Attitude Adjustment Tools

Attitude adjustment is a challenge.

My simple general definition of attitude is the orientation of one mind in the world of minds.

This means that in order to accomplish attitude adjustments you have to know these three things:

• your own mind,
• the mind of others,and
• how to synchronize minds.

It is from this kind of perspective that I have begun to assemble a variety of tools that teach attitude.

I am organizing the tools into basic, advanced and mastery levels as if it is a game.

• Basic Attitude Adjustment provides the most fundamental skills that simply allow you to play the game.
• Advanced level enables you to begin to develp some skills and strategies within the game.
• Mastery level enables you to truly understand the dynamics of the game and create variations that transcend the original game.

Basic:

• Knowing Your Own Mind

  • Wild Divine Project: Learn meditative techniques via biofeedback controlled video games.
    
    

  • Cellerciser: Use gravity to your advantage by exercising every cell in your body simultaneously.
    

• Knowing Other Minds

  • Emotional Expression Training Tools: Professor Paul Ekman's Micro Expression Training Tool And Subtle Expression Training Tool (Apparently not currently available.)

  • Mind Reading: University of Cambridge's comprehensive emotional volcabulary tool.

• Synchronizing Minds
  • Piano Wizard Academy: Learn to play piano via a fun and challenging video game. (Also enhances math skills.)
    

  • Laughter Yoga: the instant attitude adjustment. My local club in S.E. Portland. International School of Laughter Yoga.

Advanced:

• Democratic Schooling (read more here)
• Schools of Conscience Basic Framework (More information coming soon.)

Mastery:

• Mending the Sacred Hoop: Taking the Moral Path of Fulfillment (More information coming soon.)
• Schools of Conscience Advanced Framework (More information coming soon.)

• Attitude:Positive Attitude in Reality
  Positive attitude is more than thinking good thoughts, it's the ability to access a beneficial state of mind regardless of your situation.

  • Why Teach Attitude?
    We must teach attitude because it is more elementary than teaching academics, so if children don't master atttiude first, they are being cheated.

  • Attitude Simplified
    Attitude is how you arrange the mental furniture of your body/mind re-creational vehicle as you explore the world of your experiences.

  • Minds Are More Than You Think: Towards a General Definition of Attitude
    Your mind is more than you think. In my current definition of attitude your mind extends beyond your body in things around you and the behavior of other people.

  • Metaphorical Definition of Attitude: It's a Matter of Life or Death
    Attitude is the one factor that predicts survival in disaster. Teachers need a metaphorical definition of attitude that helps them anticipate the true needs of learners.

  • Technical Definition of Attitude
    Educators need a technical definition of attitude to be able to develop objective measures of teaching attitude successfully.

  • Re-reading Viktor Frankl's Man’s Search For Meaning: Writing In Spite of My Schooling
    Starting with Viktor Frankl's quote about attitude learn how the stories we are told, and tell ourselves, create who we are.
