Auditory Digital: These audience members spend a fair amount of time in their heads talking to themselves. They memorize and learn by steps, procedures, and sequences. They want to know that your presentation makes sense. Words that are effective with these people include “sense, experience, understand, think, motivate, and decide.”

Kinesthetic: These audience embers often speak very slowly. They are much more oriented towards their feelings than people in other three categories. They learn by actively doing something and getting actual feeling of it. They are interested in a presentation that “feels right” or gives them a “gut feeling.” Words that are effective with these audience members include “feel, touch, grasp, concrete, get hold of, and solid.”

Approximately 40% of population are primarily visual, approximately 40% are primarily kinesthetic, and remaining 20% are primarily auditory and auditory digital in how they process information.

As a matter of fact, I've been working seven days a week now for weeks, preparing for my TV and radio tour and I'm feeling very overwhelmed with loads of stuff that need to get done.

So guess what I'm going to do right now? I'm going to go to gym and NOT think about all that I have to do and I'm going to give myself a mental break even though I have piles of "stuff" that have to get done.

I'm going to get out of "I'm supposed to do this now" thinking and give myself a mental break.

What is your release mechanism and plan for rejuvenating your body and soul? We all need to take care of ourselves. And creating a regular system is best way to refresh ourselves.

Part of my system is, I've also gotten into habit of having a two-hour massage once a week, and it allows me to have someone "do" for me instead of me always being one who "does".

Choose an activity or ritual and create a plan that allows you to really get physical and mental rest you need. You'll find that you'll reduce stress and be much more productive than ever before! And while you're at it, remember to create a great day!
