  • What are HALT Risk States?

    What are HALT Risk States?

    The key to Maintain a life in recovery is a combination of both self-care and self-awareness. By taking care of ourselves and recognizing a few signs, we can prevent sickness. One of the tools people use is HALT risk states.

    WHAT’S IN IT

    HALT Risk States

    In general, HALT means to Stop. But here, It Stands for HUNGER, ANGER, LONELY, TIRED. This will remind us to take a moment (HALT) and ask ourselves if we are feeling Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired.

    It looks to be simple enough, but when these basic needs are not met, we are likely to have self-destructive behaviours including Sickness. Therefore, hunger, anger, loneliness, and tiredness are easy to mark and serve as a warning system before things reach a breaking point.

    If we keep trying to work when we are hungry, angry, lonely, or tired, our performance will almost get affected. There is a chance that we may harm our both physical and halt mental health and risk damaging our healthy relationships. 

    The word “HALT” is Important. It’s a wake-up call to stop what we are doing and thinking about some key aspects of our well-being – and to change harmful habits.

    Therefore, each of the four HALT states can be a serious problem on its own.

    HUNGER

    Hunger HALT RISK STATES

    It describes the clear physical condition of lack (need) of food. We all know how important it is to have regular nutritional meals or food — preferably small in size and frequent in number. 

    Hunger can also point toward emotional needs such as hunger for attention, comfort, understanding, or togetherness Additionally, Hunger can be both physical or emotional.

    Understanding the need to eat is quite straightforward. However, we should remind ourselves not just to eat, but to eat well. Meeting nutritional needs allows our body to operate to the highest potential, and will keep us feeling better.

    Generally, when we HALT it checks our situation, we can describe a hunger for less tangible things such as affection, Success, and understanding.

    This is why having a support system is very important. Those who care and love will give food for heart, and relieve the emotional hunger that we are feeling.

    To overcome hunger, do not turn to bad habits or negative people. This will not fill the physical or emotional emptiness that we are feeling. Instead, find something wholesome to eat with a good friend or loved one.

    ANGER

    There are sometimes when anger is absolutely the right response. Actually, we can’t really plan for anger. It comes and goes often based on outside effects.

    The key to anger is remembering that there is nothing wrong with it. Anger is okay and it is even natural. However, there can be something wrong with how we define anger. Anger Calls actions on our part, and very often those actions are unhealthy.

    Additionally, anger is a little bit more difficult and the solution is a bit more challenging for some people. The advantage over anger is nothing wrong with the feeling of anger!! But at the same time, most of us have never learned how to define anger constructively.

    The way we express anger often takes in high destructive forms. We either turn our anger against ourselves or against others.

    Anger can range from finding fault and minimizing abusive language or insult and physical violence. Anger can also be like a repeated tape or band loop. If we can’t control our anger, it can damage our relationships, and even cause us other stress. Research shows that it can also have a negative effect on our health.

    LONELY

    Lonely refers to being separate oneself. It is similar to hunger in that the solution or the answer is the same, namely Group. However, loneliness points to the difficulty of reaching out.

    This might have several causes, one being that isolation or separate is a childhood survival tool, the other can be emotional or clinical depression.

    Loneliness can also occur when we are by ourselves or when surrounded by many people. We isolate/separate ourselves when we don’t feel like others can understand us, withdrawing into ourselves out of fear or doubt.

    Being alone is self-imposed situation loneliness has also been social isolation or separation that has been shown to be strongly associated with worry, depression and poor self-care, as well as a whole range of physical health conditions.

    Social isolation may be less frequent at younger ages, but is then even more strongly associate with poor health conditions and behaviours than at older ages.

    It’s possible to feel isolated or being separate and lonely even when we are with other people, including colleagues, family members, and friends. Building high-quality connections with others are also important to our sense of happiness or comfort, even if we are not a natural Socially confident Person.

    TIRED or TIREDNESS

    Tiredness can be physical, and the most common occurrence of it is when we ignore our need to take a break, we push ourselves too far and we also ignore our bodies’ signs resulting in Feeling or being tired.

    It is also stated that we don’t have enough sleep we are in a state of Tired/tiredness. Generally, in high-pressure workplaces like office/job, it is often accepted as part of the job.

    Everyone is always in a hurry or rush and working long hours might feel under pressure to do the same.

    Therefore Tiredness or fatigue can have a serious impact on decision-making, memory, and long-term health.

    In our increasingly stressful modern environments, fatigue or the state of being tired has become one of the most common symptoms reported across all types of medical consultation or discussion. It is almost clear that halt mental health conditions are related to fatigue/tiredness,

    Tiredness takes a toll on our bodies, mind, and spirit. When our days are filled with meetings, meetings, and activities it is easy to ignore how tired we become.

    However, running on low energy compromises our capability to think and our capacity to cope or manage.

    How to Spot the HALT Signs

    • To respond to the HALT risk states, the first step is to recognize or find them. This means that becoming more aware of our emotions and behaviours – our own, and those of the people we work with.
    • Developing our emotional intelligence can help us to notice when we are feeling isolated within our team, for example, at the times when we are lost, we will get up and go. It also lets or enables us to spot these feelings in others.
    •  Daily Recording of our experiences, thoughts and feelings is a good way to keep track of any potential or possible problems. We can monitor not only the amount of sleep and exercise we are getting but also whether we are eating regularly and healthily.
    •  Additionally, we can also practice mindfulness or carefulness, it helps us to become more self-aware. Mindfulness has been shown to develop emotional intelligence. It’s a way of observing our thoughts and feelings without getting carry away.
    • If you think colleagues, loved ones or friends are struggling because of one or more of these HALT states, talk to them, sensitively and in confidence. This might require a difficult conversation, but getting the issue out into the open is the first step toward resolving it.

    Dealing with the HALT Risk States

    We have seen what are the halt Risk states and how to spot or define these states. Now we will look at Dealing with these HALT Risk States.

    Hunger       

    • Taking care of our nutritional needs or diets and eating regularly before hunger brings out the worst in us.
    • Emotional hunger is another need to fulfil, and it’s more complicated than having a healthy meal.
    • Eating a good or healthy breakfast is important for beating hunger during the rest of the day. According to research – a regular, balanced breakfast helps us to maintain a healthy metabolism or energy.
    • Eating regularly and healthy also helps us to stop snacking on high-fat, high-sugar foods. These can depress our mood, and they are linked to obesity/fatness and other health issues.

     ANGER

    • Calmly talking to the person having an issue with or fixing the problem you are having. If it is making anger or out of control and you are not ready to speak, express yourself in other ways. 
    • We know that anger is bad, expressing a need, communicating and workout is a great start. Techniques such as breathing, mindfulness, exercise, martial arts, and even journaling keep a diary can be great ways to deal with our anger.
    • Apart from managing our anger with techniques such as positive thinking and imagination. If we feel that we need a physical release, try it breathing exercises, drinking water etc.
    • When we are in a state of anger just stop or halt the work we are doing. Stop what is happening to you and. Stop it all. Just relax and breathe then getaway. Apart from this take a minute. Count to 10. Whatever it is, it helps in getting out of the immediate situation.

    LONELINESS

    • If you are feeling lonely, just stop or halt the work you are doing or when you feel depressed at times at that time if you need just someone to talk to them which includes going to a meeting, calling a friend, or visiting a loved one might be much helpful in getting rid of loneliness
    • Feeling loneliness at the workplace lets the manager or colleagues know they may be able to help or involve in projects or activities that make it easier for you to make strong connections.
    • Take lunch breaks away from your desk i.e., having lunch at other places in the office where you can talk to people from other teammates.
    • Don’t create walls between family and good friends. Try to be open. And Make really strong and healthy relationships.

    TIREDNESS

    • Taking the time to stop a particular thing is important when we are tired. Satisfying the physical need to sleep, rest, and renew is critical to keep healthy and physically, as well as emotionally.
    • A good night’s sleep or a little nap (Short sleep), taking a break from the physical activities may be all we need to change our outlook for the day.
    • Get your sleep every night. This might help a lot in overcoming tiredness. But make sure that we actually find rest in our waking hours, as well. This could mean running our passion or goal. 
    • If your day is particularly hectic or tight, take a short break by listening to music, going for a walk, or simply taking a deep breath. Recharging our body, mind, and spirit will help us to get away from tiredness

    Therefore, these were some of the steps in dealing with HALT risk states.

  • Kano Model Analysis – Delivering Products That Will Delight

    Kano Model Analysis – Delivering Products That Will Delight

    The main aim of any organization is to ensure the fulfillment of the satisfactory needs of customers. Also, The Kano model is a theoretical concept or a tool used for determining Product Development and customer satisfaction. 

    Noriaki Kano developed it, so, a Writer and an educator in the field of Quality management in 1891. The Kano model was also called the Customer Satisfaction Model.

    WHAT’S IN IT

    Noriaki was a Japanese researcher who mentioned some ideas and techniques regarding Customer satisfaction and Product development. Hence, This design of ideas is called the Kano model. The Kano Model covers the following premises.

    • The Dimensions of the Kano Model
    • Five categories of customer preferences
    • The Nature of Features of the Kano Model
    • Determining the need for product features through customers by Questionnaire

    The Dimensions of the Kano Model

    • Satisfaction
    • Functionality

    Satisfaction and Functionality

    It is a common term used in the field of marketing. So, This term is to measure the expectation of a consumer about a product or a service provided by a company.

    As far as my knowledge goes, Satisfaction is a subjective concept, which means it’s different for every person. For, e.g., A boy would be happy about

    purchasing a bike for him on the other hand. A boy would never be satisfied even if we get him a car.

    So, Noriaki designed the Kano Model intending to determine Customer Satisfaction. Kano Model proposed a series of Satisfaction from Total Satisfaction or Delight to Total Dissatisfaction or Frustration.

    Meanwhile, In the above diagram, there are different levels of Satisfaction, and it changes with every customer.

    But Satisfaction also depends upon the Functionality of the product. Hence, Functionality can be Investment, Sophistication, or how well a product feature has implemented or how much we have invested in it. Whether it is a waste of time and resources, or we must focus more on it. 

     If we take Investment as an aspect of Functionality, then the more you spend on the up-gradation of your feature more, it will add to the Satisfaction of the consumer.

    E.g., If you want to buy a car that has all the necessary elements, but the company has also invested in other new features like a high-quality stereo system, then it would increase the Functionality of the car and eventually will add up to the Satisfaction of the customers.

    Also, Here we took Investment or cost as an aspect of Functionality. The Functionality is mainly dependent on the Product features. So let’s study the four features proposed by Nairoki as per customer preferences. 

    Four categories of customer preferences

    1.   Must be Feature

    2.   Performance Features

    3.   Attractive Features

    4.   Indifferent Features

    Must-Be Features

    These are the essential features that a product must have to enter the market. So, In simple words, these features are the Basic requirements that a customer expects from a particular product.

    They are also called the Threshold Features. Here the term Threshold is used because these features are regarded as an “ENTRY TICKET” of a product or firm.

    So, Customers take these features for granted. Because these features fulfill only the customers’ basic needs, but if these features are absent in a particular product, then it leads the consumer to Total Dissatisfaction.

    E.g., If a car doesn’t have a steering wheel or a handbrake in it, it would not get entry into the market because they are the essential features that a vehicle should have.

    Performance Features

    These attributes are more than enough for the fulfillment of the needs that they are expecting from the product. Hence, In the Kano Model, these features are explained as attributes that increase the customers’ enjoyment level. Due to this, they are called Satisfiers. So, These Performance features are those features that are directly concerning the Functionality of the product. Also, The more we provide, the more our customers will get satisfied.

    Performance attributes are the metrics that are the bases of the Business aspiration or Decision. So keeping these features in mind, a company prioritizes its Investment, resources, etc.

    The price of a product that a customer is willing to pay is also directly related to the performance attributes of the product. Also, The higher the performance attribute, the higher the price the customer is willing to pay for the product.

    For example, If we compare a Ferrari with a TATA Nano, we can say that Ferrari costs higher because of the increased performance features of the car. At the same time, Nano doesn’t have any extra performance features.

    Attractive Features

    The Kano Model also includes certain Attractive Features or so-called Exciters. Excitement features are mostly unforeseen by the customer. They come as a surprise for the customers. Usually, customers feel satisfied with a product when their requirements or basic needs get satisfied.

    But if a customer gets an additional feature which they had never expected, then this raises their satisfaction level. Attractive attributes are those features that sometimes generate a ‘WOW’ expression from the customers.

    Kano Models Attractive attributes also give a competitive edge or advantage to a specific product above other products and put your product on a pedestal.

    For example: When the iPhone came with the technology of Virtual Assistant called “SIRI” that was a wow feature for all the customers, and it instantly created a hype in the market about their product.

    This unique feature gave them a competitive advantage in the market by leaving behind all the competing products.

    But this feature of the Kano Model also leads to an increase in the level of functionality. Because to provide these kinds of features, significant investments are required. But in return, these features have the potential to generate higher profit margins.

    INDIFFERENT FEATURES

    The Kano Model describes these features as one whose presence doesn’t matter to the customers. To these features, we feel indifferent because customers don’t care about the existence of these features as they provide no satisfaction to them.

    An organization needs to analyze the features which customers didn’t care about and stop wasting their money and resources on that Features.

    The Nature features of the Kano Model

    In this section, I will tell you about the nature of the attributes we studied. Now that we have learned about the Features of the Kano Model.

    We all should keep in mind the fundamental fact that nothing in this world is static. Everything changes after a given point in time. In simple words, we can say that it is a Continuous moving cycle of the world.

    Keeping that in mind The Features of the Kano Model are also not static. The customers don’t feel the same about every feature in the future as they think now. It is not like a Feature that might excite them now would stir them in the future also.

    The Features that are now Attractive may change to performance and eventually to Must-be. 

    Considering the example of Activa ( a Two-wheeler)- When Activas was launched, the only feature they had was they were cost-efficient, and they made transportation easy. But nowadays Activas are started having speakers in them, Inbuilt chargers efficient storage facility, A broader seat, etc.

    So If you understood the above given an example you would conclude that the features then are now considered as a Must-be Feature.

    It happens because of various factors like the Industrial Revolution, Technological up-gradation, Capitalization, Changing Trends, Change in

    Preferences, and habits of the customer. But one of the critical factors is the emergence of competitors and their experiments to achieve the highest functionality of the product.

    So the takeaway here is that any Analysis we do at a given time is valid for that situation only. Nothing is constant. Because as humans, we always want change then even the minutest change would provide us satisfaction.

    Determining the need for product features through customers by Questionnaire

    As an organization, we should also take considerations, recommendations, and suggestions from our clients or customers. About the features, they liked or didn’t liked and was that feature capable enough to provide them satisfaction.

    Why we should do all these self-analysis processes is because sometimes people don’t think about a product or service in the same way as they feel. it is essential to prepare a standardized questionnaire to have a record of customer preferences and suggestions.

    This Questionnaire method also helps us to determine customers’ perception of our product features.

    There are two questions we need to ask to evaluate customer preferences or perceptions:

    1. One is how they feel if they have the feature 
    2. Second is how they feel if they don’t have the feature

    The first question here is an aFunctional question that has a positive outlook. While the other question is a Dysfunctional questionable which has a negative outlook.

    The most possible answers for the above two questions are :

    • Guess, I like it      
    • or, I expect it
    • Also, I am neutral
    • I can tolerate it
    • I dislike it

    Based on the answers given by the customers for the above question for each category we evaluate their decision. This step is also called EVALUATION.

    FunctionalDysfunctionalCategory
    I expect it+I dislike it→Must-be
    I like it+I dislike it→One-dimensional
    I like it+I am neutral→Attractive
    I am neutral+I am neutral→Indifferent
    I dislike it+I expect it→Reverse

    Conclusion

    The Kano model is a theoretical concept or a tool used for determining Product Development and customer satisfaction. Noriaki Kano developed it, a Writer and an educator in the field of Quality management in 1891. The Kano model was also called the Customer Satisfaction Model.

    Those are the foundation of all successful and positive workplace environments.

    These principles are based on millions of employee surveys, thousands of Glassdoor reviews, hundreds of business journal articles, and dozens of academic papers.

    The first key to developing a positive culture is creating an environment, where Employees are

    1. Feeling Valued:

    The biggest complaint from employees is that they don’t feel valued by their supervisor or the company as compared to previous generations.

    Millennials are more driven by how work makes them feel and if they don’t feel valued. Then they are much more likely to leave their jobs investing in process and product have long been norms.

    Often goals and missions are communicated well at the senior levels of an organization. But less well or not at all further down.

    Organization as company sizes have grown specialization has increased. And the focus has shifted to speed many companies haven’t communicated.

    The importance of each employees contribution to the organization as a whole to help employees feel like,

    They’re contributing communicate goals and mission to everyone in the organization. Choose three or four goals that are simple to understand broad in scope.

    And focused on more than just financials then communicate them to everyone in the organization. Make the goals consistently visible and frequently.

    Mentioned in newsletter team calls or emails from senior leadership. Next, ask each employee to think about how his or her job supports at least one of the goals.

    4. Feeling Growth:

    Growth is a basic psychological need.

    We want to be challenged to learn and to problem-solve but growth cannot happen in an environment.

    That doesn’t tolerate mistakes and with the intense pressure often placed on short-term results taking the time.

    To focus on learning innovation or even collaboration often takes a backseat additionally. The traditional method for employees.

    Growth training is flawed how many times have you been to training and committed to implementing it.

    Some of the suggestions into your daily routine only to find yourself right back in your same old habits just days.

    After training regardless of how good the training is if we don’t have a simple way to reinforce the learnings and actually, practice the new behaviour in our daily life.

    We forget to have a daily weekly or monthly challenge that involves adding one new action into your team’s routine.

    Focusing on one thing at a time feels doable and empowering will prevent employees from feeling overwhelmed.

    You can turn the challenge into a game by a keeping score of how many days each person put that action into practice.

    This is a great use of friendly competition and makes professional growth fun.

    Ways to Create a Healthy Work Environment

    Here are 4 small changes around the workspace that will have a huge impact in the long run.

    1. Offer a Daily or Weekly Snack:

    The afternoon dip often causes employees to resort to unhealthy snacking.

    Now while the occasional sugary or salty snack doesn’t hurt anyone.

    Overindulgence does have a negative impact on the overall health of your employees.

    Offering fresh fruits can help employees make small dietary changes that will improve their overall health.

    And well-being which will ultimately boost their concentration at work.

    2. Encourage Physical Activity:

    You probably don’t have time to plan activities for your team. But that doesn’t mean you can’t encourage them.

    Make sure your employees know that you value physical activity by encouraging them.

    To take a mid-day break to attend a yoga class head to the gym or go for a walk.

    Provide a safe space where employees can discuss and organize activities on a regular basis.

    Not only are these activities good for their health but they’re also great for team-building studies.

    Show that time away from your desk fresh air and activity is proven to boost concentration, improve motivation and contribute to positive mental health.

    3. Provide a Comfortable Working Space:

    Creating a Healthy Work Environment to Boost Employees Productivity

    Many companies make the mistake of underestimating the effects that the workspace environment has on employee satisfaction.

    So recent lighting and poor ventilation can cause headaches among other health issues to provide your staff.

    With the best working conditions possible ensure the working environment has the right air circulation and lighting system an inexpensive and easy improvement to make is incorporating pods into the workspace.

    They not only add a splash of colour to life but they improve the air quality too.

    4. Build Connections:

    The best way to stimulate a healthy work environment is by building a foundation of trust encouragement and honesty.

    Employees spend a considerable amount of time at work which means that inevitably from time to time.

    Situations in their personal life may interfere with their work showing compassion and support.

    Your employees can help them deal with their emotions in a healthier way. The more an employee feels emotional support at work.

    Ultimately the better they will perform in their job. Now, we’re not saying that you should be the workplace counsellor.

    But should consider providing access to services that can support your employees during times of emotional stress.

    Do you want to do meditation for stress and anxiety relief? Then, first of all, let us understand what meditation is? 

    We have to look at our own lives. First, there’s something that we’re doing every single day – for the majority of the day, we’re thinking. 

    We’re always thinking; we can say that humans are addicted to thinking. 

    Try to stop thinking right now for just 10 seconds. Chances are unless you’ve been practising meditation for a while. You had at least a couple of thoughts pop into your mind during this brief period. You might say, well, thinking isn’t a bad thing. It’s good. 

    We need to think to survive, don’t we well, that’s true. But only to some extent if you sit down and take a look at it. The large majority of your thinking isn’t as helpful as you think it is; a lot of it is pretty negative.

    Meditation techniques help to focus better and manage their emotions. 

    When you think less, you become more in control of your emotions. If you practice meditation for stress relief, you’re basically teaching your mind how to turn off your dots like a switch.

You’ll see flowers on the ground; you’ll become less involved with your thoughts and more engaged with the natural world, and that is the beauty of meditation. 

    WHAT’S IN IT?

    Benefits of Meditation For Stress And Anxiety 

    We all know that what is meditation, but only a few peoples can do it. It is because people do not become aware of the benefits of meditation.

    So that you could think about those things which you want to do in your life. 

    Types of Meditation For Stress And Anxiety  

    There are many different types of meditation for stress relief you can practice. Research has suggested partition ORS have reduced stress, anxiety, depression and even less physical pain. 

    So, we’ll go over five different types of meditation for stress relief you can fit into your daily routine. 

    Guided meditation for stress: 

    Guided meditations are generally where there is a sure guide. So, there will be an expert who will tell you precisely what you need to do. 

    And this usually or generally involves some form of imagery or some form of visualisation or sensory stimulation. So, guided meditations for stress reduction are good. 

    When you’re trying to achieve a particular thing in life or trying to get over a mental block, this could help you overcome.

    You know your firm beliefs, and it could be that you become aware that you have a specific idea and want to change it. 

    So, you could do a specific type of guided meditation for stress reduction. And that particular thing so it could be for losing weight. 

    So, you could imagine yourself and visualise losing weight, and you could listen to a tape for 40 minutes every day. 

    It will also help you change that belief about yourself that makes you not want to lose weight. 

    And then, if you keep listening to it for 21 days or a month, you would be able to lose weight with its help. 

    So, guided meditations are good when you want to change a firm belief. That your kind of it has just come to you but just remember you have to do it every day. 

    You have to make sure you’re not doing anything else while you’re listening to it. You’re completely in a relaxed state of mind. 

    And you’re listening to the same tape every single day, and that might help you. 

    Chakra meditation:

    Chakra meditation is a type of yoga meditation. It generally wheels or chakra means wheel. According to the theories, there are seven different energy centres located in; you might represent colour and a particular aspect of our personality. 

    image of a man performing chakra meditation for stress

    So, for example, your sacral chakra located just above the pelvis will represent your emotions. 

    So, if you’re feeling emotionally imbalanced, you could do a sacral chakra meditation for stress.  

    When you’re feeling a bit sluggish, you’re feeling angry about something, and you’re finding it hard to let go of a particular emotion. And you’re aware of it, but it bothers you; it can also help physical ailments that mean different chakras the present, or you know, manifest. 

    And their negative energy into your body in the form of different illnesses or ailments.  

    You could use this chakra meditation to balance those different chakras that represent those illnesses. 

    You might find that you’re kind of recovering from it, and it could probably work. 

    I have tried it, but you could try different chakra meditations for that kind of things. But you can probably do it once a week. 

    You can do it daily, and it doesn’t matter when you choose to do it but generally, early in the morning or just before bed is the best time to meditate. 

    Also you can watch our video on Chakra:

    Yoga meditation for stress-relief: 

    Yoga meditation is generally when you perform a series of different postures—at the same time, controlling your breathing and observing your breathing in a certain way. 

    This meditation for stress reduction is beneficial again for physical; mental well-being can also be perfect for pregnancy-related issues. 

    It can be perfect for digestion; it can be there are different poses for different things. So, you can also be ideal for flexibility. 

    If you’re trying to work on that, yoga meditation should generally be done supervised by somebody. 

    image of women performing yoga meditation for stress

    So, if you’re reading articles, watching youtube videos, and trying it on your own, you might have an instructor. 

    Who’s there to teach you how to do this and it can be beneficial if you’re into sports because it helps your flexibility. 

    It helps to keep you fit, healthy and your muscles kind of you know it relaxes your muscles a lot more while you train them, so it’s kind of exciting one. 

    Transcender meditation: 

    Transcender meditation is generally repeating a word or a sound or a small phrase. 

    This could be the phrase ‘om’ you know; many people think it has a different energy, so they just kind of charmed it over. 

    And over again until your mind transcends into a different kind of area of consciousness that you exceed basically. 

    So, it’s a different type of consciousness that you’re travelling from one form of your mind to another state of mind. 

    So, transcending meditation, I haven’t tried, so I don’t know a lot about it, but you could try it. 

    And see if it helps you, it’s generally good if you are a pretty distracted person. It can help you concentrate by chanting the same word. 

    It can help you to control your attention a lot more. Also, It can also help you to relax sometimes because if you keep saying up a specific word over. 

    And over again, then you associate a particular form of emotion with it. Whenever you feel agitated, you can try and use that word to transcend into that kind of feeling. 

    So you can switch from one emotion to the other by practising the chanting of that word. A small phrase that you want to use also works well in self-talk. 

    So, self-talk is something, or centring is a technique where you use certain words. 

    And tell yourself those words or sentences to feel the way you want to feel. To transcend all meditation for stress can be used for that. 

    Mindfulness meditation for stress and anxiety:

    Mindfulness meditation is observing your thoughts and emotions in a non-judgmental and even though. 

    This form of meditation is one of the toughest meditations because you’re trying to live in the present moment. 

    image with mindfulness written on a paper

    All the time, you don’t transcend a thing you’re not escaping; you know you’re not moving. You’re sitting still; you’re observing your breath. 

    You’re observing your thoughts and emotions as they pass, and you do not have any judgment towards them. 

    The reason why I like mindfulness for meditation is stress relief. And I think it is the most effective technique is because it works from the bottom-up processing. 

    Top-down processing and bottom-up processing are how you respond to the knowledge you already have in your mind. 

    And bottom-up is how you take in the knowledge form through your senses, and mindfulness meditation works on that bottom-up process, which is when you’re taking in information. How do you see it, and if you change your perception of what you’re seeing, what you’re hearing. 

    Then you just don’t form new concepts or thoughts; you don’t create new labels. Everything is just the same for you; every sense is the same. 

    So, you are free from attaching your emotions to it and over time, it starts working well for you. 

    Conclusion

    1. Guided meditation

  • Coping With Change: 3 Ways to Deal With Change

    Coping With Change: 3 Ways to Deal With Change

    When I was younger, I hated the idea of coping with change at work, I hated the idea of being not able to control my life.

    One thing my father used to always say to me is that the only thing consistent in life is Dealing with change.

    And I hated this to no end because when he used to say this I instantly felt powerless, hopeless, unable to control anything. 

    The problem is as I’ve gotten older that has not changed. I still feel the pretty uncomfortable change and I think many of us deal with that situation. 

    Where we feel uncomfortable we hate it. Because in a lot of ways where coping with change comes fear it comes to filling of fear. 

    It comes to the feeling of being powerless it comes to the feeling of not having control. 

    WHAT’S IN IT

    How We Can Deal Coping With Change

    How We Can Deal Coping With Change

    I want to give you three tips that may help you deal with change. 

    So, let’s go 

    Be Flexible And Embrace Change:

    A lot of times, when we first encounter changes a lot of times. When we first have to deal with change our media reaction is to put up a defence is to protect ourselves. 

    And keep us as further as far away from change as possible. But for us to be happy in life for us to be able to fully accept life in all of its changes. 

    You must learn to embrace coping with change and learn to be flexible with change 

    Face Your Fears: 

    Dealing with change

    Now we all have fears when it comes to change for me. When I was a kid moving to a new school always brought that fear. 

    The fear of having to meet new people of having to deal with change, new teachers. And maybe having a difficult time readjusting to a new area. 

    When I was a child as an adult I have different fears when it comes to coping with change. But we all have fears in general when it comes to change. 

    Certain things about the change itself make us afraid. 

    But if we can learn to embrace those fears and face them. we can become successful.

    We can learn to be happy even despite the fears themselves. So, one thing I want to say is a great way to face fears is by writing them down. 

    These fears by it by putting one paper by being by taking ourselves out of the situation.  

    And playing on paper and looking at it objectively. We can stop dwelling on it and being stuck on the fears and learn to let them. 

    Focus on The Things That You Can Control: 

    Life will throw you a lot of different curveballs it will go in a lot of different directions.  

    We may not want life to go it may go right. when we want it to go left it may take a u-turn. 

    When we want life to go straight change is inevitable it’s unstoppable. So although we may not control the world around us. 

    Whether other people or situations as a whole. What we can control but one thing we can control is our attitude. 

    And our actions if you find yourself in a situation. where you’re afraid and you know that coping with change is inevitable learn to control yourself like, 

    I said earlier some of the most successful people in life can be flexible or able to face their fears. 

    And control not the world around them themselves. They’re able to redirect their energies, their talents, their abilities in ways that allow them to not necessarily. 

    Stages of Reacting to Coping With Change 

    Addictive behaviour seems pretty daunting for most people. The easiest course of action is to do nothing about the problem. 

    But doing nothing isn’t an option anymore you know. You have to make coping with change. If your issue is alcohol. 

    It can mean overhauling the whole professional recreational and social life centred around drinking. 

    So yeah coping with change is hard but it’s not impossible people do it every day. So, let’s go

    Pre Contemplation: 

    You don’t think you have a problem you don’t plan to quit any time soon but external pressures are mounting on you. 

    Your spouse’s baby said something about it maybe your boss is written you up for being late. 

    And Your parents are threatening to cut you up or you get your first DUI. Most people at this stage are living in a form of denial. 

    The problem isn’t their fault they’ll say it’s my genes both my parents drank or the breathalyzer was broken. 

    A cop just headed out for me for my all-time favourite. I have this under control but as time goes on. 

    And the negative consequences of addiction mount those excuses start to seem pretty lame. 

    Contemplation:

    You’re not in denial anymore you know what change is necessary maybe you’ve done some soul-searching. 

    And had some talks with your spouse or friends or your boss or maybe even your kids maybe. 

    You’ve done a cost-benefit analysis of how you got to this point. You’re getting ready to commit to coping with change. 

    But you’re not sure how well for change to happen you need a plan which leads us to stage three. 

    Preparation:

    No more denial, no more excuses. 

    You’ve decided that you want to quit drinking, gambling, or overeating or maybe all of the above. You’re ready to take your life back. 

    And with this decision, you may feel a sense of liberation. 

    Now, you can envision a brighter future without that damn monkey on your ballot. 

    You’re putting the past behind you and you’re evaluating possible solutions may be.  

    It’s inpatient or outpatient rehab and now for the most important part Stage four. 

    Take Action: 

    Coping With Change

    You quit maybe you check yourself into rehab. You start going to neutral support meetings. 

    And you get a psychiatrist or psychologist involved to help you dig deeper into the reasons. 

    You became addicted, to begin with, it sounds great but holds on you’re not done yet. 

    Quitting is just the start for your recovery to stick stage 4 also requires that you build a new life. With a new purpose centred around healthy activities. 

    Supported by friends who are on the same page as you are I’m not gonna sugarcoat it this part is hard. 

    It’s scary but it could also be the most rewarding experience of your life because of breaking free from addiction. 

    Finally allows you to evaluate your goals your priorities, your needs, your fears in essence looking at your true self through. 

    A clear and unfiltered lens you know it’s said that knowledge is power, well knowledge about yourself is power. 

    With a purpose but don’t rush this part either it doesn’t happen overnight it takes time to recover. 

    The life you lost and rediscover the fun stuff you did before your addiction habit. 

    It gives you a chance to uncover new strengths about yourself, new passions. 

    Don’t regret the time that you lost to addiction focus on it all the time. You have now to dedicate yourself to personal growth. 

    And to build long-term happiness now that you’re back in control of your life you have to keep it that way.  

    Maintenance: 

    The day-to-day work of continuing to build your confidence. Dealing with urges overcoming negative thoughts. 

    And emotions that test your will and building a personal family social and vocational life centred around sobriety. 

    You might find that you still need to go to meetings once a week or maybe once in a while or maybe like me. 

    You’ve decided to start your recovery meeting. Whatever strategies you adopt the goal is to always move forward. 

    And never backwards because there is a finish line in your recovery that is when you’ve rebuilt your life. 

    And now your risk of becoming an addict is no greater than anyone else. 

    So then what well that depends on you. Maybe, you’re the kind of person who can forget your addiction ever happened or maybe, 

    You know yourself well enough to suspect that you could relapse maybe you need periodicity.

    Maintenance in the form of meetings, counselling or volunteering to help others in recovery or something as simple as mindfulness. 

    And perhaps meditation and this brings us to an important thing you should know and remember about the stages of coping with the change model. 

    It’s not perfectly linear you may skip a stage or go back a stage from time to time. 

    According to dr. Carla de Clement to the scientists who developed this model. 

    Most people will try to quit their addictive behaviours and fails several times before they get it right. 

    But that’s okay that’s to be expected relapses happen. The key is to learn from your slip-ups instead of letting them defeat you. 

    You entirely it’s like riding a bike you fall off the bike so what get back on the bike. 

    Conclusion:

    I hope you understand what I say through this article about coping with change. So, now let us revise all thing. 

    First, if any change comes in your life. Then accept the change and try to deal the coping with the change. 

    I can give you 3 tips for dealing with change which is to Be Flexible. And Embrace Change, Face Your Fears and Focus on The Things That You Can Control.

  • Top 8 Ways To Beat The Fear of Failure

    Top 8 Ways To Beat The Fear of Failure

    Every person I do know is scared of failure. It’s in the attribute. Once we get out of our temperature, we feel scared. As a citizenry, our ego and identity become so bound up in what we do, that when things don’t go as we would like, we will literally feel frustrated and have the thought we are getting to die.

    Simple ways that will show you whether you are able to learn to use failure for your advantage instead of dreading it. Here are 8 proven strategies to maneuver through your fear of failure.

    WHAT’S IN IT

    Reshift Your Goals

    First, reshift failure by shifting your goals. Extend your goal by including learning something new and you’ll never technically “fail” because there’s always something you’re getting to learn.

    For example, rather than having a hard and fast goal like “Earn a minimum of ₹10,00,000 from this new business in one year,” extend your goal by including “You will learn something new about the way to successfully run a business”.

    You’ll still target ₹10,00,000 in revenue, while at an equivalent time attaching yourself to the goal of learning something useful about launching a replacement business. This way, you can’t “fail” because no matter the result, you’re sure to learn something valuable.

    goal setting

    Imagining Obstacles

    According to an experiment, there have been two groups of school students who were asked to write down about what lay the future for the approaching week.

    One group was instructed to imagine that the week would be great. and therefore the other group was just asked to write down down any thoughts about the week that came to mind without instruction.

    Group one students who were asked to imagine the week would be great reported feeling less energized and went on to accomplish less during the week than the control group.

    As a result, positive thinking wasn’t alone enough. because the research has shown that the simplest outcomes are created once we balance positive thinking with visualizing the longer-term obstacles and struggles we’ll encounter.

    Imagine a situation during which you’re scared of failure. Visualize yourself now hitting an obstacle, allow yourself to feel the fear, then see yourself moving forward.

    Next time, just spend a couple of minutes planning the way to overcome whatever obstacles may substitute your way. Then see yourself succeeding regardless of the obstacles are.

    overcome obstacles

    Reveal Your Story

    When you take failure very personally, you are always – always – associating the failure with a bigger story about yourselves. You are taking the failure to mean “I am not better enough”, “I will never be successful as a human being”, “My associates are awful”, etc.

    When you feel very upset about a particular failure, ask yourself “What are the thoughts I have about this situation?”  See if you can reveal the big, heavily overvalue story you are telling yourself about this particular failure.

    Try to separate the story from the facts.  Facts:  New Business launch generated ₹5,00,000 of revenue as compared to the goal of ₹10,00,000.  Story:  Everyone was right, I’ll never make it on my own. I’m a swore loser.

    Once you reveal the story, notice that it is just that. A story. And see if you can re-create it by thinking a more positive response such as  “I’m going to take risks, And learn from my mistakes and carry on.”

    Questions 3 Things

    The best response to perceived failure is to ask oneself these three powerful questions:

    1)   What I have learned from this situation?

    2)   How can I grow as a person from this experience?

    3)   What are three positive things about this situation?

    When you first attempt to list three positive things about the “failure”, your mind may be very resistant. But if you stick with this exercise, before you know, you have a new opportunity that can come out of this “failure.”

    For example, you might think; “Well, losing a bigger project can give me time to focus on my smaller project and get more clients. And I will also have more time to chase after that other potential new business outlet.

    And I learned that my project demo needs to be improved, so I can make changes before targeting these new clients.”

    Feel The Fear and Giving it Up

    Most of us allow our fear to freeze us because we don’t like feeling fear. But if you simply notice yourself feeling the fear when it shows up, you will learn that it quickly vanishes and suddenly the situation feels more reasonable.

    The next time you notice yourself getting stroked out or feeling afraid of something that is not working out, get alone, sit quietly by yourself, set your timer for two minutes, and start taking deep breaths. Notice where you feel rigidness or hypertension in your body, and simply breathe into that area for two minutes. 

    When the timer sets off after two minutes, chances are the thoughts have shifted. The more you do this, the more you will control your body’s natural calm response and you will move through fear with greater ease.

    Not to Be Afraid of Failure

    It’s important to realize that in everything we do, there’s always a chance that we’ll fail. Facing fears will have a chance, and embracing it, is not only courageous – it also gives us a fuller, more rewarding life.

    However, here are a few ways to reduce fear:

    Analyze all possible outcomes

    Many people experience fear of failure because they fear the unknown. Remove that fear by considering all of the possible outcomes of your decision.

    Learn to think more positively

    Positive thinking is an incredibly powerful way to build self-confidence and neutralize self-sabotage.

    Look at the worst-case scenario

    In some cases, the worst-case scenario may be genuinely disastrous, and it may be perfectly rational to fear failure. In other cases, however, this worst-case may not be that bad, and recognizing this can help.

    Have a contingency plan

    If you’re afraid of failing at something, having a “Plan B” in place can help you feel more confident about moving forward.

    Set approach goals

    Goals can be classified as approach goals or avoidance goals based on whether you are motivated by wanting to achieve a positive outcome or avoid an adverse one. Psychologists have found that creating approach goals, or positively reframing avoidance goals, is beneficial for well-being.

    When you’re dreading a tough task and expect it to be difficult and unpleasant, you may unconsciously set goals around what you don’t want to happen rather than what you do want.

    Though nervous about the process, Rohan’s desire to become an Athlete was an approach goal because it focused on what he wanted to achieve in his career rather than what he hoped to avoid.

    Although he didn’t land the first Athlete job he tried to get, he did not let that fact deter him from keeping that as his objective and getting back out there.

    If Rohan had instead become discouraged about the outcome of his first C-level interview and decided to actively avoid the pain of rejection by never vying for the top spot again, he would have shifted from approach to avoidance mode

    While developing an avoidance goal is a common response to a perceived failure, it’s important to keep in mind the costs of doing so. Research has shown that employees who take on an avoidance focus become twice as mentally fatigued as their approach-focused colleagues.

    When failure is possible, view it as a challenge

    Completing important tasks—tasks that you could fail at—is stressful. But how you choose to approach this stress is up to you.

    If you think of stress as a threat, as many of us do, your body will prepare for battle—and you’ll feel like you’re in a battle. On the other hand, if you choose to view this stress as a challenge, then you’re more likely to think you are capable of handling it. As a bonus, thanks to the calming effect it has on your body, you actually will be more capable and less likely to fail. 

    To build a challenge mindset, reflect on past challenges that you’ve overcome. Let’s say you’re worried about a meeting with your boss. Take a moment to think back to past meetings.

    Did you handle them successfully? What exactly did you do? When you remind yourself that you have succeeded before, the task in front of you doesn’t seem so insurmountable.

    Next, visualize success. By imagining yourself doing well, you feel more positive, which can enhance your performance. On the other hand, if you ruminate about what could go wrong, your fear builds, and the failure you fear becomes more likely.

    Keep in mind that even if you can shift your brain to stop seeing something as a threat, you may feel similar physical sensations, like nerves and shakiness. If you notice these, try to see them as excitement, energy, and “good” stress—evidence that what you’re doing is important to you.

    Conclusion

    Everybody has a fear of failure when they think to do a work that is out of their knowledge. It is obvious to get scared while leaving your comfort zone. But, it is the first and crucial step for the progress that you deserve.

    Even if you fail at the first attempt, deal with that failure by shifting your goals and going ahead in the right direction by learning from your past mistakes. Instead of giving up at an early stage, ask yourself a few questions and have a contingency plan.

  • The ABC Technique Overcoming Pessimistic Thinking

    The ABC Technique Overcoming Pessimistic Thinking

    Shreya has worked hard on a report all week. The deadline was tight, and, as she hands it over to her boss for an initial read-through, she swells proudly. She knows her boss goes to commend the standard of her work.

    However, as her boss reads it, she develops a little frown. a flash later, she hands the report back to Shreya.

    As she says “I think you probably did an honest job”. “If you’ll just rework section two and add the figures I sent over last night, this may be able to present to the board.”

    Shreya heads back to her office, she was crushed. As she worked so hard, and her boss thinks the report is lousy. Soon she adds the new figures with a sinking heart, wondering how long it’ll be before she’s demoted or fired. For the remaining day, she can’t get the image of her boss’s frown out of her mind. Her mood was off, she’s listless, and her work suffers. She even misses a purchase with a key client, because she’s not on her game.

    Shreya is blowing things answer of proportion. thereupon pessimistic outlook, she has assumed the worst and has turned a little setback into a disaster.

    What about you? Are you an optimist or a pessimist? Or would you’ve got reacted within the same way as Shreya?

    Optimists are proven to be healthier, more productive, happier, and more successful than pessimists. there’s excellent news that optimism may be a skill –which you’ll find out how to be more optimistic. during this blog, we’ll show you ways to use the ABC Technique to develop an optimistic outlook.

    WHAT’S IN IT

    Introduction to the Technique

    This approach was created by psychologist, DR. Albert Ellis. it had been then adopted by DR. Martin Seligman, a University of Pennsylvania professor and past president of the American Psychological Association. Seligman’s adapted version was published in his 1990 book, “Learned Optimism.”

    ABC stands for:

    • Adversity.
    • Beliefs.
    • Consequences.
    Overcoming Pessimistic Thinking

    In short, we encounter an Adversity event (or, an Activating Event, as per Ellis’s original model). How we expect this creates Beliefs( or thought processes). These beliefs then influence what we do next so that they become Consequences( or reactions).

    Here’s an example – you yell at your junior because he forgot to print a crucial report before your meeting (Adversity). You then think, “I’m a lousy Senior” (Belief). You then perform poorly during your meeting, because your self-confidence has plummeted (Consequences).

    The important point occurs between adversity and belief. once you encounter adversity, how you tend to elucidate it to yourself directly impacts your thought process and your relationships. Seligman calls this your “explanatory style,” and he says that it’s a habit that influences your entire outlook on life.

    There are three dimensions to your explanatory style:

    1. Permanence

    Pessimistic people unconsciously assume that the causes of bad events are permanent, while optimists believe that bad events are temporary.

    For instance, imagine you had a nasty day and had no time to assist a lover who needed your expertise. A pessimist might think, “I should never be friends with anyone at work because I’m a terrible friend.” An optimist might think, “I was a terrible friend today.”

    The difference is subtle, but it matters for your outlook!

    2. Pervasiveness

    Pessimists make a universal statement about their lives when something goes wrong, while optimists make their statements.

    For instance, a pessimist might think, “All my work is useless.” On the opposite hand, an optimist might think, “This work was useless.”

    Again, the difference is that the thought process. Pessimists take one negative event and permit it to show their entire work, or life, into a catastrophe. Optimists recognize that they could have failed in one area, but they do not allow that failure to overwhelm other parts of their lives.

    3. Personalization

    When we experience a negative event, we’ve two ways to believe it. we will blame something outside ourselves (externalizing it). Or, we will blame ourselves for the event (internalizing it).

    Pessimists often internalize blame. They think, “This is all my fault,” or “I’m too dumb to try to do this job.” Optimists have higher self-esteem because they tend to externalize blame, thinking, “This is all somebody else fault,” or “I haven’t learned enough about this skill yet; that’s why I’m not doing well at this task.”

    Example

    Adversity: A colleague criticized my idea ahead of the boss during our weekly meeting.

    Belief: He’s right; it had been a dumb idea. I do not have much of an imagination, and now the boss thinks that how unprofessional I’m. I should never have spoken up!

    Consequences: I felt stupid and didn’t speak up for the reminder of the meeting. I do not want to ascertain any of my colleagues or the boss in the week and have already made an excuse to avoid tomorrow’s all the meetings.

    Analyse Results

    Once you’ve written down several ABC situations, take a glance at what you’ve got found.

    Here, you would like to seem for patterns in your thinking, specifically, how any broad beliefs have led to specific consequences.

    To be optimistic, you would like to vary your thought process for various situations. This, in turn, results in more positive consequences.

    Use Distraction and Disputation

    As you’ll see, the beliefs you develop after encountering adversity play a serious role in your life and determine whether you are a pessimistic or an optimistic thinker. This makes it important to manage negative ABC patterns.

    There are two ways to override these: distraction and disputation.

    Disputation

    Think of Disputation as a “D” after ABC.

    To dispute your negative mistaken thoughts and beliefs, you argue with yourself rationally. Especially, your search for the assumptions about your explanatory style that we talked about earlier.

    We’ll use the previous example, for instance, this system, below.

    Adversity: A colleague criticized my idea ahead of the team during our weekly meeting.

    Belief: He’s right; it had been a dumb idea. I do not have much of an imagination, and now the whole team can see how uncreative I’m. I should never have spoken up!

    Consequences: I felt stupid and didn’t speak up for the reminder of the meeting. I do not want to attend any of the opposite team meetings today and have already made an excuse to avoid tomorrow’s meetings.

    Disputation: I’m blowing this out of proportion. My colleague had every right to criticize my idea; it had been nothing personal, and her critique was spot on. He even commended my creativity once the meeting was over. All I want to try to do is think my ideas through a touch better next time.

    Distraction

    Overcoming Pessimistic Thinking

    Although disputation is beneficial for interrupting negative thinking, a more temporary solution is to distract them.

    If you would like to interrupt your negative thoughts, you would like to distract yourself. Simply telling yourself “not to think negatively” isn’t getting to work: you would like to interrupt the cycle.

    To do this, try distracting yourself once you start creating negative beliefs.

    For example, you’ll pinch yourself or wear an elastic band around your wrist. After you’ve skilled a stressful situation, and once you begin to formulate negative thoughts and beliefs, as a result, snap the elastic band against your skin or simply pinch at the instant. This physical sting will remind you to exit the cycle of negative thinking.

    Once you’ve interrupted your negative thoughts, you would like to shift your attention elsewhere. Concentrate intently on something else for a moment.

    Important points

    The ABC Technique is an approach developed by Albert Ellis and adapted by Martin Seligman to assist us to think more optimistically.

    The technique is predicated on our explanatory style. That is, how we explain difficult or stressful situations to ourselves, across dimensions of permanence, pervasiveness, and personalization. These thoughts directly impact what we believe about the event, ourselves, and therefore the world at large.

    The Technique pushes you to research three aspects of a situation:

    1. Adversity.

    2. Beliefs.

    3. Consequences.

    Whenever you encounter adversity you develop thoughts and beliefs about things. This, in turn, results in consequences.

    To be optimistic, you want to change what you think about yourself, and therefore the situation once you encounter adversity. Positive beliefs will, in turn, cause more positive consequences, and a more positive outlook.

    Conclusion

    Start replacing the negativity in your surroundings and life, ways to use the ABC Technique to develop an optimistic outlook.

    Overcoming Pessimistic Thinking

    ABC stands for:

    • Adversity.
    • Beliefs.
    • Consequences,

     In which adversity is an activating event, beliefs are a thought process and consequences are a result.

    You would like to vary your thought process for various situations. This results in more positive consequences.
