Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adapted from the dissertation entitled, Phenomenological Study of Encouragement as a Protective Factor for New Christian Pastors, this book gives clarity in laymen’s terms on how vital encouragement is to one’s well-being. It is a condensed discovery of how encouragement can be a protective factor or the thing that safeguards one from the stressors encountered. This protective factor through encouragement distinguishes those who seem to adapt to circumstances or overcome adversities and those who merely give up. Encouragement helps one see others and circumstances through the eyes of faith and is a key factor in empowerment, fulfillment, inspiration, transformation, and success.

Download or read book Why We Do What We Do written by Edward L. Deci and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1996-08-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What motivates us as students, employees, and individuals? If you reward your children for doing their homework, they will usually respond by getting it done. But is this the most effective method of motivation? No, says psychologist Edward L. Deci, who challenges traditional thinking and shows that this method actually works against performance. The best way to motivate people—at school, at work, or at home—is to support their sense of autonomy. Explaining the reasons why a task is important and then allowing as much personal freedom as possible in carrying out the task will stimulate interest and commitment, and is a much more effective approach than the standard system of reward and punishment. We are all inherently interested in the world, argues Deci, so why not nurture that interest in each other? Instead of asking, "How can I motivate people?" we should be asking, "How can I create the conditions within which people will motivate themselves?" "An insightful and provocative meditation on how people can become more genuinely engaged and succesful in pursuing their goals." —Publisher's Weekly

Download or read book Encouragement written by Larry Crabb and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2013-05-07 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to Drs. Larry Crabb and Dan Allender, encouragement is more than a compliment or a pat on the back. It's a skill that can be mastered by anyone. Crabb and Allender ask: "What must we know in order to fulfill the biblical exhortation to 'encourage one another?'" Encouragement provides the answer. Part one deals with understanding encouragement, and part two explores the process of encouragement, including such practical how-tos as developing a careful selection of encouraging words; cultivating active listening skills; using biblical fellowship to move beyond superficial smiles and shallow greetings; and recognizing subtle opportunities for encouragement. Without the encouragement of a caring community, biblical truth taught in church tends to just thicken people's defense layers. But authenticity, freedom, and greater love for God and others are the fruit of encouragement, and evidence of the tremendous power God invests in individuals who practice it.

Book excerpt: All of us, at times, encounter heartache, death, challenges, failures, disappointments, and other trials. How do you overcome these difficulties? Do you hold onto your hidden and silent issues? At what moment will you no longer internalize your doubts and fears, your failures and unforgiveness, your pain and brokenness? Holding onto painful problems indefinitely will not add value or meaning to your life. In Encouragement for Those Who Suffer in Silence, author Rev. Dr. LaRuth E. Lockhart addresses common issues often held in secret by many, challenges that can cause you to become broken and to suffer in silence. She communicates that you can’t receive comfort until you face and admit what ails you. You must let go and let God have control of every aspect of your life. He’s the God of all healing, comfort, and restoration. Using her personal experience of suffering silently, and with the word of God as her source, Dr. LaRuth encourages you to give voice to the silent issues that bind you and to graciously receive healing for your pain and restoration through Jesus Christ the savior.

This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motivation is key to substance use behavior change. Counselors can support clients' movement toward positive changes in their substance use by identifying and enhancing motivation that already exists. Motivational approaches are based on the principles of person-centered counseling. Counselors' use of empathy, not authority and power, is key to enhancing clients' motivation to change. Clients are experts in their own recovery from SUDs. Counselors should engage them in collaborative partnerships. Ambivalence about change is normal. Resistance to change is an expression of ambivalence about change, not a client trait or characteristic. Confrontational approaches increase client resistance and discord in the counseling relationship. Motivational approaches explore ambivalence in a nonjudgmental and compassionate way.
