Everything You Need To Know About Kinesiology

The word 'Kinesis' in Greek means movement and Kinesiology studies the relationship between the quality of muscular movement and overall health. Kinesiology deals with methods of maintaining good health through proper functioning and movement of all the muscles in the body.

This system operates under the belief that each part of the body is connected to a corresponding muscle. If a muscle is not working properly, associated parts will be affected and this manifests as a disease.

Kinesiology is related to acupuncture and draws on the principles of ancient Chinese medicine. Both sciences deal with the specific paths in the body called meridians. As in acupuncture, Kinesiology believes that physical disorders are a direct result of blocks in the path of the energy flow in our body.

A trained Kinesiologist employs muscle testing to identify problem areas. The doctor applies pressure on a clenched muscle and asks the patient to resist the pressure. Thus he assesses muscle movement and response. The practitioner looks for any physical disorder, lack of nutrition or lack of energy that may be at the root of the problem.

Once the problem area is identified, gentle techniques are used to re-establish harmony and to rejuvenate the flow of energy. A light massage on the relevant pressure points usually restores the flow of blood to the muscles and stimulates the secretion of lymph. Lymph is responsible for detoxifying the muscles. So when the muscles receive a good supply of lymph and blood, they function well.

Other common forms of treatment include the use of magnets, flower essence, homeopathy and even thought control. Most patients find their Kinesiology sessions immensely enjoyable and relaxing. They leave therapy with a feeling of wonder that such a joyous experience could really cure them of their illness.


An experienced Kinesiologist would be able to assess the ENTIRE health chart of a client in just a single sitting. The therapist may identify allergies, deal with phobias or stress, rectify nutritional imbalances and may even start the process of detoxifying the entire systemof the patient.

Like any other holistic medical practice, you really do not need to have any external symptom to benefit from Kinesiology. Even in the absence of illness, Kinesiology helps improve health, increases the feeling of well-being, boosts intellectual functioning and unleashes positive attitudes. In short, it can help individuals reach the highest point of their potential. One can achieve success in just about any field by riding on a high wave of confidence and ability.

Kinesiology works because it is non-invasive, gentle and free of side effects. Kinesiology is an effective preventative therapy. Some of the areas where Kinesiology works wonders are:

- Prevents illnesses
- Increases energy levels
- Relieves physical pain by improving posture
- Heals traumas
- Identify allergies
- Enhances brain functioning and coordination

Spiritual Kinesiology is a relatively new but powerful branch of Kinesiology that helps people transcend their unresolved emotions and limiting beliefs. If used properly Spiritual Kinesiology uses the healing power of the soul to reverse an unbalanced energy pattern and sets it right in just a few MINUTES!

Kinesiology offers a complete health care package by taking care of physical, emotional and mental development. The ease and effectiveness of this technique is sometimes mystifying, even miraculous.

Revisioning


Why Important?

Three years of work, Mas Kamal realized that he was not apparently been working in physical and spiritual. His body was working in that office but he thought not in it. Finally, the knowledge, expertise, experience and relationships, all of which is an important asset in a career, only a few are obtained.



After doing Revisioning, there arose the perspective that the job was not sought from an ideal that does not exist by rejecting what is out there, but from love / appreciate what is out there to get what is still outstanding. The ideal material was obtained from celebrating the reality, rather than deny reality (denial).



Similar story ever dialmi Mbak Ida. For years he felt a barrage of failure to appear is sometimes frustrating. After doing Revisioning, terkuaklah an indication that so far she is too eager to get that big and that many at once (one-off action).



If we desire to burden himself with a number of high (according to our current size) and had to be reached directly at once, then our focus becomes clear. When the focus is not clear, our actions are also unclear. When action is not clear, we take penahapan also unclear.



Bang nearly as well with Odi. After seeing the development of such a progressive fellow contemporaries elsewhere, she realized that she had been too satisfied with the existing ones. As if his position was the most perfect sehingg not need no improvement. With Revisioning, he realized, even the best, it must be improved.



Examples of the above case illustrates that Revisioning will make us know if during this step we are already in line with the vision or even contradictory. Although we have a vision to Solo, but if we step into the path of Bekasi, for sure we will get to Bekasi. This world will realize our deeds, not our wants.



Revisioning will make us know if we step over the management of this is just right or not. Failures that often occur during this is not necessarily caused by our inability. One chose the strategy and focus, or less precise in formulating penahapan in planning, can also be the cause.



In addition, Revisioning also will make us reconnect to our vision. This will bring up the source of a new spirit, new perspectives and new understanding. Our response to the everyday reality often leave a variety of graffiti in mind, just like scribbles on paper. Without Revisioning, scribbles that would block our view of the actual vision. That is why it is important Revisioning.

"If you look into yourself, your vision will be clearer.

Who's looking out the will to dream.

And who looked into would rise. "

(Carl Jung)





Between Vision and Fantasy

Revisioning mean revising what is the vision of our careers or businesses over the years. What we understand about the vision for this? In language, as we know, the vision was yes shadow (mental / spiritual). In various theories of self-development, the vision is understood not merely as a shadow image.



Vision is the shadow that was real (obviously) in our mind about what we want to achieve in the future (possible better future), but not real in the real world. Because it is not real, then our job is to make it happen through action or mission. This vision is often associated with what is usually called the "Law of Creation", The Law of Creation.



According to law, all human creations are created through two processes, namely creation of mental and physical creation. Before making proposals, letters, or live action, we must first imagine the mental nature. Even before we wear certain clothes to go to work, we had previously imagined.



So also with the steps in our careers. As far as mental creations that we create it clear in the sense of specific, concrete, attainable, and the process has achieved "read" accurately by the mind, the physical creation we may also be unclear. If that happens on the contrary, it is possible steps we are confused.



This is also what we need to make it an important reason why Revisioning. Do-not what we understand as long as this vision (which is a real inner shadow) it was really only a fantasy. Fantasy rarely inspire us to action. Fantasy fact often makes man lazy berakasi. Fantasy is a mental creation that has not been clear. Fantasies are often as unhealthy reaction to reality.



When viewed in the dictionary, a fantasy that has two versions, namely version of the ancient and the modern versions. According to Webster's dictionary Marriam, the ancient version of the fantasy is hallucination. Hallucinations are often a result of the abuse / distortion (disorder) or neglect (denial). People who abuse drugs often experience hallucinations. People who ignore the development of the capacity of intellect often experience hallucinations.



Prof. Dadang Hawari (2003) defines a hallucination as an experience of sensory stimuli without menimbulkannya source. People who claimed to have heard something, but can not find the source of the sound called menimbulkannya suffer hallucinations. The person who creates a fantasy all-wah about him, even though there is no evidence to support sufferers also called "hallucinations".



"It is sad if we can only fantasize

without being able to formulate a vision "

(Helen Keller)




Stuck In Pragmatism & Utopisme

If it rests on God's guidance, we should, it is necessary to have an ideal standard in our career or business. But it should be noted that our attitudes toward the ideal that we should not just force it to happen. The ideal is that, if we can not make it happen, should we make a reference or referral that inspire our actions.



This is the same as God's creation of the heavens. Although the sky we can not reach the sky but from God's good fortune that can enrich the lowering of the earth, such as sunlight and rain water. Same also with the vision. Despite the existence of an ideal world, in a sense possible to reach or impossible to reach (according to our view today), but vision is what gives his fortune in the inspiration and motivation for action.



But of course the vision alone is not enough, just as God did not merely create the sky. He created this earth to live. The sky illuminates the earth so that we can step on the earth. Can we make this an indication that in addition to having an ideal standard (vision), we also need to create the target action in response to actual and factual reality that exists on earth based on our vision of light from the sky.



So, if dikongkritkan, regardless of any career situation and our efforts today, it would be better to have a vision that we remain always be clear with Revisioning and action. It's that vision that illuminates the steps we are or we can step on the instructions of that vision. What is the benefit? The benefit is to always appear the urge to change into a better direction from time to time continuously.



According to the practice of life, the emergence of impetus for change that is the manifestation of our harmony with reality. Harmony with reality rather than mere means peace or calm the "" forced ". Peace with reality is dynamic in improving the reality of today (realizing the vision).



People who live in peace with occupation or profession rather than those who happened to get his version of an ideal job or the people who accept what is the job, but someone who mendinamiskan thought. Even as we are already in place the ideal, but if our mind stagnate, we must be visited by boredom. Conversely, although we currently resides at a location less versatile, but if our inner dynamic, for sure we will arrive at the ideal place.



Though God created the heavens and the earth with the instructions, but we often forget. We do not view the heavens and the earth as a pair. We are less conscious in placing idealita world and reality as a couple. We often do is contrasted (as opposed to position) between the actual ideal; between desire and reality, between the reference and ground.



Because it encouraged the spirit of contrasts, the negative reaction that often arises is seeking pelampiasannya. The general case, we rebound it if not to the pragmatic yes to the utopian. Pragmatic is a picture of the man who sank into a reality, do not believe in the shadow of the ideal, the pursuit of short-term interests only. While the utopian is the opposite, running away from reality by creating a fantasy.



"If you only have a vision without action, you're imagining.

If you just act without a vision, you lost. "

(Japanese proverb)




Step Resolution

Revisioning the core of our step is the resolution so that more and more clear, more assertive, and more powerful. If this has not materialized revision means that we do not necessarily vision. Maybe it was a fantasy. The motivator is often suggested that in Revisioning it is necessary to have a process commonly called "creative visualization".



This actually is a set of mental actions (mental creation) which aims so that we can see more clearly the vision and planning. If we already know where we are and where we are going, maybe we need to explore various ways and means to achieve it. Mental actions recommended, among others:

1. Increase the intensity in communicating with yourself. Come up with creative questions to test whether our vision for this is right or not. Right in the sense of appropriate competence, according to the value, according to the excess, as expected, and according to circumstances.
2. Formulate SMART Goal (clear purpose). The objective here is a statement about what he meant is certain we can accomplish as part of the realization of vision. There's a big goal (objective) and there is a small goal (target).
3. Focus on the use of existing resources (material and people). Avoid the mind to rely on resources that have not may be held now or rely on external factors.
4. Come up with new energy and spirit. This can be done by creating a new variety of reasons and motives, whether from external or internal. For example we need to improve career move because it needs, competition, or because the demands of development, and so on. Always the better is the internal motive
5. Awareness program to select the decision to go forward, not to silence or to retreat.



"Apparently, effort and courage are not enough.

It requires purpose and direction. "

(John F. Kennedy)

Guilt and Shame


Are there memories suddenly faced repeated when the school first? When you're really not ready but it happened to my friend and affordable thin-brained side by "a glance of your eyes", well ... deh congratulations! The incident may have been experienced by hundreds of students in this hemisphere, including Indonesia and perhaps all of us who are reading this paper. What happens after that, whether in secret shame entrenched in the recesses of the heart, or guilt? Or, relax aja, kok not very often.

In a criminal news, a mother reported her own child's head hitting the heart itself which was two years old and slam it to death. Initially he refused to acknowledge his actions, but ultimately he could not dodge and acknowledge all the actions, the reason he was upset to see the kids spilling food on a plate and whether such loss of sense to do that. On the television, the mother did not cry or speak faltered when interviewed, his expression as if he were telling something very normal, although he admitted regretfully. Act is clearly already known to many parties especially immediate environment, if only the expression / appearance or did he not feel guilty, embarrassed by the pretext of "like trance." What is clear, at least any mothers could not afford to tell you flatly or even fainted to see her child die, what happens with the mother's emotions?


Emotion Theory

In general, emotions are viewed as social adjustment, associated with individuals, and therefore have expressive traits (Plutchik, 1980). Tomkins (1987) identifies nine basic affective or congenital, that is of interest or excitement, or joy Enjoyment, surprise or startle as a positive affection. While the negative form of affection, distress or anguish, fear or terror, shame or humiliation, contempt or disgust, and anger or Rage. In view of Tomkins, guilt (guilt) is included in shame (shame). Shame, though, including congenital, but not a primary emotion, but an emotion that arises after the affection of interest or joy appears, this feeling occurs because of the incomplete fulfillment of the affection his predecessor.

Meanwhile, in the concept of Izard (1977), emotions occupy a larger space in the context of personality (personality). Emotion is seen as one of six (6) subsystem that is homeostatic, drive, emotion, perceptual, cognitive and motor, which interact to form one's personality. During its development, Izard stated that emotions occur as part of the maturing process, and the appearance of each person depending on individual learning experiences in the process of socialization.

On the other emotion theory, it emphasizes the social aspect of guilt, like Rivera (1984) which states that emotions evolved as a result of adaptation functions in human relations. In his view, all the emotions associated with the adjustment of this relationship, between self and others, where every emotion is useful to maximize the value of those relationships.


Guilt and Shame


Guilt is understood as an awareness of cognitive and negative feelings related to a moral standard. According to Ausubel (1955), guilt is one of the most important mechanism for individuals to socialize in culture. While Buss (1980) explains the difference between guilt and shame lies in terms of self-awareness (self-consciousness) and his own public (private or private). According to him, guilt is personal, the real test of guilt, no one can know for sure. On the other hand, guilt is a self-conscious public. Buss defines shyness as a social emotion continued from shyness, and anxiety embarressment audience.

Concept Mosher (1961,1966,1968) which, based on social learning theory (social learning theory), defines guilt as a general expectation in the media self-punishment for violation (or anticipatory breach) is internalized from the moral standards of behavior.


Empirical Research

Guilt has been tested as a complex construction associated with the affective, cognitive, personality, genetic, cultural, and dynamic aspects. There is evidence to indicate that guilt is a universal experience and innate, although specific standards that triggered it will vary not only between cultures but also between individuals.

Guilt is more closely related to the distress which was followed by fear and little to do with feeling happy (joy) and surprise (surprise) (Izard, 1977). A special test of the prediction Buss showed that guilt should be more strongly linked with personal self-awareness rather than to the public, this is apparently not getting a strong evidence (Jones & Kugler, 1993)


Interpersonal Relations


As has been stated in the beginning, it is assumed that guilt develops in the context of interpersonal and is important in interpersonal relationships. In one study involving inpatient and outpatient psychiatry (Carver, 1990), characters on opposite was found guilty in connection with self-reported interpersonal and relational variables such as intimacy, trust, perspective, satisfaction with the family, and on the size and suportivitas social network, also directly related to loneliness (Loneliness), treason partner relationships, the dimensions of personality disorder is also associated with relational problems (eg, schizoid, or personality passive-Aggression). In research that uses GI (Guilt Inventory; instrument of self-report), in general the results obtained indicate that the guilt associated with interpersonal problems.


Guilt & Shame as a key societal


A number of conclusions can be drawn from the shelf above, such that guilt can be ascertained in relation to social status of one's relationship. Second, guilt is defined as a contribution to the moral standards which seem useful to prevent immoral expressions, as stated by Mosher (1979) and others.


Further, the guilt associated with moral violations are widespread, but probably only when those behaviors endanger the status of an individual's relationship, for example, when a husband or wife demanded a divorce following the arrest and punishment follow-mate on a serious crime.


In the conclusion of Jones et al, moral standards and moral behavior is a common bond. More than that, seems to experience guilt when the personal relationship is threatened or disrupted, either questionable or not, the behavior is against the law or not approved / preferred the wider community.

Clearly, guilt or shame into one of the keys in a society. Chaos and rampant criminality and other immoral acts whether obvious or subtle, should raise questions in the hearts of each human being, where guilt and shame of this nation. Suppose every individual who still have them then this nation will be more mature and responsible, to see the community leaders who continued to commit corruption not as a justification for acts of anarchy in the public or other individuals. In the end back on ourselves, start to listen more conscience, empathy and sensitivity training on emotional social issues around us, especially for those who are lucky taste education and a comfortable position. Blasphemy and anger is an expression that might be a relief but it is certainly not a solution, wherever we are, start to wake up this nation from where we stand.

Family Role In Formation of Self-Esteem





One of the factors that influence the development of self-esteem is to do with other people, especially the significant Others, such as parents, siblings and close friends. Among the existing social structures, family is the most important thing, because the family is the closest environment, both physical and social support. The family is the first environment encountered by individuals and become an important place in the development of a human life.

The family became an important social structure because of interaction among family members is going on here. Behavior of someone in the family can affect the behavior of other family members. Someone in the family can feel herself loved, wanted, accepted and valued, which in turn helped him to better appreciate her own. An unhappy family situation is less personal which can generate positive self-esteem. Happiness of a family is affected by the existence of relationships between members of a harmonious family, good relationships between parents and children as well as relationships between children and siblings.

Problems that often occur in adolescents in relation to the needs of the family are teenagers who are not understood by other family members, namely the importance of the presence of friends. In this period the child with family dependency began to decrease, and a teenager would be more likely to spend time with her friends. In adolescence, peers (peer) became an important figure and an example is of a social emphasis for teens, more than parents.

Causes of Discontent On Other People



X a student who liked to be picky teman.Ia easy to see the lack of friends and people who do not label as well. And then he avoided friends with that person. After a long time he did not have any friends because everyone has a flaw in the eyes of X. Finally X lonely.

Human beings are often said to be a never satisfied with something that has or on others. Humans often do not convict people better if you find the things he disliked. Are you also include someone who has character like this?



Meaning behind A Tale
Before we discuss this, first I would ask you do you ever watch or read the fairy tale Beauty & the Beast berjudu or movie called Shrek? If you've never seen it, about what lessons can you capture the fairy tale Beauty & the Beast or a movie called Shrek? You would know if a fairy tale Beauty & the Beast tells the story of the beautiful who are willing to accept the ugly as it is, finally the turn into the ugly-looking. What exactly is the meaning of the fairy tale Beauty & the beast? Some people see that the ugly can be turned into a handsome prince. When analyzed more deeply, one message from the fairy tale beauty & the beast, and the like that the human perception of the weakness of others can change if you find the positive side / kindness. And the film which tells the story of Shrek Shrek the Giant romance with the beautiful princess would like to extend that true love will accept others as they are.

If we reflect ourselves, have we become people who are willing to accept others as they really are and more to see the advantages possessed by another person? It can not be denied if at this time most people prefer to insult and denounce someone because of flaws and blemishes or mistakes ever made. Insult and reproach as though it was a culture. Most people still like to find someone else rather than see the lack of advantages.


Sources of dissatisfaction in Others
There is dissatisfaction is a positive, because we are trying to make the better or not do actions that cause problems and dissatisfaction. But there is dissatisfaction with the negative, which is destructive because it is based on hatred, envy, jealousy and the desire to destroy / defeat the other party. For example, we do not like the neighbors bought a large flat screen TV, we also want to have a bigger again until the debt is strangling the neck.

Human dissatisfaction is not just limited to property or goods owned, but also in interpersonal relationships. Now according to Gunadi (2004) the factors that can be a source of human discontent in others, among other physical factors. Shape and posture and presence of disability into one factor for the source of dissatisfaction in interpersonal relationships. There are people who prefer to mix with people that the ideal posture, his face handsome / beautiful, looks cool. It has become common knowledge. Otherwise, people will not be competing to improve their looks. Second, temperament. There are people who are not satisfied when communicating with people who are taciturn, morose, pessimistic people, resigned to the fact, otherwise there who do not feel like interacting with the cheerful and active. Some other factors that influence the culture, religion, education, and age.

Psychologically, we express dissatisfaction at the other people are basically self-sourced. Why? One of the factors causing the self-righteousness (see others bad, and yourself better), this is a pattern of abusive foster parents who tend to be either verbal, emotional or physical. Thus parents more often criticizing, insulting, disparaging the child rather than giving credit for the excess or the ability of the child. And even though the child had tried to optimal as possible, praise and recognition from parents not being given. Such a child is growing up with the belief that he was not good enough person and fear of rejection is often overshadowed by the environment. Many people like this in our society. They are racing to get recognition, to reach the high standards that are not clear and vice versa, putting the demands that are not rational, either to ourselves or to others.

In such situations, people more sensitive to rejection and ketidakterlibatan perceive himself as a confirmation that he was not good enough, while there are other people better than him. Such a person will easily feel threatened by the presence of others so that interpersonal relations can not be interwoven with an open, warm and colored sincerity. Each person is in an unhealthy climate of competition, mutual suspicion and tried searching for the lack of others to secure herself a position.


Solutions
How do we achieve satisfaction in interpersonal relationships with others? Actually, there are some things we can do to make interpersonal relationship between us and others are more qualified and have a meaning, namely:

* Recognizing that every human being endowed with the uniqueness of different, depending on the vocation of each
* Respect for the inherent uniqueness of others and appreciate the uniqueness, talent and potential that God bestowed on us.
* Be empathetic to other people and see problems and challenges of life to be lived.
* Seeing the advantages others in the broad context, linked with the history of life in the past and the journey The journey of life that will in the future, and assigned responsibilities. By looking at large, we avoid the attitude of envy and jealousy to see the advantages of others.
* Not just from looking at other people's physical appearance, but on the quality of his (heart, honesty, ability, expertise, quality work, achievement, wisdom, etc.)
* Give a sincere love for others, not pretending to receive a reply.
* Avoid want to master and control the behavior of others.
* Apply an attitude of mutual respect and tolerance in everyday life.
* Frequently introspection so that we do not have to look for deficiencies of others.
* Try to love others as you love yourself. People who hate themselves, it would be difficult to love his neighbor.

Hopefully this discussion, can be a drop of water can help treat dissatisfaction in others.

Interrogate Routines


Routines & Perseverance

Many people who are less like a routine. Origin rutinistas've heard the term, like-I think that comment will be ejected was sounding less tasty. The routine is identical with boredom, stagnation, anti-creativity, and others. In fact, judging by his physical, there is no difference between those who underwent a routine and people who pursue something.

Routine is, we do something together in the same way and continue to persist in the same time. How to pursue something? At first sight was the same. Pursue that means we do something repeatedly and in a period of time. Hence, the birth, there are people who go to work just to live rutunitas, but there is also possible to pursue a particular expertise.

If you are not physically different, then where lies the difference? There lies the difference in one's inner dynamics. Inner dynamics of what kind of difference? Inner dynamics that often becomes differentiator among others:

First, awareness of the deep. People who pursue something driven by the awareness that comes from within themselves (intrinsic initiative and motive). They realize that it is something to be done, that what he was doing was important to him. Whereas people who were undergoing routine generally encouraged by the "consciousness from outside," or initiative from external factors. Many external factors that shape, for example: coercion of people, the demands of the situation / work, obligations organizations, and others.

By feeling, something we do on the basis of the awareness of the it will make our inner being "flow" or flow, run as processes. Meanwhile, something we do on the basis of coercion from the outside that usually causes our inner being "force", have felt a pressing or often we understand as a stressor. Therefore, by calculation, people who pursue something that far away from the stressor than those who underwent routine.

Second, a dynamic target. People who pursue something that has a dynamic target. It means dynamic target is the target that is constantly upgraded or repaired (some more, learn more, and do more). People who pursue something had the urge to ascend to a higher competency level of consciousness itself. This is different from those who only underwent a routine. The target should he pursue a target that is created from outside himself.

As motivation, the person to his job had a higher motivation than those who only underwent a routine. Therefore, if you look at the concept of competence development, will we find the explanation that the stronger the motivation someone disumberkan on inisitaif, consciousness, or the intrinsic motive, means that the higher motivation. Conversely, the stronger a person's motivation is based on external pressure, the lower means.

High-low motivation associated with many things. If the working world context, motivation is related to how far a person to be creative, push as hard as anyone to find the information needed to handle the work, amounting to what one's attention to the work (the concern for oder), and others. These all affect work performance.

Third, solutions to problems that arise. People who pursue work that defines itself as a source solutions first and foremost for all the problems that arise (problem solver). She did need someone else as an aid, but does not rely on others. The key word here is the need and rely on. Mentally, we need a means of conscious as the main charge. We lift ourselves as "the cause". This is different to rely.

Rely on other people that we picked up as "gods" that determines our lives. Both science and religion and the practice of life, relying on other people, including a destructive mentality. When people have started to rely on, then the activation key that moment in her capacity in direct "off". Even if we are really capable of, but if you've got the mentality to rely, practice, certainly we will not be able to.

There's a little lesson from the life story of Mark Victor Hansen. That right glow author of The Chicken Soup for the Soul which has been translated into various languages in the world, including Indonesia. How the story of Mark in connection with our discussion of this? Before finally deciding to write the book, Mark has a unique life history. Starting a business in the construction field owned by his family at the age of 20 years. When he was 26 years, the business went bankrupt to make a living Mark total mess.

After a long life which he said is not clear, the encounter with an old friend there, his name is Jack Canfield, who now often become co-writer with her. From Jack is Mark had a chance to listen to the tape of the speech celebrated figures, his name is Robert Cavertt. What is interesting from the speech? The speech, entitled "Are you the cause or are you the effect" (whether you as a cause or as a result?) Really made him realize that all this time he was not the cause, but the effect (the effect). I was so fascinated with the contents of the speech, Mark play as much as 287 times.

In a 1994 interview cited by the magazine Entreprenur, Mark open talk that one dominant reason why 90% of mankind fails to realize the idea is because they realize as a result (the effect), not as the cause for himself. Washington Irvin said, 90% the cause of our failure was the proclamation itself (self-excusing) the same understanding by becoming a "consequence".

Since Mark realized that in this world there are still many people who do not feel themselves as the cause, then with Jack Canfield, Mark wrote the book that glow. Even this does not directly make Mark changed his fate. It is said that before the books are hailed as leading the list, best seller, the rejection of 33 publishers had experienced. Even in the expo's books, more than 134 visitors say NO!. Until there is a small publisher willing to print his book and from where he started

I think there are many examples around us that can take the lessons. Indeed we must be fair that we would think as a "cause" or as "a result", our fate will not immediately change. No change in the fate that was created from the mind. Only, to change the fate of the contents and models of thinking needed changing. Changes in thinking will change the attitude, the attitude will change the conduct or behavior, attitudes would change the outcome.



Mental Barriers

When it comes to nature, means that all the work that we can treat as a mere routine or can we make as a farm to train keahlin (diligence). This is what becomes the determining is our thoughts, our mind, our conclusions or our choice.

However, in practice it is not as simple as we discussed here. From conversations with several people who feel just undergone a routine work, there's always a justification (justifier) which can be blamed as the cause. This example there are people to conclude he was not / has not got a job or profession in accordance (with the education, competence, experience, etc.).

The difficulty of getting a job, the more suitable employment, has become the reason of the most tender to accept a job as a routine. In addition to these reasons, the issue of salary, rewards, bonuses, and various financial incentives are also often used as an excuse. Indeed when you say the conditions in the field, not many in our company who are willing and able to provide salaries and incentives in accordance with the "normal expectation" of workers. From this state then dimunculkanlah a conclusion to treat the work as a regular routine.

There are still many external reasons that make it worth it to us pointing as the cause of why we only see as a routine job. Questions that may need us come up with is, is it true that this condition can not be changed? Is not the effect will also be returned to us as well?

Principle, as we have seen in advance, this can be changed, depending on our choice. Although we can not change the external circumstances that directly and immediately, but we can alter our internal state directly and immediately. And again, both theory and practice, not the external circumstances were not as decisive us? Is not the external circumstances that in fact only offers and supports us?

Say we are today was to get a job that did not fit with the desires and expectations. At the same time we also have tried to appropriate another job but to no avail. When it comes to the theory and practice, this situation can we accusations as a cause to undergo a routine job and we could also use as an opportunity to pursue skills (managerial, technical and professional), which later we need.

So, essentially re also on the choices we've created.

Therefore, in the scientific literature, routine and persistence is related to three things. These are:

* The dynamics of a stagnant mind
* Exploration of self-less
* Flexibility is low.

When we did not get sober to have clear objectives and clearly we strive for, not consciously to have a target that really challenge or motivate, not immediately aware of to run self-development agenda, almost certainly thought we would stagnate. When it stalled, rutinitaslah who became his target.

So also with self-exploration. In all jobs, whether we think is appropriate or not, that there must be certain parts of the match with something that needed to be short term or long term. This proves that the capacity within us is relative, depending on the empowerment and exploration that we do.

All human beings are given the ability that allows him the flexibility to adapt to their environment. The question is whether we will use it or we leave. If we use it, so in any situation or condition will still be a gap to pursue something. Indeed there must be an easy practice and there must be a difficult.



Some Solutions

Is there a solution? So far the solution is defined as the process we need to do, of course there is. But if it is interpreted as the result of which at the same time, we may be hard to find. Almost all human problems, the solution is more often associated with learning. Learning here is a process of change themselves (thoughts, feelings, actions) for improvement, based on practice.

Well, this related to our discussion, we can do process that include physical penyiasatan. This can be done in various ways and forms. For instance: create a new atmosphere in the workplace, moving to another place, move to another location, and others. Insofar as we can do, and the results were "OK", why not? By creating a new atmosphere, we feel there is something new: new feelings, new thoughts, new spirit, and others. This is so that we do not feel as "routine machine." Lots of little things we can do to create a new atmosphere, new feelings, or new thinking in place of the old.

But it should be noted, sophisticated as any we do physically penyiasatan it, will someday face the same problem. We do this if only purely physical penyiasatan. Say we move the work elsewhere. If our mind is not dynamic, over time we will feel as routine engine. Therefore we need a second penyiasatan. What is it?

There should be an inner penyiasatan. This means we begin to change the contents of mind about the routine, began to change the attitude and treatment. Henceforth, we begin to change the agenda, change target, change targets, change focus, and others. This inner Penyiasatan we can do in a place now or in the new place. We make existing jobs as a farm to pursue something we think is important for the next step. This can be shaped, for example, managerial skills, mental skills, or technical expertise. In all the jobs that exist in this world it must contain three things.

As we've discussed here, principally, all the problems we face in the workplace that offers two options for finding a solution. First is Hobbo (Hang out-but-building-option). That is, we still lead the profession / job there, but trying to develop more options for inner mendinamiskan. For example: to find new gaps, pursue new skills, expand networking, find other activities that support, play a better role, and others. So, who migrated only our inner.

Both are Sobbo (Stay-out-but-better-off). This is our total migration. We leave to another place, occupation / profession other in inner and outer. But it should be conditional on the existence of hope or commitment to realize a better life career, not migrate or migrate only the origin emigrated to avoid the problems that are instantaneous (reactive).

Why? Because, whether we choose Sobbo though, still plays a vital inner dynamics. Millions of cases to prove there are people who have changed jobs / professions many times but ends podo Wae, alias back to the original. Why? Because the dihijrahkan just physical. Meanwhile, his mindset, the mental attitude, his habits, and his skill did not come dihijrahkan. Hopefully useful.

Gratitude Scale

Ramadan Moment should even this time we can use as a vehicle to enhance our gratitude to the profession or pekerajaan. By increasing gratitude, then our love will increase. Mozart in his experience, his mother's love is what is genius. Even if we had a few technical expertise in our field, but if the love is gone, maybe genius is not displayed.


Why gratitude that becomes an important success-factor in the work, try or profession? If the view of the meaning of language, philosophy of gratitude that contains a very good life. Meaning of gratitude is shady. We're grateful for the same job as a nice shade tree used as a shelter. Meaning of gratitude is the parasite. Work which we are grateful to our step despite mendinamiskan we're in a place which is not ideal, as parasites that can still grow despite the tree trunk. Meaning of gratitude is praised for his kindness we receive. Work we are grateful for supposing the same as objects that we so greatly value because we believe it is a gift.


If you look at religion, profession or occupation grateful that we can do from the start that low-scale or easy, medium, and reached the highest. Low gratitude are the various forms of gratitude that we express with verbal / speech. For example we express gratitude to God for the profession or occupation in which we live today.


Taught religious people express gratitude to God. Logically how? We are commanded to recognize that the right to be commended for the success or our goodness is not our job or profession, but of God. With the permission of God we finally get a good or achievement. Without goodness, our efforts may not be this good. This is at once an affirmation that we are forbidden to think that all the achievements that we have had absolutely no involvement with their Lord.


While mid-level gratitude is gratitude that we express with words and hearts. Shape, among others, we concluded in our hearts that this day has been a lot of goodness or God's blessings we have received. People who give thanks with grateful hearts can sometimes bad things happen to him, such as businesses affected by layoffs or bankruptcy. Of course that is not grateful for his dismissal, but a mind that is capable of creating conditions grateful or able to release positive energy in responding to negative events by us. This example by believing that if without the goodness of God, maybe that happens could be worse, or believes there is good behind the bad things that we see. Could also be included here the ability to see blessing (benediction) behind Disguise (catastrophe).

Last is celebrating with a greeting, heart, and action. How grateful to the action?


Grateful for the actions that the key is in our ability to use existing potential within us or resource that exists around us, to repair themselves to a higher level, in ways which are not violated. His opponent is Kufr (denial and neglecting). We allow potential and existing resources. We use it in a way that violates or for negative purposes. Or we deny the existence of resources and potential.


In essence, grateful for a job or profession that is programmed in seeing the job outlook and use it for purposes of a more positive and in a positive way. We looked at work today as an asset (not a burden or routines) that we use as repair facilities themselves, such as improving the skills, explore their potential, improve the network, improving performance, and so on.

but love is what makes you successful "

From Job Security to the Security Career

According to the survey, for example, has ever done Sirota Survey Intelligence, New York (2000-2004), one might say that all the people for the first time can be grateful for a job or profession. Minimum, with the word oral. We express gratitude to God for our success is received in an agency or employment. Surveys show that almost all people have the "engagement" are very good when she first worked.


But, over time, our gratitude in danger. We start creating a negative opinion towards work, towards the office atmosphere, to the superiors in the office, or on the problematic in the office. Not to mention plus the negative whispers from people around us through gossip, competition, and back-biting. According to the survey, the "engagement" we began to deteriorate after six months of work.


If in those days there was no cleansing the soul that we do, whether by way of their own or facilitated by the office, then we will be very potential to be a "passive-destroyers." We become people who damage our souls. For example we have chosen to protest unfair workload, is not the workload makes it as a learning tool to improve themselves. Or we terkuasi by the lust of dissatisfaction, not using dissatisfaction for repairs. If this is not done immediately purge the soul, then we will be very potential to become people who "active destroyers". We invite or persuade others to think just like us.

"How could I be grateful for my job: not ideal conditions, field-links do not match, the people in office have started there is cut throat competition, promotion has been played by favouritsm, salaries do not rise-up, wherever the job is always to use the system contract? " And so on and so forth.


If you see the "theory" of God, turned out to be grateful it is to deal with the internal solution or an ideal situation which is not ideal at all. Internal solution is important. According to the law of attraction (the law of attraction) that works magic in this world, before we get the external solution, we must create an internal solution first. That is, although we are currently in the middle of the work environment which we think is not at all ideal, but if we succeed in creating conditions grateful mind, then we will certainly get a job or profession that we think is ideal or ideal according to our circumstances. Kesyukurannya not necessarily limited to verbal forms, but using the job today as a resource or asset for self-improvement in a way that does not violate. Use of work to improve technical competence, mental competence, expand networking, explore products, deepen procedures, and so on.


This is different to when we are not grateful. Although we are already in place the ideal, can-can condition our inner bad will drag us into a place which is not ideal. For example we believe is right a career in the profession that we're in.. If we do not use the opportunities that exist for self-improvement, over time we changed the position of an asset to the company's expense. If we violate, would not want the company will issue a policy of expulsion or dismissal.


Thus, gratitude is the cause (the cause) to obtain solutions. Gratitude is the way (the way) to reach their goals. Borrowing a term in career development, if we are thankful, the positions of our careers will be changed from that originally keamananya depends on the job (job security) to depend on the skills / competencies (career security), along with the increasing capabilities and our role.

"Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there."

Responsive Work That Starts Where?

Where do we begin to appreciate your job or profession? To us who have not received an answer, we need to audit our love is a level of job or profession. Referring to the opinion of Al-Ghazali, Sufism figure, author of "The Alchemy of Happiness" (1883), we love the job or profession that can be grouped into four levels are:

* Lower level is when we love on the job / profession because of the extent we can meet the interests of (unilateral), for example, to the extent that we get paid, status, place, and so on.
* The next level is when we love on the job / profession because there are reciprocal contributions (transactional). This is much like his love for a trader to the purchaser. So far there is love there is a mutually beneficial transaction.
* Level on it is when his love we are bound by the same vision with the people there. We love the profession / job because there are figures, climate, or culture that we think is a good company or a similar vision.
* The top level is when we love on the job / profession is bound by a commitment to beraktualisasi inner-self, we do good because good is good for us and create the world, aka we continue to develop themselves regardless of external circumstances that occurred in the profession or occupation us. If this is realized to run the commands of God, our love will continue Perfected.



In practice, we must make a distinction difficulties in black and white in the top four levels of love. The human mind is complex and dynamic. Leveling love above will be a very fitting that we use as an abstraction that show (self improvement guide). That is, to be grateful for a profession / job should begin efforts to raise the level of our love into the fourth. If not all of them, yes partly. If you can not apply to all circumstances, minimum for a particular situation.


Certainly not enough to just change jobs grateful inner order. There should be specific to the real agenda we run. Important agenda is to be more (raise standards of achievement, increase the ability of a role, raising the target and your goals. Why? If our inner stagnate (satisfied with what they are), will be easily overcome by negative virus, the same as the fate of water does not flow.


Naturally raise standards of achievement are not enough. Should we continue with Learn more (increase and tambahlan expertise, networks, and moral obedience). Learn more we can do themselves or through the assistance of others and the organization. Logically, where maybe we can achieve performance standards that if we had resources and tools-that's all. Stephen Covey said, you will not get different results if you just how and expertise.


Finally, as the actualization, we need to formulate what we can do to improve yourself, Do more (a larger role, working harder, working smarter). In essence, grateful for a job or profession is the key word is, how far we mendinamiskan memprogresifkan inner and our steps and coupled with the awareness that it's all we do to fulfill orders or to search for On Top of His keridloan. Hopefully useful.

Being the Other Person Likes People


Learning From Case

Important fact is not it a lot of people liked it? The answer could be crucial and could not. It depends on the circumstances, reasons, and context. But, in general, dasariyah human instinct that has a tendency to want to groove. The proof, people will feel happy if he liked a lot of people. Conversely, people will feel uneasy or (minimum) is less happy when the hated or less favored.

The question is, how do we make of those people who disengani others? In theory we did not find the standard technique for that. From the practice of life, there are clues that we can catch. One is, that humans tend to like the character or behavior is less extreme (too much on the edge or too) for things that are options / can be chosen. But this is not all as well. If you look at some common cases, behaviors or properties that have the potential to invite disapproval among others:

First, it is too quiet or too noisy. Ideally, we provide the opportunity for others to talk about himself, about his knowledge or about his experience. In addition, we also need to provide the opportunity to listen. So what happens is a dialogue for mutual give-receive or place a warm conversation. Dialogue can be fun to invite warmth or a pleasant impression.

But if we're just a listener who is too quiet, passive, even more so less enthusiastic to provide feedback to others, this potentially invite disapproval. Conversely, too. If we are to dominate the conversation, we reveal ourselves at length, especially coupled with the attitude that less show respect when other people express themselves, even this potentially invite disapproval.

So, too quiet that's not good, but too crowded not very good also. Too good not passive, but active also not too good. Too quiet to make other people boring, but too busy to make others feel uncomfortable. According to the theory of the relationship, too quiet or too passive it is usually done by some people who abdicraft. His opponent is autocraft, too active, too want to dominate, and so on. That is suggested to be a democratic people: do not impose a private will, too passive and not too cold. Too crowded often given the nickname "omdo" (way doang) or big-mouth (the big mouth). Conversely, too much silence is often given the nickname "the statue", imitators, and others.

Second, too much or too ignorant to intervene. Ideally, what is needed is to give attention to (care) or share the feeling (sharing) in times of need (empathy). This much attention. Could be in the form of feelings, attitudes or actions. People will feel more respected when he knows we put empathy. Empathy is the caring that we express in various forms. In the concept of self-development, including pillar empathy in improving interpersonal skills. Interpersonal skill is the ability of a person in opening, maintaining, and empowering relationships (with others). The characteristics of people who have good capabilities in this regard, among others:

- Empathy: can share and care about others

- Support the development of others (developing others)

- Communicate effectively

- Can listen to others

- Have a high commitment to obey a promise or agreement

- It could respect others

- Can see the positive and negative sides objectively

If the pleasure of inviting empathy, it interfering too much into the territories of other people's private affairs are often considered to potentially invite disapproval. The more so if the intervention was assessed instead added to the problem (not solve / reduce the problem) or make people feel less comfortable. There are still certain areas which we are expected to intervene. But it usually stays there a limit / barrier has been installed a red light that means is: do not be too much to go inside. It is rarely spoken.

So also was too ignorant, too ignorant or too indifferent. More often, too blase as bad with too much to interfere. If we see the theory of human relationships, it interfering too often practiced by most people who oversocial. Conversely, it is usually too ignorant done by some people who undersocial. Both are over or under, they are often considered less good. That is suggested to be inclusive: not too cool and not too much to interfere.

Third, too closed or too open. Ideally, we need to create self-explanation about the things that need to be explained and need not explain the things that are not necessary. What's necessary and what's so unnecessary? Even this is difficult to explain. Generally, the necessary and unnecessary it can only be understood by feeling.

In scientific literature the term known as self-disclosure, self-disclosure is intended to enhance the meaning / quality relationships. Self-disclosure is different from the self-description (self-explanation). The most fundamental difference is, self-disclosure was a form of self-disclosure about significant things for themselves and for others (really important to build relationships).

Self-diclosure This would not only invite the pleasure and intimacy, but instead could invite confidence (trust). In Psychology & Life (1979) stated that trust starts from self-diclosure. So, usually, from the disclosure was born familiarity and confidence born of familiarity. But, he says, self-disclosure here is not limited to the oral statement (verbal statement of self-diclosure), but a series of actions that can explain who we are. If what we say it's different from what we do, this might even invite disapproval and distrust.

However, too open to also invite disapproval. Okay, tell others or shown to others so that could be interpreted as showing off. Not only that, too open too often becomes a weakness. To build familiarity, too open to it often as bad as too closed. Too close very often interpreted as an attempt to keep a distance, like oil and water. If this applies to people who only know of course fine, but when applied to people who have a longstanding relationship, this is usually less powerful to build intimacy.

Three points above it's new general cases which have dependence on a very specific context. It means can not dijeneralisasi. For example, there are people who ask forgiveness fussy. For people who already know and understand, of course no problem. But for new situations and new people, could have different results.

In practice, fondness and dislike the man more often associated with the issue of understanding and interrelatedness-understanding (mutual understanding). Therefore, many people who hate others because of misunderstanding, lack of understanding, or do not understand each other. So are many people who loved someone else because they understand each other.

PRINCIPLES & THEORY liking and disliking

In the theory of science, we can find a lot of explanation about liking (love) and disliking (dislike). By seeing this, hopefully we can use to understand reality and we can also use to fix it. Some of the many theories of knowledge which speaks like and dislike about this among others:

Physical Attractiviness theory. Intuitively, one would prefer other people interesting in terms of physical appearance. This example only: beautiful, handsome, clean, neat, orderly, and so on and so forth. People who looked at least neat though sometimes it does not like people who do not neatly. Smokers themselves often do not like the other smokers who carelessly smoking.

Competency theory: People tend to prefer someone more competent, have a lot of toxicity, more creative, more skilled, more smart, and so on and so forth. Even on business, people like / trust others because they saw their competence ketimbangan brother, son or best friend.

Reciprocal theory. People tend to like people who like it (no return). Like attracts like, so he said. But this is still the record that the joy we showed it to be genuine, not contrived or just to find the face. If that far-fetched or just to find the face, usually even cause discomfort.

Similiarity & Complementary theory. People tend to like people who have some semblance / similarity with himself. This example alone: one local, one's alma mater, one party, one hobby, one vision, one thought, one feeling, and so on and so forth. But he said, the similarities and the similarity was not able to produce a lasting pleasure, if not supported by other elements to be reinforced. Therefore it must be complementary: complementary, mutual support, mutual giving-getting, and so on. If it does not appear complementary, so by itself it similiarity they just past.

Exchange theory. People will think much of anyone else who gives a profit, plus the value, or benefit to him. Minimum no disadvantage. Problem was in the form of material or non-material, it's a matter of context. Principally, there is no human being can accept the loss of the interaction process is executed.

Reinforcement theory. People will think much of anyone else who respects himself. This not only specifically addressed to the person who gave the award, but also to the person close to the giver. Give an award may include other forms of positive feelings.

Gain-loss theory. According to this theory, we would like others that the evaluation, correction, or the support given to us tend to always be improving, not deteriorating or mediocre. Conversely, too. We are more likely to be not happy with someone else instead of the longer the better valuations, attitudes or treatment.

If the above we have seen cases of the general with a specific context, well below let's look at the basic values that will definitely generate hatred or pleasure. These basic values apply universally, not seeing people, circumstances, contexts, places, and not dependent on external attributes (eg religion, ethnicity, education, or social status).

What are the basic values? certainly most of it we already know. Not required by our knowledge, but realize it in practice alive. This example only:

- Takabbur: lift yourself by the motif (secretly or openly) to denigrate other people

- Envy-envy (envy): glad to see other people hard and hard to see other people happy; want favors others moved to him, wanting favors others missing, etc.

- Lack of keeping commitments / agreements: break a promise, lie, cheat, and so on

If we see the psychology literature, we find also the term personality disorder, which potentially invite disapproval peculiarity of others if it exceeded the proportional limit. This example only:

Too same-suspicious of others, can not forgive others (especially the small ones), easy enemies, loves to criticize everything

- Displays the aura of pessimism, self-lock, do not care about criticism or praise

- Enjoys strange story (no sense), rather strange-looking (outside to stage art), likes to have excessive fears of the condition

Temparemen-high, reckless (lose control), did not care responsibilities, often makes the action that endangers others

Mood-unstable (easy to love and easy to hate), is too large depends on others, or too easily offended

- Easily influenced, wishy-washy, ngomongnya ngacau everywhere

-Arogan, have excessive desire to be respected, irritable, hard to understand other people's positions

- Too insecure, less willing to take risks, just want maximum flexibility but the risk is not, is rarely out of or little interaction with the crowd

- Too quiet for fear of hate, happiness hung himself on others, often feel no one else in this world

Too idealistic, too rigid to practice the knowledge, tradition, or religious understanding (memedomani "truth-own" excessive), stubborn

That all are examples that we can make reference in their interaction. Indeed not all of them can invite disapproval, but the minimum can inhibit intimacy.

Some Notes

Regardless of whether we consider the question of "groove" and "less favored" the affairs of this important or not, but there are some points that we need to make personal notes. These include:

-Need to think realistically based on common sense. This means that there can be no person who loved by everyone or hated by all. The basic principle is the most, a small, generally, the majority, and others.

-Do not make it a destination. If we want to do something or show certain properties, but our purpose is only to favored people, usually we can be quite the opposite. So how? Ideally is, we do positive things, positive personality, positive attitude, etc., but that's all we live as a process of self-actualization (self-improvement). Point. Problem people like it or not, this is their business.

-Not enough to stop only at the level of "groove". If it is returned to the business of self-development (self-development), the most important thing is to be trusted to others. That to be true, it must first groove, it was more often true.

-Do not make it as a wrap or a mere trick to deceive or fool (someone else and yourself). For example we behave "pretentious" clean, polite, passion, intellect, are guy, and others, but it's all based on the motive to launch a business that harm others. Ideally, we need to make it as a character or nature, not as merely an expression of personality is conditioned by the interests for a moment. It is sometimes difficult to avoid. However, we remain well beracuan on the character or nature.

-Keep starting from within ourselves first. Others want to groove but less happy with other people, it's difficult. Want to wake up with a good relationship, but we (in practice) to do things that damage, it is also difficult.

Hopefully useful.

How To Use Feelings


Middle Road

What science has to offer by bringing up the term assertive in communication is actually a middle ground. Middle way here is the most appropriate way, most smaller negative, or at least close to the effectiveness and efficiency in communication. Much evidence suggests that communicating assertively to improve productivity, harmony, and far from the conflict that is triggered by trivial things.


As we all know, a common understanding of asertivitas it is a person's ability to express what she feels in ways that are polite, be accepted by the universal human instinct (considering the position of others), and by selecting a sentence, argument, or reason. In some literature, communication is often described that it is asertivitas person's ability to express opinions, feelings, attitudes and rights in a way that convinces without violating the rights of others (Self-assertion for Women, Pamela Butler, 1981, etc.)


For example we received a sms to attend the launching ceremony of his book that dipanitia own comrades. With just a quick read, we already know for sure that we can not come to a very specific reason. We then respond by apologizing and thanks for the invitation. To be more assertive again, we added a sentence, please, next time I notified a day or two days earlier so he could manage time. This is probably just a common example.


The opposite of assertiveness (extreme right) is ignored what we feel about other people (non-assertive passive). Many of the seeds of conflict that eventually turned into a big koflik out of control because the feeling ignored. To borrow the phrase Hawk Williams (1996), suppress feelings (especially negative about another person), especially the potential to make us lose a healthy perspective on the man. The purpose of a healthy perspective here is that we can no longer see the positive side of all the negative side we versican about that person. We have concluded unanimously that John Doe was indeed ugly. In fact, it's possible he's still got the good.


Say in our house there was a worker, whether it's a driver or helper (read: domestic workers) or other. According to us, he had been frequently made mistakes, but we just kept hoping he was aware of its own without direct him not to say it or make mistakes. If this continues to happen, so maybe we'll lose perspective. In fact, if we want to express our feelings assertively, this might not happen.


His opponent again (extreme left) is unable to suppress a feeling (non-assertive aggressive). Without a sense of sin we express what we feel about other people and we do not want to care whether our language is good in the recipient's feelings or not. The important thing for us is that we have to express what it is. To convince the recipient, we plead with honesty. "Honestly lho I say it!"


Well, in any scientific literature, whose name asertivitas was strongly associated with the term ability (the ABILITY); even in the management literature calls by the term competence. The point here is, someone to be assertive because there is a process improvement effort undertaken or are there ways to improve his communication. This differs with his opponent's two (extreme right and left). No one calls this capability. Both are often referred to as the "attitude".


Indeed, to become assertive in demonstrating that feeling there is no easy way. In the sense that once there was a direct desire materialize into reality. People who classmate Tony Blair have admitted this. As quoted in a number of sites of motivation, he said Tony Blair had said this: "The difficult part is to say" No "



Ability in partnering with

others are "commodities" that are expensive.

(John D Rockefeller)


Measure Level Asertivitas

As I alluded to earlier, it had the capability asertivitas. His name is also the ability, of course is related to how far we have been improving that ability. Just as a personal reference, we can make the directions below as a guide to self improvement.


Asertivitas we are still low when the way we communicate is still dominated by the following general characteristics:

* We often choose silence for fear of hate others, fear of misunderstanding, or fear of the person offended, or resentful.
* We are more often choosing to express what it is from what we feel about other people without thinking about language, expressions, and feelings of others (hit kromo)
* We often use language that is normative or explanation (too polite) so that the point where, why and addressed to siapanya unclear. The more so if we add more with the statement that Ngalor ngidul.


To level the already asertivitas medium, the directions that we can make the guidelines include:

Obstacles & Solutions

Normally, everyone would crave an assertive way of communicating. But to realize it needed the ability to know and overcome several obstacles, both internal or external. General, of all barriers that include:


First, defeated by the stereotypes that we create for themselves or by others. If we've concluded this is my style as a woman or a man, as someone born in Batak, Javanese, or Madura, almost certainly we fail to improve, although we really can afford. According to the experience of many people, which rational way to beat the stereotype is to bring encouragement to change and find a model of people who were ever a stereotype like us. If we conclude this long because the woman's we who make us often harbored feelings, we can find another woman who can express their feelings assertively.


Second, lazy thinking, does he want a shortcut, and semisalnya, so we failed to find language, expression, or a nice style acceptable to others. For those who did not used to express feelings assertively, the exercise is to create a mental scenario coupled with a reference to another person. For example we have to imagine what we say to deal with the A when this, this and this. If we do not have a stance, we can imitate other people. This indeed does not guarantee success, but as an exercise, it is required.


Third, defeated by the opinions, conceptions, and negative perceptions of our own making. A father who has created many negative opinions about her son who named the A, for example naughty just remember, remember the drop in value, remember pembangkangannya course, almost certainly difficult to communicate assertively. Which will appear sooner is a phrase or a style that is triggered by a sense of disappointment and anger. Of note Dr. Dilip Abayasekara, Ph.D., asertivitas was strongly associated with attitude and our assessment. "If you respect, honor and love something, you easily become assertive about something that", he wrote.


Fourth, keminderan or low sense of responsibility. Keminderan stems from fear (fear), a sense of lack (lack), and a sense of blank (empty). Fear can make us harbored feelings for too long or too fast blow feelings. If we are often quick "nyolot", does not mean it is the courage that drives us, but more often an uncontrollable fear.


In other words, to increase asertivitas, which required not merely memorize the tip to communicate, but rather on the improvement of the soul. The more "confident" of our souls, the more assertive way of our communication. The soul could be improved "confident" equip them with data, facts, experience, commitment, or knowledge in that field. For example, we do not agree with the opinions of people a lot about an affair. So far we have an intimate knowledge of that area, we fear we must decrease or remain confident with our stance. Elimination of fear and increased self-confidence can make your chest wider.


Fifth, the faster the bait or manipulated by the situation. This we can see on the highway. Tersenggol people just a little, want to fight directly. Even a bride who drove a luxury to be wed only once because the car can fight blisters. This can happen because we are easily carried by emotions and situations that place. Indeed, recognized or not, where and when it affects someone asertivitas. So we do not quickly rise to the bait, the way that is needed is self control and direct mouth squabbles with the agreement, decision or settlement.
