Overcome Resistance of Ego

How to overcome resistance of ego?

To overcome the resistance of your ego you need to make a transition from excessive self pride (I) to your divine Self in order to realize your calling.

Ego is closely related to Resistance that is all pervasive unless we train our minds to realize a calling to leave a legacy behind.

When someone realizes a true calling self pride takes a back seat and focus on leaving behind a legacy takes center stage.

We realize a divine presence in our lives as against anxiety and depression when we are driven by self pride.

Positive Emotions Psychology

Understanding the psychology of Positive Emotions

Positive emotions psychology helps us understand about the feelings that make us feel fulfilled and lead to a happy life.

Optimism out of all positive emotions stands out in my opinion.

As Simon Sinek says: “Optimism is not the denial of the current state, it is the belief that the future if bright.”

Research has shown that being optimistic and having faith in god can be like a therapy that can enliven us lives and improve our immune systems.

This quote of Simon Sinek on optimism is indeed inspiring to the core. This enlightens us on how progression depends on taking the risk of optimism.

Rethinking Teaching and Learning

How can we rethink teaching and effective learning?

If you are a teacher this blog post is for you. This will educate you how rethinking teaching and learning can make education more effective.

IN most institutions and schools a lion share of the teachers end up giving one way lectures.

Though dumping of information can help students pass their tests in the near term, passing arduous tests over a lifetime need rethinking existing methods.

The teachers who encourage students to challenge the status quo and ask questions end up being way more effective in the long run.

This insight inspired from Adam Grant’s book Think Again elaborates on the same.
