Best and Worst Brain Foods

If you want to make the right decisions in confusing times—Time to refinance? Explore a different career? Root for the singing spinster or the 12-year-old?—you need to pay special attention to what you eat. That’s right: Your grocery list can help with your to-do list. That’s because the right foods are a kind of clean-burning fuel for your body’s biggest energy hog: Your brain. A study in the Journal of Physiology makes the point that, though your brain represents only 2 percent of your body weight, it makes 20 percent of the energy demands on your resting metabolism.

On our new Eat This, Not That! Web site, we rounded up the best foods to munch on when you need a mental boost—and found studies that show, in fact, that you can be up to 200 percent more productive if you make the right eating choices. Stock up on these items to halt mental decline, jog your memory, sharpen your senses, improve your performance, activate your feel-good hormones, and protect your quick-witted sharpness, whether you’re 15, 40—or not admitting to any age whatsoever!

FOR SHORT-TERM MEMORY
Drink This!: COFFEE

Fresh-brewed joe is the ultimate brain fuel. Caffeine has been shown to retard the aging process and enhance short-term memory performance. In one study, British researchers found that just one cup of coffee helps improve attention and problem-solving skills.

Not That!: ENERGY DRINKS/TOO MUCH COFFEE

Ever heard of the concept “too much of a good thing”? If you OD on caffeine—too many cups, a jolt of caf from the late afternoon onward, a Red Bull cocktail—it can mess with your shuteye schedule. Sleep is reboot time for your mental computer, and you don’t want to mess with it.

FOR LONG-TERM MEMORY
Eat This!: BLUEBERRIES

Antioxidants in blueberries help protect the brain from free-radical damage and cut your risk of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases...click here to read more :

3 Steps To Unfailing Riches

Step 1 : Never make a negative statement about finances, such as "I can't pay the rent," "I can't make ends meet," "Business is very bad," "I can't pay my bills," and so on. As soon as negative thought, "I can't..." comes to mind, affirm instead: "I am one with the Infinite storehouse within me, and all my needs are met instantaneously." It may be necessary to do this fifty times in one hour, but persist and the negative thought will cease to trouble you.

Step 2: Make it a habit during the course of the day to condition your mind to the riches of the infinite by affirming: " God is an ever present help in time of trouble," and, "God is the instant and immediate source of my supply, presenting me with all the ideas necessary at every moment of time and point of space."

Step 3: Lull yourself to sleep every night by reiterating this great truth: "I am ever grateful for God's riches that are ever active, ever present, unchanging and eternal."

Communication Responsibility

More often, my boss and I argue about the reports I'm presenting. He keeps on telling me that they want it presented in different way or use such and such methodology. As a result, most of the reports have to be done again the way they want. What a waste of time! A part of me is telling me to defend myself and say that it's what you told me to do. I'm just coming from your words. I'm doing the reports the way you explain it. In my mind, my boss do not know how to explain and have the nerve to get angry. I'm expecting him to communicate with me effectively.

Since he is the one giving the instructions, should he be the one responsible for effective communication?

What is effective communication? or What is good communication?

Ah! From now on I will take 100% responsibility for two things when I'm communicating...

1. I will take responsibility for understanding what the person I'm talking with is saying and what he/she means by what he/she is saying.
2. I will take responsibility for ensuring that the person I'm talking with understands what I am saying.

In observation, when I employed these two things in communicating with my boss, we had no or less argument and less re-do of the reports.

Since I find it effective, I'm using them in my everyday conversation.

Knowledge of the Self: Our Intelligences

When I was young, I was thought of only One Intelligence--The IQ or the Intelligence Quotient. The IQ has something to do with academic. Those relating to aptitude test.

Then some years later, I heard of EQ or the Emotional Intelligence Quotient as being popularized by Daniel Goleman. The EQ has something to do with our emotions. They say this is better than IQ. Most of those with high IQ fail in life because they can not handle or manage life's challenges and adversities. So, it is better to nurture EQ than IQ. But don't forget to develop your mind.

EQ ...

• Self Awareness
• Management of Self and emotions
  

Along the way, I encountered the eight intelligences of Multiple Intelligences by Howard Gardner.

Gardner theorizes the ff.:
1. Spatial Intelligence (picture smart)
2. Interpersonal Intelligence (people smart)
3. Intrapersonal Intelligence (self smart)
4. Linguistic Intelligence (word smart)
5. Logical-Mathematical Intelligence (number/reasoning smart)
6. Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence (body smart)
7. Naturalist Intelligence (nature smart)
8. Musical Intelligence (music smart)


Then, Covey educates the people about the "To live, to learn, to love and to leave a legacy" wisdom which basically speaks of Physical Intelligence, Mental Intelligence, Emotional Intelligence and Spiritual Intelligence.

Physical Intelligence ("To Live") is explained or associated with

• Physical Health or Well-Being and
• Financial Health - One's Economic Conditions

Mental Intelligence ("To Learn") is with

• Learnings
• Mind Development
  

Emotional Intelligence ("To Love") is with

• Love of Self
• Love of Others

Spiritual Intelligence (To Leave a Legacy) is with

• Depth in character - Who we are as a person
• Faith - Our Love and Faith in God
• Our Legacy - How we want to be looked or perceived by others when we pass away
  

Then, the latest I heard of is the Social Intelligence presented again by Daniel Goleman.

Social Intelligence - being able to perceive what is happening around.


This is great! We have many intelligences! And, I think there's many more to be discovered.
