Welcome to RELAX'N'LEARN
The main purpose of this site is to help students anywhere to learn anything, anytime they wish to
assimilate new information.
From the moment of our conception we have been learning. Most of our learning has been done
without conscious effort on our part. Most of us learned to walk and speak at least one language by the
time we were seven years old.
Why then, you may ask, do I sometimes feel that the learning task I have been set by others is such a
chore of drudgery ? Simply because you have told yourself this is the case. If you wish to learn new
football skills and you are a keen player you will take on this task and thoroughly enjoy the process of
learning by playing.
Your attitude to what you learn can make or break your efforts. The student who must cover seven
or eight subjects will have some topics which they love and perhaps some which they loathe. To
overcome the hardship caused by a negative attitude to any learning experience we must alter our thinking
about this subject. This can be done quite simply by considering the "BIG PICTURE". Look beyond the
present hardship and see yourself in the near future with the new sports car or yacht. Visualise yourself as
the succesful film star or super athlete made possible by you overcoming your mental gremlins. Hold this
scene in your mind's eye for about thirty seconds each day, then move on. Guard against perpetual
daydreaming by consciously wiping the image from your mind and getting on with realising your ambitions.

Many young trainee
footballers do not enjoy the
sessions which need to be
spent at the theory of football.
Yet they realise the coach has
ideas which can only be
imparted by speaking and
using diagrams.
These young live-wires will sit
listening to their mentors with
their fullest attention. They
realise that in order to excel at
their chosen profession they
must follow the adage
WHEN AN EXPERT SPEAKS -
LISTEN !
Good Study Habits
For those who study on a regular basis (full or part-time students) some simple advice will help greatly
(1) Choose a location without distraction eg your local library or a quiet room.
(2) Schedule a daily time. Break your learning into short periods. Half an hour is ideal for each subject or
session, followed by a seven to ten minute break for a walk in the fresh air. Early morning sessions
usually eliminate distractions from people who may unwittingly cause problems by interruptions during
the evening or at night, also your brain will be clearer and fresher after a good nights sleep.
(3) Make your own written notes, very curt with about ten words for each point. Read over these before
sleeping or read into a tape recorder. Playing this recording by your bedside as you relax before
sleeping will help your subconscious mind capture the information to your memory with minimum effort.
(4) Use affirmations often. Tell yourself you have a good memory and can learn easily. If your memory
seems bad this is due to bad "programming" in your past. Perhaps someone unwittingly told you your
memory was bad or you are not good at maths. This type of comment can undermine self confidence
with disastrous results. However it is easily reversed by using your own thoughts to ridicule the remarks
made by this "sensless moron" or whatever you like to think of this person as.
(5) You will have met people who astound you with their brilliant memories. Now with the help of a C.D.
you too can attain a Super Memory simply by relaxing and listening.
Memory like other functions of the human body needs
excercise and constant use to remain sharp.
With this in mind the author of this website Tony
Dawson has written " A to Z of Comical Poems and
Jokes" The contents of this book are easily
remembered due to their entertaining and imaginative
comical content.
You will wish to memorise these poems so you can
impress your friends and associates. This will train
your memory with comical, rhytmic verses.
