Before starting this program, I had already been making conscious changes in my daily habits to help overcome depression and stagnancy. The most important for me has been daily meditation and positive affirmations. Jim's "5 Levels of Transformation" really resonate with me, because I have already seen this in my life, overcoming subconscious programming that says "You're not enough" in order to create a better version of myself. Super Reading and also Super Brain, which I completed previously, have been EXACTLY what I was needing to complement the other work I've been doing. It has been a goal of mine to read faster and to read more often for quite a while now, but I have been frustrated by my lack of retention. It makes you feel like "Why even bother?" when you can't remember it. Jim mentions those exact frustrations throughout the program, and it feels like he's telling my story, which makes me realize it is far from a unique story.
This is just the beginning. I believe this will completely transform my life. Being a registered nurse in a fast-paced hospital environment, I need to be able to take in a lot of information in a short amount of time and be able to make sense of it, so that I can do the best for my patients and also be able to clearly communicate with my colleagues. Reading through verbose doctor's notes when you're very stressed and have a hundred tasks to complete can feel overwhelming, but I know that it will feel less so as my reading continues to improve. This is also going to encourage me to keep up with my dedication to being a lifelong learner, as the field of medicine is always rapidly changing, and I want to keep myself up to date with the latest knowledge.
