Finish Strong

Finish strong. Your brain remembers the last thing you did.

We are the sum total of all the experiences we have had to date. These experiences have been stored in our brains for retrieval and use.

But did you know that your brain stores the last memory of what you did?

Let us use an exercise as an example to illustrate this. 

Let us say you are cycling for ten kilometres. Depending on your fitness levels, your performance will vary across the distance.

There will be moments where you will feel capable, strong, and in control. 

But invariably, there will be moments when you will feel weak and fatigued. You will wish you had exercised more as a child. 

Here is the strange thing. If you finish your cycling feeling like you got this, that is what your brain will remember. 

Professor Moran Cerf taught me this. That memories are formed by constantly retrieving and storing them.

During the process of retrieval and storage, if you change the memory, your brain will store the last memory. 

So change the memory to your advantage. 

Remember that you are the sum total of all your experiences and the memories you have formed. 

The memories do not need to be passive.

You can deliberately create memories that are favourable to you. That reinforces what you wish to believe.

Over time, they will pile up to form a different set of beliefs about what you are capable of. 

You are what you believe you are. 

So finish strong.
