Self-Care
Self-care is often placed in the lonely bottom of our to-do list.
We underestimate self-care activities and the impact they have on our lives.
Certain practices seem irrelevant (like writing a daily journal to clear your mind) or even self-indulgent(like a long, relaxing bath). The paradox is that the more time you care for yourself, the more generosity, patience and love you have for others.
The Magic Morning Mindset
The way we start our day sets the tone of the day.
The Magic Morning Mindset helps us become calmer, more joyful, and more connected with oneself. Your morning routine can be anything from yoga, dance, or writing, with your focus on: M- Movement, A- Alignment, G- Gratitude, I- Intuition/Intention, C- Connection.

Start Your Mornings Right
Mornings are mostly spent on auto pilot mode, leading to each day being a routine affair. Mornings can be lived intentionally, and are fundamental in changing our days, years and entire lives.
...Activities To Do
- Writing a Journal: Writing acts like a mind emptier and one feels energized and ready to go.
- Read your Yesterday Journal: It gives a fresh and clear perspective to what you did the previous day.
- Set a Goal: Set a goal for yourself and try to follow it during the day.
- Opening Windows: Let the fresh air inside, letting yourself be refreshed and receptive.
Move
- Exercise: Get yourself moving in the morning and bless your body with endorphins for the whole day. Going for a short walk also sets up the stage for the day, making you aware and energetic.
- A Short Yoga session: Do some Surya Namaskars or Sun Salutation, and give yourself calm and balance, in just five minutes.
- Spend time in the Garden: If possible, go to the garden or terrace and breathe in the fresh air, clearing your mind and your senses.

Instagram grabs your attention

Instagram subculture
Following a genre on Instagram can present a wealth of ideas. The algorithm drives users toward content similar to what they've seen or liked. However, this can lead and encourage users toward extremities.
For instance, if you are following fitness gurus or sponsored athletes. Then add some photo-editing to alter the body-image you want to project. At the same time, the algorithm continues to feed you with what you like or want until your feed becomes a mosaic of increasingly extreme exercisers.
A form of manipulation
- Instagram is in the business of data-collection and media selling. It's estimated value is more than $100bn (£77bn).
- Third-party indexing tools glean data from what is posted and sell it in the form of brand analytics, as information for governments, security and surveillance firms, and corporations.
- Images posted to Instagram are used to train its proprietary image-recognition software.
- Instagram follows your movements across the Internet, and you find hints that it is stalking you.

Defining charisma
The German sociologist from the early 20th-century Max Weber wrote charisma is a quality that sets an individual “apart from ordinary men,” and causes others to treat him as “endowed with supernatural, superhuman, or at least specifically exceptional powers or qualities.”
Charismatic techniques can be taught
Charismatic Leadership Tactics range from the use of metaphors and storytelling to nonverbal methods of communication like open posture and animated, representative gestures at key moments.
The more charismatic leadership tactics used, the more individuals will be seen as leader-like by others.

Share your resolution to set boundaries. Explain why it’s important to you and how you believe it will benefit you.
When others set boundaries
People who have trouble setting boundaries usually have trouble responding to boundaries set by others.
