7 Steps to a Brilliant Mind

#1. What is Your Goal? Where do you want to end up? What do you mean exactly and precisely when you say that you want to develop your brain to the maximum? What does that mean to you?

Depending on the goal there will be different approaches and different things you need to focus on. Becoming the best version of yourself mentally is all about figuring out what that really means to you and closing the gap between that futuristic version of yourself and your current version; between the ideal and real self. More on that later.

#2. Have a Set Intention. Every day you study, learn, or are in any social situation you should focus on what you want to gain from this situation. What is the one thing you want to achieve in this moment?

Each day should have a maximum of 3 set intentions that give that day a particular theme. But you still want to set an intention as often as you can throughout the day for the little things.

Be flexible enough to change your intention as it works for you, while being strong enough to follow through with your major objective/s throughout the day.

#3. Start thinking outside the Box. Most of the greatest thinkers in the world thought outside the box. They found a new approach to something old that no one has ever thought of before.
