beliefs.

mind with your emotions (ex. When you tell
yourself, “I feel good quitting smoking”, you
force yourself to not just acknowledge the
thought but to internalize it and align it with
how you feel.

senses as I age?

especially sight, as the means to enliven
Experience.

painting, drawing, or writing.
❖ Try mind- mapping- Da Vinci’s note-taking
