• The Visual-Auditory-Kinesthetic learning styles model or 'inventory', usually abbreviated to VAK, provides a simple way to explain and understand your own learning style .
• 'Learning style' should be interpreted to mean an individual mixture of styles. Everyone has a mixture of strengths and preferences. No-one has exclusively one single style or preference. Please bear this in mind when using these ideas.
• Alternatively the model is referred to as Visual-Auditory-Physical, or Visual-Auditory-Tactile/Kinesthetic (or Kinaesthetic). The model is also extended by some people to VARK (Visual-Auditory-Reading-Kinesthetic) or VACT (Visual-Auditory-Kinesthetic-Tactile
• The original VAK concepts were first developed by psychologists and teaching (of children) specialists such as Fernald, Keller, Orton, Gillingham, Stillman and Montessori, starting in the 1920's.

I Thought Humans had Only One Brain, so Why do We Talk About Right Brain and
Left Brain?April 7, 2023Gowri M Ramanathan
Your brain has many different parts that work together. Five parts, which are key players on the brain team:
cerebrum (say: suh-ree-brum) cerebellum (say: sair-uh-bell-um) brain stem pituitary gland (say: puh-too-uh-ter-ee gland) hypothalamus (say: hy-po-thal-uh-mus)

• The right and the left hemispheres of the brain are linked together neurologically.
• Each hemisphere dominates specific kinds of mental activities and learning patterns.
• People tend to have a preference for initially processing information through the left or the right hemisphere.
• Once information is received and processing begins in one hemisphere, the information is then shared with the other hemisphere for total processing.

Goals are well-defined plans aimed at achieving a specific result.
Goals are roadmaps for achieving what you want in life.
Goals represent a course of action you intend to pursue.
Goals reflect your values and your priorities.
April 7, 2023Gowri M Ramanathan
People who set goals are… Clear about what they want in their lives Not afraid to make commitments to things they
value Not afraid of trying or failing Organized and know how to prioritize their goals Aware of effective goal setting techniques Not procrastinators Action oriented and choose to be a cause and not an
effect.

Positive affirmations are a great tool to reprogram your unconscious mind from negative thinking to positive.
The idea is to take positive statements of what you would like to see manifested, and repeat them enough so that they’re part of your way of thinking and seeing the world; this operates in the same way that negative self-talk does, but in a way that benefits you.
April 7, 2023Gowri M Ramanathan
To come up with your own positive affirmations, use the following guidelines:
Look At Your Intentions Create Statements Be Sure They’re Positive Use Mine Repetition Do-It-Yourself Recording On Post-Its Self-Hypnosis
