Tough Choices: The Science Behind Making The Right Call Our lives are filled with one decision after another. Many are trivial but every now and then, a biggie comes along, one where you just know that you’re about to irreversibly shape your own future. The bad news is our decision-making is hampered by the fog of human irrationality. Phone a friend. We’re hopeless at predicting how future circumstances will affect us emotionally – this is what psychologists call “affective forecasting.” If you want to know how you’ll feel if you take a given path, research suggests you should acknowledge your own biases and find out how a friend or neighbor felt after they made the same decision that you are considering. Don’t assume you “know” how things are going to turn out. Be your own devil’s advocate. Psychologists call this process “dialectical bootstrapping” and studies have shown that it can improve a single person’s judgments by encouraging broad-minded thinking and a consideration of all the facts. Squash your biases. Stop thinking about it.

Vintage Weight Gain Ads | How to be a Retronaut Image 6 scanned by Jacque Nodell (Sequential Crush) Study a person character using his/her body Language in almost any situation Here are some great techniques to Read Body Language to Reveal the Underlying Truth in Almost Any Situation. You've likely heard that body language accounts for up to 55% of how we communicate, but reading non-verbal cues isn't just about broad strokes. The same gesture can indicate a number of different things depending on context. In this post, we're going to take a look at three common situations in which non-verbal cues are especially important—detecting lies, going on a date, and interviewing for a job—then explain how to interpret body language more accurately so that you can read between the lines when a person's words aren't necessarily conveying the way that they honestly feel. We lie a lot. When having a conversation with a stranger, chances are we'll lie in the first ten minutes. First, the basics. Body Language Basics When you're reading body language, your primary goal is to determine whether or not a person is comfortable in their current situation. Positive body language:

Six Habits of Highly Empathic People If you think you’re hearing the word “empathy” everywhere, you’re right. It’s now on the lips of scientists and business leaders, education experts and political activists. But there is a vital question that few people ask: How can I expand my own empathic potential? Empathy is not just a way to extend the boundaries of your moral universe. But what is empathy? The big buzz about empathy stems from a revolutionary shift in the science of how we understand human nature. Over the last decade, neuroscientists have identified a 10-section “empathy circuit” in our brains which, if damaged, can curtail our ability to understand what other people are feeling. But empathy doesn’t stop developing in childhood. Habit 1: Cultivate curiosity about strangers Highly empathic people (HEPs) have an insatiable curiosity about strangers. Curiosity expands our empathy when we talk to people outside our usual social circle, encountering lives and worldviews very different from our own.

How To Use Positive Thinking And Subconscious Mind Power To Improve Your Life Dramatically - Part 2 Be specific and add details to describe your goals You need to be quite specific about your expectations and the more details you can come with, the more focused you become. As we said earlier - when you focus on something, you get more of it. It also helps if you are excited about your goal, if you keep dreaming about it. When you do that, then "all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it", Paulo Coelho says. The beginnings are hard but the results are worthwhile It might be hard and slow at the beginning, as you may have a tendency to focus on negatives at first, but mastery comes with the practice. Very soon you realise that instead of moaning about things that happened to you, you will start looking for the ways to use the situation to help you in your mission. It doesn’t mean that bad things will not happen to you but if you think them through, it may turn out that actually they are not bad at all. Sometimes there is a shock before it gets better

How To Use Positive Thinking And Subconscious Mind Power To Improve Your Life Dramatically - Part 1 Your subconscious mind is not judging what is good or bad, it assumes you should know the best. It's like a factory worker doing whatever boss is telling him to do without questioning the sense of it. It's barely an organic computer that based on provided input information, produce certain results. You and your conscious mind are responsible for the strategy and making decision. The trouble is that you judge based on facts provided by your unconscious. It takes care of filtering the "useless" data so you can focus on "important" information. The definition of useless and important in this case is very subjective. If you are thinking now it cannot be true, check out the other cases when your brain works in similar way.
