Why do we daydream?

 Is it because Dreaming is better than the Reality? Or is it the other way around?

Science says that People were less happy when daydreaming than when they were focused on the task at hand. Other studies indicate a wandering mind is more common when our mood is low, and that it can enhance feelings of depression.

Whereas Science also says, Daydreaming Is Good for the Mind. People with more working memory can stay on task, even when thinking about other things. If this happens often you probably have a pretty capable working memory, new research suggests. This mind wandering, it seems, actually gives your working memory a workout.

I feel its both ways!
I Daydream mostly when either I have nothing to do or when I am depressed and I dont want to face the reality but, very recently I realised that this way we become less productive and we lose focus.

Even if you like to day-dream you should know how to detach yourself from it and get back to the reality.

I have very often seen people lost in their thoughts be it on the metro or bus or even while walking in the mall and most of them either look stressed or they just dont have anything else to do.

The amount of time we spend in daydreaming can become productive as well if we try to practice meditation. Yes, it helps.
1) Meditation
2) Get up and walk around
3) Commit your time into something that requires focus
4) Sleep well
5) Try to give up stress slowly through exercises or talking to someone.

How To Win At An Interview

So I write for anyone who is interested in Personal Growth, Motivation or Entrepreneurship.

But this topic is for each and everyone of us.

One of the moments that makes you feel extremely NERVOUS it is when you go for an INTERVIEW.

I have heard so many people say “ I AM THE BEST CANDIDATE BUT I NEVER GET THE JOB ONLY BECAUSE I FAIL AT THE INTERVIEW”

So What do Recruiters/Interviewers Say about this?

I recently met a Recruiter from Dubai Islamic Bank and as per him. They see the Factors below in their Interviewee

1)     THE X-FACTOR

2)     AWARENESS ON WHATS GOING AROUND THEM (NEWS OR TRENDS)

3)     CONFIDENCE IN THE WAY THEY WALK AND IN THE WAY,THEY TALK

4)     NO DESPERATION TOWARDS THE JOB BUT PASSION TOWARDS THE JOB

5)     HAVE A CONSTANT TONE THAT SAYS, “I CAN DO THIS” SO BASICALLY SELLING YOURSELF THROUGHOUT THE INTERVIEW

6)     SITTING STRAIGHT INSTEAD OF HUNCHING OR FOLDING YOUR HANDS

7)     OVERALL BODY LANGUAGE (REFER TO MY LAST BLOG)

8)     ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT THE JOB

9)     NOT TALKING ILL ABOUT THE PREVIOUS EMPLOYERS OR JOBS

10)  NOT BEING TOO SERIOUS OR TOO FUNNY

These really helped me WIN AT MY RECENT INTERVIEW. Let me know if these tips were of Any Use. A Special Thanks to Mr. Cornel Fourie (HEAD OF HR AT THE DUBAI ISLAMIC BANK).

BODY LANGUAGE SPEAKS A 1000 WORDS

Body language speaks for itself! Your way of communication even before you start speaking. Yes, thats what BODY LANGUAGE does. It is non-verbal but expresses a lot more than words. It says way more than you can ever say. This is what makes you win a Job or lose it. Recruiters nowadays look at how one walks in, how do they greet people around them, In what posture do they keep their arms and legs. AND SADLY YOUR BODY LANGUAGE CAN NEVER LIE! So incase you want to "PRETEND" There are less chances your body language will support you.

There are certain aspects and traits that your body language coveys.
1) Confidence in yourself
2) Your achievements in life 
3) Humble OR Arrogant (it shows which one are you out of these two) 
4) How do you see the other person (Do you respect them or not, since it wrapping your hands infront of someone indicates the "I DONT CARE" behavior
5) It says all about your mood (i.e happy,sad,excited, not interested etc)
Your eyes they say a lot if you are stressed you will blink more often
Your Lips they will indicate nervousness if you bite them continuously
Your hands/fingers constant movement of hands shows discomfort and confusion.

You can research and understand more about these aspects of you BODY LANGUAGE

HOW DO YOU JUDGE A PERSON’S EMOTION THROUGH HIS BODY LANGUAGE?

7 Steps To Get You Back On Track When You Feel Lost 

(Personal Favorite)

If you are like any other human being then you have definitely felt lost at some point of time or you are going through that phase at this moment.This is perfectly normal and you being able to determine that you are not on track is a milestone in itself.I feel this every other day but, since I know my aims and goals I put myself back onto the track every now and then.So before we start you need to have aims and goals in your life that keep you going on and coming back the right track. We all go off track and start getting depressed but these 7 tips will help you control your mind in a healthy way.

 1) I have kept a diary in which I keep updating any details about what I dream to become (Professionally or as a person). Trust Me I cant emphasize on this enough. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT to have a record of something you want to become this shows your seriousness towards your dreams. I keep going back to my diary and reading what all did I write and how far have I come it always puts me back on track.

2) Go Online and Search for Meet up groups (people with similar interests) Entrepreneurs, motivators or just some people who are more experienced than you. Meet them and feel the difference. You will get SO INSPIRED like for real. This will also build your network.

3) Exercise and Meditate (IT HELPS FOR SURE). This has put me on track many times. I can see a clear path in front of my eyes while I close my eyes to meditate or while exercising. REFRESHES MY MIND.

4) Simplify your Goals and go easy on yourself. OVERTHINKING KILLS FOCUS. Calm down there is NO HURRY! TELL YOURSELF THIS.

5) Talk to yourself or to “YOUR MOST TRUSTHWORTHY PERSON” (Could be anyone) and think of reasons that distract you and how to deal with them in a healthy manner

6) Increase your knowledge and do research about ways to get to your goals (AGAIN GO ONLINE) and see how people with no resources have reached heights on success (NOT ONLY IN TERMS OF MONEY BUT OTHERWISE AS WELL)

7) NEVER STOP TRUSTING YOURSELF. Trust each and every trait you have. CONFIDENCE, PASSION, FOCUS or whatever good traits you have trust them. That makes you unique.

I have been through this “getting off the track” nearly every other year or at times once in 6 months when I evaluate my life choices but, then I pull up my shoes and step back onto the path I have chosen. All these 7 ways have helped me A LOT. Do try them and share with me if they were beneficial

Giving up Unhealthy Habits (2017-2018 Challenge)

What habits did I develop this Year?

Focus, dedication, hardworking nature, became passionate, became active, started spending more time with family and have become more tolerant and patient.
We all grow up to become mature and give up unhealthy habits and Traits. It might sound way to simple and straightforward but it really isn’t (LIKE FOR REAL).
For me I was never very fond of fast food or eating out but MY OBSESSION with rice and sugary stuff was what I wanted to give up. Like it really tasted my self-control.
I have learnt something from experience that you should be conscious of what you eat. I DON’T MEAN YOU SHOULD BE STINGY OR TOO CHOOSY but, if your meal has too much of carbohydrates or fats (ITS AN ALARM FOR YOU).

So what habits did I change over the last year

1)Wakeup early and have breakfast early
2)Include exercise in your routine (NOT ONLY FOR LOOSING WEIGHT but, to stay FIT). Maybe 20 minutes a day.
3)DON’T SKIP MEALS (THIS MAKES YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM WEAK)
4)Include fruits and vegetables in your routine (Develop taste for it)
5)Choose a hobby (YOU NEED TO)
6)Spend time with your family and at times go out with friends as well
7)Watch news or read it online to stay updated (THIS IS RELEVANT WHEN PEOPLE TALK TO YOU, IT LEAVES A GOOD IMPACT ON THEM and even you stay updated)
8)EDUCATE Yourself about Financial Literacy (If this interests you research about how and when should one invest in real state, stocks, bonds or anything else that is relevant)
9)Plan your day in which you give limited hours to yourself to use your mobile (SOCIAL MEDIA) and give more time to your family or friends instead
10)Write down your Career Goals for the next 2 years ATLEAST
These were all my experiences you can have your own list where you can give up unhealthy habits.

9 signs that indicate you are meant to be an Entrepreneur

OMG! My favorite Topic of all. ENTREPRENEURSHIP!

I have met people from different backgrounds and experiences but, all agree that they have achieved their dreams after they took the decision of standing up and making that difference in their way to look at life. People born with this mentality of an Entrepreneur are always different and stand out.

I have a very close friend whose way of talking, reacting to situations (especially in difficult times). Their way of thinking is always optimistic.

A lot of people are born with the “Entrepreneur” mentality but, you can always de-clutter your mind and start thinking like an Entrepreneur.

What did I learn about these People who are inspiring and focused

1)      They are Fearless

They don’t get scared of situations and they don’t run away. THEY FACE IT AND LEARN SOMETHING NEW.

2)      Risk taker to the next level!

Ofcourse most of them take measured risks but, their risk appetite is more than normal people

3)      You are a Self- Starter

You are good enough for yourself. YOU DON’T NEED MOTIVATION OR THAT ‘KICK’ from someone else. YOU know its you who can make the difference

4)      The Amount of Passion

From start to finish! They genuinely love their work. They overcome all the hurdles because of the passion

5)      You don’t take No for an Answer

Nah! That’s not an option YOU WOULD DO ANYTHING AND MAKE WAY and find a SOLUTION

6)      Problem Solver

This skill of being able to solve every sort of issue or atleast minimize the effect of it is THEIR THING.

7)      You are a Creative Thinker

YOU ARE “THINK OUT OF THE BOX” kinda person who can amuse people with the creative thinking skills

8)      You are Competitive

Being able to stand out in the crowd. YAS THAT’S YOU

9)      You are Hardworking, Courageous, Focused and have a Strong will power

There is a lot more to this mindset of being an ENTREPRENEUR but, it takes a lot of courage to go against the normal mindset and start something with limited resources (Mostly).

THE MOST INSPIRING PEOPLE I HAVE MET ARE ENTREPRENUERS so much to learn from them when you sit and talk to them.

GO AHEAD AND MAKE THAT DIFFERENCE IF YOU WISH TO START SOMETHING OF YOUR OWN IRRESPECTIVE OF WHAT OTHERS SAY, THE RESOURCES YOU HAVE AND ANY OTHER HURDLE.

What is the Secret Behind the “Money Mindset”?

We are a part of this rat race and its not just our generation this has been the way of life since decades. 

You grow up seeing your dad struggling to earn money, going out everyday to make money & once he is back home you get to listen to stories about how he doesn't get paid well for the amount of work he does, how his salary is not paid on time and a lot more.

If your dad is a businessman you must have heard of struggles regarding bringing in business.

We grow up to go through the same struggle. Some of us are able to accomplish our dreams at the age we want whereas, some of us or most of us keep working hard for our dreams and the dreams of our families and die without getting any of those dreams accomplished.

The main and the most common issue is 

Liabilities > Assets & Income

So what is that differentiates Us from people who slow and steady win the race?

How are they able to accomplish their dreams?

When they were one of our batch-mates in university. They had the exact same issues as us. What makes them more successful in terms of their earnings and net worth?

These are some of the aspects a Rich and Successful Person will Never Tell you especially Number 2 (FINANCIAL LITERACY)

1) Mentality

We grow up listening to these phrases that I have mentioned below. 

" Study hard to get a job" 

"OUR HOUSE AND CAR ARE OUR ASSETS" 

I agree you need to study well but, studying is not the only requirement that will help you earn money. You do need a job to start working towards your dreams but, it is a milestone NOT THE FINAL DESTINATION.

Today so many toppers of different universities are Jobless why? Because of their mentality. They have done Masters and PHD from the best universities but, the issue is with the mentality. STRESS & COMPETITION are a part of that Mentality.

2) Understanding of Money (Financial Literacy)

What is Financial Literacy? This is about how you see money. If your dreams are dependent on making money then you are doing something wrong. 

It is one of the main resources to help you accomplish your dreams but, ITS NOT THE ONLY aspect of it.

3) Perseverance with Ease 

Keep working towards your dream but, dont be too hard on yourself.

 4) Reach A point where Money works for you instead of you working for Money

I have read stories of these great businessmen who own empire of businesses and their accomplishment is not only that their net worth is huge but, it is also because now people work for them while they can stay and chill at home.

So you need to start with hardwork initially but, later you need to reach a point where your money works for you.

5) Know how to retain and grow 

Many people were able to build empire of money but, soon lost it since their mentality towards Money didnt help them prioritize how to spend the money.

I am not an expert but, I have been able to write this blog down after talking to a couple of experienced businessmen.

Also I would highly recommend each one of you to read books on Financial Stability, Financial Growth and how to change your mentality about Money.
