Brain Training Report – Kevin – Average N-back=5.5

Hi Guys,

Today was excellent as far as Dual N-back training. I have just completed session 15 with an average N-back of 5.5.

The reason I decided to post is because I didn’t drop below an N-back level of 5. In my previous trainings, I would have no problem getting up to N-6, but as soon as I lost concentration, I would dip down to N-3, and even N-2 in some cases.

And the downward spiral would continue. Today was different; when I dropped from an N-6 level, I stopped and calmed my nerves.

I focused on breathing – trying to maintain 6 deep breaths per minute, and cleared my head of all distractions before I started another trial.

A big part was clearing my mind of the previous round, and totally submerging myself in the present. If in mid-round, my thoughts wandered, I ‘zoomed’ into the grid in front of me and forced myself to concentrate on what was directly in front of me.

Consistency is so important in all aspects of life. I knew I had to conquer inconsistency with by N-back trials in order to mentally grasp what consistency feels like. The focusing and re-focusing that comes with mental consistency will translate into other areas of my life. Before today’s session, I didn’t fully understand how to perform that task.

Thanks,

Kevin
