Memory refers to the human's capacity to retain and recall things. The human brain is the grand storage system of various events and information. The events, experiences, outlook of a human or animal, every single thing is stored in the brain. Some of the events are stored even without the knowledge of the person. Some of the things are remembered after a long time too, while many of the events are forgotten within a short period. Enhancing the memory is nothing less than an art. Th... more...

Personal development goes a long way in modifying productivity. Human ideas rapidly shifts between levels of grief, guilt, anxiousness, joy, love and courage. While individuals pop in and out of these levels, there is usually a predominant state for everyone. An increase in productivity in metaphysical terms pertains to a flow of clarity and strength deep within the heart one self which translates into their speech, mind and actions. Productivity is nothing but an unblocked flow whose res... more...

Learning Spanish is a lot of work. But that's ok because achieving any goal is a lot of work. The real challenge is in making the work fun and enjoyable so you feel like continuing. Your textbooks will give you all the Spanish verb conjugations. You'll get reading practice from short stories. You'll get listening practice from CDs and audio tapes. And, if you follow the book from page 1 to page 400, you will learn Spanish. However, there is only one problem. You man... more...

You stand a better likelihood of initiating thi... more...

An irresistible force that creates stumbles for many is viewing one's life solely through the perspective of one's current chronological age. Ask yourself: Do you want to have wonderful experiences, or only age-stereotyped ones? The psychology of human experience for most of us is heavily influenced by one's age. What you thought important as a teenager will differ greatly from the thoughts you will have when you become a retiree. The libraries are full of r... more...

Fear of rejection was the thing that held me back from making friends and achieving what I want to do. Fear is an instinctive emotion designed to protect us from dire circumstances. In some cases it may be totally instinctive and in others it may be learned. Fear of rejection was the most debilitating fear that I have ever experienced. It was the most challenging to overcome. Imagine that you think you might have something in common with people but you are just frozen in trying to speak... more...

You will benefit yourself by remembering this formula, E+R=O. E is our environment, the external world. R is our response and O is the outcome. You know, many people believe that the external environment puts them at a certain state and create a certain outcome. Let's take for example; if someone shouts at you, the outcome is that we feel bad. But, it is not the event that controls how we feel; it is how we choose to respond. The thing is, different people respond di... more...

Have you ever wanted to feel confident in certain situations when you were not? Like, meeting a client or giving a presentation. Would not it be powerful for you to change a lazy state at will to a motivated one? How would that change your life? How about changing a fear to go on stage to feeling enthusiastic about doing it? How much will it change results you are able to produce in your life? Well, you can. You are in charge of your state and your physiology is one of the most powerful ... more...

Now, let me ask you a question, "Have you ever experienced this state of procrastination before?" Stupid question! Of course you have! You know, procrastination is the number 1 killer of all successes, the number one thing that prevents people from getting results. It is when you know you should do something but you keep putting it off. Have you ever had to start a project but kept doing everything else that would delay you starting on the project? You know, you clean your desk, ... more...

How many times have you told yourself, 'I am happy, I am happy, I am happy, I am happy!' but stayed lousy? You know, we have already said it is not positive thinking or logic that drives our emotions and our actions. It is truly our emotional state. So, how do we create our states? When you are motivated, how do you do that? How do you get motivated? When you are depressed, how do we create it? Understand that at any point of time your state is determined by 1) your physiology ... more...

Have you ever woken up one day and felt great? Where everything flowed and you felt happy for no reason? Guess what? In days like that, you got a lot of things done. But, were there also days when, you know, nothing went right? In fact, when I studied people who achieved more in their life, they tended to experience a lot more positive states that got them to consistently take action. The majority of people on the other hand, seem to be always held back by lousy states. If our st... more...

An anger problem can be a huge deterrent in your life. It affects every single part of every single thing you do. It affects your relationships with your children, your spouse and your friends. It can cause huge strife in the workplace if people are afraid that you can't control your anger. Taking an anger management class is in your best interest if you want to manage anger and stop letting anger control your life. Sure, anger does have its place but it should not be on a daily bas... more...

Are you feeling less than great about yourself? Do you feel self conscious in new situations or when you are around other people? Chances are you just need to learn to be confident in who you are. Where some people seem to be naturally born to feel confident in almost any situation, most of us have to learn to be confident. You could argue (and rightly so) that this is something we should have learned from our parents or in school when we were little, but most of us didn't so we have... more...

Most of times, children are too much in a hurry to grow up, to have a job, to live like a grown up and so on. So much so, they knowingly fast-forward things a bit and they marry early, they start working early, and for that matter, they almost always drop out of schools or colleges. It is only after quite some time into their newly found "grown-up life" that they understand the importance of having a high school degree or a college degree. All of a sudden, life is no more fun and it beco... more...

Pain may sometimes be the reason why people change. Getting flunked grades make us realize that we need to study. Debts remind us of our inability to look for a source of income. Being humiliated gives us the 'push' to speak up and fight for ourselves to save our face from the next embarrassments. It may be a bitter experience, a friend's tragic story, a great movie, or an inspiring book that will help us get up and get just the right amount of motivation we need in order ... more...

Stress is the curse of living in modern times. Everyone suffers from stress. And the stress we suffer takes a heavy toll on our bodies, emotions and minds. Feeling stressed out, worn out by fatigue or just simply having a miserable day, the best thing to do is relax. Watching television may be a form of relaxation for some, but is not a recommended method by experts. When we watch TV we are bombarded with commercials, ads, sounds and images. So how do we achieve relaxation? If th... more...
