The Art Of Taking Prudent Decisions
Choosing the next right step can be a bit of a task at times, we all have been through the phase when every choice seems equally correct, so at such times a rule to make a choice can help a lot.
So here is mine, i call it "The rule of 5", so think about following three scenarios before finalizing your decision-
1) 5 minutes outcome- how will you feel 5 minutes later when you act upon this choice
2) 5 days/weeks- Now think about how will your life will get affected in a time period of 5 days to 5 weeks
3) 5 years- And finally see how it will fit in your life in a span of 5 years.
Hope this helps

Emotions Are Fake
At times we feel utterly happy and energetic and sometimes way too gloomy and blue, life seems to be playing a continuous game of varying our happiness levels on daily infact hourly basis.
But the truth is that our every emotion is backed by a hormone, a chemical our body produces, which had a great role in primitive ages of human beings, when survival was the prime key.
So basically dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, adrenaline etc are some basic hormones which effect our moods. A different combo of these can make us happy, sad, devastated or blissful.
We will talk more about these very soon.

Role Of Different Hormones
Dopamine - This is attached to the reward circuit of your brain, so when people see/smell sugar, ciggerate smoke, and a good looking girl this chemical surges in and motivates you to achieve it asap, it the reward your mind and body wants to achieve.
Serotonin - When you feel down or sad for no special reason, it's an indication your serotonin levels are going down, it's basically a mood regulator hormone, which helps you relax and be calm.
Oxytocin- Also called the love hormone, as the name suggests it's plays role in social bonding and relationships, and gives a feeling of being loved & cared.
