Building Your Intuition : Developer Tea

https://spec.fm/podcasts/developer-tea/65865

the ability to make quick decisions.

The most valuable practice that you can do is pointed at pattern recognition.

As a developer, you are going to go through times when you feel very incapable.
These are things every developer goes through.
As your intuition builds up, so will your proficiency.
And your intuition only builds up when you are practicing and when you are practicing with the intent to recognize patterns.

Present

I am 3_. I am young. And I am grateful for that.
Thank you God. <3.

How To Stop Competing With Other Women: Julie Hanks



Why women compete:
1. To cover up insecurities.
2. To prove worth.
3. Fear that there is a limited supply of success.
4. Belief that there is only one winner.

How To Stop Competing:

1. Look inside instead of side-to-side for self-worth.

2. Quit comparing.
Someone else's success has nothing to do with us.
Other people's lives have nothing to do with us.
And somehow we think it's related.
"Comparison is the thief of joy."
-Theodore Roosevelt

3. Practice an abundance mindset.

4. Appreciate all things beautiful.

Love Your Body From The Inside Out : Julie Hanks

Article:
http://www.healthyway.com/content/love-your-body-from-the-inside-out

Another tip is to view your body as an instrument and not as an ornament.

Think about all the incredible things they do for us every day. Even the simple, everyday functions of walking, breathing, and eating are amazing if you stop and think about it.

So the next time you find yourself regarding your body with a critical eye, stop to consider how good it is to you.

Finally, I encourage you to focus on your health (instead of obsessing over pounds, inches, and what the scales tell you). Treat your body right by eating nutritious foods, exercising regularly, and getting enough sleep.

The kinder you are to your body, the kinder it will be to you.

Continually remind yourself how lucky you are to have it.

Measure your Progress

Take a few minutes each week to do a weekly recap.
Any goal worth setting is worth measuring.

Measuring your progress is important if you want to get those positive emotional effects.
Track daily goals. Take 30 seconds to write out what you got done today. This helps us to get an overview of our day personally, and see how productive we’ve been.
Complete a monthly personal review. Schedule a 30-minute meeting with yourself to occur in 1 month, and to recur every month after that. Make the meeting non-negotiable, and if for some reason it has to be rescheduled, reschedule it but don’t cancel it.

Every goal needs to be assigned both a measurable unit (to quantify success) and a unit of time (against which you’ll measure your success).

Why You Need Audacity : Terri



The audacity to believe in our dreams.

I don't know how God's gonna do it, but I have the audacity to believe.

The only limitations we have are the ones we put on ourselves.

God wants you to develop audacity.

How does it start?

1. Build the audacity to believe in yourself.

David encouraged himself in Lord the God. -1 Samuel 30:6

God is the master in making champions out of nobodies.

You have to believe in yourself.

2. Build the audacity to grow yourself.

To invest in yourself.

As a person thinks in her heart, so is she. -Proverbs 23:7

Your daily habits are leading you closer to, or further from, the dreams that God has put in your heart.

1. Listen to motivational teaching consistently.
Faith comes by hearing. Every time you hear the Word faith comes.
2. Read great books.
