The law of attraction and the power of affirmationsRishan B
Affirmations are powerful. We sometimes make simple statements in either a positive or a negative tone, like for example, when there is something that we need to get done, we sometimes say “It’s too difficult.” That statement in itself is a negative affirmation.

Soft skills are skills that can’t easily be quantified but are still hugely important to personal success, while a hard skill is more technical and quantifiable. If you get a flat tire, for example, a soft skill you might use would be problem-solving, but the hard skill would be changing the tire.
Here are a few examples of soft skills to develop. These can help you in your friendships, romantic relationships, family life, workplace, and more. Improving these will also help improve your overall quality of life.

The Inner Game of Success - Positivity Place second presentation)Lana Kravtsova
This document discusses establishing and expanding one's comfort zone. It explains that most people operate within unconscious limits defined by their subconscious mind. These limits include an upper limit driven by self-worth and a lower limit associated with threats to survival. The neutral state resides in the middle range where one feels okay. The document provides steps to identify one's personal comfort scales, dialogue with fears, associate comfort with goals, and adopt empowering beliefs to raise one's limits. Practices include visualization, gratitude, optimism, and celebrating small victories to help achieve goals and flourish beyond one's comfort zone.
When it comes to losing weight, many people have tried more than once to shed those extra pounds only to be unsuccessful.
In fact, many of them have spent most of their lives being unhappy about their bodies, wishing they had a flat stomach or a stronger core, but not knowing how to get started.
With this report you will learn fast and easy stomach flattening tips and strategies based on proven results.
In life, how to transform your limiting beliefs is a necessity because they are just assumptions you make about reality. They are not true but only interpretations of past events and experiences. These sour ideas do not help or serve you. Instead, they hinder you, blocking you from reaching your goals.
Getting and staying motivated can be challenging.

It also recommends focusing on success by reducing distractions and surrounding yourself with positive environments and influences. The overarching message is that motivation comes from taking action and persevering through challenges, rather than waiting for perfect conditions or motivation to strike.
Habits can take an average of 66 days to form and become automatic. Key elements of habits include cues, actions, and rewards. Keystone habits like exercise and meditation can help transform other areas of life by building self-discipline. To build lasting habits, find your "why" by visualizing success through small process goals rather than large end results. Dopamine can be both an enemy and friend in habit formation - be aware of cues that trigger cravings but also use rewards to motivate completing small tasks. Various traps like temporal discounting, decision fatigue, and loss aversion can challenge self-discipline and should be planned for.

What I Learned From "The Happiness Advantage: 7 Principles of Positive Psycho...Kylee Lessard
In "The Happiness Advantage," renowned positive psychology TED talk speaker Sean Achor explains the definition of positive psychology, why positive psychology is necessary and the seven key positive psychology concepts you can easily start implementing today for radical improvements in your happiness.
This document provides information on emotional intelligence, meditation, goals, and emotions. It discusses techniques for meditation including sitting comfortably, focusing on breathing, and gently returning focus to the breath when the mind wanders. It also outlines the SMART goals framework of making goals specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-bound. Additionally, it notes that thoughts influence emotions and irrational thoughts can be replaced with rational ones according to REBT therapy.
The document discusses the importance of setting intentions when manifesting. It states that having preconceptions or negative attitudes can prevent effective manifestation. Some people do not manifest successfully because they fear change or do not want to accept reality. To empty preconceptions, one should focus on the potential positives of manifestation and stay determined toward their goals. Setting clear intentions is important so that you know why you are manifesting and can stay on course to achieving your desires.
This document discusses motivational coaching and how it can help people achieve their goals and overcome challenges. Motivational coaching involves helping clients identify their core issues, understand their true motivations, develop new perspectives, and envision a life filled with motivation. Coaches work with individuals and organizations to boost confidence and overcome anxiety or pressure during difficult times like financial uncertainty. Setting clear goals and accountability, taking consistent action even when unmotivated, and using motivational videos can help people stay inspired to achieve objectives that may take longer than expected and overcome feelings of being stuck.
This document discusses how visualization can be an effective tool for improving physical fitness and performance. It describes how visualizing goals activates the same areas of the brain as actually performing actions. The document provides steps for using visualization, including quieting the mind, reviewing past experiences, writing out scripts of desired outcomes, feeling the emotions connected to goals, and frequently connecting to "fit visions". Research studies cited found that mental training through visualization can increase strength almost as much as physical training alone. The document advocates for using visualization along with physical action to work towards fitness goals.

Sport psychology is the scientific study of people and their behaviors in sport contexts. It aims to understand how psychological factors affect physical performance and how sport affects psychological development. Sport psychologists help athletes participate in and benefit from sports.

The document discusses the benefits of meditation, which research shows can rewire the brain to reduce anxiety, raise happiness, lower stress, and improve immune function and focus. It explains that meditation strengthens the observant mind's ability to observe thoughts without judgment. The document provides instructions for beginners to meditate, suggesting setting aside 5 minutes 3 times a week, finding a quiet spot, focusing on breathing, and allowing thoughts to pass without distraction. With regular practice, meditation improves one's ability to control thoughts and clear the mind during stress.
The document provides tips for reducing depression through cognitive behavioral techniques and physical activity. It explains that depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain that can be addressed by stimulating the thinking part of the brain and reducing activity in the emotional part. Some key recommendations include using "brainswitching" by replacing depressive thoughts with neutral thoughts like nonsense words, focusing on small tasks and physical activities to distract from pain, and understanding that feelings are separate from one's identity and can change with different thinking patterns. Behavioral actions are emphasized as more powerful than feelings in overcoming depression.
The document provides 63 ideas for getting rid of depression by taking charge of one's brain. Simple cognitive techniques and low-key physical activity can lessen pain and stimulate more productive thinking. The key is to reduce neural activity in the subcortex that causes pain and panic, and re-power the neocortex through cognitive exercises like thinking neutral thoughts to interrupt depressive thought patterns. Behavior can overcome feelings, so staying active and focusing outwardly on tasks can help overcome depression.
The document discusses various ways to manage stress and anxiety. It defines stress as the body's non-specific response to demands and notes that anxiety is a feeling of apprehension or fear from an unknown source. It then provides tips to reduce stress such as organizing one's life, practicing relaxation techniques, taking breaks, communicating, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Several relaxation techniques are also described, including meditation, imagery, progressive muscle relaxation, and diaphragmatic breathing.
The document provides guidance on managing your mindset to achieve fitness goals. It discusses examining beliefs and values, setting specific and measurable goals using techniques like GROW and well-formed outcomes, modeling successful people, replacing negative thoughts with positive ones, focusing initially on a few key areas using the 80/20 rule, and taking incremental steps forward. The overall message is that managing your mindset is critical for long-term success in achieving your best body.

This document introduces a method from Fractal Psychology to control emotions and recover from feeling depressed. The method involves separating one's "Adult Self" from one's "Child Self" and having the Adult Self comfort and encourage the Child Self using modification statements. Practicing this allows one to regain energy and motivation from within, without relying on others for support. Key aspects include imagining one's childhood self, experiencing its emotions, and replacing negative thoughts with positive encouragement from the perspective of the Adult Self.
This document provides an introduction to mind management techniques for achieving fitness goals. It discusses setting goals using the GROW model and well-formed outcomes. The importance of modeling expert behaviors and beliefs is explained. Maintaining motivation requires preparing positive replacement thoughts and strengthening them with repetition. Small, consistent changes over time using the 80/20 rule are recommended rather than trying to change everything at once. Mindset is described as most of the battle, and help from the authors is offered to improve the body, mind, and life.

With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.
Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?Speck&Tech
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Section IV: Mental Factors
1. Closing the GapSection 4: Mental Factors Chapter 17: The Power of Visualization Chapter 18: The Power of Positive Attitude Chapter 19: The Power of Relaxation Chapter 20: The Power of Self Hypnosis Chapter 21: The Power of Optimal Arousal
2. Closing the GapChapter 17: The Power of Visualization Have you ever watched a movie that was a “real tear jerker?” You know the movie is not real, but, you FEEL it. Your brain produced a very real emotion. Why? Neural Programming: Your mind cannot tell the difference between a real experience or an imagined one. Visualization can aid in muscle memory acquisition as the movement is “practiced.”
3. Closing the GapChapter 17: The Power of Visualization Visualization Called imagery or mental rehearsal It is the act of using your imagination to experience an event in your mind. It can either be a past, future, or an imagined event.
5. Closing the GapChapter 17: The Power of Visualization Benefits of Visualization Focus: Improves ones focus and will move you quicker toward the “Zone” Learn Complex Movements: It allows you to break down complicated skill which may be more difficult to do physically. Slow Motion: It allows you to experience your skill in slow motion or different speeds.
6. Closing the GapChapter 17: The Power of Visualization Benefits of Visualization More Practice Time: It improves performance because it is another form of practice. Improves Confidence: It improves confidence because practice makes things more familiar and increases your feeling of preparation. “Been there, done that”

9. After a successful performance (practice or event)Still fresh in memory and can provide reinforcement
10. Closing the GapChapter 17: The Power of Visualization Principles of Effective Imagery Vividness: Realistic and use other senses…feel, color, smell, hear, physical sensations Controllability: Control the visualize to include the correct execution of the skill Stop visualize short of mistake. Start again with correct skill execution Attitude: Works best when in positive state. Trust
11. Closing the GapChapter 17: The Power of Visualization Principles of Effective Imagery Previous experience: Helps because you have data to tap into. Relaxed Attention: Most effective with no mind clutter. Internal Frame of Reference Your point of view gives greatest benefit vs. watching yourself
12. Closing the GapChapter 17: The Power of Visualization Principles of Effective Imagery Controlling Time: Make your visualize sessions predominately in “real time” Get out the stop watch Physical Movement: Integrate some body movement, if possible Practice: It will get easier and less awkward Start Small: A couple minutes a day 2-3 times per week Add detail and time as you become comfortable
15. Use many of your senses (blue sky: sight, gripping the bat: touch, freshly mowed grass: smell, crowd roaring: hearing, biting a lemon: taste)Your Journal Activity this week is to implement a mental rehearsal plan that includes visualization & positive statements.
16. Closing the GapChapter 18: The Power of Positive Attitude “You have to expect good things of yourself before you can do them” Your attitude has a real impact on you perform. Keep it positive and you will consistently perform better. We generally move toward what we are thinking…. * Thinking about choking? Can you guess what happens? * Your belief will influence your behavior
17. Closing the GapChapter 18: The Power of Positive Attitude What you say to yourself makes a difference! Placebo Effect: Your mind having expectations of something to be real. Taking a “sugar pill” for a head ache. Doctors use the placebo effect to help their patients. Self Fulfilling Prophecy: is a prediction that directly or indirectly causes itself to become true, by the very terms of the prophecy itself, due to positive feedback between belief and behavior.
18. Closing the GapChapter 18: The Power of Positive Attitude Self Fulfilling Cycle: You can make it work for you…or…not No beginning point…it can start any where in the cycle.
19. Closing the GapChapter 18: The Power of Positive Attitude The Power of Words Words influence thoughts...thoughts influence emotions...emotions influence behaviors...behaviors influence attitude....attitude is everything. Hyperlink to Video
20. Closing the GapChapter 18: The Power of Positive Attitude How to Attack the Cycle of Negative Attitude Attack at Attitude Level KNOW that your beliefs are the real enemy Awareness of your attitude and expectations is important Attack at the Action Level Make conscious effort to ignore or replace negative self talk. Say “STOP” Improve focus Attack at the Experience Level Change your perception Find the good, positive Don’t dwell on negative
21. Closing the GapChapter 18: The Power of Positive Attitude Reframe Your Thinking: take another perspective “I hate bad weather. It will mess me up” “The weather is the same for everyone. It will upset my opponent, but, I am prepared to play in all conditions.” “The crowd is rowdy and in our face and it is an unfair advantage.” “All we have to do is focus on our plan and we can use the heckling as a reminder to stay calm and do our job.” “I always choke” “I have choked before, but, this is a new opportunity” “I won the game because I was lucky” “I won the game because I earned it. The harder I work, the luckier I get”
22. Closing the GapChapter 18: The Power of Positive Attitude Reframe Your Thinking: take another perspective “The teacher hates me because he is always scolding me about things in class.” “The teacher cares a lot about me and wants me to do well.” “The referee is cheating us and is really bad. He will make us lose this game.” “I may not agree with his decision, but, he is doing the best that he can. We are good enough to overcome all obstacles.” “They have a team of all stars. There is no way we can win this game.” “The best team doesn’t win the game. It is the team that plays the best that will win. Today is our day.”
23. Closing the GapChapter 18: The Power of Positive Attitude Ten Perception Stretchers A loss becomes a gain. If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten. The imagination is more powerful than the will. Be creative and innovate. Bodies work perfectly, it is the mind that may get in the way. Watch out for paralysis of analysis Limitations are temporary. Anyone can improve. Events have no meaning except what you give them. Getting better is more important than winning. Focusing on just the result robs you of attaining your potential You will play the way you practice. The more you expect, the more you will achieve
24. Closing the GapChapter 19: The Power of Relaxation “A calm mind gives the clearest focus just as a tranquil lake casts the clearest reflection.” ~ Ancient Chinese Proverb Hyperlink to Video
25. Closing the GapChapter 19: The Power of Relaxation Why does Relaxation Matter? It Helps Performance. Biathletes: Combines endurance cross country skiing with rifle shooting. They can lower their heart rate and calm themselves in order to sight the target. Knowing how to calm yourself at a moments notice will help you in the heat of battle and allow you to have better focus. *** Research shows poor performance results MORE from being too tense, not too relaxed.
26. Closing the GapChapter 19: The Power of Relaxation Fight or flight response: pumps adrenaline into body causing HR and breathing to go up; can increase your tension. Relaxation Response: Opposite; causes your HR and breathing to go down, thus, allowing muscles to relax. Knowing Relaxation techniques can help you to: Fall asleep quickly at night Conserve energy before competition Rejuvenate your mind and body during time off (half time/breaks) Rest while traveling in bus, van, etc. Hasten recovery from workouts/competitions Hasten recovery from injury Allow you enjoy yourself Stay relaxed during competition
27. Closing the GapChapter 19: The Power of Relaxation There are different Relaxation Techniques Find one that works for you…and use it! They will have elements of… Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) Progress through body to recognize the difference between tension & relaxation. Breath Control Slow, diaphragmatic breathing will trigger a relaxation response. Imagery Creating a “resource room” or “safe place” in your imagination will give you a retreat to relax. Autogenic Practice experiencing the power of the mind in relation to the body: heaviness of limbs, warmth of limbs, slow heart rate, slower & deeper breathing, etc. Awkward at first, but, practice will make it easier and more successful.
28. Closing the GapChapter 20: The Power of Self Hypnosis Hypnosis: focused attention while in a deep, relaxed state. Some have referred to it as a guided meditation. Misunderstood due to the stage shows. There is nothing mystical or supernatural about hypnosis. American Psychological Association (APA) recognizes hypnosis as an effective tool to help people.

31. Closing the GapChapter 20: The Power of Self Hypnosis Four Steps of Hypnosis: Fixation: requires attention and focus Small object Relaxation & Receptivity: deeper relaxation Implement Suggestions Positive self statements “I am strong and efficient.” “Waking Up”: coming out of deep relaxation (or “trance-like” state)
33. Closing the GapChapter 21: The Power of Optimal Arousal What is “Arousal” in terms of performance? It is how much you are “keyed up”, “pumped up”, excited for your activity.
34. Closing the GapChapter 21: The Power of Optimal Arousal Different Performances require different arousal levels to perform optimally. Can you name several and explain?
35. Closing the GapChapter 21: The Power of Optimal Arousal Explain this graph and how the concept relates to your performance.
36. Closing the GapChapter 21: The Power of Optimal Arousal What factors determine the optimal level of arousal? Fine Motor Movements Lower arousal, very precise skills Gross Motor Movements Higher arousal, whole body/large muscle skills Skill level of performer Higher level players have automatic skills, without thought
37. Closing the GapChapter 21: The Power of Optimal Arousal Strategies to ensure increasing Arousal level Breathing Increaser breathing rhythm and use imagery Stretch and Exercise Pre-competition workout 5-10 hours before workout To decrease anxiety and increase arousal Music or videos Watch or listening to inspirational music/videos
38. Closing the GapChapter 21: The Power of Optimal Arousal Strategies to ensure increasing Arousal level Energizing verbal cues Self talk Powerful words: “Explode” Getting energy from environment The sun, national anthem, etc Transferring energy Reframe negatives in energizing positives. “Butterflies mean I am ready!”
