  1. 2. Self-regulation Self-regulation allows you to wisely manage your emotions and impulses - you show or restrain certain emotions depending on what is necessary and beneficial for the situation. For example, rather than shouting at your employees when you're stressed you may decide which tasks can be delegated. Benefits: Self-regulation helps earn the respect and trust of employees. Useful when adapting to change. Allows you to react rationally. Improve self-regulation by: Taking responsibility if you have made mistakes. Rather than blaming others admit that you are at fault. You'll feel less guilty and your team will respect you for it. Responding to situations calmly as your communication is more effective when you're in this state and this feeling will spread to others. Breathing techniques, such as controlled breathing, can be useful practice.
  2. Keeping a diary of the situations that have triggered disruptive emotions in you, such as anger, and your thoughts and behaviours during those situations. With this information you can form an understanding of your emotions and reactions and work towards self-regulation. Receiving feedback from staff as this can highlight how others perceive you and it also helps you target unhelpful reactions. Observing the response others have to your behaviour.
  3. 1. Self-awareness Self-awareness is the ability to accurately recognise your: emotions, strengths, limitations, actions and understand how these affect others around you.

  5. Emotional intelligence (EQ) is the ability to identify and manage your emotions, as well as other people's emotions. If you're emotionally intelligent you have the ability to: Identify what you're feeling Know how to interpret your emotions Understand how your emotions can impact others Regulate your own emotions Manage other people's emotions Some people naturally inherit high EQ but it's a skill that you can practice and develop.

  7. Myers-Briggs types ISTJ ISFJ INFJ INTJ ISTP ISFP INFP INTP ESTP ESFP ENFP ENTP ESTJ ESFJ ENFJ ENTJ INTJ INTJ: The Architect (Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, Judging) Sometimes referred to as the "Architect" or the "Strategist," people with INTJ personalities are highly analytical, creative, and logical. Key INTJ Characteristics INTJs tend to be introverted and prefer to work alone. INTJs look at the big picture and like to focus on abstract information rather than concrete details. INTJs place greater emphasis on logic and objective information rather than subjective emotions. INTJs like their world to feel controlled and ordered so they prefer to make plans well in advance. Strengths Enjoys theoretical and abstract concepts High expectations Good at listening Takes criticism well Self-confident and hard-working Weaknesses Can be overly analytical and judgmental Very perfectionistic Dislikes talking about emotions Sometimes seems callous or insensitive Dominant: Introverted Intuition INTJs use introverted intuition to look at patterns, meanings, and possibilities. Rather than simply looking at the concrete facts, they are more interested in what these facts mean. People with this personality type enjoy thinking about the future and exploring possibilities. When remembering events, they may recall impressions more than exact details of what occurred. INTJs are good at "reading between the lines" to figure out what things might really mean Auxiliary: Extraverted Thinking As a secondary function in the INTJ personality, extroverted thinking leads people to seek order, control, and structure in the world around them. For this reason, INTJs can be very deliberate and methodical when approaching problems. People with this personality type tend to make decisions based on logic. They organize their thoughts in order to see cause-and-effect relationships Tertiary: Introverted Feeling INTJs use introverted feeling but because it is a tertiary function, they do so to a lesser degree than they use the dominant and auxiliary functions. Those who develop this aspect of their personalities more fully pay greater attention to values and feelings when making decisions. As a result, they may also feel more drawn to people and activities that are well-aligned with their values. Inferior: Extraverted Sensing In INTJs, this tends to be the least developed of their cognitive functions, but it does still exert some influence. This function allows people to experience process information through their senses. When this function is in play, people may feel that they are living in the moment and are energized by the world around them. Personal Relationships People with this personality type are introverted and spend a lot of time in their own mind. INTJs work best by themselves and strongly prefer solitary work to group work. While they tend not to be particularly interested in other people's thoughts and feelings, they do care about the emotions of the select group of people to whom they are close. In personal relationships, INTJs are willing to devote time and energy toward making these relationships successful. Other people often interpret INTJs as cool, aloof, and disinterested, which can make forming new friendships challenging. People with this type of personality often see little value in social rituals and small talk, making it even more difficult to get to know them. They tend to be reserved and prefer to interact with a group of close family and friends. Career Paths When INTJs develop an interest in something, they strive to become as knowledgeable and skilled as they can in that area. They have high expectations, and they hold themselves to the highest possible standards. INTJs are good at gathering information from the outside world, analyzing it, and reaching new insights. People with this personality type tend to be very analytical and logical. They value information, knowledge, and intelligence, and make excellent scientists and mathematicians. They tend to do particularly well in fields that require efficiency and the ability to interpret complex information such as engineering, academia, law, and research. INTJs typically do well in careers that integrate their strong ability to understand and evaluate complex information with their ability to put this knowledge into practice. Careers that allow the INTJ to work independently and autonomously are also ideal. Popular INTJ Careers Scientist Mathematician Engineer Dentist Doctor Teacher Judge Lawyer Friendships INTJs tend to be solitary and self-sufficient, so establishing friendships can sometimes be difficult. Because people with this personality type tend to think so much of the future, they may avoid getting to know people because they believe that a long-term friendship will not work out. The good news is that while INTJs may not have a lot of friends, they do become very close and committed to those who persist. INTJs tend to prefer friends who are also introverted, rational, and low on emotional drama. Parenting INTJ parents tend to be thoughtful and attentive, yet they are typically not highly affectionate. They have high expectations for their kids and offer support by helping kids think logically when faced with decisions. Parents with this type of personality encourage their kids to be self-directed critical thinkers who are capable of solving problems on their own. If your child is an INTJ, focus on finding ways to encourage your child's intellectual strengths, but try to find a balance that avoids excessive perfectionism.You can also help your child develop their emotional strengths and look for ways to express their feelings. Relationships Because INTJs can be difficult to get to know, romantic relationships can sometimes falter. If your partner has this personality type, it is important to know that loyalty and understanding are important. Don't be afraid to show that you are dedicated to your INTJ partner, but also don't pressure them to spill their emotions.
  8. INFJ - the sage/advocate. Sometimes referred to as the "Advocate" or the "Idealist," people with this personality type often feel misunderstood. Perhaps it's because they're the rarest MBTI personality type, making up only 1% to 3% of the U.S. population.1 Or maybe it's because they're walking, talking contradictions. They're easy-going perfectionists. Both logical and emotional, creative and analytical. Key INFJ Characteristics Compassionate: With their strong sense of intuition and emotional understanding, INFJs can be soft-spoken and empathetic. This does not mean that they are pushovers, however. They have deeply held beliefs and an ability to act decisively to get what they want Helper: While they are introverted by nature, people with this personality type can form strong, meaningful connections with other people. They enjoy helping others, but they also need time and space to recharge. Idealist: What sets the INFJ apart is their ability to translate their idealism into action. They don't just dream about changing the world—they make it happen. Organized: People with this personality type like to exert control by planning, organizing, and making decisions as early as possible. Both emotional and logical: When making decisions, INFJs place a greater emphasis on their emotions than objective facts. But this doesn't mean they see the world through rose-colored glasses. INFJs understand the world, both the good and the bad, and hope to be able to make it better. Strengths Sensitive to the needs of others Reserved Highly creative and artistic Focused on the future Values close, deep relationships Enjoys thinking about the meaning of life Idealistic Weaknesses Can be overly sensitive Sometimes difficult to get to know Can have overly high expectations Stubborn Dislikes confrontation Dominant: Introverted Intuition This means that they tend to be highly focused on their internal insights. Once they have formed an intuition about something, they tend to stick to it very tightly, often to the point of being single-minded in their focus. Because of this, they are sometimes viewed as being stubborn and unyielding.

INFJs sometimes struggle to say no to other people's requests for this reason. They are so attuned to what other people are feeling that they fear causing disappointment or hurt feelings Tertiary: Introverted Thinking INFJs make decisions based on ideas and theories that they form based on their own insights. INFJs rely primarily on their introverted intuition and extroverted feeling when making decisions, particularly when they are around other people. When they are alone, however, people with this personality type may rely more on their introverted thinking. In stressful situations, an INFJ might try to rely on emotions when making decisions, especially if it means pleasing other people. Under less stressful conditions, however, an INFJ is more likely to rely more on their intuition. Inferior: Extraverted Sensing While this is a less developed and largely unconscious aspect of the INFJ, it does have an impact on personality. This aspect of personality helps INFJs pay attention to the world around them and stay aware of their surroundings. Extroverted sensing also helps INFJs better live in the present moment, rather than simply worrying about the future. This aspect of personality also helps INFJs appreciate physical activities such as hiking and dancing. Personal Relationships INFJs also have a talent for language and are usually quite good at expressing themselves. They have a vivid inner life, but they are often hesitant to share this with others except for perhaps those closest to them. While they are quiet and sensitive, they can also be good leaders. Even when they don't take on overt leadership roles, they often act as quiet influencers behind the scenes. INFJs are driven by their strong values and seek out meaning in all areas of their lives including relationships and work.

They can be perfectionists at times and tend to put a great deal of effort into their work. Co-workers tend to feel that INFJs are hardworking, positive, and easy to get along with. Because they are introverted, however, they may find that they need to retreat at times to recharge. In managerial roles, INFJs can sometimes struggle to exert authority. They tend to lead with sensitivity and are good at helping subordinates feel appreciated in the workplace. Jobs that require a great deal of routine or adherence to strict rules can be difficult for INFJs.

  9. My third boyfriend Life in America. My romance with Joseph continued from September to December and mid January. Things were great during this time. I was the luckiest girl in the world. I was the happiest in my life during this time. Maybe because Joseph was so loving, he knew exactly how to make me feel, he knew exactly what to do. He was as passionate as a true lover can be. Oh God, do I even want to remember how wonderful this time was? This was the best time of my entire life! I wish there was a way to frame this time forever at my bedside so the goodness of its memory would always fill my heart with joy. Joseph gave me the best and most sexy months of my entire life.. Joseph was special in a different way.
  10. My third boyfriend I started craving Joseph. We decided to meet. I didn't want to move in with him because I was still with my family. Although I desperately wanted to marry Joseph, things would take a difficult turn in the next year and things won't be the same between me and Joseph. I met him at a bus stop close to my house in Seattle and then he showed me his house which was just a few blocks from the bus stop. This bus stop was a few stops away from my house. So I would get off the bus at his stop and then walk to his house. I did this plenty of times. I would never tell my family that I was spending time with him. It was all secret. I would normally tell them that I was just visiting a friend. Joseph had a southern accent. He was a macho. He knew how to make me happy. He was very romantic. Every time I was with Joseph, it felt like we were made for each other. He would serenade me. He was the sexiest guy I dated. He looked hot. He had strong legs. Joseph was a boxer. He was a boxing champion in school. He had already been married and divorced and he had a kid.. Joseph was a heart patient. He was much older than me.
  11. Higher paradigm thinking. Think from a bigger tier. Higher wisdom. There is always a wisdom higher than yours and try to think from that tier. Leo's Structure Versus Content deals beautifully.... I need to think big picture think. But I'm going to reform it just a bit. Instead of saying big picture think I'll say high tier thinking. Think from the next higher tier of wisdom. Build it up like a Domino. Keep building
  12. The problem of language, blabbery and Mental Gymnastics. The thing is that I always get tempted to easily react to mental gymnastics. It's tough not to. But I'll try. The other thing is the question "what's the point of blabbery?" The question I ask myself is "Why not invest in healing and aesthetics and more growth in non invasive/defensive ways? “ Growth does happen through antagonization and debate and relentless thought provocation. But can be stressful and overwhelming. Try growing through other positive non impactful and healing paradigm ways. Of course there is no denying that debates help in shadow work and understanding and learn the truth and the game of the world better, but it is a huge expenditure of peaceful energy, a huge cost in terms of restlessness and chaos Retain the peaceful energy and focus on growth instead.. The opportunity to grow through critical thinking is always at hand's reach. So don't suck into it. But rather start conscious focus rather than instinctive/intuitive focus. Or focus which is naturally inclined or allocated.
  13. The other thing that I found with the brain is the problem of not only language and or interpretation of it but also that of perspective. Perspective leads to bias. It's like watching the prism. You see it from your angle and let's say it appears blue. From another angle or perspective it appears red. You can't say for sure if a perspective is right or wrong. But the perspective is right with regard to the context it has born from.
  14. Sometimes the best moments in life are when you give up on everything and savor the moment. And just get dog tired at the end of the day. Like really really tired. And then you can say to yourself "this is so over" You don't want to deal with anything whether it's job stress, fights, family calling, work pressure, neighbors throwing tantrums, piles of mail... No no nothing. Nothing becomes more precious than this beautiful little moment like a small pearl in the palm. Just grab it and cherish it and say rest is bullshit. And then there is a tremendous sensation of liberation and freedom from stress. It feels like defeat but a sweet defeat is better than a painful victory. What's the point of fighting so hard to keep everything alive. Just jump into the pool and take a plunge and just surrender and release yourself to the feeling of emptiness and let go anything and everything. It feels like healing.
  15. I guess there are tests for it.
  16. Evil as a medium of expression or formation of good Also something that I label as bad must be originating from egoic needs and survival needs and structural needs. The need to continue in excellent condition. Example Let's say wax in its solid form is rigid. But when you burn wax, it melts. That's where it is released. The tension in the wax and its rigidity is released. Now let's say this wax is more pure because it's impurities have been burned out. And now it can easily mold into a desired shape.
  17. I want to wake up everyday and look at this beautiful thing. I will call it the Circle of Hypnotica.
