Pazsitzky Effect 

The realization that with little to no effort you can substantially improve the comfort and quality of your every day life (or conversely you've been making your life unnecessarily difficult and annoying). Many times involving a paradigm shift from doing things how you were raised to do them.
I had a pretty big Pazsitzky Effect today. Girlfriend asked me why I always drag my charger around the house instead of just putting one in every room where I use them. No idea why I hadn't just bought a bag of them years ago, but it's nice not having to pack up every time I change rooms!

Pazsitzky Effect 

The moment of realization and reorientation of previously held dogmatic frameworks into an updated model which is more adequate then the now previous one.

This happens to us all when after framing a particular environment or action adequately the frame no longer needs continuous updating. This is usually expressed as "that's how I've always done it" sort of mentality or a kind of auto-drive. This mode is not focused on updating the original adequate framework and therefore becomes background or second nature.

Integrally speaking, this is a mode which does not focus on the environment or action in the external but tends to focus on the internal felt experience while at the same time inhibiting the individual from reframing the previous into greater context. This can be avoided by sharing your framework with others, attempting to take a different approach, or seeking to improve the existing modes. All of these will help to expand the frame towards greater contextual inclusion and culminate in the experience of the Pazsitzky Effect.
Routinely taking a short trail hike, finishing, and hoping it was longer or more of an exercise. When you express that felt desire to a friend, seek alternate options, or seek to re-strategize for the desired outcome you start to orient from a different perspective and help encourage the growth and re-orientation of the initial frame. The resulting Ah-ha moment of re-orientation is the Pazsitzky Effect.

Positive Effects:

From this you may realize you can just do the same short trail hike as many times as you'd like to provide the desired outcome.

Negative Effects:
Your sharing of initial perspective may result in your friend or others being awestruck, dumbfounded, and may even result in them calling you names.

church hurt 

church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.
Now that I am an adult I am beginning to heal from the church hurt that was inflicted on me as a child.

Stealthie 

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"
