THIS IS THE FOURTH PIECE OF PERSONALITY PUZZLE. LIFE is basically a school of ‘Hard-Knocks’. To graduate with honours in this ‘University of LIFE’ as a function of SELF-ACTUALISATION, is your supreme assignment. In diagnosing your ‘Personality Predisposition’ BEYONDISM focuses on where you broadly fit in regard to Type A/B personality theory. The theory’s originators, Dr. Meyer Friedman and Dr. Ray Rosenman, in the 1950s, created a diagnostic survey to identify type A because it was the treatment group: Type A’s faced greater risk of cardiac death, while being type B simply meant that you were not type A. However, it is advisable to construe Type A/B, as behavioural tendencies, rather than defining and rigid personality types.

Here is BEYONDISM FORMIDABLE FORMULA for SELF-ACTUALIZATION
(The ‘head’ and ‘tail’ of Activating your SELFHOOD) in regard to:
Looking for TRUTH from no other founts other than your PSYCHE.

   Prudent Planting #36: Fully aware of your bodily health as the fount of all ideas, you will move unhindered.
   Hoped Harvest #36: The intensity of an idea depends upon the somatic excitation with which it is connected.

#36. To the extent I aspire to utilise fully my TYPE of intimate reaction,
How should I upgrade my mode of realizing personal GOALS?

Self-monitoring and self-evaluation are necessary skills for self-regulated behaviour.
Self-reinforcement is a key component and a vital strategy of self-management.
Each of these three skills contributes to the establishment of fulfilling standards.
Self-monitoring is useful in tracking how often behaviour occurs or does not.
Self-evaluation is the process of comparing your behaviour to a standard or goal.
Self-reinforcement is a way to pat yourself on the back for progress towards the goal.
You can self-reinforce immediately following a self-evaluation that is successful!

#36. I, ___________________________, channeling my efforts towards SELF-REGULATION, do DECISIVELY DECLARE that, self-evaluation consists of comparing a measure of some behaviour or event with a goal or standard for the behaviour or event. For example, I might record the amount of calories I eat each day and compare this to a standard or goal for calorie intake. There are several things to consider when establishing a goal or standard against which I want to compare myself. I will focus on increasing a preferred activity or learning a new skill. For example, my goal may be to reduce the time spent watching TV. I will consider trying to increase an alternate, preferred activity such as reading. Especially when I am on a school holiday, I may find it easier to pick up a good book than to turn on the TV! I will try a graduated performance measure. This would start out with a small interval and gradually work up to the ideal interval based on performance. For example I may want to practice for an hour every day but find that it is better to start with 15 minutes then build up to an hour over time. This will give me lots of opportunities to be good at what I will be trying to do! If I will be trying to increase the amount of exercise I get each day, I might want to make sure my routine will work on the days that I get to the gym and has alternative activities for days when I cannot get to the gym. Sometimes I will just have to try it and then adjust my standard or goal as I need to! The first time is not always perfect.

In this reference, as a BLESSED BEYONDIST, I hereby, make an ABSOLUTE AFFIRMATION that, self-reinforcement is an invaluable link between the response and the outcome. The more often I can pick out a target behaviour and consistently give myself reinforcement for that behaviour, the more likely it will occur in the future. There are numerous ways to provide myself with reinforcement. A few things include: Eating a favourite food or snack item, Participating in a preferred recreational activity like bowling or going to the movies, Spending time with a friend, and Telling or showing someone my success. Unfortunately, not all self-reinforcers are ideal in all situations. I have realised that a self-reinforcer should be: Small and easily deliverable. It would not be simple or healthy to provide myself with a steak meal as a frequent reinforcer. Edible reinforcers work better when I am hungry so they may not be good at all during or after a meal! There are also potential health problems if I use food as a frequent self-reinforcement. INDIVIDUALISED! The things that I do to make myself feel good may not be the same things my friend would like to do. I will think about what I could do anywhere or anytime to reinforce myself. It is best to have self-reinforcement immediately follow self-evaluation. I will make sure I do not forget this step!
