Meaning of Lost

2011-12-07T17:41:00.000+07:00

Losing is part of human nature that can make a difference in our lives. Meaning can be lost or forged grief and suffering for the quality of fortitude and readiness self. Sense of loss is part of a sense of belonging because of attachment to something or someone. Shows a sense of loss that is not fully intact, feels less without the presence of something or someone. In everyday life, we often come into contact with a sense of loss. Will lose the object, spirit, feelings, self-esteem and mood, loss figure of a person, loss of opportunity or chance of even the fear of losing.
Loss ever experienced by anyone, regardless of differences of things missing, a reaction to the loss, how to respond, cope with and interpret the loss, as well as impacts. Losing a valuable object could mean catastrophe for some, and lose one's figure could mean pain for us. On top of that, losing something or someone can lead to loss of hope and awareness of the conscience (conscience), so that the meaning of loss can alter one's perception of life. Not a few people that make up the meaning and perception of pain and loss as dissolved in it, to lose confidence and meaningfulness of life. Why we feel lost?
Loss grows in the minds and our feelings because of the following meanings, which we often realize after the loss occurred.First, we feel lost because of something or someone who lost a very valuable and meaningful to us. We often find it too late to realize or even realize how precious something and how much it meant someone for us after all was lost, so we feel lost and feel the sense of loss as a deficiency, void, or emptiness without the presence of the lost.Secondly, we feel lost because we realize that we need the missing. The intensity of togetherness and closeness makes us feel familiar and ordinary. However, when the familiar and ordinary that no, we feel something is missing and missing from the habit and familiarity. This shows that we need his presence, existence, role, function and kebermanfaatannya for us, so that the sense of need that could develop into a lost hope.Third, we feel lost because we feel love and affection that was missing. However valuable things for others, and however it meant a person for others, nothing will make us feel lost when we do not love him and loved him or at least empathy that can make us feel lost. Loss of friends, friends, family or loved ones are lost because of our love to them. The depth of flavor can be confirmed within the meaning of loss and our hearts, so that losing it could impact the unusual and extraordinary for a person's life and heart.
Usually the initial reaction as indicated by the sad loss, crying, upset, angry or blame themselves for being a waste of the lost. This reaction can continue to make us late, went down and sank in the sense of losing it. When this is our reaction, then we may not lose the significance of and belief in self, life and Owner of Life. There are also people who can handle it by showing a reasonable reaction because he believed in the power of God. Meaning of loss for people like this is a test once a change in life, not grief alone. People like this is categorized as a learner of life, have the ability to see and understand the wisdom behind the problem, see the ease in trouble and makes a failure as a springboard to move forward.
This paper is a personal reflection. Which means it loses weight. It takes time, willingness and readiness of heart to be able to confront and overcome them. We do have to be ready to lose because we only perform the role of life, does not have anything even for ourselves.

Self identity and integrity

2011-12-07T17:36:00.000+07:00

It's commonly accepted now that 'being ourselves' is essential to personal happiness. It is also essential to success both in and outside work.

In this article, I outline five reasons why I believe it's more difficult to 'be yourself' than ever before. In a subsequent article, I will explain how we might increase our self identity and develop our own unique authenticity. Understanding the five factors will help us tackle the dilemma of 'why am I so miserable when I'm so economically comfortable'.

The reasons come down to a combination of the pressures of work, and the pressures in society, which undermine our own self identity. If we're not clear about our own identity, we lose the foundation for being truly authentic. Let's go then...

Reason 1: The Breakdown of work-life balance

Put simply, it is no longer clear for most working people where work stops and outside life begins. More than that, work is increasingly dominating the waking lives of most people, and even part time jobs look pretty full time. There are many reasons for this. Just some of them include the following.

Firstly, the globalisation of work, which necessitates having to talk out of office times with people who work in other countries in different time zones. Secondly, the increasing imperative under our economic system to cut costs, which often entails working increased hours – and for other people the opposite work-life issue of being laid off. Thirdly the development of technology, which means that you don't leave your job when you leave the office.

In addition to piling huge pressure on our personal lives, this means more of our own identity is connected with our work – after all, it's where we concentrate most of our time and efforts.

Reason 2: Loss of personal identity at work

In two crucial respects, our personal identities have been compromised by work developments in the past fifty years. First, we have witnessed the death of the job for life, or career for life. Given that much of our own identity has historically come from our job, this is not good news. You may remember your parents or grandparents describing themselves as 'I'm a plumber', 'I work for Ford', 'I'm a teacher in this or that school', or 'I'm a accountant'. Whatever it was, it was a key part of their personal identity, and we can't rely on this anymore. With the current recession, millions of financial service and public sector workers are discovering this truth.

The second way that our identities have been undermined is less obvious, and perhaps unintentional. Fifty years ago, you were paid to turn up to work, and do a day's effort. That was it. It didn't matter how you thought, or what you might say, unless you went totally over board! However, this has changed – people are now paid to think, and employers increasingly expect people to think in particular ways. Not only that, but moves by employers to adopt corporate values that all employees are expected to stick toraises the pressure on our personal identity. After all, if we put all our focus on corporate values, then we might lose sight of our own ones.

Reason 3: Fragmentation of family & community

In 1960, the family structure was clear. You were born into a family, and family units stuck together, usually within neighbourhoods that also stuck together. Your child friends became your friends for life, and you'd often end up working next to them. Not so nowadays. Families are split, parents often separated before youngsters grow up, family members move greater distances from each other, with fewer connections. Friends lose touch, often as people change employers.

These trends mean that, for many folks, identity can no longer arise from family or community the way it once did. No wonder there is an epidemic of people attempting to discover their family history – not to mention websites linking old friends together. These are reactions to loss of personal identity, at least partially.

Reason 4: The pressure to conform

The pressure to conform is clear in the workplace, as we've just seen. In addition, there are also increasing pressures in society to conform, starting with our teens. Fads and fashions plays to a natural need most of us have to 'fit in' with others. So we wear similar clothes, buy the same music, wear the same jewellery, as those with whom we want to fit. In addition, as the effect of advertising has become more nuanced, we fail to notice how it undermines our personal identity. Everything from our phone to our car, and even our friends, are all influenced by advertising.

As well as compromising our identity, advertising contributes to one more risk to retaining our own identity and authenticity.

Reason 5: The propaganda of instant happiness

Go on, show me an advert where it doesn't claim in some way that, if you buy the product, you'll be more contented (or less unhappy). We live in a society dominated by instant gratification, where getting it now is a prerequisite of happiness. Western capitalism has largely been constructed on the promise of more prosperity, wage rises, promotions, longer holidays, and the like. Our society is built on the assumption of 'when I get that, I'll be contented'. Whatever 'that' is. Then wepuzzle on why we aren't happy when we do get what we wanted.

Of course, it is clear that happiness does come from within. But no one made a fortune by accepting this truth, so our happiness is made conditional on achieving more things.

So there you are. Five reasons why we are increasingly losing touch with our own identity. Without a clear identity, we feel increasingly discontented. It should not be surprising to find that there are now more healers in the UK than there are medical practitioners. After all, why should we expect our bodies to be healthy when our spirits are so patently not?

The first step to health is to admit the problem, kinda like admitting 'I'm an alcoholic'. The second step is to understand some of the reasons why it happened, and I hope this article throws some light on this.

Punishment for Educating Children

2011-12-07T17:32:00.000+07:00

Punishment to children remains to be done in a way that educates, any senakal them. Delinquency is an integral part of the development of the child, especially during the first 7 years. Many parents who responded with naughty little inappropriate to express anger, physical punishment, even not a few who progress to physical violence. In fact, such forms of punishment that can interfere with emotional development of children, until not infrequently become increasingly naughty behavior or "the wild".
Kesalahnnya scold your child because it is reasonable, as long as parents do not utter harsh words and humbled to be attached as a negative memory until he grew up. Giving a punishment for naughtiness even as much as possible should be done in a way that educates and effective. That is, without corporal punishment continues to be much less physical violence.
Why is that? There are some fairly rational reasons. First, because childhood is a golden period for the child, the growth and development of physical, emotional, mental and intellectual, the play that could make him happy, a period that should be remembered as the happiest period of his life. Secondly, when someone is angry and could not control his anger and emotions, then it could continue to be rudeness and violence, whether physical or utterance, so it can be painful and lasting memory in the hearts and brains of children. Third, scolding is not enough without paying attention, exemplary attitude and behavior toward children. Every child needs immediate attention from oranng, especially his parents. Naughty behavior she could have done because they feel less of a concern or unnoticed.
Then how to provide penalties for educating your child? As parents, we need to remember and we understand that our aim is to give punishment to the child not to hurt him, but to discipline him. Discipline is not always synonymous with hard and rough, but in penerapnnya required consistency, either in punishment or in providing exemplary attitude, speech and behavior. Ideally, a punishment also should provide a deterrent effect for the little guy. However, in practice, we also have to be wise in understanding misbehavior or mistakes made by the child, so that we can customize the way and kind of punishment with the child's age. Giving out punishment to children aged under five would have to be distinguished with children over the age of 5-7 years, because normally, emotional and rational intelligence they continue to evolve in line accretion age.
In a study as reported by kompas.com, Dr. Paul Frick, one of the faculty of the University of New Orleans, USA concluded that there are three ways to provide effective penalties for the little guy. The third way that has been published in the Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology following more effective than physical punishment such as hitting.

   1. Silence or give them time alone to contemplate his mistake. After that, just encourage him talk and ask the reason why he did that
   2. Giving children extra chores according to ability and age. For children aged under 5 years this may not be applied saklek
   3. Do not allow your child to do his favorite activity for a while. For example, not allowed to play on the internet and watching his favorite television show during the week.
According to Dr. Paul Frick consistency is key in giving punishment to discipline children who use this type. Physical punishment was temporarily able to stop kenakalnnya, but the impact could be more at risk of mental factors and self confidence.
When we look at, physical punishment such as hitting it but also cause pain and stress can make children feel afraid of doing something wrong. In the long run, this could affect the mental development of the psychological. child can develop into doubting, fearful of the act or make decisions, not independent and are not confident or even more wild acting by developing his understanding that should be followed up with a violent rage. At the time of development, children imitate the sayings and deeds of many a parent or family. Therefore, the way we provide them is a form of punishment to the upbringing and education that should we look, we understand and we apply them wisely.
No matter how small they felt experiences in childhood and no matter how small we did to them in childhood will affect the future later. May be useful.

Yes natural remedies do really cure most sickness if you 1) look at the root problem and 2) find the reason why you are sick instead of treting symptoms! 3) have patience for the natural remedy to work. Because natural remedies do not work as medication, meds take away symptoms right away, but do not cure. Orthomolecular medicine cures you, but it lets the body do the cure by strengthening the immune system and completing the missing nutrients nessesary for good health.

Yes vitamins can take away not only your symptoms, but the root cause of the problem, and you can have your sickness completely healed! Yes one American out of two takes vitamins!

In fact Doctor Hoffer who has cured people with depression, schizofrenia and adhd for 50 years and who has treated thousands of people who cold go back to work, who could have a normal life again, and who could function perfectly again, just by balancing the brain with orthomolecular doses of vitamin, minerals and amino acids! Quite amazing stuff!

I kow for a fact because i had bipolar disorder for years! I could never get a full time job! I had to have meds everyday to function! Going to emergency rooms, and group therapy! Then i found the natural remedies. I read on Doctor Hoffer's page the testimonies of people who were completely unwell, extremely sick mentally! Who could not even go out of their house! And after a few month on what they were lacking in the brain, taking orthomolecular dosages of vitamins! Boom, they were well again!

I knew that was true! But my journey did not change right away, in fact i had to study more books and find out excactly what i was lacking in the brain and nutritionwise! I tried the 3 gms of vitamin B3 per day, divided in three doses as Doctor Hoffer mentions which works to get 50 percent of bipolars who become completely well after a few months of taking them!

Doctor Hoffer mentions that the longer you have been sick, the longer it gets for you to be well! Dr Hoffer even says that for some patients if took years of taking the vitamins everyday to get well!

Then i tried amino acids, i went to see a naturopath in Orlando, but that did not work. I went to Wichita Kansas, to see Dr Riordan but everytime i got one step closer to the answer! With more knowledge each time on the way to be completely healed! I tried empowerplus, which works quite amazing wonders for many people! But that was not it.

Then i heard of Kelp which regulates the thyroid, and that many people with depression who have a low working thyroid! Then i heard that vitamin C in orthomolecular dosages can also works amazingly! And that was it! I stayed on meds for months after that, then no more!

It has been two years and no more depression, no more bipolar! No more medications since 2 years!In fact i have a massage business in Paris france with 10 employees! http://www.themassagetube.com

Natural remedies can work for you too! Do your homework, find out the root cause of the problem! Do not stop your meds at once! And you can be well too! There is not a hundred percent chance of you getting well, but there is hope!

Stories for Children Benefit Personality

2011-12-07T17:26:00.000+07:00

Instinctively, every child (including me in childhood) happy with a story or fairy tale because of the growth of children are increasingly demanding the ability to speak their curiosity about many things in a way to tell. Telling stories or storytelling is a method of communication media as well as a tradition from generation to generation even though the role and function is now replaced by the show-television and computer games. In fact, telling stories or storytelling can build and develop the child's personality.
A story is a reflection of real life, so it has a special attraction for listeners and readers, including children. Grooves and said the story provides a remarkable touch of emotion in kesehariaan children, so the story provides many benefits for the child's personality development. As a child, I never experienced this because I was so happy when it was read a story or fable. However, all returned to the type and content of the story, as well as the technique tells us as parents. How a good story for children? What are the benefits of a story for children?
In telling stories or storytelling there are certain principles that must be held by us as parents. The main principle which I emphasize is that a story or fairy tale should have a value that reflects the responsibility in developing the child's personality. In this case, we have to be smart to pick and choose stories or fairy tales that contain messages and a positive value for the development of the child's personality, both psychologically and morally. As a method and media of communication, stories or fairy tales that we read also must give effect to fun and learning for children so that the messages and values contained easily absorbed by children. In addition, our ability to talk is also important in supporting the usefulness of a story or fairy tale.
Here are some benefits for the child's personality stories.

   1. Develop the ability to speak and enrich children's vocabulary, especially for toddlers who are learning to talk. New words are heard through tales will enrich vocabulary in speaking, so indirectly we have a lot to teach vocabulary to children through stories. For elementary school age children stories can also train and enrich language skills and understand more complex sentence structure.
   2. Telling stories or storytelling is the process of introducing other forms of emotion and expression to the child, for example angry, sad, happy, annoyed and funny. This will enrich the experience of emotions that will influence the formation and development of emotional intelligence. Therefore, when told to give emphasis on the intonation of certain forms of emotion, by showing the appropriate expression or expression, so that the child is able to recognize and understand the forms of these emotions.
   3. Pleasing effect, happy and cheerful, especially when the story being presented is a funny story. Psychologically, a funny story to make children happy and excited. Feel comfortable and happy is more easier to absorb the values that we teach through story. We need to know that the funny is not the same as clowning (clowning). Criterion here is not funny feature story about the behavior seen bodohan foolishness or foolish, so that children do not learn to imitate the conditions to harass other people who have a deficiency. Humor is fresh and can educate not only easy to make the child smile, laugh or cry rarely, but is able to stimulate creativity and curiosity.
   4. Mentimulasi power of imagination and creativity of children, strengthening the memory, as well as the open horizon children become more critical thinking and intelligent. The story line with other forms of emotional displays will menumbuhkkembangkan child's imagination, so he felt pleased to learn by imagining the story. One time he could write or retell the story content. As parents, we can begin to talk with a hanging ending, let him imagine and guess it goes or we ourselves asked to continue the story. Thus, imagination and creativity, better trained, especially when at school age he was given the task of writing or writing
   5. Can foster empathy in children. Therefore, the stories we read must be in accordance with the principle that I described above. If a child read a story that touches the soul and feelings, or even a story that comes from our childhood experiences, the events in the social environment or television shows are interesting and touching the side of humanity, then the feelings will be touched and he began to have a sense of empathy, begin to differentiate where appropriate replicated and should be shunned. For example, when watching coverage of the disaster, we can tell you how miserable they are affected and we must help him.
   6. Train and develop the intelligence of children. The story is not only fun, but it provides tremendous benefits for children's intelligence is the intelligence (cognitive), emotional (affective), spiritual and visual child. Cognitively that will facilitate the learning process in children, because the ability to think the brain more easily absorb the values contained in the story. Affectively, the story will affect the mood and foster feelings of empathy and positive in children. Spiritually, the story can inspire spiritual awareness, self touches the deepest parts of our children, and trained ability, willingness and their intelligence is the existence of God in their lives. This is a psychomotor would lead them to be able to apply what they have heard of the story through the forms of worship. The story of the life of Prophet Muhammad (Islamic History), the story of the Companions of the Prophet or the martyrs is the reality that the right story to stimulate their intelligence.
   7. As an initial step to foster interest in reading children. Interest in the story will make children curious, wanting to know and read his book. The higher the curiosity, the more high-interest reading anyway, so that later he became a child who likes to read and appreciate science.
   8. Is the best way to educate without violence, instilling moral values and ethics is also truth, discipline and training. Telling stories or storytelling is an effective way to provide a human touch (human touch) and the child's foster sportsmanship. Children can understand the things that need to be emulated and which should not be imitated through stories that we express. This will assist them in identifying themselves with their surroundings, as well as enable them to assess and position themselves in the midst of others.
   9. Build personal relationships and strengthen the bond between parents and children. This is the most important benefits for us were our children, especially for us who can not always be there for her. Reading stories is our opportunity to get closer to them, so it built up a good communication.
Telling stories or storytelling is a simple way that has meaning and can provide a tremendous impact for our children's personalities. Our children are our soul mates, like the relentless sun that shines our lives as a family. Children are not always happy we can do to meet material needs, but more than that, spiritual needs, closeness and strong bonding is a form of complete happiness in building and shaping his personality.

Using Color To Evoke Emotion

2011-12-07T17:17:00.000+07:00

The color spectrum was discovered in 1666 when Sir Isaac Newton passed pure white light through a prism, realizing it separates into all visible colors. Most of today’s artists and designers know that yellow and blue make green and what constitutes a warm color or a cool color, but I’ve found that very few of them know or respect the psychology of green or how warm colors make the viewer feel.

This article will be a general overview of the how the primary colors of the spectrum evoke emotion. In later articles, I will get more in depth and commit an entire article to each primary color.

No matter if you are an interior designer or a website designer, choosing the correct color scheme can really make or break your design. When first meeting a client to discuss their project, I do not necessarily ask them what color scheme they are looking for. I will ask them what they want people to feel. I find it better to say, ‘can you give me three words to describe what you want this to look like.” If they respond with words like, “sleek, technical, powerful” then I will be sure to have a color scheme of dark grays and black, and use bright, vibrant colors for accents. If I am meeting with a medical facility, and they give me words like, “healthy, clean, professional”, then a white with green and yellow color scheme would be more appropriate.

Below, we breakdown what each primary color makes you feel.

• Red: - Associated with Love, Heat, evokes Anger, Intensity, Excitement. Often used in movies to signify a dangerous situation, character or prop. Chromotherapists use red to increase circulation and stimulate the body and mind.
• Orange: - is considered an Energetic, Warm color, evokes Enthusiasm and Excitement. Orange is used to draw attention, as in traffic signs.
• Yellow: - Cheery, Warm, Nature; but evokes Frustration and Anger. Chromotherapists believe that yellow increases metabolism. Highly visible, attention grabber.
• Green: - Nature, Health, Healing, Good Luck, Tranquility, Jealousy; has been known to increase the ability to read, used in decorating to relieve stress and calm, color of fertility
• Blue: Calm, Relaxed, Soothing; evokes Serenity, Sadness – Men Preferred, Research proven blue rooms make people more productive; least appetizing. Chromotherapists use blue to ease the suffering of illness and pain, also lower the pulse and body temperature.
• Violet/Purple: - Symbol of Wealth and Royalty, Spirituality and Wisdom. Sometimes evokes: exotic, mysterious, not natural
• White: - Innocence, Spacious, Purity, Sterile, Focus, isolation

If you are someone who works with colors, try to take these ideas into consideration during your next job. I’ve found that implementing these strategies not only guarantees pleasing your clients because it makes them look good, but it also forces diversity in a portfolio that may tend to favor certain color schemes.

How to Turn Let downs into a Positive Force

2011-12-07T17:16:00.000+07:00

Psychotherapy is often associated with the experience of treating mental health difficulties and the various challenges that life can result in in the form of traumas or painful episodes. While therapy is indeed one of the most efficient avenues for many people to discover about positive change within their personal lives, some individuals may also feel discouraged about the course of psychotherapy over a session or a number counseling sessions, and whilst this emotion may seem to go against the spirit of therapy, it can often end up to be the needed start to an important breakthrough or positive result.

Sometimes clients might become uncomfortable with the outcomes of counseling sessions as a result of the wrong practices employed by the psychotherapist. Even though most mental health professionals actually care about improving the general psyche and health of their clients, ever so often, the means which they opt to use might cause the production of negative feelings amongst the clients. For persons who are experiencing this, it is essential that such people instead approach a therapeutic counselor who uses healthier method well in line with those of good therapy. This will achieve a lot by making the clients feel comfortable and more cherished. Even with these psychotherapists, however, some people may still encounter discouragement at some point in their sessions.

Clients often set goals which they would like to accomplish over the course of their therapy sessions. In the instance that they are unable to achieve these goals, they might be filled with a sense of discouragement or despair. Working with a therapist to design a structure for the therapy if necessary can produce a more reliable and productive list of short and long term goals. This will prevent individuals from feeling disappointed with the treatment or its techniques in the event that their set goals do not become achieved at their expected time.

Being able to come to terms with possible occurrence of during psychotherapy is an important step in the development of a person. Instead of being let down by occasional setbacks, people are able to turn these periods with the support of their attending psychotherapists, into new launching points.

The Forensic Psychology Degree: The Best Kept Secret In The Psychology Field

2011-12-07T17:13:00.000+07:00

The forensic psychology degree is a lesser known, specialized degree in the field of psychology. This special class of psychology requires that one obtains a Master of Arts in forensic psychology, which means that you must first obtain a four-year bachelor's degree before beginning this master's program. Forensic psychology is related to the forensic science field, as it requires vast knowledge in the areas of criminology, law and behavioral science.

Several schools offer these degree programs, and the locations are all across the continental United States. Many graduates with a degree in this field find jobs in places such as penal institutions, court settings, psychiatric clinics and law enforcement agencies. Many other government jobs for forensic psychologists exist, especially on forensics teams and crime scene investigator teams where their skills are needed.

In order to understand what this degree contains, one must first examine what the purpose of this degree is. There is a great need for different types of psychologists who work within the justice system. Students who practice in this field must also know about different jurisdictions so they can provide services that accurately interact with various judges, attorneys and other legal professionals.

Many forensic psychologists are used in a court setting, so training in this regard is also beneficial. The person who obtains this degree must have a great deal of knowledge of the judicial system and a firm grasp on special procedures in order to maintain their credibility in the courtroom.

Forensic psychology doesn't just involve using your skills to benefit the judicial and legal system. The main goal is the same as with any other psychology field, which is to try and help individuals. That being said, a psychologist's role in the legal and judicial system remains important. For example, there are many requests that a judge may solidify with the help of a forensic psychologist. Forensic psychology involves assessing future risks, evaluation of witness credibility in large cases, and many times a forensic psychologist must fully understand the defendant's state of mind so that they can make a correct judgment on behalf of the court.

Other functions of a forensic psychologist are to help the individuals they are examining by offering treatment programs and medication. Even training and evaluating police and other law enforcement personnel is an aspect of the job. This is because law enforcement officials often need training to understand certain parts of their job, such as how a suspect may think or what constitutes insanity on the part of the criminal at the time a crime is committed.

In order to find the right school for your forensic psychology degree, there is some research involved. Tuition may vary widely depending on the institution you select. The quality of the institutions may vary as well. The best way to research and find the right school is to look for the top school rankings from credible sources like major news magazines and other well-known college ranking publications, coupled with questioning others who have completed similar programs.

Although expenses are incurred in attaining the forensic psychology degree, the benefits of the education are well worth it for the right individual. Forensic psychologists are in high demand and their starting salary is generally higher than most other fields of psychology. This makes it a good career choice for those who want to help others and enjoy the challenge of working with the judicial and law enforcement communities.

Autism is a condition of a person since birth or during infancy, which makes him unable to form social relationships or communication is normal. As a result the child is isolated from other human beings and enter the world of repetitive, obsessive activities and interests. (Baron-Cohen, 1993). According to Power (1989) characteristics of children with autism is a disorder in six areas:

    * Social interaction,

These symptoms begin to appear from birth or as a child, usually before the child is 3 years old.
Autism in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-IV R is one of five types of disorders under the umbrella of PDD (Pervasive Development Disorder) outside of ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder). Perpasiv developmental disorders (PDD) is a term used to describe a group of developmental disorders under (umbrella term) PDD, namely:

Emotional Intelligence

2011-12-07T16:51:00.000+07:00

During this time many people assume that if someone has a level of intellectual intelligence (IQ) is high, then that person has the opportunity to achieve greater success in the appeal of others. In fact, there are many cases where someone who has a high level of intelligence of others excluded from the lower level of intellectual intelligence. It turned out that IQ (Intelligence Quotient) is high does not guarantee anyone will achieve success.
Daniel Goleman, a professor from Harvard University explained that there are measures / benchmarks that determine a person's level of success. In his famous book, Emotional Intelligence, proving that the level of human emotional better able to show a person's success.
Intelligence Quotient (IQ) can not thrive. If a person is born with the condition IQ, then IQ can never be increased nor diminished. That is, if someone is born with intelligence quotient (IQ) is enough, he's useless to try in every way to get superior IQ (genius), and vice versa. However, Emotional Quotient (EQ) can be developed with a lifetime of learning.
Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is growing as a person's growth from birth to death. EQ growth is influenced by the environment, family, and examples from any person born of parents. Emotional intelligence involves many important aspects, which seems increasingly hard to find in modern humans, namely:

    * empathy (understanding others in depth)
    * express and understand feelings
    * controlling anger
    * autonomy
    * adaptability
    * preferred
    * interpersonal problem-solving abilities persistence
    * solidarity
    * friendliness
    * comity
Parents are the person who first had to teach emotional intelligence to his son by example and a good example. In order for children to have high emotional intelligence, parents should teach their children to:

    * foster a warm friendship and harmony
    * work in a group in harmony
    * speak and listen effectively
    * achieve higher performance by the rules that exist (sportsmanship)
    * overcome the problem with a mischievous friend
    * empathize with others
    * solve the problem
    * resolve conflicts
    * evoke a sense of humor
    * motivate yourself when facing difficult times
    * facing a difficult situation with confidence
    * bonding
If someone has a high IQ, coupled with a high EQ anyway, the person will be better able to control, and seize every opportunity that exist without creating new problems.

Deja Vu

2011-12-07T16:15:00.000+07:00

Often in life we feel we have experienced an event that has been encountered many times in life, events or ongoing events that we think has happened in our past lives. I had never experienced anything like it's an event that will take place have I felt in my former life, but if in fact it turns out looking for me not knowing and experiencing the event, so I never thought whether this phenomenon is that the saying KARMA, apparently through one of the articles I found this answer is called Deja
Déjà vu comes from one indecent word or phrase in French language meaning literally a "never seen". That is, someone is having an experience that is felt by him never experienced before.This Venomena (Deja vu) was first found and expressed by a French scientist named Emile Boirac who have studied in the year (1851-1917) and recorded entitled "L'Avenir des sciences Psychiques" he wrote at the time he was educated at University of Chicago
The definition of déjà vu in psychiatric science, according to Dr. Vernon Neppe MD, PhD, Director of the Pacific Neuropsychiatric Institute (PNI), is a subjective influence on their perceived similarity current experience with the past is difficult to explain. While James Lampinen, professor of psychology at the University of Arkansas defines as a feeling of déjà vu is so strong on the global similarities that occur in new situations. The similarity in the déjà vu experience this is a whole, until every smallest detail, a lot like someone who never experienced in the past. But this experience is always accompanied by feelings not nyata.deja-vu-brainThe experience of déjà vu is usually accompanied by feelings of "already know" or "already know" or feel "has been experiencing". Often times a déjà vu experience less enjoyable because humans like inadvertently forced to watch footage of his life that may be scary, odd, or even absurd. This experience usually associated with a dream, although in some cases clearly this experience "never really happened before".Déjà vu has several variations, namely:1. Déjà vecu which means ever experienced.2. Déjà inches which means thinking about it.3. Déjà visite which means visit it.There are also 3 types of déjà vu, namely:1. déjà vu associated with personal life (life déjà vu)2. déjà vu associated with a feeling (sense / feeling of déjà vu)3. déjà vu associated with the place (place of déjà vu)4. The combination of these three symptoms of déjà vu, in which a person feels to have lived as other people in one place and the same time, even feelings of the same.Of the several variations and types of déjà vu above, then the relationship can be drawn that:• Déjà vu déjà vecu is related to personal life (life déjà vu)• Déjà vu déjà inches is associated with a feeling (sense / feeling of déjà vu)• Déjà vu déjà visite is associated with the place (place of déjà vu)Sometimes also described as déjà vu feelings that have seen or experienced something before when people who experience it to know when he never did. But misused as a déjà vu of a precognitive experiences, feelings never experienced something and know exactly what will happen next, and it happened.An important issue of déjà vu is experienced something that has never happened before. While some of precognitive important thing is to show something that will happen in the future, but not a thing has ever done or seen in the future.Déjà vu is divided into two categories, namely:1. Associative Déjà VuType of déjà vu of the most commonly experienced by normal healthy people is associative in nature in this world. Humans see, hear, smell or experience an event related to a feeling that people relate to something that has been seen, heard, smelled, or experienced by humans. Previous scientists thought that this type of déjà vu is an experience of "memory base" and assume that the memory centers of the brain responsible for it.2. Biological déjà vuThere is also the incidence of déjà vu among people with temporary lobe epilepsy. Just before epilepsy, patients often experience or a feeling of déjà vu. With the above pengklasifiasian can teridenfikasi that cues the brain where this type of déjà vu begins. However, with this reason also this different kind of déjà vu déjà vu typical gengan own. People who experience this type of déjà vu will probably believe that they have experienced the same events or circumstances earlier, compared with that feeling quickly passed.
Sense of déjà vu from the standpoint of psychology is an illusion as I know / is familiar with a place that is totally foreign. The emergence of these events are believed to be the result of conditions that have been recognized, but is in a sub-threshold of consciousness. For example, when a stroll amid the city, some characteristics seem like the same as the appreciation of having experienced elsewhere.
The point déjà vu is a phenomenon of human brain activity associated with memory, commonly called "redial" This explanation reinforces the fact that "rearrangement of memory" at a given moment affects the state of human consciousness, Bannister and Zangwill (1941) attempted to analyze the déjà vu with use of hypnosis in 10 subjects. Apparently 3 of 10 of whom experienced déjà vu. Cleary (2008) proposed the hypothesis that déjà vu is a form of something that has been familiar note is called cripyamnesia was nothing that has been well studied but is not stored in the brain, but at a memory time in the "open".
What is clear is nearly 70% of people have had deja vu even without them knowing it, and deja vu is not a psychological disease or disorder in the brain, tatepi more on a result of the activity of the brain / memory about an object without us knowing it.

Telekinesis Training: Do You Have The Potential?

2011-12-06T15:03:00.000+07:00

Mind over matter, the power to move things with the use of ones mind or telekinesis is what most of the world considers something that only ever happens in the movies. Although there may be some isolated instances. But when this happens the general reaction is usually that its nothing but a magic trick or an illusion made by really quick hands that the naked eye would find difficult to catch. Being telekinetic is not being a freak of nature it makes one special. Scientific studies made about it offer rational explanations that details how some are capable and why some are not. Over the years, scientists have even come up with several systems that actually provide telekinesis training. This basically means that being a telekinetic is possible for as long as you truly believe that you can do it and that you have the potential.

There have been a couple of individuals that have caught the attention of the world by their extraordinary telekinetic abilities. Little Stasia, or Stanislawa Tomczyk of Poland, was discovered to cause poltergeist activity whenever she was around. Little Stasia is Tomczks alter ego. Tomczyk can only spontaneously move things around her when is under hypnosis and when Little Stasia took over her. This was why in 1910 Tomczyk underwent a battery of tests under a group of scientists in Warsaws Physical Laboratory.

Another psychokinetically gifted individual recorded in history is Nina Kulagina, a Russian who unlocked her powers while endeavoring to develop her other psychic powers. Kulagina demonstrated

her abilities by causing non magnetic objects to move by themselves. Videotaped, experts on telekinesis are doubtful that her telekinetic abilities are nothing but the work of an extremely talented magician.

Uri Geller is probably the most celebrated telekinetic individual among the three. Geller has gone public with his telekinetic gifts through his famous spoon bending through the air waves. In a radio interview in 1973, Geller encouraged listeners to participate in their homes. After a few minutes, the audiences feedback started pouring from across the country reporting how spoons, forks, keys and nails were apparently bending on their own. They also reported how broken watches and clocks began to work normally on their own, as well. What was amazing about this phenomenon was that even Geller was surprised about the outcome and that even he didnt expect the extent that turned out after his radio interview.

There are a lot of theories that attempt to explain how telekinesis really works. One speculation suggests a quantum connection. Another theory also suggests that it deals with a human magnetic field that surrounds the body. Yet another factor that could explain telekinesis is that mediums or participants can join together heat waves and sound waves in a room to produce an energy that can be aimed at objects and cause them to move. Because of the seemingly bizarre events surrounding telekinesis, the study remains to be a controversial subject.
Nevertheless, telekinesis remains to be an interesting field of study. This is why, telekinesis training have also been made available online. To find out if you have potential for psycho kinesis, there are a variety of sites that offer tests and exercise that scores telekinetic potential. There are also exercises that help develop telekinetic abilities through different processes such as meditating for a couple of minutes per day to build up ones focus and prepare the mind to be more open to the gift.

How Do I Get Rich: Positive Thinking In A Negative World

2011-12-05T18:55:00.000+07:00

Positive Thinking is basically an attitude that expects Desirable Results. We are all generally very positive when we were babies. We thought we could be Superman (just an example) and do anything that we want to achieve. However, reality struck through as life became horrendous as shown slowly to you day-by-day, hour-to-hour, person-to-person. Then one day, a guy named Alan (just an illustration) told himself that he can't be superman because my parents said I can't multi-task, my friends think I'm only great at cooking, my teachers think I'm stupid. That Expectation for the Desirable Result is Lost. So he went on to find a Chef job (like everyone who finds a job) and Cook for the rest of my life at a restaurant because it's something he can do and he'll see how it goes from there.

Does that sound familiar? Why not think about being a Great Chef since you're good at it? Why Not Find Ways to be a better Chef every single day. And not just be a better Chef everyday, be a Celebrity Chef for the Rest of your life and collect Royalties from endorsements, books, and even income from your restaurants for your Brand of Cooking! Look at Jamie Oliver! Gordon Ramsay! Anthony Bourdain!

Now let's look at the usual scenario if he thought of being a Great Chef: Along the way he discovers that being a Chef is tough. As time went by, he discovers that being a Great Chef is even tougher. The Chief Chef told Alan all his mistakes everyday and he gets degraded by it everyday over the same few dishes. Alan tried to make changes but the results came out as failures. Then one day, the Restaurant Manager talked to him, 'dude, I've got to give you a lower pay. You're not cut out for this unless you make some improvements over the next few months'. He went home that day convinced that he can't do it, worried of losing his job. He thinks of quitting his job and finding something else to do or finding another job at another restaurant. (Reminder: just as an example) The Attitude is lost again!

COME ON! Think! Open Your Mind! What did Nature give you that's the most valuable among all your Body Parts? It's the only thing that makes humans survive, grow and made a few people change the world! Why Not You? Why Not Now? Ask Yourself!

I say it again. Why Not You? Why Not Now? Although you may not succeed today, you at least realized something and try to make a change. If you tried to change the next day and failed again, try again! Do it until you get it right! And then on to the next challenge! And the next challenge! And the Next Challenge! And the Next Thousand Challenges! And The Next Million Challenges! Life's not worth until you overcome as many obstacles you can find.

Remember these few things when you're doing your business or something else to get rich:

1. Failure is only Feedback. Knowing that you Failed is knowing you're one step closer to success – at least you realized your result.

2, Don't Ever Lose your Vision, your Conviction, your BELIEF.

3. Make Consistent Improvements.

4. Find New Ways of Doing Things.

5. Most Importantly, be Excited about How close you will get to success!

Now. No one can stop you. Only you can stop yourself. Only YOU can Push yourself.

10 Inspirational Quotes Than Can Improve Yourself

2011-12-05T18:49:00.000+07:00

Just don't ask how it happened, please.

But what's really interesting is that how do people go through the usual part of life when faced with vein-popping stress? I mean, the new age thing like Zen or yoga is one of the good things and it actually works. Is there room for the intellectual side of people who can actually smell the roses-in-a-can while on the move? It kind of had me thinking that there really must be something in this 'mind-over-matter' thing.

Humor is indeed the best medicine there is whenever you are. I mean anyone can pay good money to listen to a comedian just to make you wet your pants after laughing so hard. Despite of what's been happening, and to those who has gone though the ordeal, it's better to just laugh while facing the troubles with a clear mind than anger with a clouded vision. One of my favorite celebrities of all time may have to be Woody Allen. Now this is one guy who gives you the in-your-face bluntness that he pulls out with gusto, even without even trying. You can talk just about anything with a man, and he's bound to mock the subject and you'll end up laughing rather than being upset about it.

Woody Allen has this to say:

1. "Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons." It sounds good to me, I mean the practicality of all things does involve money but it doesn't have to take an arm and a leg to get it.

2. "I believe there is something out there watching us. Unfortunately, it's the government." 'Nuff said.

3. "There are worse things in life than death. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?" This happens to be one of the classic ones. I mean the issue about life's little problems isn't all that bad, until 'he' shows up.

Sure, relationships can get complicated, or does have its complications that probably any author about relationships is bound to discover it soon. We follow what our heart desires, unless you're talking about the heart as in the heart that pump blood throughout your body.

4. "Love is the answer, but while you're waiting for the answer, sex raises some pretty interesting questions." And if you want more, just keep on asking!

5. "A fast word about oral contraception. I asked a girl to go to bed with me, she said 'no'." It sounds, 'practical', I think.

And when it comes to everyday life, he really knows how to make the best out of every possible scenario, and it doesn't involve a lawsuit if he strikes a nerve.

6. "Basically my wife was immature. I'd be at home in the bath and she'd come in and sink my boats." I never had a boat in my bathtub before. Just staring at it while soaking in hot water makes me seasick already.

7. "I am not afraid of death, I just don't want to be there when it happens." If it rains, it pours.

8. "I am thankful for laughter, except when milk comes out of my nose." It could get worse when you're guzzling on beer or mouthwash, and it happened to me once!

9. "If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans." At least he doesn't smite us with lightning, and I'm thankful for that.

And despite of what may happen to all of us in the next ten, twenty, or even thirty years, I guess we all have to see things in a different kind of light and not just perspective. I can't seem to imagine life without any piece of wisdom that could guide us. Whether we're religious or not, it takes more courage to accept your fears and learn how to deal with them is all that matters when it comes to even just getting along.
And to sum things up, here is the last nugget of wisdom to go by however, whenever, and wherever we may be.

10. "The talent for being happy is appreciating and liking what you have, instead of what you don't have."

Albert Einstein was born at Ulm, in Württemberg, Germany, on March 14, 1879. Six weeks later the family moved to Munich, where he later on began his schooling at the Luitpold Gymnasium. Later, they moved to Italy and Albert continued his education at Aarau, Switzerland and in 1896 he entered the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich to be trained as a teacher in physics and mathematics. In 1901, the year he gained his diploma, he acquired Swiss citizenship and, as he was unable to find a teaching post, he accepted a position as technical assistant in the Swiss Patent Office. In 1905 he obtained his doctor's degree.

During his stay at the Patent Office, and in his spare time, he produced much of his remarkable work and in 1908 he was appointed Privatdozent in Berne. In 1909 he became Professor Extraordinary at Zurich, in 1911 Professor of Theoretical Physics at Prague, returning to Zurich in the following year to fill a similar post. In 1914 he was appointed Director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Physical Institute and Professor in the University of Berlin. He became a German citizen in 1914 and remained in Berlin until 1933 when he renounced his citizenship for political reasons and emigrated to America to take the position of Professor of Theoretical Physics at Princeton*. He became a United States citizen in 1940 and retired from his post in 1945.

After World War II, Einstein was a leading figure in the World Government Movement, he was offered the Presidency of the State of Israel, which he declined, and he collaborated with Dr. Chaim Weizmann in establishing the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

Einstein always appeared to have a clear view of the problems of physics and the determination to solve them. He had a strategy of his own and was able to visualize the main stages on the way to his goal. He regarded his major achievements as mere stepping-stones for the next advance.

At the start of his scientific work, Einstein realized the inadequacies of Newtonian mechanics and his special theory of relativity stemmed from an attempt to reconcile the laws of mechanics with the laws of the electromagnetic field. He dealt with classical problems of statistical mechanics and problems in which they were merged with quantum theory: this led to an explanation of the Brownian movement of molecules. He investigated the thermal properties of light with a low radiation density and his observations laid the foundation of the photon theory of light.

In his early days in Berlin, Einstein postulated that the correct interpretation of the special theory of relativity must also furnish a theory of gravitation and in 1916 he published his paper on the general theory of relativity. During this time he also contributed to the problems of the theory of radiation and statistical mechanics.

In the 1920's, Einstein embarked on the construction of unified field theories, although he continued to work on the probabilistic interpretation of quantum theory, and he persevered with this work in America. He contributed to statistical mechanics by his development of the quantum theory of a monatomic gas and he has also accomplished valuable work in connection with atomic transition probabilities and relativistic cosmology.

After his retirement he continued to work towards the unification of the basic concepts of physics, taking the opposite approach, geometrisation, to the majority of physicists.

Einstein's researches are, of course, well chronicled and his more important works include Special Theory of Relativity (1905), Relativity (English translations, 1920 and 1950), General Theory of Relativity (1916), Investigations on Theory of Brownian Movement (1926), and The Evolution of Physics (1938). Among his non-scientific works, About Zionism (1930), Why War? (1933), My Philosophy (1934), and Out of My Later Years (1950) are perhaps the most important.

Albert Einstein received honorary doctorate degrees in science, medicine and philosophy from many European and American universities. During the 1920's he lectured in Europe, America and the Far East and he was awarded Fellowships or Memberships of all the leading scientific academies throughout the world. He gained numerous awards in recognition of his work, including the Copley Medal of the Royal Society of London in 1925, and the Franklin Medal of the Franklin Institute in 1935.

Einstein's gifts inevitably resulted in his dwelling much in intellectual solitude and, for relaxation, music played an important part in his life. He married Mileva Maric in 1903 and they had a daughter and two sons; their marriage was dissolved in 1919 and in the same year he married his cousin, Elsa Löwenthal, who died in 1936. He died on April 18, 1955 at Princeton, New Jersey.

Dyselexia

2011-12-04T22:40:00.000+07:00

In my post this time, I will discuss about the disease dyselexia. I want to tell you a bit earlier why I am writing this disease. I picked up this theme from a movie I had just witnessed. In the film tells us that there is a child who had difficulty in reading and writing because it was difficult to distinguish the letters even at the blasted by his teacher because he thought he was mentally retarded, he was fortunate to meet with a teacher who knows that the child craves dyselexia disease. He also helped the students are in the process of reading and writing and painting to develop talent.
So whether it's dyselexia disease?
Because of my curiosity about the disease, because it turned out great genius Albert Einstein (heeee ...) which is famous for his theory of relativity, the famous Leonardo Da Vinchi with paintings, lamps and even the scientist inventor Thomas Alva Edeison also experienced the disease. So I also intend to seek know about the disease. Here's an explanation ..

Dyslexia is a condition of inability to learn on one's difficulties caused by the person in performing activities of reading and writing.

The word dyslexia comes from Greek δυς-dys-("trouble") and λέξις Lexis ("letter" or "lexical").

In general, this limitation is only directed at a person's difficulty in reading and writing, but not limited to the development of other standard capabilities such as intelligence, ability to analyze and also in the sense of taste sensory power.

Dyslexia terminology is also used to refer to lose the ability to read on someone because due to damage to the brain. Dyslexia on this type is often referred to as Aleksia . In addition to affecting the ability to read and write, dyslexia is also suspected to also affect the ability to speak on some infected.

People with dyslexia are not physically be seen as a patient. Dyslexia is not just limited to the inability of someone to write or read a sentence in reverse order but also in various sequences, including from top to bottom, left and right, and difficult to accept the command to be continued to the memory in the brain. This often causes dyslexics not considered concentrations in some respects. In other cases, also found that patients are not able to answer questions such as description, at length.

The researchers found dysfunction is caused by conditions of the biochemistry of the brain that are not stable and also in some cases due to congenital offspring from parents.

There are two types of dyslexia, namely dyslexsia developmental (congenital) and aquired dyslexsia (obtained due to disturbances or changes in the way the left brain to read.) Developmental dyslexsia suffered throughout the life of patients and usually is genetic. Some studies mention that the disease is associated with dysfunction of gray area in the brain. Dysfunction is associated with changes in connectivity in the area of phonological (reading). Some early signs of dyslexia are congenital late talking, no clear articulation and upside down, the difficulty of studying the shape and sound of the letters, confusion between the concepts of space and time, and difficulty digesting verbal instructions, quick, and sequentially. At school age, most people with dyslexia may experience difficulties in combining letters into words, difficulty reading, difficulty holding writing instruments well, and difficulty in accepting.

Narcissistic

2011-12-02T20:27:00.001+07:00

Of course you often hear the word narcissistic .. when our friend was busy himself with his camera style while others are silent, we must have friends in say being narcissistic. Or perhaps when someone believes himself or herself revealed excess praise narcissistic said she must not be left behind for him.
where the actual origin of the word narcissistic sich itself?
For those who do not know, theexplanation may be viewed below ..
The word narcissist is actually taken from Greek mythology about a boy named Narcissus. It is said there is a very handsome man named Narcissus. He was the son of gods and fairies Liriope Cephissus river. Yes guns wonder yes, a combination of god and the results are definitely gorgeous fairy.
Because good-looking, obviously a lot of girls really fall in love with Narcissus. Unfortunately, there is not one that caught his attention. One of the girls who fall in love with Narcissus is Echo. This chick
really fall in love until he's willing to catch up to the mountain Narcissus and Narcissus continues to stalk wherever go. Over time these guys realized he also had followers. When Echo said that she liked him, Narcissus rejected.
Echo really sad. This girl is soon hidden in the middle of a deserted forest. Echo's body became more and more away until only her voice is heard.
Seeing the sadness Echo, the goddess Nemesis made Narcissus intend to give lessons. He punishes Narcissus so she falls in love with himself. Genesis deh ... one day Narcissus was walking and she accidentally looked into the river Styx. Narcissus really surprised to see there the face of someone who is so handsome. Once seen, Narcissus fell in love. He did not move one bit. This guy just kept staring at her own face until he tried to kiss his own reflection. He then kecebur river and died. The other gods discovered his body and turn it into a flower called Narcissus flower.
That's the origin of the word narcissistic, my message "we should praise the greatness of God given to but not too much because God was really not like excessive".
Okey

100 wish list

2011-11-30T17:30:00.000+07:00

Heem.. dah lama juga nich gak ngeblog. I feel something lost from my soul. Hihihi.. lebay. Gara-gara sibuk dengan aktifitas lain dan menyelesaikan membaca sebuah buku nich.. (lho kok jadi curhat yach?)

Sebenernya kenapa saya curhat? Jawabannya adalah Karena saya akan membahas buku yang akhirnya selesai juga saya baca. (alhamdulillah yach.. sesuatu)

Terus sebenarnya saya baca buku apa sich sampai meninggalkan blog saya tercinta? Okey.. buat yang penasaran di baca yach.. kalau yang gak penasaran pokoknya harus dibaca juga.. judulnya pemaksaan nich.

“Setiap yang bernyawa pasti akan mati”. Begitu juga dengan kita.. cepat atau lambat, siap ataupun tak siap pasti akan kesana juga.. Lantas pertanyaannya… siapakah nama ketua RT anda sekarang? lho??? hihihi.. ya gak lah..

Pertanyaannya.. “sudahkah kamu melakukan keinginamu sebelum nyawamu di cabut dari raga?”

Karena sebenarnya di dunia ini hanya ada 3 masa yaitu kemarin, sekarang dan akan datang.

Lantas sekarang, jika kamu menengok ke belakang pengalaman apakah yang paling berkesan? Adakah keinginanmu yang sudah tercapai? Ataukah kamu terlalu sibuk dengan rutinitas sehari-harimu sehingga kamu belum melakukan sesuatu yang sebenarnya sangat kamu ingin lakukan.

Untuk itu, saya ingin mengajak kamu untuk membuat daftar keinginanmu. Buatlah 100 daftar keinginan yang ingin kamu lakukan. Baik itu dari hal-hal kecil sampai ke hal-hal yang besar. Mulai dari keinginan kamu semasa kecil sampai usiamu sekarang. Sebagai contoh, kamu bisa mencantumkan kedalam daftar keinginanmu seperti: menolong sesama, menanam pohon, mendaki gunung atau mungkin wisata keluar negeri, menonton pertandingan liga inggris secara langsung, bahkan naik kapal pesiar.

Lalu setelah selesai kamu boleh menyelipkannya ke dalam laci, membingkainya maupun menguburnya ke dalam tanah..

Setelah itu, kamu bisa lihat kembali berapa persenkah yang bisa kamu lakukan dari daftar yang kamu buat? “Karena segala sesuatu di buat berdasarkan sebuah gagasan”.

so.. selamad membuat your wish list

enjoy..

Gagal? Siapa takut..!!

2011-11-16T23:06:00.000+07:00

Apakah Kamu pernah mengalami kegagalan dalam hidup atau apa yang telah kamu capai belum memuaskan? Penelitian baru dari University of Kent telah mengungkapkan bahwa berpikir positif, penerimaan diri, dan humor adalah strategi penanggulangan yang paling efektif bagi Kamu yang berurusan dengan kegagalan.

Dalam sebuah makalah yang diterbitkan oleh international journal Anxiety, Stress & Coping, Dr Joachim Stoeber dan Dr Dirk Janssen dari University School of Psychology mengatakan bahwa ada tiga strategi untuk menangani kegagalan dan membantu orang untuk menjaga semangat mereka.

Beberapa strategi yang dilakukan banyak orang untuk mengatasi kegagalan meliputi: mencari dukungan emosional, pengingkaran, penggunaan narkoba, menyalahkan diri sendiri, dan melepaskan diri dari masalah.

Penelitian ini menunjukkan, mereka yang biasanya mengatasi kegagalan dengan mencari dukungan emosional, penggunaan narkoba, penolakan atas kenyataan, menyalahkan diri sendiri, dan melepaskan diri dari masalah, memiliki dampak negatif dan kurang memuaskan.

Sebaliknya, berpikir positif (mencoba untuk melihat sesuatu lebih positif, mencari sesuatu yang baik tentang apa yang terjadi), penerimaan diri dan humor, memiliki dampak yang lebih positif dan lebih memuaskan.

Dr Stoeber, otoritas terkemuka perfectionism, motivation, and performance, percaya bahwa temuan penelitian ini akan menarik perhatian siapa saja yang bekerja dalam bidang penanganan stres. Berpikir positif sangat membantu bagi mereka yang gagal, dibandingkan dengan mereka yang mencari perhatian emosional dari orang lain dan cenderung tidak puas melihat apa yang mereka telah capai.

Fokus pada apa yang telah Kamu capai, bukan pada apa yang belum tercapai. Tidak ada gunanya merenungkan kegagalan. Sebaliknya, akan lebih bermanfaat untuk mencoba menerima apa yang telah terjadi, mencari aspek-aspek positif, dan humor di dalamnya. Semoga berhasil

Grafologi

2011-11-15T22:14:00.000+07:00

Pengertian dari grafologi adalah seni membaca karakter tulisan tangan. Tulisan tangan mirip sidik jari-setiap orang memiliki ciri khusus, kalaupun ada dua orang memiliki tulisan tangan yang sama, jika kamu perhatikan, pasti akan terlihat bedanya.

Tulisan tangan terbentuk dari rangsangan kecil dari otak sehingga sering sekali para ahli grafologis menyebut tulisan tangan adalah “tulisan otak.” Grafologi merupakan sebuah ilmu yang empirik, karena ilmu ini dibuktikan berdasarkan fenomena dalam satu populasi dan ada kuantifikasi hasil atau ada hasil dari uji statistik yang bisa dipertanggungjawabkan.

Nah, pada postingan kali ini saya akan menuliskan bagaimana caranya membaca kepribadian tersebut melalui tulisan tangan, tapi yang yang akan saya jelaskan disini hanya garis besarnya saja, kalau begitu langsung saja di simak di bawah ini :

1. Arah kemiringan huruf

* Ke kanan = ekspresif, emosional

* Tegak = menahan diri, emosi sedang

* Ke kiri = menutup diri

* Ke segala arah dalam 1 kalimat = tidak konsisten

* Ke segala arah dalam 1 kata = ada masalah dengan kepribadiannya

2. Bentuk umum huruf-huruf

* Bulat atau melingkar = alami, easygoing

* Bersudut tajam = agresif, to the point, energi kuat

* Bujur sangkar = realistis, praktik berdasar pengalaman

* Coretan tak beraturan = artistik, tidak punya standar

3. Huruf-huruf bersambung atau tidak

* Bersambung seluruhnya = sosial, suka bicara, dan bertemu dengan orang banyak.

* Sebagian bersambung, sebagian lepas = pemalu, idealis yang agak sulit membina hubungan (terlebih hubungan spesial)

* Lepas seluruhnya = berpikir sebelum bertindak, cerdas, seksama

4. Spasi antar kata

* Berjarak tegas = suka berbicara (mungkin orang yang selalu sibuk)

* Rapat seolah tidak berjarak = tidak sabaran, percaya diri, cepat bertindak

5. Jarak bertikal antar baris tulisan

* Sangat jauh = terisolasi, menutup diri, bahkan mungkin anti sosial

* Cukup berjarak sehingga huruf di baris atas tidak bersentuhan dengan baris di bawahnya = boros dan suka bicara

* Berjarak rapat sehingga ujung bawah huruf 'y" , 'g', menyentuh ujung atas huruf 'h', 't' = organisator yang baik.

6. Huruf 'T'

Letak palang pada huruf 'T'

* Cenderung ke kiri = pribadi waspada, tidak mudah percaya

* Tepat di tengah = pribadi yang kurang orisinil, tapi sangat bertanggung jawab

* Cenderung ke kanan = pribadi andal, teliti, dan mampu memimpin

Adapun panjang kail 'T' menunjukkan kemampuan potensial untuk mencapai target. Tinggi-rendah palang

(-) pada kail 't'

* Rendah = setting target lebih rendah dari kemampuan sebenarnya (kurang percaya diri atau pemalas)

* Tinggi = setting target tinggi, tapi juga diimbangi oleh kemampuan

* Di atas kail = setting target lebih tinggi dibanding kemampuan

7. Arah tulisan pada kertas

* Naik/menanjak = energik, optimis, dan tegas

* Tetap/lurus = perfeksionis dan sulit bergaul

* Lurus = seorang yang tertekan atau lelah, kemungkinan menutup diri,

8. Tekanan saat menulis

Makin kuat tekanan,, makin besar intensitas emosional penulisnya

9. Ukuran huruf

Makin kecil huruf yang ditulis, maka makin besar tingkat konsentrasi si penulis, begitu pula sebaliknya.

10. Huruf 'O'

* Adanya rahasia ditunjukkan oleh lingkaran kecil pada huruf 'o'

* Kebohongan ditunjukkan oleh lingkaran huruf 'o' yang mengarah ke kanan

Yang di atas itu cuma garis besarnya saja sob, masih ada pengembangannya, contohnya kemiringan huruf, miringnnya biasa saja atau sangat miring bisa jadi perbedaan. lain waktu kita bahas lagi mengenai kelanjutan posting saya kali ini. okey

Skizofrenia

2011-11-10T23:28:00.002+07:00

Akhir-akhir ini jika kamu pernah melihat berita di televisi bahwa ada seorang yang melukai atau menyakiti dirinya sendiri atau bayinya, secara akal sehat mungkin tak bisa kita cerna yach.. lantas mengapa bisa demikian? setelah di periksa oleh tim medis dari kedokteran ternyata ia mengidap penyakit Skizofrenia.

Tahukahah kamu apakah Skizofrenia?

untuk menambah wawasan tentang psikologi, yuk sama-sama belajar lagi..
Skizofrenia merupakan penyakit otak yang timbul akibat ketidakseimbangan pada dopamin, yaitu salah satu sel kimia dalam otak. Ia adalah gangguan jiwa psikotik paling lazim dengan ciri hilangnya perasaan afektif atau respons emosional dan menarik diri dari hubungan antarpribadi normal. Sering kali diikuti dengan delusi (keyakinan yang salah) dan halusinasi (persepsi tanpa ada rangsang pancaindra).

Pada pasien penderita, ditemukan penurunan kadar transtiretin atau pre-albumin yang merupakan pengusung hormon tiroksin, yang menyebabkan permasalahan pada zalir serebrospinal.

Skizofrenia bisa mengenai siapa saja. Data American Psychiatric Association (APA) tahun 1995 menyebutkan 1% populasi penduduk dunia menderita skizofrenia.

75% Penderita skizofrenia mulai mengidapnya pada usia 16-25 tahun. Usia remaja dan dewasa muda memang berisiko tinggi karena tahap kehidupan ini penuh stresor. Kondisi penderita sering terlambat disadari keluarga dan lingkungannya karena dianggap sebagai bagian dari tahap penyesuaian diri.

Pengenalan dan intervensi dini berupa obat dan psikososial sangat penting karena semakin lama ia tidak diobati, kemungkinan kambuh semakin sering dan resistensi terhadap upaya terapi semakin kuat. Seseorang yang mengalami gejala skizofrenia sebaiknya segera dibawa ke psikiater dan psikolog.

Kleptomania

2011-11-09T20:29:00.001+07:00

Mungkin kalian pernah mendengar istilah klepto, atau mungkin kalian pernah membaca atau melihat berita bahwa seorang Presiden Cheko yang mencuri pena pada saat acara penandatanganan kerjasama saat dirinya duduk bersama Presiden Cile?
wah.. wah.. wah.. kog bisa yach?Sebenarnya apa sich klepto itu? penasaran?? yuuk sama-sama kita simak penjelasan di bawah ini..

Kleptomania (bahasa Yunani: κλέπτειν, kleptein, "mencuri", μανία, "mania") adalah penyakit jiwa yang membuat penderitanya tidak bisa menahan diri untuk mencuri. Benda-benda yang dicuri oleh penderita kleptomania umumnya adalah barang-barang yang tidak berharga, seperti mencuri gula, permen, sisir, atau barang-barang lainnya. Sang penderita biasanya merasakan rasa tegang subjektif sebelum mencuri dan merasakan kelegaan atau kenikmatan setelah mereka melakukan tindakan mencuri tersebut. Tindakan ini harus dibedakan dari tindakan mencuri biasa yang biasanya didorong oleh motivasi keuntungan dan telah direncanakan sebelumnya. Penyakit ini umum muncul pada masa puber dan ada sampai dewasa. Pada beberapa kasus, kleptomania diderita seumur hidup. Penderita juga mungkin memiliki kelainan jiwa lainnya, seperti kelainan emosi, Bulimia Nervosa, paranoid, schizoid atau borderline personality disorder. Kleptomania dapat muncul setelah terjadi cedera otak traumatik dan keracunan karbon monoksida.
Jadi, saran saya jika kita mempunyai teman saudara atau siapa pun yang ternyata seorang kleptomania, maka kita tak perlu untuk menjauhinya. malah beruntungkan kalo dia lagi beraksi saat bersama kita. hihihihihi.. (just kidding lho sob, ntar beneran di praktekin lagi)

I hope this info can be useful

Hewan Peliharaan

2011-11-08T16:06:00.000+07:00

Good News nich buat pecinta binatang yang punya anak kecil

Ternyata mempunyai hewan peliharaan tak hanya bisa menghilangkan stres, punya hewan peliharaan di rumah juga bisa membuat Kamu memiliki keuntungan lain. Sebuah studi membuktikan bahwa anak dari orang yang memiliki hewan peliharaan cenderung tidak memiliki alergi hewan.

Sebuah studi menunjukkan bahwa tahun pertama dalam kehidupan anak adalah masa penting dalam membangun sistem perlawanan tubuh, termasuk terhadap alergi. Anak-anak yang sudah memiliki kontak dengan hewan peliharaan seperti kucing dan anjing sejak kecil, akan dapat mencegahnya mengalami alergi di kemudian hari.

Dalam studi tersebut para ahli mempelajari sampel darah 600 peserta yang berusia 18 tahun, kemudian membandingkan tingkat antibodi terhadap alergi anjing dan kucing kepada peserta yang memiliki hewan peliharaan dan tidak.

Remaja yang dekat dengan hewan peliharaan sejak tahun pertama kehidupannya memiliki peluang 50 persen lebih tahan terhadap alergi anjing atau kucing dibandingkan dengan yang tidak memiliki hewan peliharaan.

"Mengekspos (mendekatkan) anak dengan kucing dan anjing di rumah tidak akan meningkatkan risiko sensitisasi ke binatang-binatang. Bahkan mungkin mengurangi risiko (alergi)," jelas Ganesha Wegienka dari departemen ilmu kesehatan masyarakat, Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, seperti dilansir Telegraph, Rabu (15/6/2011).

Menurut Wegienka, penelitian ini membuktikan bahwa paparan dengan hewan peliharaan di awal kehidupan tidak membuat anak-anak menjadi berisiko alergi terhadap hewan di kemudian hari.

Hasil studi ini telah dipublikasikan pada jurnal Clinical & Experimental Allergy.

Alergi kucing biasanya paling umum disebabkan oleh protein dalam bentuk serpih kulit kucing dan air liur, yang mempengaruhi 40 persen dari penderita asma.

Orang yang alergi kucing atau hewan lain biasanya akan merasakan gejala seperti mata gatal, bersin, asma dan ruam kulit.

Jadi,, mitos yang selama ini beredar bahwa hewan peliharaan dapat menyebabkan alergi adalah salah.. dan jika kamu ingin memiliki hewan peliharaan pun tidak perlu takut untuk memeliharanya..

Aktivitas mengurangi Lupa

2011-11-06T09:43:00.000+07:00

Pernahkah kamu merasa kehilangan kunci motor atau mobil karena lupa menaruhnya di mana? Atau pernahkah kamu harus kembali pulang kerumah Karena ada file penting yang tertinggal dirumah padahal sebelumnya kamu sudah menyiapkannya? Bahkan yang paling parah, kamu lupa hari spesial kamu dan orang-orang yang penting dalam kehidupan kamu.. (hayoo.. ngakuu pasti pernah mengalaminyakan?)

Hal-hal seperti itu sering kita alami dalam kehidupan kita, namun kita menganggap hal-hal tersebut adalah hal yang wajar karena faktor umur atau kita sibuk dengan aktifitas keseharian kita..

Heemm.. jangan salah, ternyata lupa bisa kita kurangi lhoo.. penasaran bagaimana caranya? Jangan banyak basa-basi dech, langsung baca aja yach..

Aktivitas mengurangi lupa dapat kita lakukan dengan cara sebagai berikut:

1. Cobalah dengan kegiatan terbalik dari aktivitas yang biasa kamu lakukan dalam kegiatan sehari-hari

Jadi.. jika kamu bukan kidal, cobalah dengan menulis dengan menggunakan tangan kiri dan sebaliknya yach.. jika kamu kidal belajarlah menulis dengan menggunakan tangan kanan.. atau kamu juga bisa melakukan jogging dengan jalan mundur.. (mungkin yang ini agak aneh yach kalo dilakukan sendiri, tapi tak ada salahnya jika mau mencoba)

2. Minum air putih

Dah tau kan banyak sekali manfaat air putih bagi tubuh kita? (bagi yang belum tau. Cari tau sendiri aja yach. Hihihihihi..) dan ternyata manfaat air putih juga dapat mengurangi lupa.. jadi bagi yang gak suka minum, belajarlah dari sekarang untuk memperbanyak minum air putih minimal 8 gelas sehari yach..

3. Istirahat

Nich khusus bagi yang suka begadang kurangilah aktifitas begadangnya.. (bang H.Roma juga dah ngelarang buat begadangkan?) istirahatkanlah mata kita setelah penat seharian beraktivitas, minimal kita mengistirahatkan mata kita 7 jam dalam sehari..

4. Latihan menarik nafas dengan baik

Mari belajar menarik nafas dengan baik (jangan biasakan kita bernafas seperti sehabis lari memutari GBK sebanyak 10X, boros boo.. bisa-bisa yang lainnya sesak nafas karena kehabisan udara) tariklah nafas dengan perlahan dan biarkan udara masuk kedalam paru-paru kita keluarkanlah dengan perlahan melalui mulut kita. Cukup melakukan kegiatan ini selama 10 menit dalam sehari.

5. Batasi waktu menonton TV

Batasilah aktifitas kita dalam menonton TV, jika ingin menonton TV cukup menoton acara yang menambah pengetahuan kita (bukan bermaksud mendeskriminasikan acara TV lho..) dan itupun jangan lebih dari 2 jam setiap harinya. Karena jika seseorang menonton TV lebih dari 2 jam dalam sehari.. maka akan menyebabkan Alzheimer.

6. Membaca

Untuk mengurangi aktifitas menonton TV, lebih baik kita mengalihkan dengan membaca buku. Terutama buku-buku seperti novel karena dengan membaca novel maka secara tidak langsung membuat otak kita berfikir, bagaimana kelanjutan ceritanya.

7. Membuat catatan kecil

Membuat catatan kecil ternyata sangat membantu kita dalam hal mengingat sesuatu. Karena menulis dapat membantu dalam mengingat sebanyak 20%.

8. Menari

Menarilah dan terus tertawa.. walau dunia tak seindah surga (ternyata soundtract sebuah film ini juga ada manfaatnya dalam mengurangi lupa kita)

9. Berhati-hati dalam mengkonsumsi obat

Jika kita merasa sedang tidak enak badan, dan ingin meminum obat.. saran saya berhati-hatilah dalam memilih obat.. karena ternyata obat-obatan yang mengandung asetaminofen dapat membuat kita bertambah lupa

10. Hilangkan fikiran negatif

Poin yang paling penting adalah Hilangkan fikiran negatif, biasakanlah jika kita sedang mempunyai fikiran negative rubahlah menjadi fokoran yang positip..

Okey.. itulah tips untuk mengurangi lupa..

saya harap dapat kamu praktekkan yach..

Kisah Anak Indigo

2011-11-03T19:46:00.000+07:00

Mami, jangan menginap di hotel itu. Aku mencium bau darah kematian." Itulah anjuran seorang anak berusia taman kanak-kanak (TK) manakala keluarganya memutuskan menginap di sebuah hotel berbintang di Jakarta. Karena sang mami paham betul setiap apa yang disampaikan anaknya selalu benar, mereka pun batal menginap dan mengarahkan kendaraannya menuju hotel lain. Tak berapa lama kemudian hotel itu meledak! Darah mengalir, korban bergelimangan. Meluluhlantakkan semua yang ada.

Itu hanya satu cerita kecil dari begitu banyak cerita tentang keistimewaan anak indigo.

Berikut cerita mengenai Ardi..

Berbeda, tetapi Bukan Anak “Aneh” Sepanjang perjalanan menuju rumah nenek, Ardi, sebut saja begitu, seperti tidak bergerak. Wajahnya pucat pasi. Ia terus menutupi telinganya. Sang ibu tak berani mengusik anak sulungnya. “Saya sebenarnya heran, kok Ardi nangisnya sampai begitu waktu mendengar kabar ibu saya meninggal. Enggak seperti anak kecil lain yang kehilangan neneknya. Sedih ya sedih, tapi enggak gitu-gitu amat,” ujar Dewi.

Begitu turun dari mobil, Ardi seperti terkesima melihat sesuatu di pintu masuk. Ketika mencium jenazah neneknya, tiba-tiba ia kembali menutupi telinganya dan tampak ketakutan. Pandangannya terus menuju ke luar pintu. Setelah itu Ardi mengatakan kepalanya sakit, dan tidak ikut ke makam.

Menjelang tengah malam, Ardi menanyakan apakah ibunya mendengar suara petir siang tadi. Sang ibu menjawab, “Tidak.” “Masak Mama enggak dengar, kan keras sekali dan terus- terusan, Ma,” kata Dewi menirukan ucapan Ardi saat itu. “Sehabis itu Ardi menceritakan semuanya,” lanjut Dewi. Selain petir, Ardi melihat burung besar di pintu rumah sang nenek. “Burung itu enggak pergi-pergi,” ujar Ardi seperti ditirukan Dewi.

Saat mencium neneknya, Ardi melihat sang nenek berjalan menuju sebuah gerbang. Saat itu Ardi mendengar suara petir lagi, yang lebih keras dari sebelumnya, dan ia menyaksikan neneknya melangkah melewati gerbang, terus berjalan menuju tempat yang ia katakan “indah sekali”.

Peristiwa itu bukan yang pertama, sehingga Dewi dan suaminya tidak lagi terkejut mendengar penuturan anak mereka. “Dia sering melihat macam- macam, tetapi biasanya diam. Ia hanya mau berbicara sesudahnya, pelan-pelan dan hanya kepada orang tertentu,” sambung Dewi.

Usia Ardi kini menjelang 10 tahun. Di sekolah ia termasuk cerdas. IQ-nya antara 125-130. “Tapi gurunya bilang ia suka bengong di kelas,” sambung Dewi. Kepada ibunya, ia bercerita melihat macam-macam di sekolah, yang tidak bisa dilihat orang lain, di antaranya anak tanpa anggota badan, dan ia merasa sangat kasihan.

Suatu hari saat belajar di rumah ia tersenyum. Ketika ditanya oleh sang ibu, ia mengatakan ada anak persis sekali dengan dirinya. Hari berikutnya ia bercerita, anak itu datang di sekolahnya. Ketika ditanya di mana ia tinggal, anak itu menjawab, “Di sana,” sambil telunjuknya menunjuk ke arah atas. “Ada apa di sana?” tanya Ardi. Anak itu menjawab, “Ada orang gede- gede buanget. Anak itu omongnya juga medhok lho Ma, kayak aku, persis,” tutur Ardi seperti diceritakan kembali oleh Dewi. Tentu tak ada orang lain melihat “anak itu” kecuali Ardi.

Dewi dan suaminya memahami apa yang terjadi pada Ardi dan juga adiknya. Beberapa anggota keluarganya juga memiliki kepekaan lebih dibandingkan dengan orang kebanyakan. Pada Ardi hal itu sudah terdeteksi saat masih bayi. “Kalau dengar suara azan, Ardi tampak mendengarkan dengan penuh konsentrasi,” kenang Dewi. Menjelang usia 1,5 tahun, Ardi membaca kalimat syahadat secara sambung-menyambung seperti wirid. Sesudah bisa jalan, sebelum usia dua tahun, ia mulai mengambil sajadah sendiri, memakai sarung sendiri dan membuat gerakan seperti orang shalat, meskipun bukan waktu shalat.

Toh tingkah laku Ardi membuat Dewi merasa agak risau. “Ia melihat dan mendengar apa saja yang orang lain enggak bisa lihat dan enggak bisa dengar,” katanya. Ia tidak menceritakan situasi anaknya itu pada setiap orang di luar keluarga. “Kalau enggak percaya bisa-bisa anak itu dianggap berkhayal,” lanjutnya.

Dewi tidak mengecap anaknya berkhayal, karena dalam beberapa hal ia juga memiliki kepekaan itu, meski hanya sampai tingkat tertentu. “Suatu sore, sehabis shalat, saya merasa ada bayangan putih. Ardi rupanya juga melihat karena ia tersenyum. Dia bilang, ‘Ma, ada yang ngikutin, perempuan. Tapi orangnya baik sekali.’ Ketika saya tanya siapa, Ardi tidak menjawab.”

Apakah Anak Anda Indigo?

2011-11-02T21:22:00.000+07:00

Untuk mengetahui apakah anak anda atau anda sendiri indigo, jawablah pertanyaan berikut:

1) Apakah anak anda sering bersikap seperti bangsawan?, 2) Apakah anak anda memiliki perasaan pantas diterima?, 3) Apakah anak anda mempunyai perasaan bahwa dirinya dapat dimengerti?, 4) Apakah anak anda sulit menghadapi disiplin dan kekuasaan?, 5) Apakah anak anda menolak untuk mengerjakan hal-hal pasti yang diminta untuk dikerjakan?, 6) Apakah kegiatan antri tak disukai anak anda?, 7) Apakah anak anda tidak menyukai sistem yang berorientasi ritual/mekanikal dan sedikit memerlukan kreatifitas?, 8) Apakah anak anda sering dapat mengetahui cara-cara yang lebih baik dalam mengerjakan sesuatu, baik di rumah atau di sekolah?, 9) Apakah anak anda tidak mudah kompromi?, 10) Apakah anak anda tidak merespon/takut pada ancaman?, 11) Apakah anak anda mudah bosan terhadap pekerjaan yang ditugaskan, 12) Apakah anak anda terlihat mempunyai gejala ADD?, 13) Apakah anak anda kreatif?, 14) Apakah anak anda terlihat mempunyai intuisi yang tajam?, 15) Apakah anak anda mempunyai sikap empati yang menonjol terhadap orang lain?, 16)Apakah anak anda mempunyai pemikiran yang abstract?, 17) Apakah anak anda cerdas?, 18) Apakah anak anda sangat berbakat (yang diidentifikasi sebagai karunia)?, 19)Apakah anak anda terlihat sebagai pengkhayal?, 20) Apakah mata anak anda terlihat memancarkan mata orang dewasa, bijak dan dalam?, 21) Apakah anak anda mempunyai kecerdasan spiritual?

Jika anda mempunyai 10 jawaban “Ya”, maka anak anda kemungkinan adalah indigo.

Jika jawaban “Ya” lebih dari 15, maka anak anda dipastikan sebagai anak indigo.

Bila ternyata anak anda adalah seorang anak indigo, alangkah lebih baiknya jika anda mau mendidik anak anda seperti tips di bawah ini.

Wendy Chapman, memberikan 10 tips untuk mendidik anak-anak indigo, sebagai berikut:

1. Perlakukan mereka dengan penuh penghargaan. Jika anda tidak menunjukkan penghargaan kepada mereka, mereka juga akan demikian, walaupun anda mempunyai otoritas atau kekuasaan.

2. Dengarkan pendapat mereka. Mereka perlu tahu bahwa anda peduli dan mengenali sistem nilai mereka.

3. Kembangkan kemampuan mereka. Beri mereka pilihan, seperti misalnya tipe produk yang akan dipelajari, apa perintah untuk pekerjaan yang harus dilakukan, pilihan antara dua kegiatan. Memiliki suara yang didengar membuat rasa yang berbeda atas penghargaan diri, biasanya akan mendorong mereka untuk berpartisipasi dalam pilihan yang sudah mereka buat dan konsekuensinya akan memperbaiki sikap mereka terhadap anda dan terhadap pendidikan.

4. Bangunlah sikap koperatif dan hindari memberi perintah. Anak indigo tidak akan peduli terhadap hal-hal yang dimaksudkan untuk mengontrol mereka. Merka akan peduli terhadap perlakuan yang bersifat adil dan baik.

5. Bantu mereka melakukan hal yang berbeda. Jika mereka frustasi, misalnya pekerjaan sekolah, sehingga mereka merasa sendiri di dunia, bantulah mendorong mereka untuk berbuat sesuatu yang positif untuk merubahnya. Seperti menulis surat, karya tulis, puisi, membuat poster, T shirt, mengorganisasi kelompok diskusi.

6. Bantu mereka membangun bakat dan kemampuannya. Dorong mereka untuk kreatif dan berani mengekspresikan kepribadian merka yang unik.

7. Bersikap toleran terhadap emosinya yang ekstrim. Bantu mereka membuat keseimbangan menggunakan aromaterapi, ijinkan mereka minum air putih di kelas, bersikap tenang, atau latihan visualisasi.

8. Dorong mereka untuk menjadi sumber kedamaian bagi orang lain. Indigo dilahirkan untuk menjadi sumber kedamaian. Dorong mereka untuk melatihnya. Hal ini akan membangun komunikasi dan welas asih. Jadilah pembimbingnya dalam hal ini.

9. Jelaskan MENGAPA untuk semua hal. Mengapa ada aturan, mengapa mereka perlu untuk mengerjakan pekerjaan rumah/sekolah. Mengapa dunia seperti ini? Jika anda tidak mempunyai jawabannya, pahami rasa frustasi mereka dan tunjukkan sikap empati.

10. Kurangi obat-obatan untuk ADD. Indigo bukan ADD, tapi indigo secara alamiah memberikan perhatian pada sesuatu secara selektif. Jika mereka dapat fokus pada sesuatu yang mereka pilih untuk jangka waktu yang lama,kemungkinan anak ini indigo, bukan ADD. Walaupun nampaknya ada masalah pada perhatian, carilah alternatif terapi, bukan dengan Ritalin, jangan menekan kreatifitas alamiah dan kepemimpinan indigo, tetapi bantulah untuk mengorganisir.

2011-11-02T21:09:00.000+07:00

Pernah dengar istilah INDIGO?. Kalau dalam dunia pewarnaan, maka INDIGO adalah warna nila. Tapi bila dirangkai menjadi “anak INDIGO”, akan mempunyai arti tersendiri.

Anak indigo atau anak nila (Bahasa Inggris: Indigo Children) adalah konsep Zaman Baru anak-anak yang memiliki karakteristik berbeda dari anak-anak seusianya. Anak ini memiliki sifat yang unik untuk membedakan generasinya dengan generasi sebelumnya. Istilah (indigo atau indira) ini menunjukkan warna aura dalam warna kehidupan mereka. Indigo sendiri juga terkait dengan indra keenam (sixth sense) yang terletak pada cakra mata ketiga yang menggambarkan intuisi dan kekuatan batin yang luar biasa tajam yang melebihi kemampuan orang kebanyakan. Kebanyakan dari mereka memiliki kelebihan dengan bakat yang luar biasa atau secara akademik mempunyai prestasi. Anak indigo juga mampu menunjukkan empati yang sangat dalam dan mudah merasa iba serta tampak bijaksana untuk anak seusianya. Anak indigo menunjukkan perilaku lebih dewasa dibandingkan usianya dan memiliki kemampuan intuisi yang sangat tinggi. Biasanya mereka tidak mau diperlakukan sebagai anak-anak.

Gangguan Identitas Disosiatif

2011-11-02T20:58:00.000+07:00

Gangguan identitas disosiatif (dahulu dikenal sebagai gangguan kepribadian ganda) adalah gangguan jiwa yang berasal dari akibat sampingan dari trauma parah pada masa kanak-kanak (bahasa Inggris: childhood umur 3 -11 tahun) dan remaja (bahasa Inggris: adolesence umur 12 -18 tahun)

Individu biasanya mengalami pengalaman traumatis yang cukup ekstrem dan terjadi berulang kali yang mengakibatkan terbentuknya dua atau lebih kepribadian yang berbeda. Masing-masing individu dengan ingatan sendiri, kepercayaan, perilaku, pola pikir, serta cara melihat lingkungan dan diri mereka sendiri. Setidaknya dua kepribadian ini secara berulang memegang kendali penuh atas tubuh si individu.

Kriteria diagnosis

Terdapat empat kriteria untuk mendiagnosis gangguan identitas disosiatif pada seseorang, yakni:

Kehadiran dua atau lebih kepribadian yang berbeda dalam diri orang tersebut.
Kepribadian tersebut dapat mengendalikan perilaku orang tersebut (Switching).
Ketidak-mampuan untuk mengingat informasi penting yang melebihi kelupaan pada normalnya.
Gangguan bukan karena efek psikologis langsung dari suatu zat atau kondisi medis umum seperti demam.

Dari empat poin ini, poin nomor 3 memegang peranan sangat penting. 98 persen mereka yang mengidap DID mengalami amnesia ketika sebuah identitas muncul (switching). Ketika kepribadian utama berhasil mengambil alih kembali, ia tidak bisa mengingat apa yang telah terjadi ketika identitas sebelumnya berkuasa

Tanda dan gejala

Penderita gangguan identitas disosiatif memiliki gejala-gejala sebagai berikut:

Depersonalisasi dan derealisasi

Penderita mengalami perasaan tidak nyata, merasa terpisah dari diri sendiri baik secara fisik maupun mental. Penderita merasa seperti mengamati dirinya sendiri, seolah-olah mereka sedang menonton diri mereka dalam sebuah film. Penderita merasa tidak mendiami tubuh mereka sendiri dan menganggap diri sebagai orang yang asing atau tidak nyata.

Mengalami distorsi waktu, amnesia, dan penyimpangan waktu

Penderita kerap kali mengalami kehilangan waktu, dimana kadang-kadang mereka menemukan sesuatu yang tidak diketahuinya, ataupun tersadar disuatu tempat yang tidak dikenal, sementara mereka tidak sadar kapan pergi ketempat itu.

Sakit kepala dan Perilaku menyakiti diri sendiri Sampai keinginan bunuh diri

Penderita seringkali merasa sakit kepala, dan mendengar banyak suara-suara dikepalanya (mirip dengan gejala skizofrenia). Beberapa kepribadian mendorongnya untuk menyakiti dirinya sendiri bahkan sampai melakukan tindakan bunuh diri.

Fluktuasi tingkat kemampuan dan gambaran diri

Berubah-ubahnya kondisi penderita terjadi saat satu kepribadian bertukar dengan kepribadian lain. Misalnya, saat kepribadian A muncul, maka kepribadian tersebut adalah kepribadian yang mempunyai kemampuan berhitung yang bagus. Sementara saat kepribadian lain muncul, kemampuan kepribadian A pun menghilang. Jadi, kemampuannya berubah tergantung dari kepribadian mana yang muncul. Begitu juga dengan gambaran dirinya, berfluktuasi sesuai kehadiran setiap kepribadian.

Kecemasan dan depresi

Individu umumnya mengalami kecemasan dan depresi karena berulang kali mengalami hal-hal yang tidak diingatnya.

Penyebab

Ada beberapa faktor yang dapat menyebabkan gangguan identitas disosiatif, yaitu:

Kemampuan bawaan untuk memisahkan kepribadian dengan mudah.
Pelecehan seksual pada masa kecil yang berulang.
Kurangnya orang yang melindungi ataupun menghibur dari pengalaman buruk yang dialami.
Pengaruh dari anggota keluarga lain yang memiliki gangguan psikologis.

Penyebab utama gangguan identitas disosiatif sebenarnya adalah trauma berkepanjangan yang dialami pada masa kanak-kanak. Trauma tersebut terbentuk akibat beragam penyiksaan dan pelecehan, seperti: penyiksaan dan pelecehan seksual, kekerasan fisik, kekerasan secara psikologis, dan juga ritual-ritual aneh yang menyakiti sang korban (Satanic Ritual Abuse).

Kisah Penderita Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)

2011-11-01T21:41:00.000+07:00

Selain Sybil dengan kisah seorang wanita dengan 16 kepribadiannya, Lalu misteri lainnya adalah yang menyangkut kasus Billy Milligan yang dianggap sebagai kasus DID yang paling menarik. Kisah hidupnya pernah dituangkan ke dalam sebuah buku berjudul “24 wajah Billy”.

Billy adalah seorang mahasiswa yang dihukum karena memperkosa beberapa wanita. Dalam sesi pemeriksaan kejiwaan, ditemukan 24 identitas berbeda dalam dirinya.

Identitas yang mengaku bertanggung jawab atas tindakan pemerkosaan itu adalah seorang wanita. Identitas lain bernama Arthur yang merupakan orang Inggris dan memiliki pengetahuan luas.

Dalam interogasi, Arthur ternyata bisa mengungkapkan keahliannya dalam hal medis, padahal Billy tidak pernah mempelajari soal-soal medis. Menariknya, Arthur ternyata lancar berbahasa Arab. Bahasa ini juga tidak pernah dipelajari oleh Billy. Identitas lain bernama Ragen bisa berbicara dalam bahasa Serbia Kroasia. Billy juga tidak pernah mempelajari bahasa ini.

Bagaimana Billy bisa berbicara dalam semua bahasa itu jika ia tidak pernah mempelajarinya?

Misteri ini belum terpecahkan hingga hari ini.

Kecuali tentu saja kalau kita menganggap Billy hanya mengalami kasus kerasukan setan dan tidak menderita DID.

SYBIL, KISAH NYATA SEORANG WANITA DENGAN 16 KEPRIBADIAN

2011-11-01T21:00:00.000+07:00

Nama asli Sybil adalah Shirley Ardell Mason. Dia dilahirkan di Minnesota, Amerika, pada tanggal 25 Januari 1923 dan meninggal pada usia 75 tahun. Tepatnya 26 Februari 1998.

Keluarga Sybil merupakan salah satu orang terkaya di kotanya. Namun, karena krisis ekonomi tahun 1929, mereka jatuh miskin. Latar belakang kedua orangtuanya dari kalangan orang berada. Ayahnya merupakan keturunan pendiri kota tempat tinggalnya, sedangkan ibunya merupakan anak seorang walikota. Sybil sendiri adalah anak tunggal mereka (setelah sebelumnya pasangan ini mengalami keguguran).

Walter dan Martha Alice Hageman Mason adalah seorang yang taat beragama, demikian pula dengan penduduk kota tempat Sybil kecil lahir. Memang zaman mereka hidup adalah zaman dimana orang yang tak beragama akan dijauhi dan dianggap kafir. Jadi memiliki satu agama adalah syarat untuk bisa diterima di masyarakat.

Sekilas, dari analisis kita, keluarga Mason adalah keluarga yang sukses, ideal, dan bahagia. Di mata penduduk kota Dodge Center, Minnesota, setiap orang yang melihat Shierly selalu melihatnya digandeng oleh ibunya. Sungguh pasangan ibu dan anak yang bahagia, Namun apa yang tampak dari luar baik, tidak selalu sesuai dengan kenyataan sebenarnya.

Ketika bapaknya berangkat kerja, dimulailah kejadian - kejadian yang mengerikan yang dilakukan oleh ibu Sybil. Diantaranya :

Mengikatnya di bawah kaki piano ketika ibunya sedang bermain dengan pianonya.
Memukulnya ketika Sybil menanyakan sesuatu kepadanya.
Memasukan selang dan air ke dalam anus dan vaginanya. Kadang baterai, tongkat, boneka, gesper, sepatu, dan benda - benda lainnya.
Memaksa Sybil melihat ibunya masturbasi
Memasukkan kelereng ke hidup Sybil, melemparkan sybil seperti bola, menyeterika tangan Sybil, dan mengikat sapu ke lehernya.
Dan segala bentuk kekerasan lainnya

Pendeknya, masa kecil Sybil dipenuhi dengan kekerasan, pelecehan seksual, dan kemunafikan. Ketika melakukan semua hal ini, Martha sering tertawa kegirangan. Loh, apakah ayah Sybil tidak mengetahui hal ini? Tangan anak kecil yang kena setrika bukanlah hal yang sepele. Namun, ayahnya sepertinya acuh tak acuh dan "memberikan persetujuan" atas tindakan ini. Bukannya mencari tahu penyebabnya, Walter Mason malah mengabaikannya dan menasihatnnya dengan Firman Tuhan.

Dr. Cornelia Wilbur

Tidak ada jalan keluar dari penyiksaan ini, tidak ada pertolongan dari orang lain, dan juga kemunafikan membuat Sybil mengalami masalah psikologi yang disebut Dr. Cornelia Wilbur sebagai masalah kepribadian majemuk atau dissociative identity disorder.

Melalui analisis yang dilakukannya selama 11 tahun terhadap Sybil (dimulai tahun 1954). Dia menemukan 16 kepribadian yang berbeda dalam satu tubuh Sybil.

Mereka adalah :

- Sybil Isabel Dorsett
- Victoria Antoinette Scharleau
- Peggy Lou Baldwin
- Peggy Ann Baldwin
- Mary Lucinda Saunders Dorsett
- Marcia Lynn Dorsett
- Vanessa Gail Dorsett
- Mike Dorsett
- Sid Dorsett
- Nancy Lou Ann Baldwin
- Sybil Ann Dorsett
- Ruthie Dorsett
- Clara Dorsett
- Helen Dorsett
