I think that your definition makes a lot of sense logically. Personally, I don’t care for the phrase “Muscle Memory” that much, but it’s what people call it, so I choose to spread awareness, instead of try to change the name. And thank you for your compliments!

Sean of http://www.thinkandswitch.com recommends that we spend time looking into the mirror every day as part of a self improvement regiment. I can agree with that logic, and it would help to solve many of the problems that you speak of. And I agree that muscle memory is fascinating. It’s a very powerful part of our brain that we neglect to use. It is powerful enough that you don’t have to use it, and it can take over your entire life. When people are on “cruise control” like this, they often forget how to enjoy life. There’s not many brain functions that are this powerful! Thanks for your contribution!

Great way to demonstrate that we need to keep going.

Not only that, but muscle memory is a fascinating topic. I studied kinesiology and it taught me just how much we ignore our physical bodies, what the tell us, how much we can learn from them, and how we can change ourselves by using them.

Very well said. Thank you for your contribution.

I linked to Steve Pavlina’s excellent article above about becoming an early riser. I highly recommend it.

Thank you for the compliment. And yes, you get the idea completely. The idea is to commit the basic work to muscle memory, and then you can use your concious thoughts to add a little something extra to it. Thanks for your input!

My manager/leader told me all the time to memorize my script so it becomes second nature. I don’t have to even try to remember it because it will just come to me.

Once I have that, he said you can add your own creativity and personality to it, to make it better.
