Hello World!
As you all know I am a student as well as a mom and all that other stuff (LOL)
And I am taking Speech 204 or Critical Listening at CSU. I love this class and I love my professor. Her name is Dr. Wilner and she is too fabulous. Anyhoo, she introduced us to this new method called "Dr. J's Listening Formula and it looks like this:
S (Sleep)
+
N (Nutrition)
+
E (Exercise)
+
BP
(Body Position)
+
CP (Cognitive Purpose)
EPL
(Effective Pre-Listening)
I mean c'mon! Is that not like so awesome. This woman is teaching that overall wellness will lead to you becoming a better listener. And once you learn to listen EFFECTIVELY you will be able to process information so much better. I like the sound of that! I know a feww men who should take this course (and some sistahs too truth be told).
Ok. So you're wondering "I know what sleep, nutrition and exercise mean, but WTH is Body Position and Cognitive Purpose???
Body Position is pretty much your posture and where you are physically in regards to whom or what ever you are listening to. And Cognitive Purpose is, well a lot more difficult to explain LOL
Let's break down these words:
Cognitive: basically is the process of acquiring knowledge or just like knowing stuff. And you know what purpose means and if you don't (retard cough cough xD) >>>Click Here<<<.
So what you need to do is knowingly create a goal (in Lamesn terms) and see it through. How simple is that??? But here is the kicker. You need to create a cognitive purpose for all the things at the very top of your mental "Priority List". Say what??? You don't have one of those either...SMH wooo chile!
This is my most recent cognitive purpose for my hardest class I am taking (ART 208 Life Drawing)
"Learn something new that I did not know before entering class, reflect on it and analyze how to apply it to everyday life."
I like to create a mental C.P. twice a week for things that I find to be challenging (like my art class). this helps me to maintain my mental composure and focus on a specific objective. Bc idk about you ,but when I think something is hard I sike myself out and then end up not doing so hot. This helps me to go into "the ring" with a target. And it helps to write it in a journal or in my daily planner so I can look back over recent C.P.'s and keep going forward. I'm telling you there is something to this and I like it. maybe next I'll begin to create C.P.'s for my hair. hmmmmmmmmm

Greetings! What is your opinion on advertisements put on blogs?
ReplyDeleteI think advertisements on blogs is just fine:) as long as the ad content is relevant to the main ideas in the blog itself. For example: I wouldn't wanna see an ad about fishing on a skateboard blog or whatever. Lol just sayin? What about you? What do you think?
