Post 7- How good is your memory?

 

If there was a time limit on how much time we had to memorize the words, I would've done way worse. It took me about a minute to build up confidence for the task. It would be valid if there was a timer that would automatically send the user to the next page.


I was shocked at how many bits of the face I got correct, but I don't think it's valid because the choices to choose from in each section are too small so it was easier to guess.

I thought I would score lower on this memory test because there were some images that I wasn't sure if they were shown before. I don't think this one is valid either because it's easier to look at the context of images instead of recalling them from memory alone.

This came with a cost of immense pain, and he was able to move his legs and get out of the car. Soon afterwards, he was at the hospital to check if he was okay, and he encountered another patient talking smack about him. The hero personally did not let that slide, so he hit him with the one two and flung the disabled wheelchair patient across the room. The patient stood up, and the hero was surprised that he could walk the whole time. But that was what he thought, so he was informed that he was able to make the patient walking after hitting him. This is when the hero realized that he can make people walk at the expense of their pain. He starts using his abilities to help disabled people wal...

There's obstacles in the way of reaching goals, and we should learn how to tackle these obstacles for the goals to be reachable. Being consumed by these obstacles creates bad habits, which should be avoided by changing our environment and getting rid of these obstacles. Practicing mindfulness allows people to be aware of their situations and make changes based off of what needs to be fixed to be healthier mentally and physically. Willpower, or being able to resist short-term temptations which eliminates bad habits will clear the path to reaching goals. https://www.apa.org/topics/mindfulness https://www.apa.org/topics/personality/willpower#:~:text=According%20to%20most%20psychological%20scientists,unwanted%20thought%2C%20feeling%2C%20or%20impulse
