Eric; change the way you are talking about yourself; statements like i feel stupider do absolutely no good at all. You are programming yourself with negative things that don't help. Replace the negative self talk with affirmations like i am a powerful learner or i learn easily or i can learn anything i want to. Remember to relax. Remember how that is mentioned in the photoreading book and learning course that being in a relaxed state is crucial to learning and that stress interferes with learning.
