MAKE BETTER DECISIONS HOW TO KNOW YOU ARE THINKING STRAIGHT

THE WEALTH IN LISTENING REFLECTIONS

WHAT YOUR CHILD NEEDS FROM YOU CONCRETE STRATEGIES TO HELP PARENTS BUILD MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEIR CHILDREN.

A STEP FORWARD

Editor’s note Were you raised by parents who continually told you what a good person you were, who loved you, encouraged you, supported you, and believed in you, no matter what you did or didn’t do, you would grow up with the belief that you were a good and valuable person. By the age of three, this belief would lock in and become a funda- mental part of the way you view yourself in relation to your world. Thereafter, no matter what happens to you, you would hold to this belief. It would become your reality.

If you were raised by parents who did not know how powerful their words and behaviors could be in shaping your personality, they could very easily have used destructive criticism, disapproval, and physical or emotional punishment to discipline or control you. When a child is continually criticized at an early age, he soon con- cludes that there is something wrong with him. He doesn’t under- stand why it is that he is being criticized or punished, but he assumes that his parents know the truth about him, and that he de- serves it. He begins to feel that he is not valuable or lovable. He is not worth very much. He must therefore be worthless.

Nhano Magazine is a more of an Inspirational and Motivational Magazine. We look into various aspects of Life creating stories in a way that people can be inspired and motivated, so it might be sport, lifestyle entertainment or even politics it all centers on inspiration and motivation.

This is a small Edition of Nhano Magazine but it holds cool stories that i believe can change people’s lives in diferent ways. We have certain topics like ’What your child needs from you, How to start over, How to make better decisions’ These topics are under a subject of Mental Health.

There is also a story on Khama Billiat’s Football career which we believe can help inspire many people oughting to persue sport as their careers especially here in Zimbabwe,he is a good example having a background of many parents contradicting sporting careers. )HZPJHSS` [OH[Z [OL Z\TTHY` VM [OPZ ÄYZ[ LKP[PVU VM 5OHUV 4HNHaPUL LUQV` `V\Y KH` HUK OH]L H NVVK reading.

The Wealth In Listening

By MistaBrown With the current economic crunch in Zimbabwe biting, the struggle to put food on the table overwhelms a lot of issues. Concerns relating to relationships whether social, friendship, family or/and marital are being relegated into a shade of triviality.

Still, after a day of hustling, hard work and coping with life’s struggles- the desire for purposeful and meaningful human interaction PZ Z[PSS M\UKHTLU[HS >L Z[PSS OH]L [V YLÅLJ[ VU the manner we relate to other people around us, be it friends, relatives, family, colleagues, partners or in our community.

This is usually achieved by assessing these relationships with a sober and fair approach.

This is not usually a walk in the park as it involves a lot of giving; giving attention, giving a shoulder to cry on and this usually involves a lot of tolerance. Giving second chances and forgiving comes from a deliberate and executed desire to be a better person, foster love and goodwill while healing past wounds. )\[ V\[ VM HSS [OL ZHJYPÄJLZ [OH[ JHU IL THKL listening ranks amongst the hardest though undoubtedly the most effective. Listening takes patience, tolerance and a heart willing to heal and be healed. How many times have we heard this cry, “You are not listening to me” or, “His problem is he just want to talk, but he does not want to listen to others” Usually when we differ in opinion with people that we are close to, it is usually an emotional affair. And the deeper our relationship with these people are, the more bitter and emotional our differences. It shouldn’t be so if we make a deliberate effort to be tolerant enough to listen to their side of the story. The same effort we use to go to lengths to get them to see our point of view should be the same we use to listen to their opinions too. Differences are inevitable and a lot of humanity is needed to listen to divergent views. it is common to reject the other person’s opinion without thinking what they are trying to put across. That is when the dust has settled, shame and guilt kicks in as you wonder what you were really on about and if it was worth it. When you take a position, you block your ears and your reasoning, and everything appears black and white; it either you are right or they are wrong and that can be obsessive compulsive.

Listening calms the other person as you hand them control that they will hand back to you after they are done.

A hot exchange of words, and taking a position can only antagonize everybody and perpetuate the hurt and pain. Hasty regrets and half-baked pleas for forgiveness as a way to resolve the impasse will be massaging the surface of the problem and not an ineffective default setting. It simply creates a gulf between people that are supposed to heal.

3PZ[LUPUN PZ H ZPNU VM YLZWLJ[ HUK P[ WHJPÄLZ [OL other party therefore fostering goodwill.

Differences are not always resolved because people have come to an agreement, rather it is more realistic to accept that you see things differently. Listen to the other person’s point of view and respect it even though you believe you are right. Listening to someone says that your relationship is more important than the argument and it takes away the bitterness and you are left with a sweet argument.

At the end of the day you all need each other and its comforting to know there is someone who has time to listen to your opinions, beliefs, feelings, ideas, plans etc. but the best way to do it is by being a listener yourself. And reciting the prayer below might help.

PRAYER: Lord, keep me from the habit of thinking I must say something on every subject and on every occasion.

Release me from craving to straighten out everyone’s affairs.

Keep my mind free from the recital of endless details – give me wings to get to the point.

I ask for grace enough to listen to the tales of other’s pain. Help me endure them with patience and tolerance. But seal my lips sometimes on my own aches and pains as my love for reciting them is getting sweeter by the day.

Teach me the glorious lesson that occasionally it is possible that l may be mistaken.

Keep me reasonably sweet; l do not want to be a saint – some of them are so hard to live with.

Give me the ability to see good things in others and talents in unexpected people. And, give me, O Lord, the grace to tell them so.

Make me thoughtful, but not moody; helpful, but not bossy.

Because Thou knowest Lord, that l want a few friends at the end. See you next time .

How to Start Over

Take a new route:

Taking care of anything holding you back:

Do something different and surprise yourself; you'll probably learn something you didn't know about who you are and what you can do .

One of the best ways to jolt yourself out of a life you're not satisfied with is to do something completely different. Go on a trip to some place you've never been. Start learning a language. â&#x20AC;˘ Even if you think you might be terrible at it, give something new a try. Trying something new things mentally and physically challenges us and also gives us a fresh excitement for life as we can see the endless possibilities of the next day

If you want to make a new way forward, eliminate anything holding you back. For example, if you're in debt, work on paying it off and find a financial counselor. Find even the smallest ways to move forward so that you don't feel stuck.

For example, if you want to move to a new country, begin selling your possessions or put them into storage. Or, if having a car is too expensive, find ways to use public transportation and save money.

â&#x20AC;˘ Yes, the unknown is scary, but it is also equally scary to do what you know and continue down a disappointing and unsatisfying path.

You might feel nervous or insecure about starting over but you need to think about whether this is worse than the disappoint and lack of fulfillment you feel with your life as it stands

Celebrate your progress: Remember to acknowledge all progress toward your new goal. Some of your milestones might be in the very long term and sometimes you can lose sight of what you're working towards. Instead, remember that the long run is a bunch of shorter runs and celebrate your successes along the way. Feel good about each step you take towards that new life

Forgive the people who hurt you: While this can take time, remember that forgiveness is for you, not for anyone else. Make a choice to let go of the hurt, anger, resentment, or pain someone caused you. You don't have to formally forgive them or even communicate to the person at all. Choose to forgive and let go of the pain you feel.

Take responsibility for yourself: Avoid starting over with your life as a way to get back at someone or make a statement in response to another person. Own your choice to start over and do it for yourself and nobody else. Make decisions based off of what you need, not what other people need or expect from you.

While people may offer advice and feedback, remember that you are responsible for your own choices. Listen to what others say, but also do what you need to do.

Accept the past: You can't start over in your life if you're still holding onto the past. Whether be a relationship, job, family or other situation, you need to accept what has happened 1.Acceptance doesn't necessarily mean forgiveness or understanding. It just means that you have realized something has happened, you acknowledged it, and you are ready to move on from it 2.Remember that pain and suffering aren't the same thing. You will feel pain and hurt when you're life isn't going in the direction you want, but you don't have to suffer. Suffering is a choice. Nothing last forever, including pain. So acknowledge it, experience it, and move on from it. Don't center your life around the hurt and the failures; get out of that story and avoid the drama Remember things happen for a reason: The lessons you are to learn won't be obvious; you instead have to discover what your life is telling you. For example, what if you are asked to step down from a position in your career because your ideas for the business are too big or you are taking things in a different direction than what management envisions for the company? Instead of reading this as a failure on your part, think of it as confirmation that you and your boss have fundamentally different visions and that perhaps it's time to part ways so you can realize your vision elsewhere Take stock of your failures and successes: You can't "quit life", so instead of getting down when things aren't work out as planned, ask yourself, "What is or was working in my situation or circumstance?"

• Write it all down. Keep notes to yourself about your successes, even the small ones. Write every night about something that went well that day. Focusing on the positive helps attract more of it!

• Then think about how can promoting what is or was working for you even more. For example, maybe you realize that in you were great at talking with customers but that the location wasn't right for your business and that you need to change venues to an area with more foot traffic. Think about what works or worked for you and how you could improve on that even further.

Don’t announce you are starting over: Just do it You don't need to validate your choices to make a change in your life. You don't need to tell other people or ask them what they think you should do; often when we feel insecure, we consult others so that we feel better about our plan or to prepare them for the transformation. But your life is YOUR life. Move on and people will grow with you.

Those that don't perhaps aren't meant to be in your life in the first place • Your next steps in life aren't about anyone else but you. Ignore what everyone else says. A lot of their resistance will be about them and not you because it makes them question their own lives.

Remember that only you need to feel comfortable with your choices and decisions Discover your purpose: Thinking about the meaning of your life is one of the first major steps toward making big changes.

• What are you good at? What do you enjoy doing? What are you passionate about? What makes you feel like you matter? Answering these questions is key to figuring out what will make you happy and give you a fulfilling life.

Life is only worth living if you are really living. If you've always wanted to teach yoga, why not go for it? You get one one life, so make sure you are doing the right things with it. Don't wait around for a reason to start living your life the way you want.

Set goals and make decisions: Once you have determined your general purpose and big life goals, decide specifically how you will reach these goals and then make the needed changes.

1.Set short-term, medium-term, and long-term goals for yourself. Write them down and put them somewhere where you can see them daily .Organize your life.

2.You can't change your life if you're living a crazy unorganized way. Once you know exactly what change you want to effect and what goals you want to reach, you can begin to plan to make the necessary changes.
