop reading.
Only Photoread or pictureread books upside down and backwards.

Occupy 'sub-vocalization' with chanting.
Organize your chanting dialog along some theme that is logical psychologically. That is whole and complete to itself and makes clear sense to you.

Basically, do not sub-vocalize any statement you are not prepared to 'live, eat and endure'.

Keep a log; a clear record in a notebook for same. When you stop keeping records, 'you lose'. Fill the notebook up and you win!!

And all this advice is still the 'tip of iceberg' as it were.

Hi

Thanks for your quick replies. Much appreciated.
I will give that a go. Just gotta keep at it, I know it.

Will post any progress as it comes.

Thanks
Greg

Great tip
