Do you know anyone who never did any mistake in their life? Of course not. Life is a long journey, with full of surprises and disappointments. Moreover, we never get our curriculum in advance, to get prepared, in our school of life. So, mistakes are obvious. Everyone does. it’s perfectly normal and totally acceptable. So, yes, we all do. Now the question is what needs to be done when we do it? Do we need to carry it on throughout our life, or to leave it behind at right that moment? There are a lot of ways one can fix it right away, and you surely can do something for it. But the first thing that you need to get it secure is, to admit it, whenever errors come to you.

THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is the chemical responsible for most of the marijuana's psychological effects. It acts much like the cannabinoid chemicals made naturally by the body. Cannabinoids are chemical compounds found in the cannabis plant that interacts with receptors in the brain and body to create various effects. There exist dozens, and potentially more than 100, cannabinoids in the cannabis plant, but THC is most widely known among these due to its abundance and psychoactive attributes.THC’s chemical structure is similar to the brain chemical anandamide. The similarity in structure allows the body to recognize THC and to alter normal brain communication. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) adds psychoactive (mind-altering) properties that target the central nervous system and alters the brain's ability to communicate between neurons, which is the body's information processing system. It affects the brain regions of the cerebellum, hippo-campus, cerebral cortex, nucl...

Every time you are silent when you strongly need your support, by not standing for yourself, you are doing wrong. Yes, it is. It has harmful effects. It may ruin your self-concept, leading you towards inferiority and depression with times. Moreover, if you yourself are not ready to stand for yourself, then you merely expect any others to do the same for you. If you are right, stand for yourself. If you have doubt, change your decisions. If you find obstacles on the road to making right decisions, then simply find a creative and smarter way to get rid of them. Think, there is always another way. Obviously, this thing has effects on our confidence and our mental health. Effects on confidence: You may not be able to stand for yourself due to two possible reasons. One, you have doubt about your own decision; and two, you are afraid of some situation or person. In either case, you will eventually find yourself vulnerable, incapable, and inferior. In long run, you slowly will star...

We all heard it many times in our childhood, and that is “get…set….go”. Here I am going to explain you, what to get when to set, and how to go. Phase 1: Get ready to know yourself Know your purpose: The first step in motivating yourself is to try to find out the purpose of your existence i.e. something like who you are and what do you want. Keep asking yourself continuously until you feel you are getting some clarity. Find your identity: Talk to yourself, find out the ingredients you are made of. List down your strengths and weaknesses. Analyze what kind of seed you are. Choose your area: Next step is to choose the area you would like to be in. Think, search and gather all the professional areas where a person like you will be greatly appreciated. It is the soil, appropriate for the particular kind of seed like you. Get paired with your destiny: Final step is to shortlist top five among the list you have made. Write down the pros and cons, beside each of them, and select...

If you consider yourself a psychopath, then you must be aware of your destructive attribution. However, as a psychopath, your pathological abnormalities mostly come from your biological predisposition. There is almost nothing you can do for it. What you can do is to flip your curses into blessings so that people will remember you as a life maker, not as a destroyer. You can achieve it in three mindful ways. Take Control of Your life: As a psychopath, you have a mind that looks life in a negative spotlight and thinks everything with an evil point of view, including manipulating and controlling good humanistic qualities. And you do this only to win. Of course, you win and get what you want but after that? One fine morning your mask gets down and everything then vanishes. You again start searching for another good person who will make you happy. And it goes on and on endlessly. As a psychotherapist, I can understand, how alert you need to be all the time throughout the proces...

Positivity is the frequent experience of pleasant emotions. Some of the most common emotions are joy, hope, gratitude, interest, serenity, pride, amusement, love, inspiration, and awe. Anyone can switch from thinking negatively to positively, with a little effort and time. And it is worth it. Positive Mindset: Staying positive doesn't mean, you need to stay always positive irrespective of any given situation. It's really odd if someone dies, and you are laughing to reflect your positive mindset. Positivity means, thinking of positive aspects in every situation with its negative aspects side by side, tilting slightly towards the positive one. Positivity makes us happier, while negativity makes us cautious and careful. Both of them has utilities. A wise brain considers both of them while taking a decision. Prepare yourself to think every possible thing, considering both positive and negative aspects for proper evaluation. Breathing Happiness: Considering today's ...

We parents devote a considerable amount time of our life in taking care of our children. Sometimes it's difficult for youngsters to willingly appreciate our parenting style. Still, we never fail to motivate ourselves to give our bests to provide them a comfortable lifestyle. Because we love them to see, safe and sound.

So, we can make kids even more prepared, when we provide, not only safety, but also some knowledge or perception of situations and facts; when they know how to stay alert if anything goes wrong, and make simple common sense work for them accordingly. “Better Safe Than Sorry” Rules # Rul...
