How to Motivate Yourself to Study in College

We’re in the beginning of the first semester of College…again. But not for me anymore. I’ve been through the grind of starting every academic semester for the past 10 years — from being a freshman and all the way to being a Ph.D student. I’ve studied a lot of things. See my story for more. And I absolutely love learning and growing. However, studying and motivating yourself to study daily is a tough challenge for many people. It’s not easy to get up every day, go to classes, come back after a long day and still have to study some…

6 Insider Tips to Succeed in College

Going to college is an experience everyone should have. It’s the place where you meet a ton of new people, learn about exciting things, and get to find more about yourself and your interests. College also comes with its own set of challenges. At the end of the day, students are evaluated based on their performance in their classes, whether it’s giving a presentation, writing a final paper, or taking exams. Failing to do well on any of these things would not only harm your GPA, but can also put a lot of stress on you as you begin to…

How to Simplify a Complex Life

Do you have a lot of stuff in your house or apartment? Is your closet full of things you haven’t worn in a few months, or even a few years? What about your shoes? Do you have 10 pairs and you find yourself mostly wearing one or two pairs? What about your kitchen? What about your living room? Most people own a lot of things that they don’t need, and they keep them in and around the house just in case they might need them in the future. However, their space and their minds are absolutely cluttered. So how can…

Trying Minimalism After Losing Money

Approaching your life with a minimalist attitude is something that proves more and more necessary these days. The economic collapse of 2008, characterized today by leading economists as the worst financial collapse since the Great Depression, is the main cause behind the reduction of consumer wealth in the US in particular and the globe in general. Because of that financial disaster, many people have experienced dramatic and devastating changes in their lifestyles. They used to wine and dine at the finest restaurants, but now they’re barely able to make it through till the end of the month. They used to…

How to Deal With Failure

Failure is an emotionally loaded word that elicits negative and unwanted feelings. Failure is often a statement about our performance. And it says that we couldn’t live up to our own expectations or the expectations of our mentors, parents, and even customers. But not all failures are the same. Small failures are necessary for personal growth and for the growth of your business, but it’s up to you to use the small failures as learning opportunities or neglect them until they gradually become into big and possibly irreversible failures. In this post, I want to shed some light on the…

The “Steps Method” to Break Bad Habits

People almost never succeed in breaking a bad habit. We often hear stories about people who quit smoking or drinking only to get back to their old ways and start the process all over again. Being addicted to your bad habit, whatever it might be, can enslave you. Chronic obsession with a bad habit can rob you from being present – you’ll be preoccupied with the memory of your bad habit to the detriment of being in the now. And if it becomes compulsive, it will begin to harm your productivity and also affect your self-esteem and sense of self-worth.…

Willing to Overcome Limiting Beliefs

People can sometime be their own toughest critics and their own worst enemies — all at the same time. They let their limiting beliefs step between themselves and their goals. They convince themselves that they’re not cut out to become successful, or realize their dreams, or reach financial abundance and live the life they truly deserve and desire. Their limiting beliefs have become so ingrained in their subconscious that they really don’t need anyone to put them down. They put themselves down by themselves and give up without any external pressure whatsoever. They’ve trained themselves to lose out before they…

Live Your Own Life

People hold their own views of how to live a good life. It’s based on their personal beliefs as well as the experiences and trials they’ve had. However, some people believe that their experiences are exemplary. And that’s how it will turn out for everyone else. Accordingly, they might try to influence you to take the same path they’ve taken or suck us into what they believe to be right. They don’t believe that the path you’ve chosen will yield the “best” results. And there is no shortage of such people. They often believe, consciously or unconsciously, that their way…

Natural Ways to Enhance Your Mood

On some days, you just feel crappy. Yup, I am going to say it how it is. You don’t feel like getting out of bed in the morning. You don’t feel like going to the gym and you don’t feel like going to work. You’re grumpy and not in the mood to do anything. Your mood can and will determine whether you will stay true to your word and follow through on your commitments for the day. When people are in a bad mood (or they’re not in a peak state), they will skip the gym and their veggies and…

How to Practice Self-Compassion (The Right Way)

The road to success is filled with obstacles and roadblocks, and before you succeed you’re going to fail; not once, but many, many times. It’s an inevitable part of the process. And what determines whether you will get up and keep trying instead of letting go and surrendering is your ability to deal with failure emotionally. One of the hallmarks of success is having high self-efficacy. In my article on self-efficacy, I discussed the importance of having an unrelenting drive to realize the compelling vision that you’ve created of yourself. I described self-efficacy as being part and parcel of the…
