Emotions.


Click on Richo to buy the book by: David Richo

Women all do this subconsciously, when men hurt them, ignore them, and so on. But you're only adding to the extra mess.

How can I heal my painful emotions?

* Heal them and never let them allowed back. Burn the emotions so that there is no way this memories and emotions can come back. (This take not just practice mentally, but it will take time and lots of hard effort).

* Turn Failure Into Something Positive.

*Make Sure the guilt you're feeling remains a USEFUL
Emotion.

* Use Self-Affirmations if you have low self-esteem.
Say: I am good enough. I am giving and receiving love. I am friendly. Say this every morning that you wake up.

* Don't allow your hurt emotions to push you away. This is very dangerous, because now the both of you are doing it. Now you're pulling back, and so is your partner.
Now you're acting like co-workers, or roommates, or the passing neighbors that don't like each other but have to pass one another. This will destroy your relationship. If you're doing this because your partner is, then it is time to look at him/her and say: " I love you". If you get more feelings of anger or lose all anger and want to cry...this is a very good thing! This means that you caught your emotions and recognised them. Remember above I meantioned: "USEFUL GUILT EMOTIONS"?.
THIS came from the tears, not the added anger you forced into yourself and your relationship.

* Walls or whatever you would like to call them:
As humans we protect ourselves when we get hurt wether physically OR emotionally or mentally.
But this will destroy any relationship, so don't do it. Instead take the hurt, and turn it into something as a positive learning experience.

(Do What I call: Pollyanna glad game).

Never heard of that before? Well let me explain the situation & the move.

Pollyanna explains “the glad game” that her father taught her before he died. He believed that no matter what happens, there’s always something to be glad about. One should always hunt for the positive aspects in seemingly bad experiences.

The glad game originated one Christmas when Pollyanna, who was hoping for a doll, received only a pair of crutches. Making the game up on the spot, Pollyanna’s father taught her to look at the good side of things — in this case, to be glad about the crutches because “we didn’t need to use them!”


With this philosophy, and her own sunny personality and sincere, sympathetic soul, Pollyanna brings so much gladness to her aunt’s dispirited town that she transforms it into a pleasant place to live. The glad game shields her from her aunt’s stern attitude: when Aunt Polly puts her in an ugly attic room with no pictures, rugs or mirrors, she is glad for it. If she had a nice bedroom, she probably wouldn’t notice the beautiful trees outside her window. Had her aunt given her a mirror, she would have to look at her freckles. When her aunt tries to punish Pollyanna for being late to dinner by sentencing her to a meal of bread and milk in the kitchen with the servant, she thanks her rapturously because she likes bread and milk, and she likes the servant.


Pollyanna plays the game with others too. When a man breaks his leg walking down the street, Pollyanna reminds him that he should feel glad that he only broke one leg. She tells the gardener who is complaining about his bent back that he should feel glad about it; after all, he does not have to stoop as far to do his weeding because he’s already part way there. Her aunt, too — finding herself helpless before Pollyanna’s buoyant refusal to be downcast — gradually begins to thaw, although she resists the glad game longer than anyone else.



* And remember thoughts are energy and energy creates.


* Remember that YOU love her/him. 


* Remember treat others as you'd like to be treated. 


* Remember to live in the now, and not in the pasts. If it was last week...let it go it is now in the past just like looking in your rear view mirror watching the semi truck getting further away until it is no longer there. 


Now is the time for you to take your emotions into your own hands and start taking a positive direction with them. Destroy the walls you built, and walk through like a beast of love!

What does it mean to fight fair?

Fighting fair with your partner
Love is real, but is fights. Fighting is a part of every relationship. It’s going to happen in every relationship, even if you never experienced this with past partners, it is actually healthy to fight, but fight fair! Research says a healthy marriage fights a minimum of 7 times a day. Personally sounds much to me, but the experts say it is healthy and normal. Researchers have found that one of the best predictors of divorce is not whether a couple fights, but how they fight.
Having know about fighting fair can not only save a relationship, and marriage, but also make sure you both get what you need and bring you closer.
Few things will fuel intimacy, connection and closeness like being seen, being heard and coming through a storm side by side.
Conflict, is an opportunity for growth. When you intimately share your life with someone there are going to be disagreements.Sometimes a lot of them. Conflict is normal.
Attack the issues NOT your partner,
Don’t name call or bring the other person down to get on top of the argument. You are also belittling yourself because you're behaving like a toddler in his terrible 2's.
Stay on topic, and never go into the past,
Don’t bring in irrelevant details just to prove your point. It’s so tempting to confirm your ‘rightness’ by highlighting the other person’s ‘wrongness’, but don’t. It’s the quickest way to send an argument off track and land you in a place where you forget what you were fighting for. 
Don't confuse topics with issues,
Something about that issue is unresolved and the topics...the little things that start the arguments ( the towels on the floor),  are just the way the issue calls you both back to the plate to deal with it.
The topics aren’t the problem. The issue is. Find out exactly what it is (though you will probably already have a fair idea!) and deal with it.
Don't withdraw,
This is different to taking time out to cool down and get your thoughts together. People withdraw when they feel attacked, bored or disinterested and will pull back in an attempt to maintain autonomy, control and distance. Research has found a direct association between withdrawal and lower relationship satisfaction. If the silent treatment is your typical response, it will do great damages to your relationship.
Be open,
Conflicts in which one person expects another to know what is wrong without being told are more likely to end with anger or negative communication. Research has shown that people who expect a partner to mind read are more likely to feel anxious or neglected. Woman are know for using this because when women can get through she seeks out with giving hints as men call them.
But they aren't really hints. Men take them this way because they were never listening to her feeling to start off with and she knows no other way to try and be heard, so women give little hints we shall just call them.
What leads to anger,
The common culprits are sadness, hurt, insecurity, jealousy or frustration. If you can notice the real emotion you’ll have a better chance of responding to the real issue. Don’t turn your back, look away or pretend you’re doing something important while your partner is spilling himself or herself to you! You might miss something important that clues you in on what’s really going on inside their mind.
Attentive,
If your body shows up to the plate but your mind is on what to have for dinner, a couple of things could happen ...none of them good.
One is that the argument will keep going until your attention is turned to face. Another is that the argument will stop being about the issue at hand and will become about the way you ‘never listen’, or ‘don’t care’
or anything else that fits your process. Avoid the fallout by being attentive. 
Don't yell,
Yelling comes from anger. Anger comes from hurt.
At this point, someone needs to be the hero and calm it all down. Don't yell or shout or raise your voice. Be respectful to one another.
Stay away from ‘you always’ or ‘you never'

Listen and be curious,
    

 And you both are 50% 50% because it takes two to tango. 


 IF YOU'RE WRONG, APOLOGIZE. IF THE OTHER PERSON IS HURT, APOLOGIZE. Suck up your pride and be just as receiving as you would want your partner to be. 

Going in circles,
   STOP the circles. 

Compromise and don't leave things unfinished,
  a resolution, otherwise it will continue to press for closure.
 
 
 KNOWING how
 
 
Always say: I LOVE YOU even when you're mad at each other. This reminds you when you're mad or hurt with your partner that the love you have for them is deeper than the ocean. This ALSO will help you to be able to FIGHT FAIR in arguments, and even reduce arguments, because you are being more understanding as if it was you who wanted to be heard. Listen to understand not to respond. 

What will ruin communication and relationships,
* Crisis
* Contemp
* Defensiveness
* Stonewalling (putting up walls)

Cats mark their territory by scratching, spraying, urine, dropings.

When your cat scratches stuff they're doing more than filing down their claws. They're leaving their scent.
 Cats have scent glands on the pads of their feet, and scratching things is another way cats mark territory.

Cats leave their scent by scratching, peeing, spraying, leaving droppings, rubbing. All kittens and cats have scent glands on their cheeks, paws, flanks so  when they do this stuff against anything such a door, furniture, carpet, chair, and so forth, when they do these things even when they do it to you..they are putting their own personal scent on the objects.  
Spraying is when a cat backs up to a vertical surface with their tail erect and squirts make liquids or urine. Their tail quivers with shakes as they're spraying both these liquids.

Regular urinating is when they squat to pee, wether on the furniture, the floor, things lying on the floor or any other horizontal surfaces. Cats mark for territory and also for mating. The best solution to stop spraying is to get yours neutered or spayed by five months of age, no later then 13 months of age. Once a cat is in the behavior of marking no matter the type of marking it becomes an un-fixed behavior and the chances of re-correcting this behavior is very low, because now this is now a "fixed behavior" for the cat.

 It is important to catch them and correct them while they are younger, and to always be ready to catch any bad behaviors before they become "fixed behaviors in the kitten/cat".

 Neutering,  on the other hand, solves just about most marking issues with the spraying issues. Furthermore, the longer you wait to get your cat or kitten fixed the greater the risk that the spraying behavior will be ingrained. 

Bad behaviors:

Most people play with cats by moving their had or an object wether covered by a blanket or not,  just to watch them bounce on it. That might have been cute when the pet was a new born kitten.. but never so much with an adult cat who bares much larger teeth and sharper claws...with this set behavior.

 It’s best not to encourage this kind aggressive behavior when the cat is a kitten, because it makes the cat/kitten turn agressive. But even if you do this with your kitten or your cat, well you're stuck with it because you helped create it!  

There are ways to teach cats and it is most important to teach them the younger they are. Getting in the windows, on the counter tops, on the table, on or in the dresser & the closet & cabinets, trash cans, bags, and all the other extra stuff both cats and especially kitten love getting into. There is always a way to train a kitten and a cat. 

 If clapping your hands and saying NO doesn't work, then it's time to go buy a spray bottle and fill it up with some water. WATER ONLY. Everytime the kitten or cat is having bad or un-wanted behavior spray the cat or kitten once and say; NO! If the kitten or cat responds well to this method...well, then go back to clapping your hands while saying NO! 

For some cats they get the clue and will stop when you clap your hands and say NO when they see the spray bottle. If your cat or kitten stops listening during this training method, spray the cat or kitten as many times as needed, for the bad behaviors to stop. Most cats or kittens don't like getting wet, so spraying them with water is safe and effective. 

Remember training any kind of animal always takes time, dedication, responsibility, and a consistency. You're cat or kitten is no different. 


  1. Buy and fill a new spray bottle with plain water only.
  2.  It is important to purchase a brand new spray bottle to use for spray bottle training to assure safety.
  3. Wait for your cat or kitten to do something he/she shouldn't be doing.
  4. Spray water at your cat
  5. Try not to let your cat or kitten see that you are spraying him/her. But if he/she catches you at times, don't worry about it. Just try to let the cat or kitten think all you're doing is clapping and saying NO! 

People often assume that cats are untrainable, but that is not true! 
 Cats and kittens are highly intelligent animals and can easily be taught a variety of behaviors, even tricks. Begin training your kitten as soon as you bring him home, in order to give him the best chance of fitting in with your family. Here are five foundational training steps to take with your kitten.


You can teach you kitten/cat to sit, stay, dance, use the toilet that you use, and more. 

People also offten make the mistakes of playing with their kitten/cat with their hands, and not cat toys. This is a bad idea as it teaches the kitten/cat to victimise human hands of all ages. when a cat owner roughhouses with her kitten, the kitten learns that it’s OK to play with their teeth and claws on the owner’s skin, which easily escalates into harder bites and scaes and scratches all become harder harder. This is why it is important to use cat toys to interact with your cat. A feather on a string, a ball or a catnip toys, will be as enjoyable to your cat as your hands.

What Is Myers-Briggs Personality



The Myers–Briggs Type Indicator is an introspective self-report questionnaire with the purpose of indicating differing psychological preferences in how people perceive the world around them and make decisions. 

The ISFJ

ISFJs are known for being detail-oriented, conscientious, and consistent. They see current information in relationship to how it compares to past experiences. Because of this, they quickly notice changes and unusual patterns. They tend to have vivid memories of experiences that are personally meaningful to them and they enjoy re-playing these memories often. When they are enjoying an experience they think to themselves, “I’m really going to enjoy remembering this someday”.

ESTJs filter everything they see in terms of what’s useful, what can be used to achieve goals, and what is known and trustworthy. They like to organize their world efficiently and make decisions using objective logic. They appreciate clarity, order, and competence and believe that each person should be held accountable for their actions. They get a sense of satisfaction from making decisions, checking off items on a to-do list, or planning to achieve a goal for the future. Because of their drive to have closure they are usually decisive. It’s very irritating for them to be around people who procrastinate or seem wishy-washy.

ESFJs are masters of observing patterns in human behavior. They use all the information they learn about people to achieve harmony and improve morale. Because they spend their entire lifetimes observing what works and what doesn’t in social situations, they are usually good communicators and influencers. Most ESFJs desire to help people and communities in real, tangible ways. They are often skilled at leading and directing people to achieve a common goal. Their eye for detail and their ability to keep order makes them good at organizing people according to their strengths to get a job done.

ISTPs enjoy living in the moment. Rather than theorizing about what could happen someday, they prefer to stay tuned into what’s happening now, keeping an eye out for current opportunities and smart solutions. They are highly observant, detail-oriented, and logical. While they tend to appear stoic and reserved, they usually have a good sense of humor and don’t tend to take themselves too seriously.

ISFPs use Extraverted Sensing (Se), they are very in-tune with what is happening in the present moment. They are keyed into their five senses and can sense nuances that other people miss – nuances in sights, sounds, textures, even flavors. They are usually objective in how they see the world and rely on facts and observable realities to inform their views on life. While they may have idealistic views, they are not afraid to get their hands dirty and be practical to solve human problems.


Because ESTPs use introverted Thinking (Ti), they are constantly building a conceptual blueprint of how the world works and how everything is connected. They yearn or accuracy and you can see that in their choice of words – they tend to use very specific, concise words to describe their thoughts. They enjoy observing cause-and-effect and analyzing problems to find expedient solutions.

ESFPs are simultaneously charismatic and practical. They yearn for adventure, but have an approachable, easy-going charm that makes them a friend to many. They are extremely realistic individuals who know how to tune into the present moment completely. Because they are so in tune with what’s happening as it happens they generally have quick reflexes and are able to respond to sudden changes with speed and precision. ESFPs, like ESTPs, tend to be “jacks-of-all-trades” – this is because their interests are broad and varied and change according to the environment they are in. They believe in maximizing the enjoyment of every experience so they tend to be adaptable and optimistic.

INTJs filter information via a process called introverted Intuition (Ni). This means that they see things in various perspectives and notice future implications related to what is happening in the present moment. They go through life with a “if this, then that” approach to everything. They have a habit of seeing everything from so many different perspectives that they see connections and meanings that many other people miss. They love to explore ideas, theories, and abstract interrelationships and they enjoy considering future possibilities and scenarios.


INFJs make decisions via a process called extraverted Feeling (Fe). They are concerned with how each of their choices will either positively or negatively impact other people. They care about harmony, maintaining morale, and improving the emotions of the people around them. This tends to make them skilled in the art of counseling.

ENFJs use a process called introverted Intuition (Ni), they enjoy thinking about the future and possibilities and implications. They are more focused on tomorrow than today and are often highly ambitious and determined in their ideals and hopes for the future. They also tend to shift perspectives and look at situations from various angles and contexts so that they can further empathize with others and understand where they are coming from.

INTPs are quick to spot inconsistencies and logical flaws. They enjoy taking ideas and statements apart and reworking them – sometimes this makes them appear overly critical, but INTPs have a hard time understanding why anyone wouldn’t want accuracy to the same extent that they do.

ENTPs use their thinking process to internally take apart situations and ideas and analyze them from the ground up. They have a strong desire for accuracy and precision and they don’t mind offending people or tossing out traditions that seem irrational, inaccurate, or based entirely around emotions or social norms.

ENFPs value harmony and goodwill with the people in their lives. They are good at adapting to the needs of others and tend to appear warm and supportive. That said, they don’t mind standing up for an unpopular opinion or bringing up a controversial topic if they feel that the situation they are in is lacking sincerity or open-mindedness.

What kind of parent are you



For each item, indicate how much you agree or disagree with the statement. This takes most people about 4 minutes to complete. Take your time and answer truthfully for the most accurate results. (If both parents are available, they should both take the quiz and then compare their parenting styles.)
A helicopter parent, is a parent who pays not close attention, but EXTREMELY close attention, to a child's or children's experiences and problems, particularly at educational institutions. Helicopter parents are so named because, like helicopters, they "hover overhead", overseeing every aspect of their child's life constantly.
Lawnmower parent

These parents are called lawnmower parents because they "mow down" a path for their children removing all obstacles that may cause discomfort, challenges or struggles. This parent not only thinks they help their child but probably does a lot of the work for the child or at least checks to make sure that everything is correct. The child will never learn mistakes or responsibility.

Tiger parent

The tiger parent is known for putting excellence in academics and carefully chosen extracurriculars above leisure time. Parents are authoritarian and have high expectations in school. This is tough-love parenting where children are expected to respond to challenges.   

Elephant parent

As close to opposite of tiger parenting as possible. These parents value emotional security and connection. Independent sleeping may not occur during the 0-5 years. These parents seek not to raise their voices and value encouragement over academic or athletic success. 

Dolphin parent

Shimi Kang writes in "The Dolphin Way: A Parent’s Guide to Raising Happy, Healthy,and Motivated Kids Without Turning Into A Tiger" that these parents seek collaboration, flexibility and balance. This parenting is further defined by the acronym POD. P for play and exploration, O for others and D for downtime, which includes rest, exercise and sleep.

Attachment parent

Attachment parents desire close contact between baby and caregiver through baby wearing, breastfeeding and co-sleeping. These parents use natural closeness rather than the clock to determine their babies' needs. Parents also emphasize role modeling and positive discipline by using praise and rewards for good behavior and loss of privileges for poor behavior.

Free-range parent

These parents allow their kids to walk to school or a nearby playground alone. Young children may be allowed to ride public transportation or shop alone. Free-range parents believe this freedom promotes independence and self-reliance.

How messages effect behaviors

 How messages affect our behavior

https://psychology-spot.com/subliminal-messages-how-they-affect-our/



Subliminal messages are processed in the brain but they fail to reach conscience.
About how they could affect our behaviors and decisions is still a widely researched issue, and although the opinions of the psychologists are very different about it, the popular beliefs establish a cause-effect linear relationship between the emission of the message and the behavior of the person. However, the incidence of subliminal messages is stranger than their creators can imagine and sometimes can generate opposite effects.
The reason for the lack of knowledge about the subliminal phenomenon can be understood approaching its history. The first rigorous research in this field was carried out in 1919 by Poetzle, to establish a relationship between subliminal stimuli, the post-hypnotic suggestion and the compulsive neurosis. Then, the study of subliminal perception didn’t call the attention again until the end of the 1950s, when in 1957 Vicary, a researcher of the U.S. market, showed a tachistoscope (a machine that projected on the screen invisible messages that can be captured but do not reach consciousness).
