The sign of high quality is the fact the book was banned by the government. Trash literature NEVER EVER had any troubles with the law.

Learn to go with the flow of life , that doesn’t mean to aimlessly drift through life , just not resist it , but instead work with what it presents you , it’s all for your benefit , although in the moment we don’t always see that , the universe has your best interests at heart , hold that thought always , and live in alignment with it , it’s aligning with the universal energy that creates the planets and the stars !

#9 if you are ever kidnapped or you think that you’re about to be murdered scratch and scratch. Get his DNA under your nails. That way he will be caught if something happens to you

#if you’re trapped in a car and you think you’ll be killed. Leave a piece of yourself there. A fingernail, some hair, anything that can place you there.

Are your cognitive attributions affecting how you see others & yourself? (Pt.1)

What is an attribution?

It’s a mental 🧠 process we use to determine why a behavior has occurred.

2 types of attributions:

Disposition: these are internal factors.

For example: Jason didn’t come to the meeting because he is lazy 🙄.

Situational: these are external factors.

For example: Jason didn’t come to the meeting because he is sick 🤒 .

Types of biases:

Based on those two types of attributions. We can create biased 🤔 conclusions.

1. Fundamental attribution error: we attribute the behavior of others to internal factors (disposition) while minimizing external factors (situational)

For example: Thinking Amanda didn’t come to work because she is lazy. When the truth is she was in a car crash and ended up in the hospital 🏥 due to injuries.

Problem: this type of attribution is unfair to others. We never know what they might be going through. We should give each other the benefit of the doubt before judging.

2. Actor-observer effect: we attribute the behavior of others to internal factors. While attributing our own to situational factors.

For example: Luis didn’t pass the test 📝 because he is lazy & didn’t study, but I didn’t pass it because I had a migraine 🤕.

Problem: not only is this unfair to others, but this attribution can take away our power to control situations. In some cases it can be used as an excuse to dismiss your real behavior in situations.

4. Self-service prejudice: the tendency to attribute internal factors to our success, while attributing external factors to our failures.

For example: I didn’t pass the math class because the teacher 👩‍🏫 was against me, but I did pass music 🎸 because I practiced a lot.

Problem: although situational factors can affect the outcome of a situation. This type of attribution is mostly used to dismiss our own maladaptive behaviors.

We all have used these attributions in our life. It isn’t helpful to attribute external factors to our internal ones. Sure, situational factors in our daily life can & will affect our behavior. But that doesn’t mean we should use it as an excuse for our maladaptive behaviors. It’s okay to take responsibility for our actions. Not only that but, quickly judging others isn’t fair to them either.

5 Types of Boundaries 🙅‍♀️

Mental 🧠

You are allowed to have your own thoughts, beliefs & opinions. If someone doesn’t agree with you then the both of you can agree to disagree respectfully.

Time / Energy ⏰

This type of boundary revolves around time, favors, & the appropriate time to contact you. For example, if your friend is going to be late they should let you know on time.

Emotional 🙂

It is important to have boundaries around topics you aren’t willing to discuss and for others to not throw at you all their problems when you aren’t emotionally available. For example, stating, “I am beyond stressed today, are you available for me to discuss with you what happened?”

Physical 👫

This type of boundary involves physical proximity and unwanted comments regarding your physical appearance. This also includes sexual comments. For example, saying, “I don’t like your comment, I’d appreciate it if you don’t say that again.”

Material 🔐

This type of boundary sets limits on how and when your possessions should be used. For example, not giving your social media password to your boyfriend / girlfriend.

Decision Making Tip

Decision making can be overwhelming. This tip will help you prioritize.

Step # 1:

Grab a piece of paper 📝 and draw the image above.

Step # 2:

In the ‘Urgent & Important’ square write down deadlines 🗓 and scheduled things you need to do.

Step # 3:

In the ‘Not Urgent but Important’ square write down personal things that are important to you, such as, goals 🏅 and hobbies.

Step # 4:

In the ‘Urgent but Not Important’ square write down things that you need to do, but you find boring or unimportant. For example, running errands and cleaning 🧹.

Step # 5:

In the ‘Not Urgent & Not Important’ square write down things and situations that distract you. For example, social media and television 📺.

Once you finish evaluate the things you need to do:

1. ‘Urgent & Important’ tasks should be done right away.

2. ‘Not Urgent & Not Important’ tasks should be postponed.

3. ‘Not Urgent but Important’ tasks should be done quickly after you finish the tasks you need to do right away.

4. ‘Urgent but Not Important’ tasks can shared between people. For example, maintaining a clean house. One person can be in charge of the kitchen, while the other works in the back yard.
