Test its concentration capacity This test it will just take five minutes; everything that you will need is of a clock with regressive contagem, so that you don't have to be verifying the time at all times.
The test is very simple: for five minutes you should simply tell its inspirations.
He/she sits down in a comfortable position, maintaining the column ereta supported in the encosto of the chair. Close the eyes and breathe deeply two or three times. Leave the breathing then to flow usually.
Every time that you to inspire, count quietly: a "...... two "...... three "...... up to " ten ", and then resume.
But attention: whenever you notice that he/she amused, he/she forgot to count an inspiration, it was in doubt on which would be the next number, or he/she simply began to think in any other thing... be which the reason, all time that you to notice goes that it was not concentrated in the contagem, it should restart the contagem starting from " one ".
Does it seem simple, not? Try.
Resulted For simpler than this exercise can seem, practically nobody gets to complete it without amusing. In fact, most of the people amuses with so much frequency that hardly gets to complete an only sequence!


Se isto aconteceu com você, não se assuste: é perfeitamente normal.

A history zen exists on a man and a horse. The horse is galloping quickly, and it seems that the man that he/she/it rides drives to some important place. Does another man, in foot beside the highway, scream: " where you are going "? and the man to horse answers: I don't " know. Ask the horse "!

Other old texts call this mind of " monkey " mind, jumping of tree in tree.
The one that this exercise demonstrates is that, although we have the tendency of believing that we controlled our mind, the truth is the opposite: our mind is that controls us.
For this reason, of all the techniques of mental development that you will learn, the techniques of development of the concentration are the most important.
I use of the respiraçãp 1. Seek a silent, pleasant place and it is positioned comfortably. 2. Begin to notice its breathing: it feels that the air enters and he/she leaves the nostrils; it feels the air pressing them; it feels the lung to grow and to decrease with the entrance of the air; it feels the diaphragm to expand. 3. Tell its breathing: it considers the inspiration cycle and expiration as a breathing. 4. Count the breathing number that you do - naturally - in one minute. 5. Then, we will learn the techniques to alter the breathing. 6. For while, just consider the normal breathing. 7. Start to THINK in something FIXED. 1. Suggestion: he/she Thinks of a color. 8. It is a difficult exercise, but if you pass for him, it will be prepared for the other ones. 9. Mentalize a color of its preference. 10. Usually breathe and constantly think of that color. 11. Don't leave its mind to stray of the objective. 12. Mentalize the color until when you cannot, finding the nuances of the colors, trying to SEE the color (you won't probably get, but what interests it is the concentration attempt). 13. Be not impatient. The objective is exactly the opposite: to teach it to relax and to FLOW the life naturally. 14. The next exercises will have that I objectify: to link the breathing to the techniques of Mental Development.
This test won't take more than two minutes. Read this list of 20 words sincerely, an only time, and try to reproduce it soon after, in a paper leaf, in the same order in that were presented.
* Wing * Tissue * Knot * Hand * I Stripe * Moon * Tea * Dog * Airplane * Ox * Sweet * Given * Tunnel * Atom * Earth * it Roofs * Torch * he/she Plays * Couch * how many words Water Writes down you got to remind correctly, and repeat the exercise after reading this chapter.
You will be surprised when noticing that it can memorize lists of dozens or hundreds of words, without any difficulty. Don't believe? Continue reading, and check in the practice!
This technique seeks aprimorar the work in group for the generation of ideas, having been applied with success to different groups and in several situations. The application of the technique just demands a leaf in white for each participant and a subject-trigger to be answered by the group, and the experience, diversity and the extremely important healthy participants' knowledge for the good results of the work, as well as the a moderator's presence that guarantees the correct application of the technique. Starting from the opening of the meeting, with the presentation of the objectives and importance of the project, and the characterization of the analyzed dimension, it should be presented the general methodology of the work and the subject trigger regarding the identification of the facts carriers of the future.
The process of “Brainwriting” it consists of the following steps: 1. The participant guests should sit down around a table and each one should receive a leaf in white with to subject-trigger; 2. Starting from the moderator's indication, each participant should write 3 synthetic answers in 3 minutes (without vindicative) on to analyzed subject-trigger; 3. To the warning of 3 minutes, to pass the answer leaf for the neighbor to the left; 4. Each one should read what received and to write more 3 different answers than it was already written–it can be built on the suitable answers, to oppose or to ignore them, presenting new independent ideas of the suitable ones (he/she should not already repeat ideas registered); 5. The process should be repeated at least 4 times; eventually it can be continued the wheeled ones until that the contributions are drained. 6. Drained the generated ideas, it should be illuminated, to discuss and to consolidate and the results, in groups or sub-groups, depending on the number of participants; 7. If it is necessary to select the best ideas, a synthesis can be made in each subgrupo.
The intrinsic characteristics to the technique promote a great production of ideas in a short interval of time, maximizando the use of the knowledge and the invited participants' experience. The communication through the circulation of the papers stimulates the generation of new ideas, when presenting new thought lines to each wheeled one. There is great volume of generated ideas, factor that is potencializado for the pressure to produce to each wheeled one. Besides, there is a participation of everybody, without the domain of the discussion for one of the participants, which a lot of times happen in meetings witness. At the end, there are the discussion possibility and debate of ideas, and an interesting factor is exactly the separation of the generation phases and of critical analysis, what turns the most creative, structured and productive process than an usual session of “brainstorming.”
The Psychology is the science that studies the behavior, the mental processes and the relationship among them in the whole domain in that enter the behaviors you observed (to run, to walk, to speak, etc) as well as you no-observed yourselves (to think, to be moved, etc). In the fund the magic formula of the Psychology is: R = f(S\leftrightarrow P) that is to say, Resposta/Comportamento R varies in function of the relationship between Situação/Meio and Personalidade/Indivíduo. This relationship will approach more ahead at the end of the 1st chapter.
The disciplines of the Psychology are tied up to the study of the personality, of the learning, of the memory, of the intelligence, of the nervous system and of the inter-personal relationships, of the human development, of the processes psicoterapeuticos, of the rest and of the dream, of the pleasure and of the pain, of the life and of the death... perhaps, due to these last ones, it is observed plenty the Psychology as an occult science according to the common sense, even so she is really a trustworthy science.
