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 ...
