5 Simple Ways to Increase Your Intelligence Your brain needs exercise just like a muscle. If you use it often and in the right ways, you will become a more skilled thinker and increase your ability to focus. But if you never use your brain, or abuse it with harmful chemicals, your ability to think and learn will deteriorate. Here are 5 simple ways anyone can squeeze a bit more productivity out of the old gray matter. 1. Minimize Television Watching – This is a hard sell. Don’t you feel drained after a couple hours of TV? When you feel like relaxing, try reading a book instead. 2. 3. Once you get used to reading challenging books, I think you’ll find that you aren’t tempted to go back to page-turners. 4. If you have the opportunity, take 10-20 minute naps when you are hit with a wave of drowsiness. 5. I’m not saying you need to sit on the floor cross-legged and chant ‘ommm’. Conclusion – I hope you aren’t disappointed that none of the techniques I’ve proposed are revolutionary.

He said, “I don’t think the point of life is to accomplish a certain level of external success. I believe we’re actually here to acquire and enjoy experiences.” That conversation took place about 15 years ago, and this idea has remained with me ever since. We’ve been socially conditioned to value accomplishments and events more than everyday experiences. Accomplishments and events are certainly experiences too, but most experiences don’t qualify as either. If you’re going to spend most of your time experiencing rather than accomplishing, then perhaps it makes sense to focus on the quality of your daily experiences and not merely on the heights of your accomplishments. When you realize most of your life will be consumed by normal days rather than extraordinary ones, you may feel motivated to raise the overall quality of these normal days. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

The Courage to Live Consciously by Steve Pavlina Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. In our day-to-day lives, the virtue of courage doesn't receive much attention. But a side effect of overemphasizing the importance of personal security in your life is that it can cause you to live reactively. No doubt there exist real dangers in life you must avoid. How many of these fears are holding you back? Have you previously convinced yourself that you aren't really afraid of anything... that there are always good and logical reasons why you don't do certain things? What Is Courage? Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear. - Ambrose Redmoon Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear. - Mark Twain Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway. - John Wayne Raise Your Consciousness Site Build It!
I Think I Can: To Raise Your IQ, Mind Set Matters, Say Psychologists <br/><a href=" US News</a> | <a href=" Business News</a> Copy If you think you can, you probably can. If you think you can't, you probably can't. New research shows that it's how you think about your level of intelligence and your ability to grow that determines how quickly you can correct even a minor error and move on. The work suggests that it's not whether you can pump your IQ up a notch or two, but whether you think you can that really matters. Psychologists at Michigan State University in East Lansing conducted a series of experiments to see if "mind set" makes a difference in how humans process and react to mistakes. "It all happens in the first quarter of the first second after the mistake is made," psychologist Jason Moser, lead author of a study that will be published soon in Psychological Science, said in a telephone interview. Research by others has shown that "mind set" matters when addressing big mistakes.
Setting ESL Class Objectives - ESL Teaching Objectives Meeting Students Learning Needs Setting ESL Objectives People learn English for many and extremely varied reasons. Taking these reasons, as well as language acquisition needs, into consideration when planning a class or individual instruction is crucial for a successful learning experience. This is probably as important for the student as for the teacher. When a student understands his/her reasons for learning English well, he can then better plan his learning strategy. In the classroom, he/she can help the teacher identify needs and desires. Let's take a look at two of the more common reasons for learning English and what might work well for achieving learning goals. Goal One: I'd like to improve my English in order to find a better job. In this case, it is important to ask yourself the questions: Will a certificate help the chances of getting a job? Details and Considerations for Each Question: Point 2: If job specific English is required, tasks should be more real-world orientated. Conclusions
Shower Twice A Day by Josh So a couple of weeks ago I posed the question asking when (or if) you showered. The response was absolutely stellar with over 130 responses. So huge thanks for that. Here are the results: 54% of you shower in the morning 24% of you shower in both the morning and evening 22% of you shower only in the evening Now for my answer. I shower twice a day. I didn’t start showering in the evening until I wrote the first post about this, but I’ve been doing it since then and can’t believe I hadn’t started sooner. It perviously took me 30 minutes to an hour to go to sleep every single night for as long as I can remember. Like others who shower at night, I find it helps totally relax me. So my suggestion?
