So here we are counting upon our list of Top 10 Mind Blowing Brain Hacks You Can Learn to train your mind in a more efficient way. Now you may buckle up as we're diving straight to the list.

#10. Getting Better At Something

Turns out, your brain cannot really tell the difference between completely imagining something, and actually experiencing it.

That means, that if you don't have time to practice throwing baskets into the hoop one day, but you usually practice, you can imagine throwing basket after basket, and your brain will actually improve your skills when you get back to the court.

It means, that if you can picture yourself doing something that you are afraid of, you will become less afraid, as if you actually did it for real.

#9. Pain Is In Mind

"Pain is all in the mind." How many times have you heard that and thought "yeah, right!" If you slice your finger cutting vegetables, or whack your little toe on the corner of the nightstand, it's not so easy to convince yourself it doesn't hurt.

However, researchers at Oxford University found a non-medicinal way to make the pain shrink — they used inverted binoculars. 

When subjects looked at their wound through the wrong end, it made the wound seem a lot smaller, and in turn they felt less pain. It sounds nuts, but it's true. 

The upshot of this is when you get pain, you have to imagine that pain being much smaller; or simply look away. Focusing on your wound will bring you increased pain.

#8. Improve Your Memory

If you're a fan of the BBC show Sherlock, you will be all too familiar with the mind palace. However, you don't need to be an ego maniacal genius to make your own.

First, you create a layout of a building or town in your brain. It should be composed of memorable places and signs. For instance, you create a shopping mall, and the first store on your right is a jewelers, followed by a burger stand and then a gym. 

Now, you place items you want to remember inside the different stores. Once inside each store, there will be a similar approach to the layout, with different sections, and shelves.

#7. Eyebrows Make You Creative

If you ever want to feel more creative, try raising your eyebrows and widening your eyes. This simple technique appears to act as a boost for your creative mind, literally broadening the scope of your ideas as your widen your eyes and take more in. 

This is all backed by scientific research that was published in the Creativity Research Journal.

#6. Door In The Face

This  technique is as effective as it sounds absurd. In this method,  you  approach your target with a favor that is likely to be rejected (ask   for a unicorn). When they reject this favor, come back later with   another request you actually wanted in the first place (a 100 bucks).

This favor can doubtlessly be fulfilled. In short, go big, get rejected. Go small, get selected.

#5. Music Changes Time

Hold music -- the stuff you hear on the line when you call everyone from the bank to your local bail bond agency -- didn't fall into America's phone lines by accident. 

It's designed specifically to reduce the amount of time you think you're waiting, so that you're less likely to hang up in anger. Other places that involve waiting, such as doctors' offices, use a similar trick. 

Time shrinkage is also the aim of most retail stores, which is why you'll rarely enter a mall, supermarket or clothing store without hearing some sort of music in the background.

#4. Interview Hack

Tell yourself “I’ve known these people all my life. We’re old friends catching up. I can’t wait to see them”. Visualize the experience, shaking hands, making eye contact, having conversation. 

What things can you not to wait to tell them? Hold an open pose…stand with your legs apart, hands on your hips, and shoulders back while doing this and SMILE. 

This may sound cliche but you are in charge of your own psychological state and the power of suggestion is strong.

#3. False Belief

When you take somebody out on a first date, take them somewhere exciting that will get their heart beating. e.g. roller coaster or horror film. This gets their adrenaline up. It makes them think they enjoy spending time with you rather than the activity.

#2. Irritate Others By Being Calm

One thing that is my personal favorite: When people are angry at me; if I stay calm it’ll get them even angrier, and be ashamed about it after.

If you're in a situation when a person is scolding or shouting at you and you want them to be more irritated act calm, talk smoothly. 

Works Wonders *Evil Grin*

#1. Zeigarnik Effect

In 1927, psychologist Bluma Zeigarnik was having dinner at a restaurant.

She started closely observing the waiters taking orders, and noticed an obvious, but important pattern in their work.

The waiters were able to remember the orders to the last, small detail while they were still serving the table, but as soon as the customers had paid and left, they forgot it completely.

 

Your brain holds on to information and tasks that you have not yet finished. As soon as you are finished, you forget them, since nobody can possibly own the resources to hold on to every single piece of grocery list or finished work task.

The Zeigarnik effect is mostly known as an effective remover of earworms, but it can also be used in a more meaningful way.

If you work on a lengthy project or task, take a break at a point where you would really like to go on, and do something completely different.

Subconsciousness keeps on working and thinking about the task and finding ways to solve it.

Things will fall into place much easier than if you had just kept going without stopping.
