They are clipart images. Some of these images were possibly drawn by hand, while others have probably been drawn using computer software.

I hope this helps answer your question.

Hi Meena,

Sounds like a very interesting endeavor. I wish you the greatest of success with it.

I don't have any links to specific research that you are looking for. However, Chuck from http://www.mindmappingsoftware... might have some answers. Also Vic from http://www.mind-mapping.org/ might also be able to help. Also Toni from http://www.conciselearning.com... might be able to provide you with some answers.

Please also have a read of Tony Buzan's mind mapping book - http://www.amazon.com/The-Mind...

In fact, any books written by Tony Buzan might be of great help.

I hope this helps you with your research.

Re: Simple Ways to Get a Better Night’s Sleep

Adam Sicinski — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 05:05:43 -0000

From personal experience, reading before going to sleep can be quite relaxing and can help promote the feelings of drowsiness. However, reading in bed might anchor the emotions you experience while reading your book to your bed. In the long-term this might interfere with your sleep.

I would continue reading before bed, but just not on the bed.

I hope this helps.

They are great tips. I have been applying some of them unintentionally. A few years ago I realized I don’t like TV or a PC in the bedroom. I would like have a calm space.
Now I have question. What about reading and keeping books and magazines and do some reading before sleep? What would be its effect on sleep quality?

Absolutely. Very well put. Being "solution" focused is the key.

Hi Adam

Thanks for the reply and clearing up my confusion for me.

In a way why, how, what questions are just like tools, its the context in where you use them determines the outcome (negative or positive). Key being to use the questions with a solution focused mindset.

Cheers,
David

Re: How Questions Can Transform Your Life

Adam Sicinski — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 18:13:42 -0000

"Why" questions are normally asked using a negative context. When you use them to blame yourself; to feel sorry for yourself; to get sympathy from others, that is when they hurt us by directing our thoughts on problems and things we can't control instead of solutions.

Alternatively you can use "Why" questions in a positive context when you are looking for solutions. For instance you could ask:

- Why is this happening?
- What can I do about it?
- How could I use this to my advantage?

In this context the "Why" question laid down the foundations for the "What" and "How" question that followed.

In another context you could ask:

- Why is this happening?
- Why does my luck never change?
- Why do bad things always happen to me?

In this scenario the "Why" question was used in a negative way that doesn't lead to any concrete solutions. Instead it focuses you on the problem and on the things you don't seem to be able to control.

So by all means feel free to ask "Why" questions as long as they help you focus on solutions, not problems.

For the purpose of this article I separated the questions into "How" and "Why" questions in order to simplify things.

Finally, every "Why" question you ask can in fact be replaced with a "How". For instance earlier I asked:

- Why is this happening?

Instead I could ask:

- How is this happening?

The "How" (even though a little unconventional) question immediately puts me into a "solution-focused" frame-of-mind. From there I can ask additional questions that will help me solve the problem I am facing:

- What is interesting about this?
- How is this important and relevant?
- What can I learn from this?
- How can I work my way through this problem quickly, effectively and efficiently?

I hope this helps to explain the differences.

After reading through the section on "weaking why questions" it made me a little confused about if I should ask any why questions at all. Is there also "strengthing why questions" that instead of providing excuses provides answers/reasons that benefit investigation / exploration of problems?

Thanks for the iqmatrixs and information

Goal setting is the most important factor to attain success. Goals are the one that motivates and encourages us to strive hard and reach for it. In our team we set our goals every year and we try hard to achieve it. Of course with team efforts we made it.

A must read stuff. Thanks for this. Worth to share with my friends.

Re: Simple Strategies for Losing Weight

Mike — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 15:49:51 -0000

Yoga is the start for your weight loss. Being able to fight stress and depression in order to lose weight. Once you are relaxed and ready, it's time for motivation and a bit of determination. Oatmeal is another great thing to add as that helps you have a healthy heart and helps with weight loss in general.
