Hey,<\/p>\n
Today, I’m going to share some tips and tricks for using the
\ntactics already covered, since I’ve received a lot of
\nquestions and feedback.<\/p>\n
In this email:<\/p>\n
1. Advice for using metaphors
\n2. What to do if you stumble with your 30 Day Trial<\/p>\n

Metaphor Tips and Tricks:<\/p>\n
Alex shares his experience of using metaphors:<\/p>\n
“I did feel a little silly at first, especially as I was
\ncomparing T helper and killer cell responses to viruses
\nwith infected spaceships being analyzed and blown up.
\nBut it did stick so thanks!”<\/p>\n
Tip #1: Don’t worry if the connection is silly!<\/p>\n
The point is to take your dry, boring subject, and make
\nit come alive with interesting analogies and metaphors.<\/p>\n
Tip #2: Don’t worry if you forget the metaphor.<\/p>\n
Think of the metaphor as a scaffolding for your knowledge
\nyou use it to help put things into place. But all you
\nshould care about is the actual concepts themselves. If
\nyou forget the metaphor that helped solidify it, don’t
\nworry.<\/p>\n
For example, if Alex forgot his spaceship analogy, that
\nisn’t important as long as he remembers the actual
\nfunctions of the blood cells.<\/p>\n
Tip #3: Write them down first.<\/p>\n
Another reader shared with me another useful tip: write
\nyour metaphors down. It helps you keep track (for your
\n30-Day Trial) but also it aids in the creative process.<\/p>\n

Recovering From a Stumble<\/p>\n
A couple of you emailed me recently to let me know that
\nyour original plan for practicing fell through.<\/p>\n
Two points:<\/p>\n
1. That’s okay.
\n2. Try easier challenges.<\/p>\n
As I mentioned in my original video, keeping a 30-Day Trial
\nis difficult. That’s why I try to make them as simple as
\npossible. Even 30 minutes per day is a lot of practice when
\napplied over an entire month or more.<\/p>\n
So instead of committing to 3-5 things and spending 60-90
\nminutes per day, try committing to 1 thing and 15-30 minutes.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
If you haven’t had a chance to yet, why not update all of us on your
\n30-Day Trial in the FORUMS. It’s okay if everything didn’t go 100%
\nas planned, if you write about it we can all offer advice for how
\nto achieve more next time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
