1. Value and respect the fact that you are a totally unique individual, with your own destiny to fulfill. Believe in who you are, what you think and believe, your gifts and talents, and what you have to offer to those around you.
2. Refuse to give into negative feelings of anxiety, self doubt or insecurity. In fact, “fake it till you make it” is often good advice … So, ignore how you feel, and act the way you want to be. Choose to switch off the old tapes that keep playing in your head, try to visualize your goals, and then push on and seek to reach them.
3. Don’t pay any attention to what others think about you. The most important judgment should be yours, and yours alone. If you live in constant fear of what others think about you, it will only hold you back from realizing your potential. Also, you’re not a clone of others as each of us is different. Don’t be afraid to be unique or to stand out against the crowd.
4. Accept that you have good points, and areas for growth. We’re all a mix of different qualities, and flaws, and traits. We all make mistakes – it’s what you do with them matters. So embrace the fact you’re human and won’t always get it right.
5. Also, develop a tough skin and don’t take insults personally. Look back and laugh – don’t cower – or criticise yourself. It won’t help if you’re sensitive or worried all the time. It’s better to forgive yourself, and then move on again.
6. Develop your ability to think creatively. Try out those new ideas, and choose to live outside the box.
7. Seek to enjoy this moment, and to live life in the present. Be grateful for the small things, and savour all you have.

archeology: curiosity, study snacks, staying after class to ask questions, lots of coffee, studying to learn rather than for a grade.
architecture: sunlight filtering in through circular windows, bookshelves, large domed ceilings, the sound of pencils scratching on paper.
art: converses, paintbrushes tucked behind ears, laughing in class, studying with friends, doodles in the margins of textbooks, studying simply because you enjoy the subject.
dance: minimalist study spaces, exercising to improve cognitive function, healthy competition with peers, the feeling of joy when your hard work pays off.
history: late night studying, mindmaps, being friends with all of the teachers, the most gorgeous study space you’ll ever see, herbal tea, piles and piles of notes.
languages: learning by immersing yourself in your subject, pieces of paper flying everywhere, determination, muttering the thing you’re trying to memorise under your breath.
literature: libraries, elegant (although a little messy) cursive handwriting, stacks of books, studying in front of a fire, round glasses, scribbling notes faster than your hand can write.
music: creativity, studying at the strangest times, naps, smiling at people from across the classroom, random inspiration for projects, liking your subject because it makes you happy.
philosophy: studying in a cafe, preferring to learn concepts instead of memorising facts, warm jumpers, quiet but intelligent, loving your subject because it makes you think.
theatre studies: the most colourful notes you’ll ever see, getting friends to quiz you to help your memory, loud debates, disorganised but still doing really well in school, grinning when you get a good mark.
theology and religion: congratulating people when they do well on something they’ve worked hard for, calligraphy, bullet journaling, helping others with their work, lofi music, absent minded daydreams between classes.
The best lesson I’ve learned is you can’t let people scare you. You can’t go your whole life trying to please everyone else. You can’t go through life worried about what everyone else is going to think. Don’t let the judgment of others stop you from being you. Don’t lose yourself. #nalielistyle #nalieliseoul (at WWW.NALIELI.COM)
“Because they knew each other’s thoughts, they even quarrelled without speaking.”
— Bruce Chatwin
Confidence is a tricky thing. Some people naturally seem to exude confidence, while others struggle to have any. And some of that is just who you are, some are naturally shy, and others are naturally loud. However, there are times when you need confidence. For example, meeting new people, giving a presentation or starting a new job. Confidence can be really useful and helps you to feel calm and assured in a situation where you might normally be panicky and flustered.
I am the first to admit I am not a confident person. It was always me that had trouble putting my hand up in class, leaving the comfort of my mum to actually go to school and talking in a group of people. I was always aware from a young age that I was shy. My Mum would introduce me to someone, I wouldn’t talk, and my Mum would say ‘oh Ash is just shy’. Which made me believe I could never be confident, because shy was my default. But shy people can learn to be confident, so Psych2Go shares with you 5 habits to boost self-confidence.
Instead of staying in the fogginess that is lack of confidence, take stock. Forget thinking you need confidence, instead focus on what is it you want to achieve. Any time you feel a bit wobbly and sense yourself falling into ‘I’m hopeless, I can’t do it’ territory, stop and take a breath. Detach yourself from your emotions and analyse where you are, where you need to be, and what you need to learn. Keep assessing yourself. It’s important to keep everything in perspective. Before you do something that…
