10 fresh ways to boost your energy now Must. Stay. Awake. Meditating or working out in three-minute breaks can replenish you and give a much needed energy boost. Fatigue and flagging energy seem to be epidemics, especially among women who burn the candle at both ends (and who doesn't?). 1. Get the right light, and you'll have lots more energy. To take advantage of that energizing blue boost, lift your shades the minute you get up or take a 30-minute walk first thing in the morning. 2. Unless you plan to run a marathon, carbo-loading for energy is out. Eat plant- and animal-based protein throughout the day -- an egg or high-protein cereal for breakfast, 10 almonds midmorning, a cup of low-sugar yogurt in the afternoon -- and your stamina should stabilize. 3. Research shows that you get a "helper's high," a rush of endorphins that lasts for hours, when you volunteer, says Kimberly Kingsley, author of "The Energy Cure: How to Recharge Your Life 30 Seconds at a Time." 4. 5. 6. 7. Could your energy be blocked? 8. 9. 10.
How to Make a Mind Map® The 'Laws of Mind Mapping' were originally devised by Tony Buzan when he codified the use of imagery, colour and association and coined the phrase 'Mind Mapping'. In the intervening 30 plus years, there have been many variations on the original 'Mind Map ' and the widespread usage of mapping software of various sorts, has dramatically changed what is possible. >> Click here to go to a video that provides a rapid (99 second) overview of how to Mind Map. (Note that you will be asked for your e-mail address so that you can view the video free of charge). The summary below is based on Buzan's structure (a 'Mind Mapping, how to' - details available in his many books) but we believe that whilst this structure is great for establishing well structured maps that can be used in many different ways, variations on these rules or 'laws' are often sensible and appropriate - as long as they are based on an understanding of why the laws exist and what they are trying to help the mind mapper to achieve.
Top 7 Sources of Stress and Their Remedies Will Joel Friedman, Ph.D. Updated: Sep 29th 2011 Hans Selye coined the term "stressor" to indicate any event, condition or state of affairs that demands a change, whether desired or not. Both hypoactivity or doing too little (i.e., couch potato syndrome) and hyperactivity or doing too much, too quickly with little or no limits or boundaries Selye considered sources or "distress," or what most people shorten to simply call "stress." Stress is only another term for resistance. Release all resistance and relieve yourself of just about all unhealthy stress. LYING: The single biggest source of stress is undoubtedly all the blatant and subtle forms of dishonesty, half-truths, sins of omission, fabrications, rationalizations, distorting defenses, manipulations and passive-aggressive behaviors we are continually subjected to and subject others to. REMEDY: Press, not push, for solid sureness, knowing with certainty and clear determinacy everywhere, with everyone, in all encounters.
Mind Map on Wikipedia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Diagram to visually organize information A mind map is a diagram used to visually organize information into a hierarchy, showing relationships among pieces of the whole.[1] It is often created around a single concept, drawn as an image in the center of a blank page, to which associated representations of ideas such as images, words and parts of words are added. Mind maps can also be drawn by hand, either as "notes" during a lecture, meeting or planning session, for example, or as higher quality pictures when more time is available. Origins[edit] Buzan's specific approach, and the introduction of the term "mind map", started with a 1974 BBC TV series he hosted, called Use Your Head.[6] In this show, and companion book series, Buzan promoted his conception of radial tree, diagramming key words in a colorful, radiant, tree-like structure.[7] Differences from other visualizations[edit] Research[edit] Effectiveness[edit] Features[edit] Automatic creation[edit]
Classification of Emotions Psychologists have yet to fully tackle the question “How many emotions do we have?” Part of the difficulty is because our experiences are so complex and involve so many different factors, so distinguishing one emotion from another is a lot like drawing lines of sand in the desert. It can be hard to determine where one emotions ends or another begins. Even when we analyze a commonsense emotion like “happiness” or “anger,” we know from everyday experience that these emotions come in many different degrees, qualities, and intensities. In addition, our experiences are often comprised of multiple emotions at once, which adds another dimension of complexity to our emotional experience. Despite how difficult these distinctions may be, plenty of psychologists have attempted to classify our emotions into different categories. Ekman’s List of Basic Emotions (1972) Ekman devised his list of basic emotions after doing research on many different cultures. Anger Disgust Fear Happiness Sadness Surprise
Mindmapping, concept mapping and information organisation software Top 10 Deadliest Rampage Killers Crime We’ve seen plenty of movies, books and documentaries on serial killers, but not so many on those who are so efficient and deadly that they can murder dozens of people in a single day.

George Hennard 23 dead, 20 injured On October 16th, 1991, George Hennard, of Bell County Texas, drove his pick-up truck through the window of a Luby’s Cafeteria. Throughout the massacre, the patrons of the cafeteria could do no more than hide underneath tables. Baruch Goldstein 29 dead, 125 injured Baruch Goldstein was an American-born Israeli settler who perpetrated the notorious Cave of the Patriarchs massacre, in 1994. In an incredibly short amount of time, Goldstein managed to shoot 29 people to death and wound over a hundred more.

How to increase serotonin in the human brain without drugs Transcending the Matrix Control System Digital Health Conference and Hack 2012 - CometBird Emotional Intensity Do you consider yourself an emotional person? If a potential friend candidly described you that way to your face, would you be flattered or disturbed? Compared to most people you know, are you stronger in the intensity and range of your feelings, milder, or somewhere in between? Whereas for centuries astute observers of the human condition have noted that people vary remarkably in this dimension — it's been the theme of many great novels — only recently have psychologists come to understand that this difference is already apparent on our first day of postnatal existence — and continues strikingly unchanged ever after. The vast realm of our feelings is clearly experienced differently by people across cultures. In terms of gender, in the Western world, historically women have been depicted as being more dominated by their feelings than men, for example; they're commonly thought of as making major decisions based on moods rather than hard facts. ____ 1. ____ 2. ____ 3. ____ 4. ____ 5.
