Step 16: Opt for Actual Demonstrations and Live Instructions
Humans have what experts call mirror neurons of the brain. When a person sees
an action, the patterns are sent to the mirror neurons for remapping, which is the
start of the recording process. From there, the signals are passed on to your
muscles. This is why your body knows how to do something simply by seeing
another person do it.
Haven't you noticed why kids can copy (or try, at least) dance moves or mimic
adults even when they are not given detailed instructions to do so? Their bodies
automatically adjust and their muscles instantly pick up the signals.
To learn faster, it would be more appropriate to use actual demonstrations and
live instructions, so that the images you see are instantly transmitted to your
corresponding body parts. It somehow produces a different result when you read
a guideline but still try to visualize what it being said on the text.
