Do you ever ask yourself if it matters how you dress? What about the way you are arranging your hair? Yes, I know it sounds like some superficial crap, but there is some psychological background here. I’m going to say yes, it matters, but not because we are all some shallow superficial people, but because looks determines the desire to know that person … Continue reading Does it matter how we dress? – Reblog
I know, it’s a f*cked up title, but bear with me. In my daily journey in the world I’ve noticed something interesting: each and every one of us is unique in the way we think, but bottom line, we all want the same things. I’m sure you’ve noticed there are multiple paths to the same destination. As an example, think about the latest holiday … Continue reading People are the same, but different
It is said that knowledge is power. If so, why do we get upset sometimes when we find out some things? I think that it’s because we sometimes have strong beliefs which get in conflict with the answers we are finding out by asking those questions. Ok, but why do we ask the questions if we already have the strong beliefs? I think that it’s … Continue reading Knowledge is… power?
I was going to say intelligence instead of number of thoughts, but it’s a subject way too big to be fitted in a simple post. I’ve heard in many places that dumb people are happier. Is that true? If so, why is it true? What defines a person to be dumb? According to The School of Life (more specifically, in this video), “in the … Continue reading Is the number of thoughts we have related to our level of happiness?
This is going to be a hard to read post because most of us do not have a high level of self-confidence. We prefer to think that we are too small to make a great contribution; we think that we’re not good enough or smart enough or we are not lucky enough to make something big. I know, it’s going to sound like another … Continue reading Self-Confidence
Have you ever wonder why do we get angry? I know it’s because of some situations or because of some people, but that is not the real reason. We get angry because of what we think about the situation or about the person, and most of the times it is connected with the feeling of loss. I think that we get angry because somehow … Continue reading The Loss Feeling – Reblog
Most of us know how to speak, but do most of us know how to express what we want to express? Along my journey I witnessed people talking for hours but saying almost nothing and it made me wonder what the whole purpose of that is and how it’s affecting our communication skills. Talking for the sake of… talking It seems that we sometimes talk … Continue reading Specific Communication: A Mandatory Skill?
This is such a deep topic and I’ve found some more interesting ideas about communication which I want to share with you. Besides those 4 steps that I mentioned here, Jacques Salome and Sylvie Galland talk about different levels on which we’re expressing ourselves and in their book If Only I’d Listen to Myself they mention five of them: The level of facts; … Continue reading About Communication… Again – Reblog
I sometimes wonder how our past affects our present and in what way. I’m not talking about actions we did in the past which have some effects on our present. I’m talking about remembering things and situations. Our memories are as powerful in influencing our present feelings as our present day. This is how it works: we remember something from our past (positive or … Continue reading How memories affect our present – Reblog
“A habit is a routine of behavior that is repeated regularly and tends to occur subconsciously.” – Wikipedia This short definition provides everything we need to know about a habit. In my opinion, the most important part is that habits tend to occur subconsciously. Because of this, I’m wondering how much control we really have over our behavior. We come up with the intent, … Continue reading Life and Bad Habits
Provided by Dr. Ramya from Self Life Hacks There are various personalities around us and one of the most beautiful personalities is “The-helping personality”. These people can feel the pain of others and their distress, take a responsibility for the welfare of others and act to help them and keep them happy. If these characters match with yours then you are probably the empathetic personality or helping … Continue reading Is Your Empathy Your Weakness Or Your Strength?
Is there a connection between the two? I was actually amazed once I started to observe and analyze what happens when people cuss (me included). In my culture, people tend to judge the ones who cuss as being rude or uneducated. However, it has nothing to do with that. Yes, an educated person will keep an eye on his/her surroundings and he/she will cuss only … Continue reading Cussing and Mental Health
Have you ever wondered how you should interpret your eye contact with other people? What too much eye contact means? What too little eye contact means? Why someone is deliberately avoiding eye contact with you? Usually, your eye contact with someone is telling something about your interaction with that person or about that person as an individual. If you can observe how that … Continue reading About Eye Contact – Reblog
This need affects our lives more than we think. Most of the things we do are related somehow with this need. But first, what is this need and why it affects us so much? This is related to one of our instinctual needs, the one of being part of a group. Why? Because in ancient times one individual could survive if he/she was … Continue reading The Need for External Approval – Reblog
Provided by Jo Harkness, blogger of I Need to Say This I’m making the deliberate and unpopular choice to not live positively. I’m not saying I am choosing to live life negatively as an unhappy grump. I am choosing to live with my emotions, both negative and positive, and not force either one on myself. I was transferred from the abusive job into another position … Continue reading Unpopular Opinion About Positivity
Lately, I’m wondering what kind of people we want around us. Are they always the same? Does it matter how we feel? Are we choosing our interactions based on our needs? Are our interactions the ones we suppose to have? As always, I think it depends. If we are not confident enough, we’ll be searching for outer confirmations about how should we be, … Continue reading The “Company” – Reblog
Do you ever wonder why we do what we do? Why do we want what we want? What’s the reasoning behind this? Why from time to time our wishes change? Why sometimes we want something opposite to what we wanted some time ago? Why our wishes and our needs change? What changes them? Do we change? If so, why? I think that asking … Continue reading The WHY Question – Reblog
“What if I feel no emotion when I think about my goals? Does that mean I have bad goals?” The answer to this question depends on how you are from an emotional point of view in other circumstances. This question might help: On a scale from zero (rocks don’t feel anything) to 10 (I have liquid emotions instead of blood), how intense do you … Continue reading Focus, focus, focus
Sometimes we tend to treat things so seriously that we feel we’re holding on the whole world. In the grand scheme of things, our pressure and our feelings is not that important. People have other things to do than keeping their eyes on us. Everybody has his/her own life to take care of. Yes, our words are very powerful, but that’s only because others give … Continue reading Life is just a moment
Have you noticed that we’re always thinking that we’ll be happy when we’ll have “that thing”? But have you noticed that we almost never go beyond that? Like, really going beyond. Have you imagined how your life is going to be if you have “that thing” or that person? If so, for how long? A day? A month? But have you ever thought about … Continue reading The “Having” Point – Reblog
