The MOTIVATION TRIANGLE
What is Motivation comprised of?
The MOTIVATION TRIANGLE comprises of three main components with the foundation being BELIEF.
You need to know three things:
- What to do i.e. BEHAVIOR,
- Why you do what you do i.e. BENEFIT or outcomes
- Third most important component is BELIEF in ACTIONS.
Thus as shown above, without BELIEF the full structure collapses and hence belief is the cornerstone of MOTIVATION.

The PRESENT is indeed a GIFT
Have you realized this gift of God?
The PRESENT is indeed a GIFT is what I have realized too late and this is why I have taken a pledge to focus my time and attention on the present moment. Have you taken the pledge yet?
Research has proven that focusing on the now can not only lead to health benefits, it can improve our focus, health and overall well being.
Our brain is naturally wired to worry about the future and regret about the past and hence it takes intense focus and training of the mind to be mindful.
The realization of the now has been captured beautifully by Eckart Tolle in his book The Power of Now.

This blog post is all about the need of guarding against NOCEBO effect which has been explained below.
Whenever we feed negative inputs to the brain the neural circuits in the brain related to negative emotions get strengthened.

All of this results in weakening the immune system and makes our life miserable.

Being Human Centric in AI era
Why AI can never replace Human touch?
In this age where AI is all pervasive, being human centric in the AI era is paramount. This blog post highlights how the human touch can never be replaced by AI.
The ability of human beings to tell stories, form social bonds innately defines us. This has carried on from the caveman times. Hence no technology howsoever advanced can take its place.
