Did you get what you want?

-
I hear ya, it’s frustrating when we don’t get what we want or expect. Your first instinct will be to give up or to look at the glass half empty. What I’ve learned is to do just the opposite of the two. Write your goals down – not on a computer, but on paper or in a journal. There’s something that happens when we write something down on a physical piece of paper. You become a creator when you write down your goals. You are acknowledging both to your conscious and subconscious minds that where you are right now is not where you want to be. Your brain then makes this distinction and becomes dissatisfied with the status quo. Remain independent of the good opinion of others and keep yourself fixed on your ability to attract whatever it is that you previously thought was missing in your life. When you trust yourself to decide what is to be your destiny, you don’t allow externals to discourage or influence you. When you stop needing more of everything, more of what yo

Jealousy - excruciatingly uncomfortable!

-
Image
At its most mild jealousy is considered an instinctual reaction that makes us want to protect what we feel is ours. Unlike simply being protective though, jealous feelings can balloon quickly into destructive behavior and cause us to act in ways that are selfish and controlling. It can even cause us to assume things are happening that are not, like seeing a friendly exchange as the sign of an affair, or working late as hiding a secret addiction.   Psychologists believe jealousy may have evolved as a mechanism to motivate us to maintain the relationships that contribute to our lives and, by extension, our very survival.  Small doses of jealousy can also clue us in to how much we value and appreciate the people in our lives. But while jealousy may be motivated by a positive outcome – like sustaining a valued relationship – it can very easily lead to negative consequences. Thanks to technological connectivity, it’s easier than ever to come up with reasons to feel jealous these day

Hostel Life - the best life!

-
Image
A hostel is a youngster’s heaven. If I were to use one word to define what living in a hostel feels like, it would be ‘freedom’ – unreserved, utterly blissful freedom. Have you always wanted to run away from the “madness” of home or maybe just want to be on your own and live life the way you wanted to? Well, I was never one of those but living in the hostel has taught me more than I have learnt in the classroom and there are some things only living away from home can teach you. Each and every hostel has a bunch of people who become famous in no time. Everyone loves them and wants to hang out with them. If you want to be one of them, you need to be an ‘extrovert’. Waiting for others to come and talk to you doesn’t work in a hostel! You will begin to see a whole different reason why the dining hall in any hostel is called a ‘mess’. From sloppy bland vegetable to barely-there sweets, the food in the mess will make you crave and even the simple  dal-chawal  of home

Ego - The worst enemy

-
Image
  The ego is difficult to define because the ego isn’t one specific thing.  It is actually made up of many different beliefs that a person acquires over their life. Those beliefs can be diverse and even contradictory.  To further complicate it, each person’s ego is different.  People are always quick to blame others or raise their voice against the ‘circumstances’ when anything bad befalls them. This is the product of the ego. It constantly strives to make people believe that they’re not responsible for their own actions, their surroundings are. The ego always strives to be constantly right, always wants to be superior. Vice versa just won’t be tolerated. Ego aims to achieve power and control over others, never stopping to consider who they are affecting or even hurting. The ego is all about the past.  It’s about the things you’ve learned, the things you know to be true, the things you’ve experienced, all the little voices in your head from your parents and teachers and

Apology matters! "I'm sorry"

-
Image
The words “I’m sorry” may be simple to type, but can be some of the hardest to say out loud. When we are in the wrong, some of us may find it difficult to apologize. It may be because we don’t think we’re at fault despite what others say. If not, we may think to say sorry for our mistakes makes room for further accusations and conflicts. For some of us, saying sorry feels like admitting we’re inadequate.  It seems that some people experience an apology as a sign of weakness. Interestingly, when asked if they view it that way when the apology comes from another, they do not see it as a weakness at all, but rather the “right” or “responsible” thing to do. Remarkably, some will say it is a sign of strength or maturity when the apology is offered by the other person, but still feel that it is an unacceptable admission of defeat—or weakness—when the apology is theirs to give to someone else. Whatever the reason, I think we can all agree that most of us hold our tongues wh

Feeling Lonely!!!

Have you ever had the experience of feeling lonely, like there is no one around and no one to talk to, as you sink into a state of sadness or anxiety that you fear you will never get over? Does such a feeling overwhelm you at times? If you've had such feelings of loneliness , you are far from alone. Many of us goes through this stage of loneliness - It's the state of being alone, a human emotion that is both complex and unique to each individual. but It may sound strange, but loneliness isn’t always the same as being alone. A person can be surrounded by friends, family and colleagues and still feel lonely. Loneliness can be described as the feeling of not having anyone with whom you can connect socially or emotionally. I heard someone say once that 90% of good counseling is just talking out how you feel. It’s amazing how much better you feel when there’s someone you can talk to who totally understands what you’re going through. The person you are sharing with
