If you are a negative minded person, then there is a chance that you have a lot of negative incidents or experiences in your life. We ultimately become what we experience. If you can manage to receive good experiences, it is possible for you to live a happy and peaceful life.

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. Well, “how safe they actually are?” Did you ever think about that? You may arrange the best care at your home, but how safe they are, when on road? at a playground? inside a classroom? or at a friend's house? whatever indestructible safety mechanism you consider in your parenting style, there is always a chance of getting into trouble for your children. 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...

You might have heard the word Emotional Intelligence (EI) many times and may know the meaning of it. Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the ability to identify and manage your own emotions and the emotions of others.

An Emotionally Intelligent person must possess the following qualities below: 1.   Clear About Life’s Purpose and Values It is the first step toward success, findin...

Almost everyone seems to be quite familiar with the word “counselor” and their typical job profile these days. You are right!! People come to them with their day to day problems they are stuck in. Some of these are small issues while others are quite complicated. However, in most cases people admit, they felt life changing experience after approaching mental health professionals. A lot of clients come to me with various kind of genuine problems in their life. I figured that the root cause of many unstable conditions is not getting an assistance for relief in their distress situation. Somehow I realized, if they had got genuine guidance in the initial stages, they probably wouldn’t have to come to me with this kind of bigger issues.  It does not mean these people don’t have any well-wishers in their life. They must have parents, spouse, siblings, children, besties or many others who care about them a lot. Many of them had given them good practical advice in their...

Don’t be shy to say “Need Help”. It’s not as unusual to happen as you think. I’ve seen many people having trouble in asking for help. They don’t feel free to ask help when they need it badly. They can’t seem to find a way to ask someone for assistance and feel really awkward to ask. Lots of introvert people experience it on a regular basis. If you are the one of those who also feel that “asking for help” is itself a problem, then you are in the exact right place.  W hat’s Stopping You from getting help? When a person is unable to seek help in need, there might be three possible scenarios in his mind. One, when he thinks he can fix the issue by himself and he doesn’t need any additional help at all. Two, when he thinks there is no reliable person available nearby he can trust to get help and keeping the matter secret at the same time. Three, when he thinks it makes him feel weak and dependent for asking help to others. It’s good if the first one is true for you. I...

If you are lucky to have a loving partner in your life for long, feel yourself blessed, as lots of people don't get such an opportunity in their life. If you are newly in love and own a dream of having a "fairy tale love story", I have some pocket advice for you, to keep in mind just as a "caution". Having a broken heart is something no one desires, but it unexpectedly occurs in almost everyone’s life. Lots of my clients come to me with a broken heart. I observed, not only heart, they are broken in every aspect of life at the same time. LOVE has taken everything, leaving them so alone. So I thought of sharing some facts with you just to put in your memory bank. Click here to know, are you sensitive? In the beginning of a relationship when we know a little about our partner, being hopeful, we sometimes tend to v...
