1. You’re constantly striving to understand the human condition. You notice everything – the way someone hesitates before they speak, the way their eyes light up when they see someone they love. You often notice all the things other people seem to miss and you seek understanding for the logic and motivation behind how people behave. You want to understand the human condition from every angle because it helps give you insight and perspective on your own life. 2. You’re inherently curious about the way other people live. You love talking to people from varying cultures and backgrounds because you love learning about how other people live and what makes them tick. You enjoy seemingly random interactions with strangers because that’s where you can often learn the most about other people. 3. You’re self-aware about your shortcomings and strengths. You know the things about yourself that make you not such an ideal person and you’re also aware of the things that make you really g...

Let's start😊 1. a knowledge you can't do it all Many of us have a tendency to think we can do more than we actually can. We take on more and more projects and responsibility and wear numerous hats.

The steps listed below are in order of what to look at first. They start by looking at the root cause which allows you to realise why you think the way you do. Then, you can look at ways to improve and change your negative mindset over time. 1 What is the cause of your negative mindset? This is a great place to start, because there will be a reason for the way that you think. So, I will list a few areas that you can think about to see if you can find the root cause. Look at your life and see if your negative mindset has stemmed from any of these areas: Past emotional trauma. Past or current illness. Living an unhealthy lifestyle. Chemical imbalance or nutritional deficiency. Parents/guardians/family/friends think and speak in a negative way.

1. They don’t waste time feeling sorry for themselves. Instead, they express gratitude. “Feeling sorry for yourself is self-destructive,” Morin writes. “Indulging in self-pity hinders living a full life.” It wastes time, creates negative emotions, and hurts your relationships.

Oprah Winfrey has a strong grip on her power. People give away their power when they lack physical and emotional boundaries, Morin writes. You need to stand up for yourself and draw the line when necessary. If other people are in control of your actions, they define your success and self-worth. It’s important that you keep track of your goals and work toward them. Morin uses Oprah Winfrey as an example of someone with a strong grip on their power. Winfrey grew up dealing with poverty and sexual abuse, bu...

1. Stand Up Straight Standing up straight is probably the most powerful technique to projecting confidence through body language. Keeping your back straight, your shoulders back and your head held high displays status, power and that you are in control of your life. It can be tiring at first, especially if you have spent a lifetime slouching or bending over a computer, but it will become easier over time and you’ll soon be walking tall without even trying. 2. Keep Your Chin And Head Up Confident people are always looking ahead, never down at the ground. Looking down communicates that you are insecure or shy. Whether you are standing in a crowd or walking down a street, always keep your head up and your eyes looking straight ahead. 3.

If you keep your hands securely in your pockets then that...

According to several studies, smiling can trick your brain into feeling happy, even when you feel sad as you're smiling. Action Steps:  When you wake up in the morning, stand in front of your mirror and smile at yourself. Yes, you will feel foolish, but practice smiling to yourself for a minute or two. When you're in your car or alone at your desk, practice smiling. Be aware of the impact smiling has on other people, and remind yourself to smile more often with others. 2. Pay attention to posture. You practice good posture when your position sitting or standing creates the least amount of strain on supporting...
