How do you differentiate between evaluation and judgment?
This is a powerful question every beginner on the spiritual path will face sooner or later. It has been said that the source of all misery is demanding that life be different than it is. The sooner you learn the difference between evaluation and judgment, the happier your life will be.
Consider this situation: You see a story about a woman who tied her 8 year old son to a tree and pinned a sign on his shirt that said "I am a bad boy." It was a hot summer day and as part of his punishment, she refused him any food or water for the entire day. He was not allowed to use the bathroom, so his shame was magnified when he wet his pants.
Judgment thoughts: "What a monster woman. She ought to be tied to a tree. I can't believe a mother would be so horrible to her son. This should never have happened to that boy. God will surely punish her for her sins."
Judgment looks at a situation, declares that it is wrong and should not be happening. The judging person is usually upset, perhaps angry or enraged at what they judge as wrong. This triggers the fight or flight chemicals in the judge's body, compromising the judge's immune system as well as stimulating a "bad mood."
Each time the judge tells the story, he or she will feel the anger and rage all over again.
Evaluation thoughts: "Tying the boy to the tree was harsh punishment. I wonder what has happened in the mother's life that she felt this was the best way to deal with this. I feel so sad for the boy and the mother. I hope the justice system arranges for her to get parenting skills if she is mentally and emotionally capable of learning a better way to parent. I hope the boy gets counseling to deal with the trauma. If he doesn't, he will likely do a similar thing to his child when he has one."
Evaluation looks at a situation and lists the facts. In this case, the only facts are, the mother was disciplining her son by pinning a sign to his shirt, tying him to a tree for the day without food or water, and refused to let him use the bathroom and he wet his pants. The thought is "OK this happened, what do I want to do about it?"
This puts the evaluator in a positive, solution oriented frame of mind. By skipping the judgment segment, which does nothing to fix the problem, the evaluator is experiencing the emotion of compassion, which has the vibration of love.
A simple way to know whether you are judging or evaluating is by how you feel. If you are angry and upset, you are likely judging. If you feel compassion, you are likely evaluating.
There are two benefits to being an evaluator, rather than a judge. You will have less stress, and your attention will be on what you want to do (or not do) about it. It serves no one, and solves nothing, to spend time wanting something that has happened to not have happened.
Growth Of Fast Food
Muscle growth is not just about lifting weights and going to the gym everyday but there is a science behind it. You have to remember that the body has certain ways on dealing with stress. Every person also has different metabolism rates, and because of this, they may need different exercise programs.
When it comes to body building, you should be able to know about the different theories concerning it. By knowing about the theories, you will be able to apply it in your exercise regime and get the results you want at a much faster rate.
For building muscles, you have to remember that resting is very important if you lift weights at the gym. Never ever exercise the same muscle group everyday unless you are concentrating on fat loss. However, if you want to gain muscle, resting the muscles is a very important part of it.
For example, if you exercise your chest today, dont exercise it tomorrow. This means no bench presses tomorrow.
You have to consider the fact that whenever we lift weights, we injure our muscles. Therefore, the body will react by fixing it with bigger and much stronger muscles. And, in order to promote muscle repair, we need to get some sleep and let the muscle we injure rest for at least two days.
Diet is also an important factor when you want to gain muscle mass. Always remember that protein is very important when it comes to muscle growth. Protein helps in rebuilding muscles and promote muscle repair. So, how much protein you should eat? Basically, the rule of thumb is that for every pound you weigh, you need at least 1.5 grams of protein. This means that if you weigh 200 pounds, you need to take in 300 grams of protein a day. That is if you work out regularly.
There are supplements that you may want to try. Some are rich in amino acids that also promote protein production and muscle growth, while there is also whey protein that directly introduces the needed daily protein intake in your body.
If you want to gain muscle, another key is proper execution of exercises and the right exercises.
The right exercises for muscle gain are usually free weight exercises. As much as possible, you should do free weight exercises and minimize the use of machines. Although machines do lower the risk of injury, you have to remember that free weight is much more effective in promoting muscle growth. Always remember that in order to promote muscle growth, you also need to strengthen the supporting muscles. For example, if you want to promote muscle growth on your biceps, you also need to strengthen the muscles that surround the biceps.
And, only free weight exercises can do this. Machine exercises virtually does not put any strain on the supporting muscles, which means that it will not promote the growth of your primary muscles as well as free weight exercises can.
Proper execution of the exercise is also very important. By doing the exercises slowly and in a controlled and smooth motion, you will promote maximum muscle contractions which means that it will promote muscle growth.
These are just some of the many body building muscle gain tips that you need to keep in mind. There are quite a lot of techniques that will be able to help you gain muscle. With these tips, you will be able to get the body you want in no time at all.
