I listened to people talk and then the conversations would be out of my head as soon as the next conversation occurred. I accepted the brain fog and memory loss to my autoimmune disorder and medications and gave up hope of having intelligent conversations with people because even though I had read and researched, I couldn't recall any details of the subject.
After completing only the masterclass and day one of this course, I realize that I have an observation issue. I begin my day differently and have incorporated the techniques to remember names of people I encounter. I am aware when I am not present and not paying attention. Reminding myself of my motivation and desire to connect with others helps me to pay attention.
I am using these techniques already and feel stronger and hopeful that I really can learn and speak intelligently with others.
