Memory Improvement and Becoming Vegan

So where do I begin? This is my first post for this blog and I will use this to tell about the things you can expect from me in the following weeks.

I have always been interested in a lot of things. The problem with me is focusing on one thing at a time. By writing about my experiences I hope to be able to focus on a single subject at a time. Below is a brief description of things I’m working on right now.

Memory improvement
I’ve always had a fascination for the seemingly unlimited powers of the mind. After seeing some of the stuff Derren Brown comes up with in his programs, I decided to explore the subject of memory improvement a little further. I am (re)reading some of the books on this subject I already have at home (by Dominic O’Brien and Tony Buzan) and I have ordered Kevin Trudeau’s Mega Memory and Harry Lorayne’s Secrets Of Mind Power. I already know some of the techniques involved in memory improvement. Now I will sit down and actually do some of the exercises. Furthermore, I’m reading up on the subject of eidetic memory (also known as photographic memory). Expect a post from me about this subject in a week or so.

Becoming vegan
I have always been a meat eater. It was my favorite part of the meal. I would rather eat two pieces of meat and limit the number of potatoes and vegetables on my plate. But after hearing so many great experiences from people in the personal development ‘scene’, I decided to go without meat for 30 days. The main reason was to get more energy. Laura (my girlfriend) joined in, so that made it easier to cook meals at home.

A few months ago I read The Food Revolution by John Robbins and it has made a big impact on me. It’s not just a book about food and health. It’s about health in general: yourself, animals and the health of our planet. That became the next step to becoming vegan. No more animal products for me.

Now after a few months we don’t get the energy level we hoped for. In fact, it could be less than before. That’s the reason why we’re looking for ways to improve our energy level. We both don’t wanna go back to eating meat or other animal products for ethical reasons. We already found a few ways to increase our energy and will keep you up to date with our progress on this subject. (Update: here’s the post on how to increase your energy level as a vegan).

That’s it for now. Take care and until next time.
