Confidence is a biggie. But, which comes first? Confidence or success with PhotoReading? In either event, both supports each other. Here are a few thoughts...
- The Belief Paraliminal tape can definitely help. For many years we gave that tape to everyone who took the live training, because it made a difference for them. Listen to it a few times a year to build belief in your ability to PhotoReading and activate materials.
- PhotoRead 5-10 books a day for a month or two. This is a big commitment, but those who do this have many difference experiences with activation including spontaneous activation, weird cooincidences, dreaming about the contents of a book or applying the principles from a book, opening books to exactly the information you are looking for, and so on. It is a great confidence builder. That's how I started out, and I highly recommend it. Activate one book a week--but PhotoRead 5-10 a day to see what happens--even if it is the same book over and over.
- Go to the PhotoReading section of our site and read the article about Works on All Material. This will give you more insight on activation. Then find a relatively easy non-fiction book of about 250 words with lots of headlines and subheads. PhotoRead it, and activate it until it gels. But do not spend more than 30 minutes with the book a day. See how many days it takes before it gels. You are bound to find that you spent considerably less time with the book than had you regular read the entire book. That incubation period really helps.
