How Positive Reinforcement Can Boost Your Self-Confidence
Positive reinforcement is a powerful tool that can have a profound impact on an individual's self-confidence. The ability to boost one's confidence can make a significant difference in their performance, job satisfaction, and overall sense of well-being. The impact of positive reinforcement was demonstrated in a recent experiment that involved a volunteer being made to believe that she had successfully sunk a pair of blindfolded free throws, despite missing ten shots in a row without a blindfold earlier. The positive reinforcement that she received after the "successful" shots boosted her self-confidence, resulting in a significant improvement in her next round of shots.

The Importance of Self-Care for Mental Health
Self-care is a term that has gained a lot of popularity in recent years, particularly in the realm of mental health. It refers to the practice of taking intentional actions to care for oneself physically, emotionally, and mentally. While it may seem like a buzzword, there is actually scientific evidence to support the idea that self-care is essential for maintaining good mental health.

Stood Up
My phone vibrated as my hand touched the rear door of my office building, as I left work on a Wednesday evening in mid-July. I pulled it out of my bag as I briskly crossed the car park, keen not to lose any time as I made my way to the train station. I needed to get the fast train at 12 past 5 to make it to the restaurant in central London for my 6 o’clock booking

People Pleaser
Today I was doing well. I mean, it had been a long day, but I was looking forward to getting pizza with my family. We don't eat out very often, for a multitude of reasons, so tonight was a special treat.

Mashallah: a Canadian in Kuwait
When I was 23, I moved from Canada to Kuwait for work in an English speaking private school. A little backstory about me, I have ADHD. It can make people who have it develop emotionally slower than their peers. Almost can make them blurt things out without thinking and interrupt. That’s not an excuse, it’s an explanation.

The girl in the slum
Dear Mama, Every morning I wake up to your loud shrilly voice screaming my name. It never gets easier, even after sixteen years. But today, as I sit here with a swollen shoulder from your bamboo cane, I can't help but wonder if God hears our cries. I know we go to church every Sunday and Wednesday, and we give almost everything we have to the church on Thanksgiving. But sometimes I wonder if it's all worth it. Do you truly believe in what you do, or do you only do it because the pastor says you should?

What are Mind spheres?
How did the Mind spheres of emotions increase our conversion rate? I am the creator of the Mind Tracker service. Basically, Mind Tracker is a rethought diary of emotions. We released it a year ago. Keeping a diary of emotions is not easy at all, on average, you will feel the effect in 2-4 weeks. It’s really lazy and sometimes even infuriating to log in and mark your mood and emotions every day. Even though this is the first sign that the therapeutic effect is already beginning. But now less about the therapy itself, and more about how we tried to keep the users’ attention, and what we did.
