Luv Your Brain and Feed it Pictures
Peg System: 20-100 You know Zero to Ten (0-10), Zero is a Hero, and Ten is a Hen.
Now we add Twenty to One Hundred (20-100), Virginia to Century.
a) What is thirty-three? It is a Triangle with a Tree in the center.
b) What is seventy-eight? It is September and a Gate is opening.
c) What is ninety-seven? It is November in Heaven.

If Exxon-Mobile was selling at sixty-three (63) we would mentally visualize it as a Sexy (60), Tree (3), with a Double-X carved on it (XX).
The two xxes remind us of Exxon.
How about Microsoft selling at twenty-nine (29)? Mentally visualize Virginia (20) killing a swine (9), by hitting it over the head with a computer.
Computer reminds us of Microsoft.
After one-week of using your Peg Words to substitute for numbers - they get filed into long-term memory as a habit.
After that you operates on autopilot, and your subconscious mind instantly translates the numbers to mental pictures in your minds eye.
Your brain loves pictures - better than 1,000 words.
By the second week, seeing the symbol - 29, instantly mentally retrieves your mental-movie of Virginia, the swine and the computer.
It sticks like Crazy-Glue in your mind because it is a violent image of Virginia slamming a computer down on the head of the innocent porker.
There is a simple Acronym - W.
A.
T.
C.
H.
E.
S.
- to show how to make an image by coding it with an activity that is memorable.
W.
is Weird, and any picture that is ridiculous, out-of-proportion, and a substitute from normal expectations, is instantly retained by your brain.
The letter A is for Animated; and creating action and movement in your mental visualization works to give it stickiness.
T.
stands for Three-D, and adding dimension to your mental picture.
C.
stands for Color which grabs your attention and memory rather than black-and-white which is ordinary and common place.
H.
is for Humor - make the mental visualization funny, silly, or jerky, and it is easy to remember.
E.
Exaggeration - a ten-foot man is more memorable than a six-footer; so is a two-foot woman.
S.
stands for Senses.
Involve a smell or taste associated with your mental picture, and you own it forever.
Imagine how it feels, or a funny sound it makes or that it looks unusual by having three-eyes.
Our five major senses are memory enhancers, so use them.
Endwords When you use this Peg Word substitution system, you exercise your creativity and imagination.
Use-it-or-lose-it refers to our neurons (brain cells), and neural networks too.
Your brain is similar to muscles in your arms - do not use them and they atrophy.
Another benefit of using them is creating a Firewall of protection against dementia, including Alzheimers.
