Conversation Recording and Review

Recording a conversation and reviewing what was said.

Recording a conversation and reviewing what the other party and I said helps me improve how I speak. Recordings can also be used to prove that someone said or did not say something. Conversation Recording and Review is so helpful speech teachers are asking their students to do it.

100% attraction

The way a person feels when they see and/or hear and/or touch someone who they realize they feel 100% attracted to.

Though I even felt sexually attracted to a woman I met at work last Friday, it was not a 100% attraction. That type makes one feel as if a magnet is pulling you.

Covert Intent Word

One or more words which state something other than—or the opposite of—what the words which do not have a covert ulterior motive in the message express.

One example of a Covert Intent Word is, “The Test Administrators will do their best to make your testing experience as smooth and stress free as possible.” The word “stress” reminds the test takers that there is such a thing as "stress." And makes anyone who is exposed to that word feel some level of stress—if only by remembering what stress is to grasp what the writer is saying.

Identity-giving

Treating someone in certain ways to give them an identity that is better or worse than the one they have.

After people's appearance, the next thing that comes into play when they interact is the identity each person has of themselves. As they interact, people project their identity and in subtle ways, verbally or nonverbally, others accept or reject it, and sometimes they attempt to give the other person the identity they think they should have of themselves, and that identity can be better or worse than the one the person has of themselves. An example of identity-giving is when one day, someone treats someone else as if they were a genius.

Lifestyle Acuity

The degree to which individuals are able to live their life the way they choose to. To work at what they love to do, to be in a relationship with or married to the man or woman they want to be married to, to live where and how they want to live, etc.

After relocating to another state in the nation, working hard to achieve a higher mental and physical state and doing so, Charlie has been able to raise his Lifestyle Acuity far more and faster than he imagined. The only thing he has not found is an acceptable female companion, but he is optimistic and patient.
