LISTENING in living marriage
This document discusses the importance and benefits of listening in relationships, especially marriage. It states that listening is the first work of love, as it allows us to understand others and give them our attention. True listening is active rather than passive and helps people analyze their own feelings. When we listen to our partners during their pain and frustrations, it releases power in the relationship and prevents trouble from developing. For a marriage to mature, listening is essential. The document emphasizes that humans have a deep need to feel heard and understood by others.
Stuck in traffic

It concludes by examining a Bible verse about wanting to hear a loved one's voice and see their face.

Presentation on Territoriality for Environmental Psychology
This is a demonstration of my love for thinking, for creating experiences, for living out of the box, and how that often means getting down & dirty with an array of skills including coding to say the least. Long story short instead of conducting research like we were told and left to do I lost several weeks of sleep to make a web-based system for entering and visualizing data over time. The ad-hoc system I developed became the focus of the research and in the end even the professor started thinking like a developer, "It's a shame this isn't on a mobile device!" (I didn't have any at the time.)
---
To draw conclusions one needs to have solid data.
But you don't want to stop at conclusions, you want to be able to keep going.
Having a flexible, easy-to-use GUI for punching data in can open countless doors for inquiry. The base conclusions you were thinking to land at would barely even be the beginning if your data is not just solid, but can be brought to life varying in visualization in at least as much as you care to ask.
This was our final presentation for PS3324: Environmental Psychology, Polytechnic Institute of NYU in the fall of 2008. The initial project was to gauge stress of commuters, but that wasn't happening. We chose to study territoriality in the University cafeteria and lounge. As we started conducting our research it hit us not only did we not know what we were looking for, our data was too volatile for figuring anything out.
I took it upon myself to make a drag-and-drop, web-based interface for recording and retrieving data. Students could be colored and shaped to describe ethnicity and gender. While developing and using the GUI we realized the environment itself is also dynamic and could offer more to say about groupings and territoriality. So we added environmental attributes such as chairs and tables all scaled according to the given template.
Undertaking developing a GUI, a usable system for punching in and visualizing data, was in and of itself an immensely rewarding and revealing experience. It completely transforms the entire nature of whatever one is researching and can bring so much to life.

Social media and mental health
Staying connected through social media has become intensely addictive for many people, causing negative feelings when connections are lost. While social media allows people to stay connected, studies show it can also negatively impact mental health by increasing depressive symptoms, narcissism, and feelings of loneliness.

The Six Components of Health
The document discusses the six components of health: physical, social, environmental, emotional, spiritual, and intellectual/mental. It states that to be truly healthy, one must take care of all six components. Each component is then defined, with physical health referring to eating right and exercising, social health as the quality of relationships, and environmental health as keeping air, water, food, and land clean and safe. The document also introduces the wellness wheel and continuum, explaining that wellness involves striving for optimal health across all components, and that one's position on the continuum can be affected by lifestyle choices.
Rough draft final calming tech
This document describes a study where participants received text messages with different stress-reducing techniques to try over three days. The techniques were passed between 10 participants in a chain to promote awareness of stress relief options. Most techniques were passed along the chain, and those who broke the chain once were still fully engaged. The study found that reminding people to reflect on calming techniques was more important than actually doing the suggested technique. It also found that separating users by one degree helped encourage positive support without direct social comparison.
Calm creators.1
This document summarizes a pilot test of a stress-reducing technique sharing program called "Pass the Calm!" Over 3 days, 10 people shared 21 calming techniques via group text messages. The goal was to help people become more mindful of stress levels by suggesting simple relaxation activities and comparing to others' suggestions. Feedback indicated it helped people bring new calm ideas into their lives and see how their ideas compared to others in a fun, evolutionary process of stress reduction technique sharing.
Text2calm home2sanctuary
The Home2Sanctuary project involved sending daily text messages to 8 participants asking about their evening relaxation activities over the course of a week. Most participants reported increased mindfulness about relaxation techniques as a result. While stress levels generally stayed the same or decreased, participants unanimously felt they were more conscious of relaxation methods. The personal nature of the text messages seemed to create accountability and motivation to engage in deliberate relaxation. Overall, simply reporting daily activities led participants to adapt their behaviors to improve relaxation without prescriptive suggestions.
Crummy test findings
A pilot study tested having participants take two deep breaths and smile before entering their home to de-stress after work. Participants reported feeling happier and more appreciative of their home after adopting this small behavior change. They also started applying it when entering other rooms and spaces. The study suggests expanding it further, such as incorporating it into the entire commute home.
Commuter solutions_ElyseMarr
This document discusses ways to help employees reduce stress during their commutes. It first provides statistics on how commuting impacts employee health. It then outlines a two-part approach to implementing a "Calming Commuter's Club" that 1) disseminates methods and tracks impacts, and 2) provides calming technologies and practices for commutes via various modes of transportation. Existing commuter benefit programs and platforms that employers can use are also reviewed, as well as mindfulness techniques and existing calming solutions that could help destress commuters.

This document discusses ways for companies to help calm and de-stress employees during their commutes. It recommends implementing a "calming commuter's club" with two components: 1) disseminating wellness information and measuring financial/health impacts, and 2) providing calming technologies and practices for employees' commutes, regardless of transportation method (personal car, public transit, biking, walking). Some existing solutions mentioned include commuter benefits programs that offer financial incentives, as well as mindfulness techniques, relaxing playlists, and mobile apps to help commuters engage in calming activities during their travels. The goal is to help employees feel relaxed both when starting and ending their work days.
