This week felt like it just flew by! It is quite a challenge for me to keep up with my daily routine and services (I still catch myself saying chores š ) that I must get done with the daily Honor Requirements. It almost felt like the beginning of Spider Man 2 when Peter was late delivering pizzas to the customer. Although I wasnāt technically late on doing anything this week (that I could recall), time just seemed to fly right by!
What I really struggle though is the reading āservicesā specifically.Ā I consider myself a somewhat of a slow reader.Ā Oh wait.Ā I take that backā¦ that was an opinion.
Why I consider myself a slow reader is that because my mind wonders off and thinks of something else while I read, and thus not really paying attention to what I am reading. At which point I catch myself and need to reread what I just read.
Since reading āScroll IIā in The Greatest Salesman in the World 3 times a day, The Master Key Part 6 once a day, and other reading material daily for our Honor Requirements, itās pretty difficult for me to concentrate what I read, let alone reading it WITH enthusiasm!
My Mom had an epiphany last night.Ā She remembered that there are audio recordings as well as printable PDFsĀ of TheĀ MasterKey System that we read once a day . So why not listen to the audio while reading the āPartā we are currently on for the week to help to stay focused! Like my Mom, I wish one of us thought of it sooner than we did.
This leads me to have the same question that my Mom has, what do you do to help youself concentrate on your daily MKMMA readings?
I guess for me I just read the card and concentrate on each sentence at a time. I do this generally to keep my focus and stop my mind from wondering. But don’t think to much about it….because when I do I feel a bit overwhelmed so I do my best to just enjoy each sentence at a time….hope that helps š
I totally get you on focused concentration! I realized I had neurological switching which causes a tiny delay in what I read & all the info would be dropped. I would also get sleepy reading. I now take a nutrient, RNA, which is in every cell in our bodies & presto, chango, I’m good to go! Now I love reading & it’s easy. You can get RNA at most health food stores. Maybe this will help…hope you! Congrats for doing the work no matter what!
Audio recordings – wow! thank you thank you thank you for sharing – they are going to help me so much this week when I’m hiking up mountains. God bless
Hey there Dillon…thanks for sharing…sometimes I read outloud even though we are not required to read aloud until the last reading of the evening…sometimes, I have to re-read a sentence, or I say to myself or out loud, “focus Dedee, focus!”, and sometimes I read it with a southern accent, or different voice just for fun…whatever makes it come alive…hope this gives you some ideas. Love your blog posts!
Thanks for everyone for your suggestions, I think it’ll help me with my concentration!
