The Feeler
The Feeler uses language to express emotion.

How to recognize a Feeler:
She’s an empath and wants to connect, make you feel comfortable. If you’re not doing so well, she’ll try to figure out a way to help you.

How to get a Feeler to cooperate:
Listen for signals that she is overwhelmed or exhausted. The Feeler needs to hear two things: One, that you understand she’s having difficultiessomething like: “I’m sorry you’re having such a hard time. I don’t want to make things more difficult for you.” Second, explain that she’s the best one to help you: “I’m in trouble and I need your advice; you’re so good in situations like this.” Being a rescuer is the role she lives to fill, but she wants to be acknowledged for it. When she feels appreciated, she’ll be ready to jump in.

The Sensor
The Sensor is driven by the drumbeat of constant deadline; she’s interested in getting things done quickly.

How to recognize a Sensor:
A Sensor labors under the constant pressure of deadlines and does everythingincluding communicating with youin bursts of very intense energy. She has a short attention span and can make you feel as if you’re taking up too much of her time just by saying hello.

How to get a Sensor to cooperate:
She responds best when she knows you have a plan for getting a task done fast. You need to communicate in easily digestible sound bites, so prepare ahead of time. If you don’t get to the point quickly enough, the Sensor will consider you an additional source of stress. What you want the Sensor to know is that you can help reduce her workload.

The Thinker
The Thinker operates on logic: She loves organization and systems and she likes to see projects through to the bitter end.

How to recognize a Thinker:
These people play by numbers and facts. They are logical and realistic, and they will pop any idealistic balloon by citing a similar situation in which someone failed.

How to get a Thinker to cooperate:
A Thinker loves systems and organization and solving problems. So when she points out inaccuracies or mistakes, let her know that you understand and will fix the problem. She needs to be reassured that you’ll stay grounded in reality and that you’ll be very careful about gathering your research.

The Intuitor
The Intuitor thinks in terms of the conceptual and long-range plans; she’s a problem solver but not necessarily interested in sticking around to implement solutionsshe’d rather move on to the next puzzle.

How to recognize an Intuitor:
She’s the one with the big ideas that you have a hard time understanding. She presents information as though you’re supposed to know exactly what she’s talking about. She doesn’t give any contextno last names of people to whom she’s referring, no company names even though she’s discussing a problem specific to that company. When you ask questions, she gets impatient. She doesn’t realize that you don’t know what’s in her brain.

How to get an Intuitor to cooperate:
Let her talk out her ideas for a while before you begin asking questions. They should be phrased to show her you like her ideas but simply need more details to understand the full picture.

A few tips to bring back the audience and add more ….

+ sign…

I have been just a passive and a positive kind of a person. I really do believe that if it happens it was meant to be and if not there is a million reasons why didn’t push through.

Over the course of growing up and trying to fit into the world I somehow fight for attention and I always said this to myself if you promised it just make sure it can happen or you will be able to fulfilled such promise and over the course of growing up I have been hurt and shut down of so many empty promises.

I guess over the years and part of growing me up I have learned to be more passive and more positive again and this time I have been positive with my thoughts and actions. If things are meant to be it will happened because it is meant to happen. Well, I guess sometimes we just need to give it a push somehow.

We are not rich and there are somethings that we want after all I am just an ordinary human being like you, but lately money has been scarce due to the economic downfall and some job lost but we are trying to get by and the wants was replace with needs.

This needs of trying to survive the day to day living and still trying to make a brighter future. Somehow other people think that we can just pick money from our nearby tree or use some magic spell of the money to appear. I work hard for the money I am earning and to where I am in the company.

I just hope that they understand of how hard life is and has become. We are not pointing fingers we just want you to understand our situation as well.

Think positive and positive energy will flow….

God has and have been good to us and we in return continue to do good to others….

Mr. Moon

As the moon shines on me, on one peaceful evening. I can’t help but notice that my life is changing rapidly and even if I want to stop it, it is still changing.

I sometimes want to stop it or slow it down. I want to enjoy each minute and be reminded of how precious life it.

Let’s not hoard ill feeling to one another and stop procasinating. Do what you can do for tomorrow is another day.

Thanks for my Mom who pushes us to do what we need to do today and tomorrow is another day that holds no boundaries.

I have learned to live life one day at a time. I used to plan my whole week and if something comes up or happened I would literally get upset for it ruined my plan and later I learned that is happens for a reason and from then on I started to live my life one day at a time, enjoying each moment as if it was my last.

Hold My Hand…

A whole lot of things to comprehend and a whole lot of compromising situation. Here I am trying my best to be patient, understanding and respectful. It’s hard but at least I am trying my very best to be open to a lot of options and suggestions.

I just hope that I can withstand and last a little bit longer. I ignore a lot of negativity but sometimes it’s just overwhelming. I keep praying for more strength and more patient everyday.

I know that I am strong and I can surpass this. I just hope you are with me every step of the way.

Hold my hand and we will make it each step of the way.

10 Shortcuts…

1. Trade crunches for Pilates.

To firm up the muscles beneath your love handles—known as the external obliques—try the Pilates “100s.” This exercise was found to challenge more overall muscle in one shot (specifically, the muscles spanning the waist) than traditional crunches, according to a new study by Michele Olson, Ph.D., at Auburn University in Montgomery, Ala. To do the 100s, sit on a mat and make a V with your body (your butt forms the bottom of the V). Reach your hands past your knees, arms parallel to the floor. Pump your arms up and down 100 times, inhaling and exhaling every five counts.

2. Grab a ball.

Women who did their ab workouts with a stability ball beneath their glutes and lower back got bonus benefits, in a study from the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research. The women used both their abs and their back muscles, key for making you stand tall and look slender.

If you’re not doing abs now, don’t start on the ball—this can damage your spinal disks, says abdominal-training expert Stuart McGill, Ph.D., author of Ultimate Back Fitness and Performance. Build strength and stability off of the ball first.

Try “Crossover Crunches”: In the standard crunch position, bring one shoulder toward your opposite knee. Hold for two to three counts. Start with five to 10 reps on each side. Progress to 10 counts and 20 reps. Do this three times a week, and you can move to the ball after three weeks.

3. Let your back come off the floor.

When lying on your back with your knees bent, you should be able to get your fingers under the hollow of your lower back. Maintaining your back’s normal curve lets you work your abs without straining your spine, according to McGill. Instead of sucking your navel to the floor, “brace” your abs as if someone were about to punch you in the stomach. Keep that tension (and the arch) while doing ab work.

4. Add weight, not repetitions.

Your abs are just like your biceps: To make them stronger and tighter, you don’t need 500 reps. Instead, try grabbing a three- or five-pound weight. Place it behind your head or on your chest and do one set of eight to 15 sit-ups, working up to more sets as you get stronger.

5. Slow down.

You’ll get the body you want faster by doing 10 slow repetitions instead of 20 fast ones. Moving slowly—two counts up and two counts down—allows you to use more precise form, which can stimulate your muscles better and make them stronger, says Rodney Corn of the National Academy of Sports Medicine. (The faster you go, the more likely you are to use momentum instead of your abs.) Your muscles should feel tired in 15 reps.

6. Lift weights one arm at a time.

Your core muscles get a workout when you exercise on an unstable base—like when you’re standing on one leg or on top of a wobbly rubber disk—because your weight is off-center, causing your core to kick in a little harder. Similarly, when you do upperbody moves one arm at a time, the off-centeredness gives ab and back muscles an extra challenge.

7. Invest in cardio.

To show off the abs of steel you’ve been building, 30 minutes of cardio gets you farther than 30 minutes of crunches. To burn off the layer of fat that’s hiding your muscles, ab-specific contractions just don’t do the trick, says Len Kravitz, Ph.D., professor of exercise physiology at the University of New Mexico. Ab moves burn about two to six calories per minute, while cardio blasts 10 or 12.

8. Try Chinese food.

A standard turkey sandwich on whole wheat has a measly four grams of fiber. The problem? Studies show that people who eat more fiber tend to be leaner and have smaller waistlines than people who don’t eat as much of it. Better: A serving of chow mein with extra broccoli and brown rice has about 10 grams of fiber. Worried about the sodium in Chinese food? It’s a myth that sodium noticeably changes the appearance your abs, says Liz Applegate, Ph.D., director of sports nutrition at University of California, Davis.

9. Choose the cookie with sugar.

Many sugar-free cookies are sweetened with sugar alcohols, which can cause gas and bloating, says Leslie Bonci, director of sports nutrition at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. To skip these sweeteners, avoid ingredients ending in “-ol,” including sorbitol, lactitol, and maltitol. Many sugarfree versions, by the way, have almost as many calories as the originals. Other artificial sweeteners, such as sucralose (Splenda) and aspartame (NutraSweet), don’t appear to have the same bloating effect.

10. Have three seltzers this week.

Swapping alcohol for seltzer or another beverage can slim your waist. That’s because calories metabolized from alcohol are more prone to be stored as fat around the belly, says Applegate. Of course, going low-cal is even more slimming: Skipping three pomegranate martinis a week trims about 2300 calories a month. That’s eight pounds of fat per year.

Lately, I have been bad and from that I have gained the weight I had lose. But because of exercise and how dedicated I am again, Pilates always makes it easier to be back and strong. It never fails me.
