Somewhere, many years ago, as I was making my own sleep tapes, I accidently discovered that if I would speed up my tapes, I could hear them easier...it is difficult to describe...but I used to put records on at the higher speeds and I could understand the words better. I love the fast Finish, but it is still a little slow at the beginning of the Genius Code course. I understand that this speed will increase as it progresses. I can express that it makes my brain/mind relax just to have it all sped up...I actually feel relief when I speed things up. Thanks for the tip about the speech program on the computer! It means that I can make my own things faster and that is calming to my nerves, too! =o)
