The different types of minds and their negativity III.
Here’s a brief description of the types of minds and the negativity each type is usually prone to.
Joy-oriented mind– Such minds have a capacity for exuberance, excitement, passionate outlook and a child-like playfulness (which is not the same as holding on a child-identity). These minds are more oriented towards work that feels playful and creative, rather than work that requires a high level of organization, meticulousness and structure. They like working in relaxed environments rather than pressure oriented ones. When you subject a joy oriented mind to a monotonous or aggressive work-situation, it can feel burnt out and irritated.
The various negativities that a joy oriented mind can be prone to (based on its outlook and conditioning) are – Greed, suppression, neediness, jealousy, meekness and arrogance.
Love oriented mind– The eternal romantic, this type of mind is mostly poetic in its outlook to life. A love oriented mind has a deep capacity for being caring and affectionate. It has a desire for constant romance in all aspects of its life be it career or relationship – not suited for aggressive or pressure-oriented jobs.
The various negativities that such mind can be prone to are – neediness, over-sensitivity, meekness, jealousy, unworthiness, suppression and self-pity.
Hate oriented mind– These types of minds are mostly serious, have a low sense of humor, tough, exuding an aura of aggressiveness. Such minds lack the aspect of sensitivity, to a large extent, which gives it the capacity to be brutally competent and goal driven. They easily fit into work that requires aggressiveness, leadership and ability to handle pressure.
The various negativities that can creep into such a mind are – arrogance, exploitation, greed, jealousy and cynicism.
Fear oriented mind– People with this type of mind are highly sincere, loyal, committed and serious. They mostly lack a good sense of humor and most of them are highly organized as a bid to keep their life as structured as possible. They are suited for jobs that require meticulousness, and even monotonous jobs (which suits their serious mindset).
The various negativities that can be present in a fear oriented mind are – neediness, meekness, jealousy, unworthiness, self-pity and suppression.
Boredom oriented mind– People with this type of mind are mostly laid back, they talk with a drawl and usually come across as being “sleepy”. Some of them actually have a high intellect level and they fit into monotonous jobs as well as strategy based jobs which require a lot of discernment and tact. They exhibit a lot of “alpha” characteristics because they are usually slow in their movements, serious and not easy to impress.
The various negativities that they are prone to are – dullness, suppression, cynicism and unworthiness.
Sex oriented mind– All minds have a sexual nature, but certain minds are totally dominated by this dimension. You can sense the aura of sexuality in these people is so strong that it just shines like a neon light. They are highly connected with their own body and have a deep capacity for sensual appreciation. They do well in jobs that require people management (most of them have a strong charisma), leadership and creativity. They also fit into monotonous jobs depending on their intellect level.
The various negativities they are prone to are – dullness, greed, suppression, unworthiness, arrogance, cynicism and exploitation.
Awareness brings the aspect of wisdom
All these types of minds can get imbalanced in their dominant dimension as well as in other dimensions in the absence of awareness (which brings wisdom and balance). The various negativities are just signs of imbalance stemming from a place of disconnection with an inner wisdom and wholeness. In the presence of awareness, you can align with the natural makeup of your mind while also bringing a field of wisdom to its expression.
To try to change the natural makeup of your mind is totally futile, because it’s hard-wired, it’s your natural conditioning coming from the intention in which you were born. You need to let go of fighting your natural makeup and move towards aligning with it consciously. What’s required is to release the negativity, because it’s only the negativity that attracts a misaligned reality for you. When you align with the natural makeup of your mind, and release the negativity, you are now in a place to attract a highly congruent reality for yourself.

Different Types of Minds and Their Negativity II.
Greed– The mindset of over-indulgence is also a reflection of inner lack where we try to use some outside experience to compensate for the emptiness we feel within. Greed always has negative repercussions because it stems from the vibration of lack.
Exploitation– When we lack a sensitivity towards life, we start perpetrating unnecessary abuse and exploitation towards others. There are some humans who even exploit/abuse as means of entertainment, which is quite boggling to contemplate but it’s still the truth of human consciousness.
Meekness– The inability to stand up for oneself, and thus stay in a place of servitude, out of fear, is what meekness is all about. Meekness attracts exploitation in the form of getting bullied, victimized, patronized and cheated. A lot of people misunderstand meekness as humility – true humility is just a state of balance, and it’s free of meekness.
Cynicism– The mindset of being cynical (having a critical outlook) is the one which lacks sensitivity and love. Cynical people are always trying to put others down, usually out of their need for a sense of superiority (which is indicative of an inner lack).
Unworthiness– The mindset of having self-hatred where you intrinsically feel that you don’t deserve good things in your life.
Self-pity– The mindset of wallowing in a sense of “why me” or harboring thoughts like “I am so good but others are so bad to me”. People who wallow in self-pity are prone towards blaming the outside for their miseries and always consider themselves as the victims of life. They sometimes even purposely attract some form of abuse in order to feel more pity for themselves.
Arrogance– The mindset of “I am the best around” or “I am kind of a big deal”, the narcissistic behavior. Arrogant people genuinely feel superior about themselves but their lack of sensitivity towards life causes them to stay disconnected with several aspects of well-being.
Jealousy– The mindset of comparison where you feel bad about the well-being, or abundance, of others.
Dullness– This negativity arises when you develop a feeling of hopelessness towards life where you just become insensitive to its aliveness.
Different Types of Minds and Their Negativity.
Understanding your mind is the prerequisite towards aligning with it. Everything physical has limited dimensions – the “mind” (the brain in your body) is physical and hence has limited dimensions/aspects to it. Anyone who has some awareness can easily see all the aspects of their mind quite clearly, and can also understand/know the aspects of any human mind that they observe. I’ve explained the dimensions present in a mind in this post – the 6 dimensions of a mind. Each human mind has one dimension that’s most dominant in it and the dimension which is most dominant in your mind defines the type of mind you possess. So basically there are 6 types of human minds – joy oriented mind, love oriented mind, hate oriented mind, fear oriented mind, boredom oriented mind and sex oriented mind. With some amount of observation/awareness you can easily find out what type of mind you possess.
Another aspect of physicality is “negativity”. There are basically 12 types of negativity -
Suppression, Neediness, Over-sensitivity, Greed, Exploitation, Meekness, Cynicism, Unworthiness, Self-pity, Arrogance, Jealousy and Dullness. The presence of any one of these negativities in you is enough to attract a negative reflection in your external reality. You need to take the time to identify the types of negativity that you carry within, and start working on dissolving it, through your awareness of it, to attract a congruent reality. There is a definite co-relation between the type of mind you possess and the type of negativity you are likely be carrying within – each type of mind has capacity for only certain types of negativity, for example a love-oriented mind has no capacity for “arrogance” as a negativity.
The benefit of understanding the types of minds, and the types of negativities, is that it helps you easily identify the resistances in you and thus let go of it, allowing for quicker alignment. It’s my understanding that the reason why people have a hard time letting go of their negativity is mostly because they are not able to differentiate between the natural makeup of their mind (the type of their mind) and the negativity that’s present in it – instead of letting go of the negativity most people start trying to change their mind’s natural makeup which is not possible, and hence becomes a futile endeavor, and also leads to a misaligned/confused life. Once you free yourself of a negativity within you, you also free yourself of its reflection in your external reality.
The types of negativity
As I mentioned before, physical realm is a realm of boundaries and limitations, and hence everything physical is quantifiable. There are basically 12 types of negativity that’s capable of being present in a mind/brain (be it human, animals, birds or any living organism with a brain) and once you understand them you will have a clarity about the negativity in yourself and in other humans. Below is a brief description of each of the negativity
Suppression– We, as humans, indulge in the practice of suppression in many ways and sometimes even associate the word “noble” with it. We like to suppress our natural drives, our natural movement, our thoughts and our emotions, in a bid to feel more in “control” of our life. However, suppression of any form is not natural and hence always has a negative repercussion. Once you have a stability in your awareness, you stop trying to suppress the physical aspects in you and allow them to play out in the presence of the wisdom of your awareness. The only reason we ever try to suppress something is out of fear, it’s not “noble” or holy, it’s just fear. Anyone who is free of identification with fear, does not indulge in suppression tactics or techniques – and thus becomes more “natural” in his/her behavior.
Neediness– When we feel a sense of lack in us we look to the outside for giving us a sense of “completeness”. If you ever feel that you can’t live without something/someone, you know you’ve become needy. You can be needy for approval, love, physical gratification and entertainment (material or spiritual). Desire is natural, but to be intrinsically needy towards it is a movement of negativity. There is a big difference between neediness and a desire for a certain experience. For example, you can desire the experience of an intimate relationship and that’s totally natural, but when you are needy of a relationship the equation is one of negativity. When there is a lack of inner worth, neediness is inevitable.
Over-sensitivity– It’s one thing to be sensitive towards life and another thing to be imbalanced in your sensitivity to the point where it becomes a source of suffering for you. People who are over-sensitive are easy targets for victimization because of their tendency towards the notion of “self sacrifice” (which seems noble but is just an imbalance). People who are over-sensitive are definitely “nice” but can easily become repulsive due to their suffering-orientation.

Three Types of Mind II
The shift from one type of mind to the next is not something that can be easily taught. It is something that evolves to the degree that you are able to minimize your fears and expand your consciousness.
We evolve from a socialized mind to a self-authoring mind to the degree we are able to overcome our anxieties and fears, individuate, and feel confident about our own capabilities to survive and thrive—our ability to adapt and master life’s challenges.
We evolve from a self-authoring mind to a self-transforming mind to the degree that we can detach from the outcomes we think we need, and live in the expectation that we will get exactly what we need to get to the best outcome. This way of being aligns with a spiritual approach to life: the ability to trust in a beneficent universe; the ability to dissolve your attachment to a specific outcome; and the ability to remain at ease with uncertainty.
In the industrial age, organisations mainly wanted employees with socialized minds. They wanted people who were good team players, pulled their weight, were loyal to the company, and could be counted on to follow conscientiously the directions or instructions given to them by their bosses.
Today, in the information age, organisations mainly want flexible and knowledgeable employees—people who are able to act responsibly, take initiatives, and work independently. They are looking for people with self-authoring minds.
What type of mind are you operating with? If you are managing people who do repetitive tasks that do not require too much initiative—people with socialized minds—you will need to have a self-authoring mind. If you are managing people who are constantly being challenged to innovate and find new solutions—people with self-authoring minds—you will need to have a self-transforming mind.
In either case, to build a high performing team, you will need to give all team members the opportunity to express their ideas and opinions about their work. This means that you will need to get past the idea that you have all the right answers and that your job as a leader is just to tell people what to do. You will need to be skilled in personal mastery if you are going to manage at team.
You will only be successful as a leader of a team if you are able to support your team members in finding fulfilment. And, you will only be able to do this, if you know and understand what type of minds your team members possess and what fulfilment looks like for them.

UFAFANUZIWA MASWALI MBALIMBALI YA WADAU WA ELIMUKUHUSU MATOKEO YAMTIHANI WAKIDATO CHA NNE(CSEE)2013
Baraza la Mitihani la Tanzania lilitangaza matokeo ya Mtihani wa Kidato cha Nne (CSEE) 2013 tarehe21/02/2014. Baada ya kutangazwa kwa matokeo hayo, Baraza limekuwa likipokea maswali mbalimbali yanayoashiria kuwa baadhi ya wadau wa elimu hawakuelewa vizuri kuhusuViwango vya Ufaulu(grade ranges),alama yachiniya ufaulu(pass mark) naUfaulu wajumlawa mtahiniwa(overall performance). Baraza la Mitihani linapenda kutoa ufafanuzi katika mambo hayo kama ifuatavyo:
1.
Viwango vya ufaulu (grade ranges) ni makundi ya alama yanayopangwa ili kuwaweka pamoja watahiniwa wenye uwezo unaofanana katika somo husika na kuwatofautisha na watahiniwa waliopo katika kundi jingine. Makundi haya hupangwa ili kuwawezesha wadau kutambua namna watahiniwa walivyotawanyika katika viwango mbalimbali vya umahiri wa somo husika. Baraza la Mitihani la Tanzania, limekuwa likitumia makundi Matano (5) kwa kipindi kirefu hadi mwaka 2012. Aidha, Kuanzia Mtihani wa Kidato cha Nne(CSEE)2013, Baraza limeanza kutumia utaratibu waMakundi Saba (7)ambayo niA, B+, B, C, D, EnaF. Utaratibu huu umelenga kupunguza mlundikano mkubwa wa alama katika kundi moja. Mgawanyo wa makundi hayo ni kama inavyoonekana kwenye Jedwali la 1.

Aidha, Idadi ya makundi ya ufaulu hutofautiana kati ya nchi na nchi kulingana na mahitaji ya nchi husika. Kwa mfano; Kenya wana makundi Kumi na mbili (12), Malawi Tisa (9), Uganda Tisa (9), Nchi za Afrika magharibi (Nigeria, Ghana, Siera Leone na Liberia) makundi Tisa.
1.
Kwa kuzingatia viwango vya ufaulu vilivyoainishwa katika makundi saba yaliyopo kwenye Jedwali na 1, kiwango cha chini cha ufaulu ni gredi D na kiwango cha juu cha ufaulu ni Gredi A. Mtahiniwa atakuwa amefaulu somo husika iwapo atapata gredi D na kuendelea. Aidha, mtahiniwa aliyepata gredi E na F atakuwa hajafaulu somo husika.
1.
Madaraja ya ufaulu yamepangwa kwa mujibu wa kifungu cha 20 (1)-(6) cha Kanuni za Mitihani kinachoelekeza kuwa Ufaulu katika daraja la Kwanza hadi la Tatu upangwe kwa kuzingatia jumla ya alama (Points) na Ufaulu katikaDaraja la Nne unapangwa kwa kuzingatia ufaulu wa chini aliopata mtahiniwa ambao ni gredi D katika masomo yasiyopungua mawili au ufaulu kwa kiwango kisichokuwa chini ya Gredi C katika somo moja. Hivyo, madaraja yaliyotumika ni kama yanavyoonekana kwenye Jedwali la 2.

Foods That Boost Brainpower...II
Green and black tea
According to recent studies, green and black teas appear to have the same effect on Alzheimer's disease— a neurodegenerative disease resulting in the loss of mental functions and memory — as drugs specifically designed to combat the illness.
Both types of tea fight the illness in many ways, but the most significant seems to be that they prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine, a key chemical involved in memory that is lacking in Alzheimer's patients. Green tea was one step ahead, as its effects lasted a full week, whereas those of black tea — which comes from the same plant as green tea but is fermented — only lasted a day.
Sage
In a recent study, subjects who took sage performed significantly better than those who didn't on a word recall test. Although the exact mechanism behind this isn't fully clear, experts believe sage might increase levels of a chemical that helps transmit messages in the brain. Since this is also the same chemical that is lacking in Alzheimer's patients, the possible use of sage to treat this illness is being examined.
Rosemary
Like sage, rosemary can stimulate the memory, strengthen mental clarity and alleviate mental fatigue. Studies have shown that rosemary enhanced subjects' long-term memory by around 15%.
supplements & moreB vitamins
While a healthy, balanced diet generally provides you with all your essential vitamins and nutrients, a vitamin B complex supplement can be beneficial for your memory, particularly in periods of stress. When you are under mental or physical stress, your body is depleted of B vitamins. This deficiency prevents acetylcholine — a key chemical involved in memory — from functioning in the brain.
B vitamins also carry oxygen to the brain and do away with damaging free radicals; this helps to enhance memory and sharpen the senses. You can either take a supplement or increase your consumption of vitamin B-rich foods, including liver, eggs, lentils, soybeans, and green beans.
Iron
Iron deficiency — the most common nutrient deficiency in the United States — is linked to many adverse effects, including difficulty concentrating, diminished intelligence, and a shortened attention span. Iron helps carry oxygen to the brain, and the lack of oxygen associated with iron deficiency can cause brain cell activity to slow down significantly.
A simple blood test can determine whether or not you suffer from this deficiency. If so, you can either take an iron supplement or consume iron-rich foods such as lean meats, beans, and iron-fortified cereals. Vitamin C also helps your body absorb iron, so try to combine the two with supplements or with whole foods during meals.
Water
Since the brain is 70% water, this essential fluid is vital for your memory. In fact, water accelerates the functioning of the brain as a whole, and when it is dehydrated, it works at a slower pace. This is particularly true when it comes to memory; a dehydrated brain releases the hormone cortisol, which adversely affects the brain's capacity to store information and create memory.
In addition, cortisol causes adrenalin to be released, which prompts the brain to function in a more primary, instinctive way; this also affects our mental functions and memory.
brain foodIt's really quite simple to integrate a few foods or supplements that will improve your memory and concentration into your everyday diet. An egg in the morning, a cup of green tea after lunch, some sage in your spaghetti sauce at dinnertime, and lots of water all day... you'll be feeling like a genius in no time.
Foods That Boost Brainpower.
Whether you're having trouble concentrating at work or you just need an extra mental kick to make it through your finals, there are many foods, herbs and supplements that can improve your memory, concentration and focus. If you combine these "brain foods" with regular exercise and a good night's sleep, you'll have boosted your brainpower in no time.
However, keep in mind that while some foods can be beneficial for your brain, others can have quite the opposite effect. Processed foods that are high in simple carbs, sugar, salt, and preservatives — such as pies, cakes, and some breads and cereals — can actually inhibit the release of chemicals needed for the brain to function properly.
If you're looking to boost your brainpower, here are some whole foods, herbs and supplements that can help.
whole foodsEggs
Since the solid (non-water) part of the brain is primarily composed of fat, we must provide it with "good fats" — essential fatty acids or EFAs — through our diet because the body does not produce them. In fact, fat is essential in the formation of synapses in the brain that are involved in the creation and maintenance of memories. Eggs are an excellent source of EFAs.
Oily fish
If your mother told you that eating fish would make you smart, she was right. Oily varieties of fish — such as salmon, sardines, mackerel, and herring — are high in the EFAs known as omega-3 fatty acids. These good fats are crucial components of our brain cells and improve learning powers and memory.
Sardines also have the added benefit of containing the nutrient choline, a brain chemical that is fundamental for memory.
Soy
All the whole foods mentioned here also have the advantage of being packed with protein, which triggers neurotransmitters associated with memory. Soy is no exception. Soy protein isolate, which consists of a concentrated form of protein extracted from soybeans, is a great source of protein that can be found in supplements, liquid or powder form.
But soy — found in natural products such as soymilk or in soy isoflavone supplements — is also valuable for improving verbal and non-verbal memory, as well as mental flexibility.
herbsGingko biloba
Gingko biloba, which has been used in Eastern cultures for thousands of years, is perhaps the most well-known and one of the most potent "memory herbs." It works by increasing the blood flow to the brain, by dilating the blood vessels and increasing oxygen supply. However, it isn't an instant solution as it can take a few weeks to start seeing results. It also gets rid of free radicals that can damage brain cells.
Boost your brainpower with these everyday herbs you probably have lying around your kitchen, as well as with some basic supplements....

Faida saba (7) za kupenda kujisomea sehemu ya pili.
5. Kusoma kunaongeza ujuzi wa kuandika vizuri.
Ukiwa unasoma kila siku kwa walau dakika chache (dakika 15-30) tu iwe ni gazeti au jarida la habari, kitabu au kurasa kadhaa za tovuti mbalimbali kwenye intaneti, basi kuna uwezekano mkubwa wa kuwa umesoma na kuona mengi. Unaposoma sana ndivyo unavyoongeza ujuzi wako katika kupangilia na kuandika maneno vizuri. Makala nyingi tunazosoma kwenye magazeti na tovuti za kuaminika kwenye mtandao wa intaneti zinakuwa zimeandikwa na waandishi au watunzi mahiri katika sanaa ya uandishi. Hivyo unaposoma kazi zao unajifunza mengi kuhusu namna ya kuandika na kupanga kazi zako za kimaandishi vizuri.
6. Kusoma kunapunguza msongo wa mawazo.
Inaaminika kusoma kunaweza kukuchangamsha kwa kuhamisha mawazo yako kabisa na kufuatilia kile unachosoma kwenye kitabu kwa wakati huo. Mfano: Hebu chukua jarida la vichekesho, mkasa wa maisha wenye kukupa hamasa au kitabu takatifu cha kiimani (BIBLIA au QURAN TUKUFU). Kwa kadri utakavyokuwa unasoma na kujifariji ndivyo unavyokuwa unatuliza akili na kuwa katika hali ya amani na utulivu wa nafsi. Utakavyokuwa na utulivu wa nafsi na akili ndivyo utakavyokuwa na afya njema kwa kuondokana na maradhi kama ya kuathirika kisaikolojia, shinikizo la damu (blood pressure) nakadhalika.
7. Kusoma kuna burudisha.
Inafurahisha sana kumkuta mtu anasoma gazeti akicheka kwa kuwa amefurahisha na kile anachosoma. Hadithi za kwenye vitabu, mashairi na vibonzo (katuni) vya magazetini na majarida mbalimbali ni baadhi tu ya viburudisho unavyoweza kusoma na kufurahi. Ulimwengu wa vitabu una mengi ya kusoma, kujifunza na kuburudika kazi ni kwako.
Faida saba (7) za kupenda kujisomea.
Kupenda kusoma ni tabia nzuri ambayo kila mtu ni muhimu awe nayo. Tunalazimika kusoma kwasababu asili ya mazingira yetu kuna mambo mengi ya kujifunza licha ya matukio mengi ya kidunia yanayotokea kila siku. Ukiachilia mabadiliko ya kijamii (namna tunavyoishi), kiteknolojia, kisiasa na ya kiuchumi yanayotokea kila mahali ulimwenguni bado kuna sababu muhimu sana ya sisi kupenda kujisomea hata pale tunapokuwa hatupo shuleni (vyuoni). Inapendeza na kuleta hamasa pale mtu anaposoma mambo ya kujiendeleza yeye binafsi kwaajili ya kujijenga na kuimarisha maisha yake mbali na vile vitu anavyosoma au alivyosoma darasani kama taaluma yake ya kikazi. Ikiwa bado unakuwa mzito katika kupenda kusoma tafadhali soma hizi faida hapo chini kisha utajifunza kitu kuhusu kusoma.
1. Noa maarifa (panua ufahamu na uelewa wako) kwa kusoma.
Usomaji wa vitabu utakufanya ujue mambo mengi sana katika mazingira yako. Hebu tafakari kama leo utasoma kitu fulani cha kukusaida au kubadilisha maisha yako, bila shaka utakuwa umeingiza kitu cha ziada katika maisha yako kwa siku ya leo.Mfano:Kwa siku ya leo umesoma namna ya kumhudumia mtu aliyepata ajali (iwe ni ajali kazini, nyumbani, barabarani n.k)kwa kumpatia huduma ya kwanza. Kwa kujifunza namna ya kutoa huduma ya kwanza kwa mtu anayehitaji msaada utakuwa umesoma kitu muhimu sana cha kuweza kukusaidia popote pale na wakati wowote ule kwakuwa utakuwa unatambua na kufahamu nini cha kufanya. Kila siku soma chochote kile cha kukuongezea maarifa ya maisha na ipo siku utatumia ujuzi ulionao kujisaidia mwenyewe au mtu mwingine kutatua matitizo.
2. Kusoma kunaongeza utashi wa kutamka maneno vizuri.
Unaposoma sana ndivyo unavyoona na kujua mengi, ni vigumu kwako kushindwa kusoma kabisa au kutamka maneno vizuri ikiwa unafahamu asilimia kubwa ya maneno. Kama wewe ni msomaji mzuri wa vitabu au unaperuzi sana kwenye mtandao wa intaneti utakuwa umesoma maneno mengi sana kiasi cha kuweza kutamka vizuri maneno mengi bila shida yoyote. Huwezi kuwa unafahamu maneno yote bali utajiongezea uwezo kutambua maneno na kukisia vizuri namna yanavyosomwa na kutamkwa. Fanya hivyo na utaona unapata maendeleo katika kuongea.
3. Kusoma kunaongeza uwezo wa kuhifadhi kumbukumbu.
Ukisoma na kuvutiwa na kitu ulichosoma bila shaka utahifadhi kumbukumbu akilini au kwenye karatasi ya kile ulichosoma kwa manufaa ya baadae. Ukiwa umesoma hadithi yenye mkasa wa kuburudisha, matukio yaliyotokea mahali fulani au historia ya kitu fulani, kumbukumbu hizo za kile ulichosoma zitahusisha mambo mengine ili uweze kukumbuka kitu chenyewe. Hivi ndivyo mfumo wa kumbukumbu unavyofanya kazi.Mfano:Ili uweze kuvuta taswira ya hadithi uliyosoma kwenye kitabu fulani ni lazima utakumbuka picha ya kitabu chenyewe ndipo ukumbuke ndani mwa kitabu hadithi yenyewe ilikuwa inahusu nini. Ubongo unafanya kazi nyingi sana katika mwili wa mwanadamu, kwa kadri unavyojaza kichwa chako na mambo mengi mazuri ndivyo unavyoufanya ubongo uboreshe kumbukumbu halisi ya kile unachotaka ukumbuke.
4. Kusoma kunaongeza uwezo wa kufikiri.
Unaweza soma kitabu chenye maelezo mengi ya kimafumbo au misamiati ya kukutaka kufikri ili uweze kuelewa, wakati ukiendelea kusoma utakuwa unajiuliza maswali mengi ni yapi majibu ya hicho unachosoma. Kwa kutafakari ili ufumbue kilichoandikwa utapanua fikra zako na hivyo kuongeza uwezo wako wa kutambua, kufahamu na kuelewa mambo kwa haraka. Faida moja wapo ya kuongeza uwezo wako wa kufikiri ni kuweza kutatua matatizo unayokumbana nayo katika mazingira yako kwa usahihi na ufanisi mkubwa.

Confident Eye Contact.
Confident Eye Contact
Improving Self-Confidence through Eye Contact
It’s a cliché to say that the eyes are the windows to the soul, but in more ways than one, they are. The eyes are also the mirrors of self-confidence. A person can easily assess another person’s self-confidence by engaging in eye contact. People with low self-confidence hate making eye contact. They would tend to look at the ground as if they are looking for a lost coin.
The eyes are the first things which are noticed in the human face and they leave a long-lasting impression to the beholder. It’s fairly normal to hear someone say “I like girls with beautiful eyes,” when he is being asked about his idea of an attention-grabbing face. The eyes can make statements at a glance like no other part of the body can make. Imagine a short film which is entirely composed of a shot of a human face with the eyes slowly pouring out tears.
Even with no words, the eyes can reveal a lot about someone. A person who is trying to hide his unhappiness can never really pretend to be happy without people noticing it. The eyes can tell stories that are never meant to be told. They can decipher thoughts and insecurities which are engraved in the deepest holes of one’s souls.
The eyes also act as a meter to one’s self-confidence. The eyes play a big role in making relationships, building careers and in portraying sincerity and competence, in general.
Girl in a Bar
Making eye contact can start relationships. For example, if a man finds a likable girl in a party or a bar, he would look at her when she is not looking, once the girl looks back, the man would try to hold his stare for a few seconds then he would turn away. He would repeat this set of moves for a few times while prolonging his stare after every move. He would then make his move towards the girl or back away permanently. What happens here? In making eye contact, one can convey interest towards someone else. The man’s stare definitely should get the message across to the girl. Once the move is done, the reactions of the girl are assessed. Making eye contact is a give and receive thing. One must not only convey but he must also listen to the response through his eyes. Holding the right length of eye contact will set the move for introducing oneself. Holding eye contact to long may get someone accused of being a maniac or a freak, while not holding it at all will portray someone as shy person with a low self-esteem and a lot of insecurities.
Job Interviews
Interviews only last a few seconds long because more often than not, the verdict will be made through first impression. Making eye contact with the interviewer will make him see one’s seriousness in getting the job. A lousy applicant will avoid eye contact because of fear. This is not a very good thing to do because interviews are primarily done to test someone’s ability to handle pressure. Interviews are also meant to display someone’s ability to express him or her self and what better way to instantly express one’s personality than through eye contact?
Speaking in Public
One of the main factors that can make or break the delivery of a presentation to an audience is eye contact. Eye contact helps take the fear away from the speaker by getting the audience closer to him. Stress is mainly a result of being with the unknown and uncontrollable. Eye contact gives the speaker a picture of the reality that is the audience. It also helps in getting the attention of the audience. People in the audience would like to feel noticed and making eye contact with them makes them feel that the presentation is being delivered at the personal level.
Making eye contact is an essential tool in expressing oneself and getting responses from others. The eyes can tell the story of someone’s life in one glance. People should not be afraid or feel awkward in making eye contact as long as it is done in a courteous and proper manner.

5 Ways to Feel Empowered Each Day.
“If we did all the things we are capable of, we would literally astound ourselves.” – Thomas A Edison
The question we need to explore is not what we know but what we embrace and practice in our life on a daily basis. Most of my clients and people I talk with know what they are supposed to do but doing it is always the issue. Given that we are mid-way through the year, it’s the perfect reflection point to take note of what’s working in your life and what small changes you can implement that will make a positive impact. The consistent small actions add up and often lead to amazing results by year-end.
Here are five powerful yet simple ways to make a meaningful difference in your life on a daily basis:
1. Be The CEO of You Inc.
You Inc. represents all the different areas of your life including Career, Relationships, Finances, Healthy Living, Fun & Creativity, and Personal Growth. You need to invest in and be mindful of each of the areas to present your best self on a daily basis. The key theme to realize is that life is a series of choices and you are in the drivers seat (not someone else). You Inc. is the most important business you will run because it’s your life and you need to take an active role in all the decisions. It’s time for you to decide what commitments get added to your plate and when to say “NO” vs “YES.”
2. Assess Your Words
Yes, we’ve all heard that being “positive” is important and makes a difference — so why aren’t we doing it all the time? I continue to see people limiting their potential because they embrace negative words and beliefs. Our mindset defines what we believe is possible and impossible. So if we continue to reinforce that starting a new business, running a 10k race, or finding a job is impossible then that’s the song that runs through our mind. I encourage all of my clients to delete the words, “can’t” and “impossible” from their vocabulary and use words that inspire, empower, and motivate you such as I can, I will, and I believe in myself.
3. Remove The Should Factor
I should spend more time with my family, I should volunteer at my children’s school, I should attend that social event….the “shoulds” go on and on. But what we really need to focus on is what we want to do and be rather than what we think we should be doing? The most precious resources we have are time and energy so if you are consumed with thinking and doing all the “shoulds” in your life, there’s little time to focus on the parts of your life that are most fulfilling. You can implement this small shift by starting to notice when and if you use the word “should” and if it positively or negatively impacts your life.
4. Redefine Success
Often our definition of success changes over the years but we do not adjust our mindset, goals, and actions for the life we want to live today. After business school, I defined success in terms of title and money but soon realized that success for me was about being fulfilled, making a difference, and loving what I do.How do you define successin your life and are you taking steps to create the life you want?
5.Set a Goal That Matters
This seems like an obvious one but so many people either do not set goals, set vague goals, do not take action on their goals or set goals that are important but not a priority. The amazing part about goals is when you set a goal that genuinely excites you and is a top priority in your life, you are focused and motivated on a daily basis. It adds that spark to your life and gives you a purpose when you start your day.
The process of setting goals is about feeling a sense of mastery and building confidenceeach step of the way. To start, focus on goals that are meaningful, genuinely excite you, and that you are willing to make a priority today. Goals are personal so choose one that speaks to you and then write it down. Remember it’s a process so be patient and ready for some bumps on the road!
Top 1% Bottom Line:Living your best life is a mindset, choice, and way of life. Once we decide that being our best is not optional but rather how we live, a world of opportunities open up and challenges are re-framed. We see the world through the lens of what if and why not and train our mind to focus on solutions rather than problems. The choice is yours!
