Are you frustrated with forgetfulness and want to regain your sharp memory? Look no further! I specialize in memory retraining, helping individuals like you unlock the full potential of your brain and reclaim your memory.

Problems Individuals Face with Memory:
🔸 Struggling to remember important information and events
🔸 Feeling frustrated and embarrassed by frequent memory lapses
🔸 Finding it challenging to focus and retain new information
🔸 Longing to regain mental clarity and enhance cognitive abilities
🔸 Staying employed

What if you could rid yourself of frustrations and forgetfulness?
✨ How would it feel to have a razor-sharp memory and effortlessly recall information?
✨ What impact would it have on your personal and professional life if you could boost your cognitive abilities?
✨ Imagine the possibilities of regaining mental clarity and experiencing a new level of mental agility. How would that transform your life?
✨ What if you could retain your job or improve at it and get a promotion?

I am here to provide the solution you've been searching for. With my expertise in memory retraining, I help individuals retrain their brains, enhance memory retention, and unlock their cognitive potential. I used this exact system to recover from not 1 but 2 brain injuries [but that’s a story for another time].

💬 Testimonial: "Since I’ve been a child, I’ve always had a “complex” about not remembering people’s names. I would find myself nervous and self-conscious. Imagine my sense of freedom upon finding this not to be a problem anymore.” As you know, I work in the media, meetings daily with numerous people in broadcasting, radio, and print. Remembering names is essential. The techniques that you so capably and entertainingly taught have been immensely useful. I feel very confident upon meeting new people and actually have fun using your techniques. Thanks, again.

Mark Entrekin: What sparked your passion, helping them unlock their own potential.

102
00:11:36.966 --> 00:11:44.719
vicki mizel: What really happened was, I learned this memory system in an hour when back.

103
00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:45.160
Mark Entrekin: Wow!

104
00:11:45.160 --> 00:11:50.250
vicki mizel: Back in 1981 I learned the 1st lesson, and I was substitute teaching.

105
00:11:50.420 --> 00:11:56.859
vicki mizel: and I went in the classroom, and I was able to teach the kids what I had just learned.

106
00:11:57.180 --> 00:12:21.660
vicki mizel: and then what? I noticed that instead of the end of the day being tired of being with kids all day. I felt enlivened and excited, and then, as the weeks went on, and I learned more and more as a substitute teacher, you you don't have control of the classroom. You don't know their names. They're they're always playing tricks on you because the regular teachers not there.

107
00:12:21.870 --> 00:12:28.670
vicki mizel: So I said to the kids. Listen. I learned this river system. I want to go around. Just see if I can memorize your names.

108
00:12:28.780 --> 00:12:35.860
vicki mizel: And I ended up being able to memorize all the kids names, and at the end of the class they applauded me.

109
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:47.320
vicki mizel: So I thought, well, that's encouraging. I'll do it again. So I did it the next class and the next class and the next class. And then what I noticed was, I started seeing little pictures in my mind

110
00:12:48.114 --> 00:12:53.579
vicki mizel: to help. That helped me remember their name. So I made the name a picture.

111
00:12:53.940 --> 00:13:07.370
vicki mizel: and so from practicing the method. And then within a year, I ended up becoming a consultant in the school system in San Diego as the memory consultant, and this was the one that really

112
00:13:07.670 --> 00:13:10.779
vicki mizel: made a difference. I was hired for 5 years

113
00:13:11.090 --> 00:13:36.249
vicki mizel: I did 120 memory lessons in 60 different schools. So I go in and teach the basic method. Then I. The next day I would teach them a method called the sounds like, or I teach them large amounts of information that can help them use keywords to help. Remember the main ideas of things. So it helped them with their writing and helped them with their test taking.

114
00:13:36.910 --> 00:13:42.499
vicki mizel: And after 5 years of it my brain had changed completely changed.

115
00:13:42.600 --> 00:13:47.049
vicki mizel: I could write better. I could read with better comprehension.

116
00:13:47.180 --> 00:14:07.840
vicki mizel: I got braver at things that I didn't know how to do, that I tried to do like writing children's books, decided to be a therapist, you know, wrote a book, and then I thought, Well, I really want to act so. I was able to then memorize the scripts with acting. But the the real key, the real real thing, was.

117
00:14:08.220 --> 00:14:10.800
vicki mizel: the lights are going on in the brain.

118
00:14:11.050 --> 00:14:19.510
vicki mizel: and I knew the brain was regenerating. And at that time, back in 1980, 83,

119
00:14:19.740 --> 00:14:37.790
vicki mizel: literally to 1998, I knew the brain could regenerate. But doctors said, oh, no, no, they can't regenerate. Science says it can't regenerate, I said. Look, I'm having experiences. My students were having experiences started working with older adults. Even Alzheimer's people. They started improving.

120
00:14:37.790 --> 00:14:38.490
Mark Entrekin: One of them.

121
00:14:38.490 --> 00:14:48.740
vicki mizel: And that's when I knew in my heart that this is my destiny. My, you know what I feel is, if I can turn on everyone's brain.

122
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:52.969
vicki mizel: and they have then the brain fluid, the juice

123
00:14:53.270 --> 00:15:05.240
vicki mizel: to be able to focus, to be able to see the vision of what they want to see happen to be able to manifest their best self, their best life.

124
00:15:05.430 --> 00:15:14.769
vicki mizel: You know, the world would be different. We'd have a really happy, blossoming world if everybody chose the thing they really wanted to do, and had the confidence to do it.

125
00:15:15.330 --> 00:15:21.169
vicki mizel: So it it was just amazing. Every time I'd use it I'd have success.

126
00:15:22.900 --> 00:15:26.849
Mark Entrekin: That that is amazing. And as I hear you talk about that.

127
00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:36.719
Mark Entrekin: I think about the people that I coach and deal with it, and and speak to that. Oh, wait a minute, that's work you're talking about memory. Wait a minute. Mean, I have to work for this.

128
00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:39.230
Mark Entrekin: But yeah, I'm hearing you say it's pretty easy.

129
00:15:39.460 --> 00:15:43.329
vicki mizel: Yeah. So the old, the old

130
00:15:43.580 --> 00:16:07.049
vicki mizel: attitude of memory was those spelling tests we had every single Friday. So you have to get the definition. You have to look up the definition and the vote, the dictionary. You had to write it out. You had to repeat and repeat and repeat, memorize, repeat, and the minute you passed the test you had no memory as to what was going on. You just knew you had to pass the test.

131
00:16:07.050 --> 00:16:09.120
Mark Entrekin: That was my whole college career. Yes.

132
00:16:10.290 --> 00:16:16.820
vicki mizel: So memory usually is equivalent to boring, repetitive, and no fun.

133
00:16:17.300 --> 00:16:27.230
vicki mizel: What's different about this is like if you take your 5 things so, and you turn them into pictures.

134
00:16:28.130 --> 00:16:34.080
vicki mizel: And when you have something visual, something in motion and something unusual.

135
00:16:34.280 --> 00:16:40.439
vicki mizel: and you connect it all together, it helps with having literally outstanding recall.

136
00:16:40.750 --> 00:16:42.890
vicki mizel: So if we look at focus.

137
00:16:43.040 --> 00:16:46.020
vicki mizel: and how do we make a picture of focus?

138
00:16:46.270 --> 00:16:50.809
vicki mizel: So immediately I could see either a pair of glasses or more ideally.

139
00:16:53.070 --> 00:16:58.810
vicki mizel: One of those telescopes right? Because you're looking at the stars, and you're

140
00:16:59.190 --> 00:17:08.090
vicki mizel: then for success. I would imagine a trophy. Somebody winning a trophy. With this method you would have

141
00:17:08.869 --> 00:17:13.269
vicki mizel: me doing something creative or interesting with the telescope.

142
00:17:13.470 --> 00:17:18.530
vicki mizel: Then I'd move out of the picture. Then you'd have a telescope with a trophy.

143
00:17:18.710 --> 00:17:25.449
vicki mizel: Now, although a telescope can't do anything normally with a trophy. If you animate it.

144
00:17:25.560 --> 00:17:28.100
vicki mizel: you bring these objects to life.

145
00:17:28.560 --> 00:17:31.480
vicki mizel: Then you could have the telescope

146
00:17:32.177 --> 00:17:37.150
vicki mizel: shaking and dancing with the trophy. I won and won.

147
00:17:37.570 --> 00:17:45.040
vicki mizel: and then for reality, the 1st thing comes to my mind would be reality TV.

148
00:17:45.540 --> 00:17:52.105
vicki mizel: So the trophy, then, let's say, is turning on the TV or

149
00:17:53.230 --> 00:18:01.050
vicki mizel: working, working with the remote or something like that on the TV solutions. Immediately. I think of science like chemicals.

150
00:18:01.530 --> 00:18:04.179
vicki mizel: So like a

151
00:18:04.500 --> 00:18:14.509
vicki mizel: lab, one of those little lab jars full of some kind of solution. And the TV could be waiting or swimming in the solution.

152
00:18:14.750 --> 00:18:21.059
vicki mizel: And then dynamics. It doesn't really naturally come as a picture.

153
00:18:21.270 --> 00:18:26.529
vicki mizel: But if you think of Elvis Presley right? He was really dynamic.

154
00:18:26.690 --> 00:18:32.550
vicki mizel: So then the solution could be let's say, falling on his hair.

155
00:18:33.060 --> 00:18:38.570
vicki mizel: So now you've got these pictures, then you connect them with an action verb.

156
00:18:38.740 --> 00:18:41.990
vicki mizel: And then you recall, re-seen the pictures.

157
00:18:42.280 --> 00:18:48.850
vicki mizel: Then you'll have you know you start with the telescope focus. What's the telescope doing?

158
00:18:49.240 --> 00:19:01.340
vicki mizel: You see the trophy? What's the trophy doing, you know, turning on jumping on the TV. The TV is waiting or swimming in the solution. And then the solution is.

159
00:19:01.450 --> 00:19:06.649
vicki mizel: you know, so anyone can make up different pictures. I made them up just for short of time.

160
00:19:06.770 --> 00:19:13.979
vicki mizel: But usually I if I'm teaching someone, I ask them, what do you see? What would you see for, like, what would you see for focus.

161
00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:24.590
Mark Entrekin: 1st thing I think of. When I think of focus, I think the glasses I can see very well, but there's just time. Something is too small. And so I have my set of reading glasses.

162
00:19:24.590 --> 00:19:26.319
Mark Entrekin: Yeah, that's that's why I use for focus.

163
00:19:26.320 --> 00:19:33.349
vicki mizel: Perfect, perfect. And then what would you see for success? What would picture would come to your mind for success?

164
00:19:33.670 --> 00:19:41.160
Mark Entrekin: Jumping up and down, hands in the air, waving that success. Somebody has won something. Someone has succeeded somewhere.

165
00:19:41.520 --> 00:19:48.790
vicki mizel: And then well, how could you see it as a symbol? Would you see a trophy, or a ribbon, or a gold medal, or something like that?

166
00:19:49.930 --> 00:19:57.230
Mark Entrekin: Great question, because I always like the action. So I'm still for the person jumping. I think the person hands in the air

167
00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:00.170
Mark Entrekin: would be that success.

168
00:20:00.610 --> 00:20:06.050
vicki mizel: Okay. So you could do that. And even you could make it a a person, or even a statue.

169
00:20:06.700 --> 00:20:07.220
Mark Entrekin: Could be.

170
00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:14.380
vicki mizel: So you could have. Then what would you see the telescope doing to the success model?

171
00:20:14.590 --> 00:20:16.300
vicki mizel: That's an action verb.

172
00:20:16.780 --> 00:20:23.729
Mark Entrekin: If I were to see a telescope with an action model, this telescope to me says something's a long way away.

173
00:20:24.380 --> 00:20:26.880
Mark Entrekin: It wouldn't be something I would see

174
00:20:27.020 --> 00:20:30.310
Mark Entrekin: of something close, like something that I've won.

175
00:20:30.560 --> 00:20:37.039
Mark Entrekin: So if I wanted to be that focus, I would do something like the pair glasses, and then the jumping up and down.

176
00:20:37.150 --> 00:20:40.140
Mark Entrekin: I don't know where I would. I don't know if I could.

177
00:20:40.140 --> 00:20:44.260
vicki mizel: Mine. The telescope was mine, so I made a mistake. I made a mistake, so.

178
00:20:44.260 --> 00:20:44.610
Mark Entrekin: It's okay.

179
00:20:44.610 --> 00:20:51.040
vicki mizel: What would. What would you see the glasses doing with the person jumping up and down? Maybe we'll give them a gold medal as well.

180
00:20:51.670 --> 00:21:01.869
Mark Entrekin: I would see that it's possible I can see that success is ahead. There is a light at the end of that tunnel, and I can reach it. I can see it.

181
00:21:02.760 --> 00:21:10.150
vicki mizel: So that's all great. So that's the memory system is really taking an idea, something making it tangible.

182
00:21:10.330 --> 00:21:14.410
vicki mizel: So let's say the the glasses are

183
00:21:14.857 --> 00:21:28.940
vicki mizel: could be like you said it could be dancing. It's all excited with the success of the person jumping up and down, and maybe a little trophy. So the idea is you want to just take one item, link it to the next.

184
00:21:29.110 --> 00:21:42.330
vicki mizel: Then that's 1 picture, then the next side, like one to 2, then 2 to 3, 3 to 4 like that. So you you want to make sure everything's a picture, and you're using an action verb, and they're touching.

185
00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:53.969
vicki mizel: And then with those images, you can superimpose exactly the feelings like the feelings you're talking about the content that conception of it.

186
00:21:54.140 --> 00:22:08.229
vicki mizel: And then let's do one more. Let's imagine the success. The person jumping up and down with the trophy. What could they be doing? To what would reality be for you? What would. What's 1 tangible item you could see for reality.

187
00:22:10.420 --> 00:22:11.920
Mark Entrekin: Another speaking engagement.

188
00:22:12.520 --> 00:22:14.419
vicki mizel: Okay? So as a

189
00:22:15.007 --> 00:22:22.439
vicki mizel: could you see that as maybe a picture of you standing in front of an audience speaking or at a podium, speaking.

190
00:22:22.600 --> 00:22:23.430
Mark Entrekin: Sure.

191
00:22:23.430 --> 00:22:26.010
vicki mizel: Okay? So then you would have

192
00:22:26.180 --> 00:22:35.329
vicki mizel: the. Let's let's let's keep it with nouns. Then you would have the trophy. And what could you see the trophy doing to

193
00:22:35.720 --> 00:22:40.149
vicki mizel: either? That picture of you speaking.

194
00:22:41.440 --> 00:22:44.110
Mark Entrekin: That shows the win. That shows that it's accomplished. That shows.

195
00:22:44.110 --> 00:22:47.769
vicki mizel: Verb, an action verb where the 2 items you're actually touching.

196
00:22:50.070 --> 00:22:58.270
Mark Entrekin: That was for the trophy would be the action, for the trophy would be for me. The success is reached. You don't receive the trophy until it's over.

197
00:22:58.270 --> 00:23:09.259
vicki mizel: Right. But what I'm saying is, we're, I'm teaching you the actual technique I kind of jumped into soon. So the memory system goes. One item on the left, another on the right.

198
00:23:09.260 --> 00:23:09.970
Mark Entrekin: Okay.

199
00:23:09.970 --> 00:23:19.030
vicki mizel: You link the 2 by an action verb ending in ing where they're physically touching. Then you visualize seeing that action occurring

200
00:23:19.740 --> 00:23:32.690
vicki mizel: where they're touching, and then you recall by re-seeing the picture. So what happens when you re-see the picture? It makes synapses the little let's called tree branches in your brain

201
00:23:35.550 --> 00:23:40.913
vicki mizel: shoot out, or the synapse is kind of like the it's like

202
00:23:41.920 --> 00:23:51.199
vicki mizel: the synapse fires or releases dendrites are more like little trees in your brain like brain cells that are multiplying.

203
00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:53.859
vicki mizel: So the idea is to have.

204
00:23:54.370 --> 00:24:01.760
vicki mizel: instead of a conception of this is great, and I feel good. You would say, I see

205
00:24:02.030 --> 00:24:09.479
vicki mizel: myself, maybe, putting putting on my glasses, or I'm so I'm wiping my glasses, making them ready.

206
00:24:09.610 --> 00:24:14.809
vicki mizel: Then the glasses, instead of a person jumping up and down. Maybe you could have the trophy.

207
00:24:14.910 --> 00:24:21.870
vicki mizel: and the glasses are are wearing the trophy, and it's dancing because it's so happy it won.

208
00:24:22.460 --> 00:24:22.830
Mark Entrekin: Sure.

209
00:24:22.830 --> 00:24:24.103
vicki mizel: Trophy could.

210
00:24:25.464 --> 00:24:34.990
vicki mizel: What would you see? Oh, then the trophy could actually fall onto the picture of you speaking at the pulpit with an audience.

211
00:24:35.620 --> 00:24:54.710
vicki mizel: So that's that's the key to it. That helps with focus. It helps with concentration. It helps to picture things. And then it helps the recall. And then by doing that action over and over again, you're making more synapses fire, and you're having more new dendrites grow in your brain.

212
00:24:56.100 --> 00:24:59.699
Mark Entrekin: I see what you're saying, because that keys things to remember.

213
00:24:59.950 --> 00:25:08.740
Mark Entrekin: And those actions like you're talking about the Ing's show, that action of winning of achieving in in this, in this example, right.

214
00:25:08.740 --> 00:25:22.690
vicki mizel: Exactly, and then you can when you use it for goals like a lot of time, a lot of times. If let's say so, I want to make an A, you know. Then you actually would visualize a paper

215
00:25:22.840 --> 00:25:24.890
vicki mizel: with a big A on it.

216
00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:28.920
vicki mizel: you know, being handed to you by the teacher. If you're a student.

217
00:25:29.030 --> 00:25:32.840
vicki mizel: let's say you're an architect.

218
00:25:33.010 --> 00:25:46.530
vicki mizel: and you've got your plans. But you're you know you're drafting and laboriously going over the plans. But the thing that keeps you motivated is, oh, I can see this home after it's built.

219
00:25:46.830 --> 00:26:04.769
vicki mizel: I can see families, kids peeking through the windows. I can see barbecue steak, you know, being cooked, I see a sprinkler going, and so when you picture things as the end result.

220
00:26:05.260 --> 00:26:14.519
vicki mizel: it helps you be able to stay on track and stay till the end. The motivation, because of the reward that you'll get for doing it.

221
00:26:14.870 --> 00:26:21.729
Mark Entrekin: That's awesome. I like the way you're talking about that. And as you mentioned that reward you get for doing it and for memory it, remembering it

222
00:26:21.940 --> 00:26:26.570
Mark Entrekin: and your memory I can also see as the coach.

223
00:26:26.670 --> 00:26:29.510
Mark Entrekin: You're also showing people how to pull a better attitude.

224
00:26:29.840 --> 00:26:30.570
Mark Entrekin: Oh, my God!

225
00:26:30.570 --> 00:26:31.720
Mark Entrekin: Hi process.

226
00:26:31.900 --> 00:26:39.639
vicki mizel: Well that you know you're hitting. I'm I'm I'm trying to sit down, I think. Can you still see me? Okay.

227
00:26:39.640 --> 00:26:40.320
Mark Entrekin: Yes.

228
00:26:40.320 --> 00:26:41.050
vicki mizel: Okay.

229
00:26:41.370 --> 00:26:53.509
vicki mizel: So one of the questions that when I was reviewing you said, How does this help with self-esteem? How does it help with mindset. How does it help with motivation

230
00:26:54.960 --> 00:27:02.589
vicki mizel: when when you have success, when you're practicing something, you have success, it makes you feel good, and you want to keep going.

231
00:27:02.900 --> 00:27:07.199
vicki mizel: But I had some last chance kids.

232
00:27:07.450 --> 00:27:13.159
vicki mizel: and they just wanted to be rewarded for showing up. And I taught them the memory system.

233
00:27:13.600 --> 00:27:15.690
vicki mizel: and I taught them a little

234
00:27:16.210 --> 00:27:19.870
vicki mizel: something. I said, Do you guys know what intrinsic means?

235
00:27:20.200 --> 00:27:22.870
vicki mizel: And they said, No, and I said, Well, you need

236
00:27:23.490 --> 00:27:28.299
vicki mizel: for you to be successful and happy. You need to have intrinsic motivation.

237
00:27:28.510 --> 00:27:31.420
vicki mizel: So think of in a hotel.

238
00:27:31.560 --> 00:27:36.729
vicki mizel: Trin might remind you me for sure of rin, tin, tin.

239
00:27:37.090 --> 00:27:41.860
vicki mizel: the dog and sick. Maybe he's getting sick.

240
00:27:42.090 --> 00:28:01.830
vicki mizel: I said. If if you're anyway, I was just using the sounds thing. I don't want to confuse people. But bottom line. What happened was I was teaching them the linking method, teaching goals, teaching vocabulary, and within one week they all went up at least one grade level. By 2 weeks. Some of.

241
00:28:01.830 --> 00:28:02.440
Mark Entrekin: Wow!

242
00:28:02.440 --> 00:28:10.329
vicki mizel: Up 2 grade levels. That's why I ended up being a consultant because the results were so phenomenal in such a short time.

243
00:28:10.720 --> 00:28:15.479
vicki mizel: But what happened that one of the teachers noticed is she? Said Vicki.

244
00:28:16.130 --> 00:28:22.960
vicki mizel: Not only are they improving their grade, but have you noticed so and so is standing more erect.

245
00:28:24.030 --> 00:28:31.340
vicki mizel: and the kids are somehow being nicer to each other, and they're even dressing better.

246
00:28:32.380 --> 00:28:43.799
vicki mizel: And I thought, That's what happens when you feel good about who you are. Then you want to match that with better clothes, better behavior, better everything. It's the same concept as beauticians

247
00:28:44.020 --> 00:28:47.250
vicki mizel: that love making people look beautiful.

248
00:28:47.630 --> 00:28:55.600
vicki mizel: because when you look beautiful you want to feel more beautiful. So if you're looking beautiful, you're not going to want to just eat a

249
00:28:56.160 --> 00:29:14.489
vicki mizel: a greasy, greasy spoon something, because it would mess up the good looks, you know. So you want to have fresher fruit and more protein keep. And now I want my skin to look better. Now I want my body to look better now I want. So that's really from the practice of this simple thing.

250
00:29:16.660 --> 00:29:27.099
vicki mizel: you know, putting on glasses, glances, glasses, dancing with the trophy, the trophy. Let's say, skipping on the picture

251
00:29:27.490 --> 00:29:36.880
vicki mizel: of you speaking just those little simple things you just made like 30 million new neural branches.

252
00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:41.680
vicki mizel: So if you practice it, whether you're using it to remember names

253
00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:49.180
vicki mizel: and making names of the names of picture like Mark, you could see a check, Mark Vicky. You could see Vic's cough drops.

254
00:29:49.790 --> 00:29:54.612
vicki mizel: I have a cat named Isabel, so I think of

255
00:29:55.990 --> 00:30:02.199
vicki mizel: queen, wasn't it. Queen Isabel, who who gave Columbus the 3 boats.

256
00:30:03.860 --> 00:30:05.800
Mark Entrekin: Queen Elizabeth Queens, Elizabeth. I don't remember.

257
00:30:05.800 --> 00:30:09.120
vicki mizel: Oh, yeah, that. Yeah. I think that was Isabella.

258
00:30:09.480 --> 00:30:13.319
vicki mizel: Okay? Oh, I knew now because it was a boat. You're right. Yes.

259
00:30:14.010 --> 00:30:22.149
vicki mizel: so you could make these pictures. So whether you're using it for goals or lists or presentation skills.

260
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:32.390
vicki mizel: it's going to stimulate and increase the brain power. And you'll just get stronger and stronger and stronger as you use it and practice it.

261
00:30:33.460 --> 00:30:39.089
vicki mizel: And then things just start happening that you don't expect, the same as

262
00:30:40.490 --> 00:31:01.399
vicki mizel: I had a chiropractor one time, and he worked out every day. Every day. He said there was a lot of heart issues in his family. So he worked out, worked out, worked out. So from working out he had good muscle tone improved his heart. It gave him stamina and strength, and then turned out. One day he had a heart attack.

263
00:31:02.210 --> 00:31:10.539
vicki mizel: and he went to the hospital. He said, I don't understand this. I take care of myself. I wake up early. I have, you know, good life.

264
00:31:10.680 --> 00:31:13.460
vicki mizel: And they said, Well, sometimes it's inherited.

265
00:31:13.750 --> 00:31:17.360
vicki mizel: And then they said, had he not

266
00:31:17.470 --> 00:31:22.340
vicki mizel: had such a great body and so much from working out.

267
00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:34.470
vicki mizel: they wouldn't have been able to save his life, but because he was so strong they were able to revive him and get him a new heart, and or do whatever they needed to do, and he.

268
00:31:34.470 --> 00:31:34.870
Mark Entrekin: Right.

269
00:31:34.870 --> 00:31:44.190
vicki mizel: And well, now, so that's the same thing with this memory system. I started using it and practicing it. When I was about 26 years old

270
00:31:44.910 --> 00:31:53.899
vicki mizel: when I was, and and I taught it. You know, all those years, consistently with the kids when I was in consultant.

271
00:31:54.990 --> 00:31:57.350
vicki mizel: And then I started dreaming in color.

272
00:31:57.610 --> 00:32:03.870
vicki mizel: My reading comprehension improved dramatically. My acting improved

273
00:32:04.170 --> 00:32:10.989
vicki mizel: just there were so many I started dreaming in color which I hadn't been able to do before a lot of people can do that.

274
00:32:11.820 --> 00:32:18.389
vicki mizel: And then at 42, I got in a terrible car accident. A big rig truck

275
00:32:18.550 --> 00:32:24.340
vicki mizel: didn't see me, and he hit me not once, not twice. He hit me 3 times, and if I.

276
00:32:24.340 --> 00:32:24.860
Mark Entrekin: I've been.

277
00:32:24.860 --> 00:32:33.059
vicki mizel: In a Volkswagen I would have been dead, but I was in an Amc. Eagle, and it totaled the Amc. Eagle, which is like an armored tank.

278
00:32:34.300 --> 00:32:39.529
vicki mizel: and because I had spent 18 years prior to that teaching, memory, training

279
00:32:39.640 --> 00:32:43.009
vicki mizel: and growing all these neural branches in my brain.

280
00:32:44.352 --> 00:32:51.430
vicki mizel: It took me. It took me about 6 years to fully recover using the memory system.

281
00:32:51.430 --> 00:32:52.200
Mark Entrekin: Wow!

282
00:32:52.200 --> 00:32:55.509
vicki mizel: And teaching the memory system to older adults.

283
00:32:55.670 --> 00:33:01.209
vicki mizel: and because it was pointed out to me by a a genius engineer who was 85,

284
00:33:01.380 --> 00:33:25.529
vicki mizel: he said. You need your own memory system to get better, and you're slow. Old people are slow. Why don't you go teach old people your memory system, and they'll get better, and you get you'll get better. And that's what happened. But I think I was able to recover fully. Go back to teach. Go on to write the book about all this that happened because I had been using it.

285
00:33:26.320 --> 00:33:27.010
vicki mizel: Oh, wow!

286
00:33:27.010 --> 00:33:30.070
Mark Entrekin: That makes sense. It's like a muscle, isn't it, Vicki?

287
00:33:30.720 --> 00:33:32.709
Mark Entrekin: It's actually building a muscle.

288
00:33:32.710 --> 00:33:42.199
vicki mizel: Yeah, you're building a muscle, and I have a friend named Lynn. She's in New York. I taught her the memory system when she was 65.

289
00:33:42.710 --> 00:33:47.080
vicki mizel: She's a hundred now, and she's still performing.

290
00:33:48.790 --> 00:33:50.470
Mark Entrekin: That is wonderful.

291
00:33:50.470 --> 00:33:56.609
vicki mizel: Yeah. So her brain, her brain, is better at a hundred than it was at 95,

292
00:33:57.630 --> 00:34:03.889
vicki mizel: and part of the change. Besides the picture method in memory really had to do with.

293
00:34:04.120 --> 00:34:10.370
vicki mizel: She got a caregiver who only spoke Russian and she knew Russian.

294
00:34:10.610 --> 00:34:15.550
vicki mizel: so she would speak Russian morning, noon, and night with this caregiver.

295
00:34:15.790 --> 00:34:27.270
vicki mizel: So she's getting all this stimulation, and the caregiver made her homemade meals every night, so she had lots of meats and chicken and fresh vegetables.

296
00:34:27.270 --> 00:34:28.239
Mark Entrekin: Good food.

297
00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:35.739
vicki mizel: This woman is fantastic. She's a hundred years old, and acts no different than she did at 65.

298
00:34:36.370 --> 00:34:37.560
Mark Entrekin: Excellent.

299
00:34:39.010 --> 00:34:43.530
vicki mizel: So that's why I say to people, don't wait till you have a memory problem

300
00:34:43.699 --> 00:34:50.970
vicki mizel: like you wouldn't. You wouldn't wait to do leg exercises until you're crippled.

301
00:34:51.370 --> 00:34:52.730
vicki mizel: You wouldn't do that.

302
00:34:52.739 --> 00:34:54.209
Mark Entrekin: Good point.

303
00:34:54.210 --> 00:35:12.930
vicki mizel: You want to. If you play tennis, you want to run, you want to build up. You want to do push-ups and leg lifts and dumbbells. And then you're going to be even more effective on the court. So this is the same thing. If you start memory training today

304
00:35:13.050 --> 00:35:17.060
vicki mizel: and you practice it a little bit every day.

305
00:35:17.170 --> 00:35:22.870
vicki mizel: Then you're going to get stronger and stronger and stronger, and better, and better and better and better, and

306
00:35:23.190 --> 00:35:24.969
vicki mizel: you don't have to stop.

307
00:35:26.220 --> 00:35:29.969
Mark Entrekin: Well, Vicki, I like what you're saying, because, as I joked about earlier.

308
00:35:30.120 --> 00:35:39.000
Mark Entrekin: I know when I was going through college, I started out in chemical engineering, remembering all these terms and all these math classes that I was having to take and remember all these equations.

309
00:35:39.170 --> 00:35:41.879
Mark Entrekin: And for me it was one of those that

310
00:35:41.990 --> 00:35:49.980
Mark Entrekin: when I when I have a job, I'm going to have these equations in a book I'm not going to have to memorize all the time, so I didn't put out the effort.

311
00:35:50.330 --> 00:36:03.939
Mark Entrekin: But if I were to put out that effort from what I'm hearing you saying, it probably would have increased my memory not only and remembering those equations and those that terminology, but it would be helping to me even today.

312
00:36:04.250 --> 00:36:09.220
Mark Entrekin: so to build that muscle, that muscle can stay strong right.

313
00:36:09.570 --> 00:36:14.199
vicki mizel: Absolutely, and then it just enhances more and more like

314
00:36:14.470 --> 00:36:25.015
vicki mizel: you get other abilities of the brain. You get intuitive thoughts that come in pictures like when when

315
00:36:26.280 --> 00:36:27.860
vicki mizel: for example.

316
00:36:28.980 --> 00:36:39.869
vicki mizel: when I was teaching the kids early on, and I'd had 3 days of teaching in my memorized, you know, 6 different classes of names

317
00:36:40.340 --> 00:36:54.160
vicki mizel: on the let's say, Monday through Wednesday on Wednesday afternoon, a kid who I'd had Monday sees me in the in the hallway, and she goes, Miss, what's my name? Do you remember my name?

318
00:36:54.660 --> 00:37:10.049
vicki mizel: And so I was like, Oh, my gosh! Let's see! Look at her face! What's the outstanding characteristic on her face. Oh, yeah, she had big cheeks. I had marshmallows going into her cheeks. She was eating marshmallows. I go, Marsha.

319
00:37:10.270 --> 00:37:15.100
vicki mizel: she's like you did that. How'd you do that? That's so good.

320
00:37:16.130 --> 00:37:17.379
Mark Entrekin: There he is!

321
00:37:17.690 --> 00:37:30.770
vicki mizel: It was funny. And but I did make a mistake. I yeah. Oh, and the other thing was like, the 1st day it took me about 10 min to do the 2025 kids. The second day it took me 5 min.

322
00:37:31.010 --> 00:37:33.910
vicki mizel: The 3rd day it took me 2 min.

323
00:37:34.200 --> 00:37:34.590
Mark Entrekin: Wow!

324
00:37:34.590 --> 00:37:40.599
vicki mizel: Started getting bored. So then the next group, I started memorizing last names 1st and last names.

325
00:37:40.720 --> 00:37:44.359
vicki mizel: And so one kid whose name was Tommy Rowe.

326
00:37:44.500 --> 00:37:50.650
vicki mizel: and he had really big ears. So I imagine these wares.

327
00:37:50.930 --> 00:37:57.050
vicki mizel: Tom, Tom, Tom's and they were rowing. They were rowing his ears.

328
00:37:57.390 --> 00:38:00.119
vicki mizel: and I call them Tommy Orr.

329
00:38:00.520 --> 00:38:03.880
vicki mizel: and he goes. No, miss, I went. I mean Tommy Rowe.

330
00:38:07.480 --> 00:38:12.460
Mark Entrekin: That is amazing. One of the things that I'm hearing you talk about Vicki

331
00:38:12.610 --> 00:38:15.610
Mark Entrekin: is for me, because there's a lot of things that

332
00:38:16.010 --> 00:38:19.020
Mark Entrekin: a lot of us listening today, and ones that will listen later.

333
00:38:19.140 --> 00:38:24.869
Mark Entrekin: We have so much going on that we just don't try to remember.

334
00:38:25.290 --> 00:38:29.130
Mark Entrekin: Did some research about memory losing your memory

335
00:38:29.340 --> 00:38:32.330
Mark Entrekin: and a lot of times. It's not about losing our memory.

336
00:38:32.450 --> 00:38:36.269
Mark Entrekin: It's a lot of what you're talking about, not practicing our memory.

337
00:38:36.430 --> 00:38:39.930
Mark Entrekin: and that if it's not important to us, we don't try.

338
00:38:40.120 --> 00:38:50.419
Mark Entrekin: And I have the thing that just says, not my issue to remember, but it needs to be because by doing that what I'm hearing you talk about, and it makes a lot of sense.

339
00:38:50.610 --> 00:38:55.099
Mark Entrekin: If I made some fun into it, if I could see

340
00:38:55.210 --> 00:39:01.559
Mark Entrekin: more value that I like to talk about. I probably would improve my memory in no time.

341
00:39:01.760 --> 00:39:08.580
vicki mizel: Oh, I mean you. It takes an hour within an hour. You already have, you know, a system

342
00:39:08.860 --> 00:39:21.400
vicki mizel: within 2 h. Then the pictures start coming by the 3rd hour, when you're applying it with names of faces and pictures. It's already starting to be automatic.

343
00:39:21.600 --> 00:39:30.679
vicki mizel: And then I've had people tell me that like they, they said, oh, I made my grocery list.

344
00:39:31.010 --> 00:39:37.190
vicki mizel: and then I used your system, and then I forgot to bring my list to the store.

345
00:39:37.600 --> 00:39:40.899
vicki mizel: and it worked. I was able to remember the oatmeal.

346
00:39:40.900 --> 00:39:41.830
Mark Entrekin: Beautiful.

347
00:39:41.830 --> 00:39:48.649
vicki mizel: Was falling into the peanut butter. The peanut butter was spreading over the cherry pie. The cherry pie was

348
00:39:50.500 --> 00:40:13.860
vicki mizel: hopping on eggs, you know, and stuff like that. So even though it's it looks like frivolous little cartoon things scientifically. You are strengthening your brain more and more and more, and more. And for me, and for those listening who have family members that have gotten dementia or Alzheimer's or heart related issues.

349
00:40:14.250 --> 00:40:19.669
vicki mizel: A lot of them are scared. They're like, Oh, my God! This is going to happen to me. I think it's going to happen to me.

350
00:40:20.000 --> 00:40:31.789
vicki mizel: Well, because I have this memory system, my family, my both my mom and dad's side. My grandparents both lost their memories, were struggling with dementia.

351
00:40:32.220 --> 00:40:33.460
vicki mizel: and

352
00:40:33.760 --> 00:40:45.219
vicki mizel: I don't have knock on wood, but I don't have any fear of having dementia, because I've now been practicing the system, teaching it 25 years, but I got exposed to it 40 years ago.

353
00:40:45.460 --> 00:40:49.169
vicki mizel: so there were a 10 year period. I was teaching drama.

354
00:40:49.410 --> 00:41:02.499
vicki mizel: and and I was not teaching the memory system, but it changed my fate. I am not going into a nursing home. I'm going to audiences. I'm going to speak. I'm going on.

355
00:41:02.500 --> 00:41:03.560
Mark Entrekin: Attitude.

356
00:41:03.560 --> 00:41:10.689
vicki mizel: I'm going to cultures. And oh, and when I was in foreign countries like Russia.

357
00:41:10.980 --> 00:41:19.719
vicki mizel: I I wanted to make sure I learned. Thank you, and goodbye, you know. So thank you. In Russia is Spa siba

358
00:41:20.040 --> 00:41:29.210
vicki mizel: spasima, you you speak Russian, and so, Spa. What would Spa remind you of.

359
00:41:30.290 --> 00:41:31.179
Mark Entrekin: Hot tub.

360
00:41:31.180 --> 00:41:35.970
vicki mizel: Yeah, perfect. And then the C, what would you see?

361
00:41:36.240 --> 00:41:37.960
Mark Entrekin: The Csea. We went to the.

362
00:41:37.960 --> 00:41:41.409
vicki mizel: And what could you see the hot tub doing to the sea?

363
00:41:45.580 --> 00:41:47.869
Mark Entrekin: Hot tub doing to the sea, warming it up.

364
00:41:48.100 --> 00:41:59.870
vicki mizel: Yeah, it could be pouring into it exactly and warming it up. And then let's imagine out of the sea is a little behind sheep, and it's so happy it's out of the water, it says, Thank you.

365
00:42:00.140 --> 00:42:15.029
vicki mizel: So then it becomes really, really fun, really, really fun. And so I'm getting excited about wanting to learn new languages, you know, to go to different countries, teach this in different cultures.

366
00:42:15.240 --> 00:42:20.989
vicki mizel: And so I literally feel like I'm 20 again. And I just turned 70.

367
00:42:21.990 --> 00:42:23.320
Mark Entrekin: Congratulations.

368
00:42:23.605 --> 00:42:25.599
vicki mizel: Thank you, and since my friend is.

369
00:42:25.600 --> 00:42:26.060
Mark Entrekin: For.

370
00:42:26.060 --> 00:42:32.929
vicki mizel: Still performing at a hundred. Now I have a new mindset. My mindset is

371
00:42:33.040 --> 00:42:37.040
vicki mizel: well, you just do whatever you've always been doing that you love.

372
00:42:37.380 --> 00:42:42.209
vicki mizel: She's a hundred, and she's still singing. She's got a pianist.

373
00:42:42.380 --> 00:42:50.110
vicki mizel: She's she shares the stage with her granddaughter and her son, and another gentleman named Frank, who's an opera singer.

374
00:42:50.230 --> 00:42:55.909
vicki mizel: She eats whatever she wants. She loves corn on the cob, I said. Lynn, you're eating corn on the cob, she said.

375
00:42:56.140 --> 00:43:01.660
vicki mizel: Is that unique and

376
00:43:02.210 --> 00:43:11.590
vicki mizel: social life, and she's always going out to dinner, and people are coming to see her. And when I go to New York I always have a visit because

377
00:43:12.720 --> 00:43:25.560
vicki mizel: I it. It's a role model for me, just a beautiful role model for me. So now, when I'm around people 83, 87, I think. Oh, they're just kids. They're just kids because they're not a hundred.

378
00:43:26.520 --> 00:43:31.589
vicki mizel: So yeah, you know, when when you keep up, you get kept up.

379
00:43:31.850 --> 00:43:33.030
vicki mizel: That's a quote.

380
00:43:33.030 --> 00:43:36.490
Mark Entrekin: Keep up, you get kept up. Yeah, that's repeat that.

381
00:43:36.490 --> 00:43:50.830
vicki mizel: From Yogi Bajan. Yeah, in in Yoga class at that's what they would say. So, yeah, the bottom line is start today. Practice practice practice, and you can still be a CEO at 70,

382
00:43:51.070 --> 00:43:56.199
vicki mizel: you know you can still be the matriarch or the elder of your family.

383
00:43:56.470 --> 00:44:01.350
vicki mizel: One of the things a gentleman who was a

384
00:44:02.450 --> 00:44:08.689
vicki mizel: freelance reporter, and he used to write for

385
00:44:09.020 --> 00:44:16.839
vicki mizel: variety. I think it was variety, and and he said, Vicki, a lot of the they're having trouble finding a Falstaff

386
00:44:17.120 --> 00:44:26.890
vicki mizel: for a Shakespearean play because they need an older person, and they're having trouble finding older actors that can still memorize their lines.

387
00:44:29.340 --> 00:44:33.839
Mark Entrekin: And they would bring in someone like you to help them through this.

388
00:44:35.410 --> 00:44:46.299
Mark Entrekin: Well, is this is all the things that you're talking about. Maybe, I hopefully, I can tie 2 things here together. You have your brain sprout. Memory system. Is this all part of that.

389
00:44:47.170 --> 00:44:52.440
vicki mizel: Yeah, this I mean everything that happened to me and all this creativity and stuff.

390
00:44:52.700 --> 00:44:59.259
vicki mizel: I mean, I was born with certain abilities. But this. This thing got me to becoming

391
00:44:59.470 --> 00:45:01.399
vicki mizel: who I wanted to be.

392
00:45:01.750 --> 00:45:07.719
vicki mizel: So I have the hold on one second real quick.

393
00:45:13.630 --> 00:45:24.900
vicki mizel: So I have. This is called the brain sprouts, memory training, exercise, whoops, exercise, physiology for the brain.

394
00:45:24.900 --> 00:45:25.460
Mark Entrekin: Okay.

395
00:45:25.460 --> 00:45:38.329
vicki mizel: So it's 12 lessons. It literally holds your hand and takes you through all the lessons. And that's available on my website, brainsproutsmemory.com.

396
00:45:38.520 --> 00:45:39.410
vicki mizel: And then this.

397
00:45:39.410 --> 00:45:41.649
Mark Entrekin: Brain sprouts memory.com.

398
00:45:41.650 --> 00:45:46.969
vicki mizel: Yes, and then this is this is me at 3 years old.

399
00:45:47.450 --> 00:45:49.909
vicki mizel: and this is my Grandma Ida.

400
00:45:50.050 --> 00:45:53.969
vicki mizel: who? She died when she was around 73.

401
00:45:54.070 --> 00:46:04.499
vicki mizel: But when she was around 68, she started having some memory issues and little peculiar kinds of things. And so this is the book called Love Remembers.

402
00:46:04.850 --> 00:46:12.450
vicki mizel: and I in the book I tell the story of how you know I learned the memory system, and then I got hit by a big rig truck

403
00:46:12.680 --> 00:46:30.219
vicki mizel: and what I did to recover. And then I share the stories of the older adults that I was with some who had dementia. Some didn't. A lot of 95 year olds did not have dementia, and I write especially in Chapter 10 of the book.

404
00:46:30.480 --> 00:46:38.989
vicki mizel: is why some people get dementia or Alzheimer's from an emotional standpoint not just physiological at first, st

405
00:46:39.380 --> 00:46:41.420
vicki mizel: and what the key.

406
00:46:41.420 --> 00:46:42.080
Mark Entrekin: I can see that.

407
00:46:43.240 --> 00:46:52.209
vicki mizel: Yeah, a lot of people when they go through grief, and they don't actively grieve and find some purpose to keep themselves going.

408
00:46:52.320 --> 00:47:00.410
vicki mizel: will go down, or there are things they can't face, because it's just too painful because their life has changed so dramatically.

409
00:47:00.790 --> 00:47:08.999
vicki mizel: But in this book I teach the whole memory program in part 2. And then I also have another program. I I designed

410
00:47:09.130 --> 00:47:18.650
vicki mizel: called Passion Quest. Finding the work you love, loving the work you do, and it works, even if you're not working. But it's really how to redesign your life through visual pictures.

411
00:47:18.890 --> 00:47:23.490
vicki mizel: So when people retire, if they don't have a new plan.

412
00:47:23.820 --> 00:47:32.919
vicki mizel: They don't have something to retire to that invigorates them and gets them excited and gets them wanting to participate in life every day.

413
00:47:33.040 --> 00:47:38.659
vicki mizel: It sadness and discomfort and isolation can do them in.

414
00:47:39.370 --> 00:47:39.950
Mark Entrekin: Hmm.

415
00:47:39.950 --> 00:47:45.729
vicki mizel: And so with this, I just think the brain sprouts with the passion quest.

416
00:47:46.190 --> 00:47:51.690
vicki mizel: then people can continue to have a healthy life and healthy longevity.

417
00:47:52.880 --> 00:47:57.470
Mark Entrekin: And I like the way you say that, because what I heard myself thinking is, you said that

418
00:47:57.730 --> 00:48:02.490
Mark Entrekin: instead of retire because some people call that retired. They're just getting tired all over again

419
00:48:02.630 --> 00:48:14.349
Mark Entrekin: for you. When they retire, they rebuild, they work on that memory, they work on their as you mentioned their attitude, their desire to do something, and

420
00:48:15.120 --> 00:48:17.940
Mark Entrekin: to love more, about, to find what they love.

421
00:48:18.200 --> 00:48:20.840
Mark Entrekin: and then love doing what they're doing.

422
00:48:23.010 --> 00:48:27.150
vicki mizel: Yeah. When always acted, go ahead. Go ahead.

423
00:48:27.410 --> 00:48:29.959
Mark Entrekin: No, that's it. It's just one of those that

424
00:48:30.260 --> 00:48:34.590
Mark Entrekin: it changes our attitude. And too many times. And we talked about culture.

425
00:48:34.710 --> 00:48:38.530
Mark Entrekin: That's 1 of the things that I work with the most is people get out of their culture.

426
00:48:38.660 --> 00:48:40.350
Mark Entrekin: past relationships.

427
00:48:40.690 --> 00:48:50.060
Mark Entrekin: parents, whatever it may be. But to get out of that culture, because that's yesterday. And if we want to move into a better tomorrow.

428
00:48:50.180 --> 00:48:51.979
Mark Entrekin: the 1st thing we've got to do

429
00:48:52.130 --> 00:48:54.039
Mark Entrekin: is let those other cultures go

430
00:48:54.870 --> 00:48:57.840
Mark Entrekin: build upon what we have today. And as you're saying.

431
00:48:58.270 --> 00:49:10.599
Mark Entrekin: I'm tying to a subject here, but just thought of it. I want to go back. I put the winter in Mexico a couple years ago. I want to do that again. So when I do that, I'm going to take what you're saying on how to learn Spanish better.

432
00:49:10.790 --> 00:49:13.609
Mark Entrekin: I struggled, learning when I was there.

433
00:49:13.730 --> 00:49:15.889
Mark Entrekin: and this would help me do that.

434
00:49:16.050 --> 00:49:22.330
Mark Entrekin: So when I retire I will rebuild by using some of the things that you're talking about.

435
00:49:22.490 --> 00:49:26.289
Mark Entrekin: because you put a theoretical fire.

436
00:49:26.410 --> 00:49:36.659
Mark Entrekin: another symbol, that fire behind what I'm doing to get me going to start boiling my mind to, to do more, or to work better.

437
00:49:36.960 --> 00:50:04.239
vicki mizel: Yeah, that, and even adding, in pictures of yourself, seeing yourself there. So you could see yourself already having the tickets in hand, you could see yourself on on the plane, you know, wearing a summary shirt. You could see yourself in a restaurant in Mexico. You could see yourself taking a walk on the beach, you could superimpose these images.

438
00:50:04.240 --> 00:50:13.679
vicki mizel: And the other thing I learned. As I say, I've been practicing this for a long, long time, and so now everything is so automatic.

439
00:50:14.210 --> 00:50:21.980
vicki mizel: And 1 1 of the other things you can do, too. When I had that car accident it made me very scared to drive.

440
00:50:22.110 --> 00:50:28.850
vicki mizel: and especially when there's trucks on the freeway and I'm sandwiched in between 2 of them. I would shake.

441
00:50:29.760 --> 00:50:42.740
vicki mizel: So I and I still had grad school to finish, and it was about a 50 min drive. I lived in Toluca Lake at the time, and I was going to graduate school at Antioch. That was in Marina del Rey at the time.

442
00:50:43.010 --> 00:50:47.394
vicki mizel: So I thought to myself, What what can I do? Because because

443
00:50:48.280 --> 00:50:57.339
vicki mizel: and freaked out, you know, how do I get to school? I don't want to drop out. I want to be able to achieve. And so what I did is I superimposed.

444
00:50:57.690 --> 00:51:06.670
vicki mizel: seeing myself relaxed in an like an ocean, just relax, laying, feeling the waves.

445
00:51:07.060 --> 00:51:14.849
vicki mizel: breathing, seeing the sun, feeling the warmth of the sun, and then I superimpose myself in the car, driving.

446
00:51:15.300 --> 00:51:19.229
vicki mizel: feeling the warmth of the sun, feeling that wave.

447
00:51:19.740 --> 00:51:31.620
vicki mizel: and then see myself getting parking at the school, seeing myself get into the chair where the classroom was seeing myself with my diploma that I actually was going to get one.

448
00:51:32.350 --> 00:51:35.519
vicki mizel: and it reduced the anxiety tremendously.

449
00:51:35.760 --> 00:51:41.710
vicki mizel: tremendously. And so I realized you can even heal using this method

450
00:51:41.820 --> 00:51:49.309
vicki mizel: as you get better and stronger at it. And the other thing you talked about is letting go when you're letting go of something

451
00:51:50.060 --> 00:51:56.449
vicki mizel: again, can visualize a picture of yourself already already doing the thing that you want.

452
00:51:59.080 --> 00:52:14.220
Mark Entrekin: I see that, and that's so easy to think about. And of course, for me it's easy, because I already have pictures of Mexico where I want to go back to the restaurants I was in, and and to do those things. So that's excellent. Thank you just quickly. We only have about 8 min left. This has gone so fast. Your information is so

453
00:52:14.480 --> 00:52:18.670
Mark Entrekin: intriguing in so many ways. It makes me think about what we can do

454
00:52:18.840 --> 00:52:21.050
Mark Entrekin: and and how we can grow

455
00:52:22.530 --> 00:52:25.460
Mark Entrekin: one of the problems that I even today

456
00:52:25.570 --> 00:52:29.220
Mark Entrekin: think about, because I see a lot of people that memorize things. But

457
00:52:30.000 --> 00:52:34.050
Mark Entrekin: some of the things they memorize. I don't find value in memorizing them.

458
00:52:34.250 --> 00:52:39.630
Mark Entrekin: but that doesn't mean we can't use this to memorize what's valuable to us.

459
00:52:40.320 --> 00:52:43.000
vicki mizel: Yeah, you only remember what's important to you.

460
00:52:43.000 --> 00:52:48.520
Mark Entrekin: Well, that's the time that you would go through this exercise. It's a short exercise. It's a fun exercise.

461
00:52:48.910 --> 00:52:50.810
Mark Entrekin: But if you want to remember something

462
00:52:51.980 --> 00:52:53.570
Mark Entrekin: how to say. Thank you. In Russian.

463
00:52:53.750 --> 00:52:58.019
Mark Entrekin: It's something that you can do, and and then pull pull that together.

464
00:52:59.260 --> 00:53:19.800
vicki mizel: Yeah, it's it's it's really. I love this method. And I used to get bored really easily. I was just always bored as a kid. I have not been bored since I started this. I'm just not bored, and and then I play games with friends of mine like we were. We were a friend of mine, and I were driving up to Bandon

465
00:53:19.960 --> 00:53:39.009
vicki mizel: and looking at street signs, and so I said, Offer what does over remind you of? It's a little town, he said, a gopher. And I said, Oh, okay. So let's see a bunch of gophers, you know, coming out of the water, knowing that over is a nice, has nice little beaches and stuff.

466
00:53:39.120 --> 00:53:46.889
vicki mizel: So, and I wanted to share something else, too. In one of the little reviewing.

467
00:53:47.450 --> 00:53:50.870
vicki mizel: They the idea.

468
00:53:51.990 --> 00:53:59.009
vicki mizel: I what I want to get across to people is when you can trust yourself, your own intuition

469
00:53:59.270 --> 00:54:00.630
vicki mizel: and your heart

470
00:54:00.760 --> 00:54:08.010
vicki mizel: like I like. When my brother when I got the call. That said my brother had Covid, and he had 5 days to live.

471
00:54:08.300 --> 00:54:09.429
Mark Entrekin: Oh, wow!

472
00:54:09.780 --> 00:54:24.539
vicki mizel: And I was in this little town in Oregon, and the doctors dissuaded me from coming. I said, I want to come. I want to see him, and they were like, no, it's too dangerous. We have 300 people dying a day

473
00:54:24.720 --> 00:54:27.160
vicki mizel: at Mount Sinai, and I said.

474
00:54:27.680 --> 00:54:31.230
vicki mizel: Don't understand. It's just my brother and me. We don't have any

475
00:54:31.360 --> 00:54:37.080
vicki mizel: close. Relatives, or aunt and uncle are dead, or parents are dead. This is really important.

476
00:54:37.460 --> 00:54:45.909
vicki mizel: And then I told them. I called them back, and I took a walk, and I just started visualizing. And I saw. I said.

477
00:54:46.230 --> 00:54:53.119
vicki mizel: You know, 1st I got the reflection of my brother and me, and how close we are in scenes as kids.

478
00:54:53.370 --> 00:55:02.790
vicki mizel: But then I started seeing images kind of from the memory system I was like. I see myself packing my bag. I see myself taking the cat to the

479
00:55:02.960 --> 00:55:22.719
vicki mizel: board and care. I see myself on the plane. I see myself in my brother's room at the hospital. I see him eating, I see him walking. I see him walking out of the hospital. All of these things were just rushing, rushing through my brain. So when I got back to my little trailer

480
00:55:22.820 --> 00:55:27.860
vicki mizel: in Oregon, I called the doctor, and I said, I,

481
00:55:28.320 --> 00:55:31.540
vicki mizel: I just want to let you know I'm coming.

482
00:55:31.800 --> 00:55:39.819
vicki mizel: I didn't ask permission, I said, I'm coming. I just want you know. I know I I understand the danger, and I'm willing to

483
00:55:40.130 --> 00:55:41.900
vicki mizel: accept it.

484
00:55:42.480 --> 00:55:50.609
vicki mizel: and from that then on, I mean, they parted the Red Seas. They weren't letting husbands and wives see each other. They let me see my brother.

485
00:55:50.760 --> 00:55:51.100
Mark Entrekin: Oh!

486
00:55:51.100 --> 00:55:52.120
vicki mizel: And

487
00:55:52.300 --> 00:56:11.639
vicki mizel: it. I got him nutrition out of his request. It's just everything fell into place, everything. So when you say life, you you can't really plan what happens. Well, actually, you can, you can influence possibilities with picture picture picture picture picture.

488
00:56:11.640 --> 00:56:13.879
Mark Entrekin: Be an influencer. Yes.

489
00:56:14.180 --> 00:56:26.189
vicki mizel: Yeah, you really can make things happen. And then, after he was saved, a friend called me and said, You have to write a book about this. You have to write a book. He called me 13 Weeks in a row until I said, Okay, I'll write the book.

490
00:56:26.490 --> 00:56:34.369
vicki mizel: And then, as I was writing the book, I saw the book on the billboard in Times Square I saw my brother see.

491
00:56:34.720 --> 00:56:35.070
Mark Entrekin: Himself.

492
00:56:35.070 --> 00:56:42.250
vicki mizel: On the billboard in Times Square. So then, a year and a half later, after the book was published, and I hired a Pr. Person.

493
00:56:42.420 --> 00:56:50.070
vicki mizel: My brother and I were in Times Square together, and the thing was on the billboard, and he he was elated.

494
00:56:50.440 --> 00:56:51.900
vicki mizel: So you know.

495
00:56:51.900 --> 00:56:54.120
Mark Entrekin: How beautiful! What a story!

496
00:56:54.120 --> 00:57:07.740
vicki mizel: It's it's so incredible. And what happened, too, is my leadership skills really got honed the way I communicated with the doctors and the nurses and the staff, the way I communicated with

497
00:57:07.850 --> 00:57:25.740
vicki mizel: friends and family and enlighten people to get prayer groups going. And I it made me see that this. Really, it's not memory as road and repetition. It's memory is creative visualization with connections that improve your brain.

498
00:57:26.180 --> 00:57:28.650
vicki mizel: And it's really about leadership.

499
00:57:29.250 --> 00:57:31.389
vicki mizel: If you have a company.

500
00:57:31.730 --> 00:57:47.420
vicki mizel: and you want everyone on board. Then make a picture of the end result you want to see happen in that company. And what are the action steps and see those action steps as pictures and help everybody align with their personal goals as well as company goals.

501
00:57:47.730 --> 00:57:53.969
vicki mizel: And you're gonna have. You're gonna have what true leaders are which are motivators.

502
00:57:54.490 --> 00:58:01.079
vicki mizel: and people are going to get along better because they have a vision together and

503
00:58:01.450 --> 00:58:05.419
vicki mizel: aligned. And and then people can comfortably

504
00:58:06.150 --> 00:58:09.399
vicki mizel: do what they they love and

505
00:58:11.090 --> 00:58:13.300
vicki mizel: what you want to accomplish. Thank you.

506
00:58:13.300 --> 00:58:28.390
Mark Entrekin: That has been so awesome. Thank you so much for those stories. It's we've only really very late. We'll have a minute or 2 left. I love your story, but if there is any one key takeaway, we've gone through a lot. You've told us so many things. There's 1 key takeaway

507
00:58:28.530 --> 00:58:35.360
Mark Entrekin: that every person listening today could remember about transforming their minds and empowering their lives.

508
00:58:35.710 --> 00:58:37.460
Mark Entrekin: What do you think that would be.

509
00:58:40.000 --> 00:58:41.670
vicki mizel: I would say.

510
00:58:43.520 --> 00:58:49.889
vicki mizel: take a moment and write, write down, or draw a picture of yourself at your very best.

511
00:58:50.620 --> 00:58:53.310

512
00:58:53.940 --> 00:58:57.800
vicki mizel: and then every day look at that and commit to it.

00:58:58.130 --> 00:59:04.479
vicki mizel: and tell yourself that anything you want to do you can achieve.

514
00:59:05.180 --> 00:59:14.539
vicki mizel: You can achieve. I use the memory system as my way to keep my brain straight and sharp. Other people may use crossword puzzles

515
00:59:14.960 --> 00:59:44.270
vicki mizel: that works learning new language works. But this thing I know, because now the science is out, it really does regenerate the brain, and it helps with even. It helps with healthy, normal people to just stay, stay up stronger and better. But if you have a stroke or a brain injury, dementia or Alzheimer's, it really can help, too. I have a modified version of it on Youtube.

516
00:59:44.380 --> 00:59:48.360
vicki mizel: And it says, tidbits for Alzheimer's, and it's a 43.

Mark Entrekin: You deserve it. Well, in closing we've gone a little bit over already, but our journey is a powerful reminder that unity begins with what we're talking about today. It begins from within, through self-awareness, through resilience, and that willingness to grow from wherever you are, from an automobile, accident.

Mark Entrekin: from failures, from whatever it may be. This message perfectly mirrors the achieving unity, success, formula.

539
01:02:49.810 --> 01:02:55.399
Mark Entrekin: It's a daily choice, just like our memory, to lead with empathy.
