Choice Theory is based on the idea that all behavior is purposeful and motivated by the desire to satisfy five basic inborn needs: survival, belonging, power, freedom, and fun. The theory proposes that people develop a "Quality World" of wants and needs that motivates their behavior. It also asserts that external control destroys relationships, so building relationships is key to motivating behavior change and performance. While Choice Theory aims to explain human motivation and behavior, some criticisms argue it may understate psychological challenges and lacks evidence from clinical trials.
This document discusses strategies for addressing persistent pain in 10 minutes. It emphasizes understanding the patient's story and pain from a biopsychosocial perspective.

How to manage emotional stability for long life brain healthyAzimatul Karimah
Emotional stability is important for long-term brain health and longevity. It involves maintaining calmness of mind without intense emotional reactions to changes. People who are emotionally unstable tend to be impulsive, have low frustration tolerance, get angry quickly, and have difficulty waiting. Both positive and negative emotions are processed in different areas of the prefrontal cortex and amygdala. To improve emotional stability, one can practice stress management techniques like breathing exercises, meditation, muscle relaxation and spending time with others. Happiness is partly genetic but also influenced by attitude and life circumstances, and being happier leads to better cognition and problem solving.
Emotion involves both physiological and cognitive processes. Physiological changes in the face, brain and body accompany emotions. The brain, particularly structures like the amygdala and prefrontal cortex, play a key role in emotional experiences. Cultural influences also shape how emotions are experienced and expressed. Theories like the James-Lange theory and cognitive labeling theory view emotions as arising from the interpretation of physiological arousal. Effectively managing emotions and the stress they can cause is important for health and well-being.
This document is a resource guide for a course on stress management and prevention. It outlines 9 units that will be covered: the nature of stress, the physiology of stress, the psychology of stress, personality traits and spirituality, dealing with stress through coping strategies, relaxation techniques, nutrition and stress, physical exercise, and applying stress management professionally. Each unit provides information to remember, exercises, and journal writing prompts. The guide aims to help students understand stress on multiple levels and provide tools to better manage and prevent stress.
Stress can affect people both positively and negatively depending on their perception of the stressor. The body's stress response involves three stages - alarm, resistance, and fatigue - which activate the nervous system and hormones like adrenaline to prepare the body for a threat. Prolonged stress can negatively impact physical and mental health through effects like headaches, digestive issues, mood swings, and a weakened immune system. Understanding stress, stressors, and the body's response can help manage stress effectively.
This document outlines an agenda and objectives for a class on anxiety and anxiety management.

The document discusses negative emotions and how they are important for well-being rather than something to be avoided. It argues that suppressing negative emotions can lead to mental and physical health issues, while experiencing and accepting them is vital.

One fifth of the world's poor live in South Asia, with 26% of Indians living below the poverty line. Poverty is concentrated in rural areas and three states - Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Madhya Pradesh - account for half of India's poor. Low income and lack of healthcare contribute to high female illiteracy and infant mortality rates. While India's economy is growing, wealth is unevenly distributed and many rely on agriculture for income. Efforts to alleviate poverty include microfinance programs and government poverty elimination plans, and India's middle class is growing rapidly.

Performance Budgets for the Real World by Tammy EvertsScyllaDB
Performance budgets have been around for more than ten years. Over those years, we’ve learned a lot about what works, what doesn’t, and what we need to improve. In this session, Tammy revisits old assumptions about performance budgets and offers some new best practices. Topics include:
• Understanding performance budgets vs. performance goals
• Aligning budgets with user experience
• Pros and cons of Core Web Vitals
• How to stay on top of your budgets to fight regressions
Kief Morris rethinks the infrastructure code delivery lifecycle, advocating for a shift towards composable infrastructure systems. We should shift to designing around deployable components rather than code modules, use more useful levels of abstraction, and drive design and deployment from applications rather than bottom-up, monolithic architecture and delivery.
Are you interested in dipping your toes in the cloud native observability waters, but as an engineer you are not sure where to get started with tracing problems through your microservices and application landscapes on Kubernetes? Then this is the session for you, where we take you on your first steps in an active open-source project that offers a buffet of languages, challenges, and opportunities for getting started with telemetry data.
The project is called openTelemetry, but before diving into the specifics, we’ll start with de-mystifying key concepts and terms such as observability, telemetry, instrumentation, cardinality, percentile to lay a foundation. After understanding the nuts and bolts of observability and distributed traces, we’ll explore the openTelemetry community; its Special Interest Groups (SIGs), repositories, and how to become not only an end-user, but possibly a contributor.We will wrap up with an overview of the components in this project, such as the Collector, the OpenTelemetry protocol (OTLP), its APIs, and its SDKs.
Attendees will leave with an understanding of key observability concepts, become grounded in distributed tracing terminology, be aware of the components of openTelemetry, and know how to take their first steps to an open-source contribution!
Key Takeaways: Open source, vendor neutral instrumentation is an exciting new reality as the industry standardizes on openTelemetry for observability. OpenTelemetry is on a mission to enable effective observability by making high-quality, portable telemetry ubiquitous. The world of observability and monitoring today has a steep learning curve and in order to achieve ubiquity, the project would benefit from growing our contributor community.
In this follow-up session on knowledge and prompt engineering, we will explore structured prompting, chain of thought prompting, iterative prompting, prompt optimization, emotional language prompts, and the inclusion of user signals and industry-specific data to enhance LLM performance.
Join EIS Founder & CEO Seth Earley and special guest Nick Usborne, Copywriter, Trainer, and Speaker, as they delve into these methodologies to improve AI-driven knowledge processes for employees and customers alike.
