在上一篇文中提到，面對壓力的心理抵抗能力，很大一部份取決於年幼時期的培養，但這並不表示童年就是一切的關鍵。現代許多心理學家認為，早期記憶固然重要，但後天的環境和教育也具有相當的影響力。
尤其是缺乏韌性的人，比起有韌性的人，他們特別有改變人格特質的潛力，這可能是因為具有韌性的人他們的人格特質相對較穩定。
在韌性的許多因素當中，除了關係這頂最強的保護傘是需要和他人連結之外，其他因素，如穩定的情緒、幽默感和樂觀等等，也就是我們常說的人格特質。心理學家們研究字典，將不同語言中描述同樣特徵的一萬七千多個人格特質詞彙，濃…

This is a story about my first bike.

Often, the most difficult part about a writer’s life isn’t the writing at all. It’s about the sharing. It’s about a lack of confidence in the writer’s self that makes them wonder, why would anyone care what I have to say?
As it is the last week of 2017, all of us are busy in 2017 reviewing and 2018 planning. Here i am…
Sorry Mr. Shakespeare for stolen your more abused quote but it’s the best that fits my…
I recently came across one of those articles that constantly circulate on our Facebook feeds, the ones with the catchy titles such as “10 ways to know if he’s into you,” or “12 personality traits that prove you’re an annoying girlfriend.” You know, those articles none of us really…
This was, by far, the most eventful year I’ve ever had. Like ever.
One digital ad agency, five car breakdowns, and several Meralco bills later, I find myself still amazed by how much I went through this year.
‘No one wants to read me’. That’s one of the key sentiment that stops a lot of people from writing publicly — the belief that no one wants to read what they have to say. However, in my case, I write like no one is reading.
Are you still looking for an extra boost to increase your productivity? It seems that you’ve come to the right place. For now on I can say that I’ve found some great productivity tricks, however I am way passionate about upgrading my productivity even more.
I spent a lot of years in training and teaching. One of the ideas I found least often was that of creativity. After a while of attending school, most students had that drummed out of them.
It was my good fortune to work in places where I could spend time during the day designing lessons and assignments that rejuvenated the…

What the..Is she on about?
Writing down our thoughts and feelings on paper is a meditative act because it is characterized by calm reflection. Writing helps to slow down the feverish pace of our thinking.It helps to connect with our inner selves and communicate with our subconscious minds. However,one must approach the task of journaling as a serious exercise in self-introspection and not as a boring trivial routine.
It’s that end of the year again when multiple books make a sale on, ‘How 2018 is…
When we create we put a part of ourselves out into the world at large. We take our creation and make it available for sharing.
That’s a big risk.
Letting others into the private world of our souls can sting on occasion. It can also feel great when we show that part of our lives to the right people.
As we get ready to say goodbye to 2017 — it is time for us to really think about…

Makes sense since so much time is spent in meetings and doing “interrupted” work that it’s not about the amount of time spent working (harder), but how much of it is uninterrupted (smarter).
Reese, I like these thoughts, “You must always challenge what you know. There’s always more to learn and another challenge to overcome”.
The life of a sitcom character is simple.
I don’t know about you but I love a good list and I talk about why today. I also share a little bit of what has been going on in my life over the past few weeks as well as what I have in store for the new…
Great story, Karen. As we become adults we should be critical about what has been imprinted on us in our childhood, and sometimes it takes a lot of time (sometimes a life is not enough…). Being critical does not mean necessarily that we should deny what has been taught to us — it could be of value — . It simply means to search for our truth. I think this is a milestone of personal growth.
Enjoyed reading this, deaja lovely write up …keep glowing and growing 🌻
Ben, excellent read! “Moreover, it is only by investing in what you’re doing that you’ll experience the psychological shift needed to achieve your goals. Once invested, your identity towards what you are doing changes. You demonstrate to yourself that you have skin in the game. You’ve put yourself physically, not just emotionally, in a position where you must move forward.
