Interesting Psychology Facts About Relationship That Will Blow Your Mind.

1. Fear of failure- failure is not final. 2. Perfectionism- 95% is not good as 100%. But its lot better than zero3. Fear of wrong choice-any decision is better than no decision. 4. Boring task- delegate, if can't delegate make it a fun activity, set a time to complete.  There are many causes of procrastination. Unfortunately, there's still a tendency to associate procrastination with laziness and mental weakness.

Why we procrastinate? 

1. Eat the frog- take up the difficult task first. 	2. Focus on first 10 min to gain momentum- like start making first slide you will continue with it. 	3. Start task when you know you'll have energy for them- morning person or active during night.

How to get started

1. Keep it short- concentrate on essential one, magical and possible number is 7 or lesser. Should not be over filled or under filled. 	2. Prioritize- scale the list and one being high priority and 5 being last priority. 	3. One thing at a time- rather than half finishing a lot of tasks complete one. 	4. Cut down unnecessary task from to-do list.

Stream your to-do list

Work expands to fill the time available for its completion.” If it takes you three hours to write a report, but you give yourself eight hours, it will take eight hours to write.

Set time limit for each task

Procrastination is a battle between your present self and your future self. Your present self is all about immediate gratification.

Focus on long term goal

1. work in a dedicated workspace.2. Invest in a white noise machine or a pair of quality headphones to block out noise.3. Put off internet or on the aeroplane mode or install internet blocker apps.

Eliminate distractions

1. If you make yourself accountable to someone else, you're far more likely to achieve your goals.Ask them to check in on your progress from time to time. 2. Don't set your own deadlines. We rarely respect self-imposed deadlines because we don't feel too bad about breaking promises we've made to ourselves. But we do respect promises we make to others.

Recruit others to help you fight procrastination.

Do you blame yourself when something goes wrong? Do you attribute perfectly understandable mistakes to your own laziness and ineptitude? Do you expect to fail at a task before you've even started it?

Recognise Negative self talk 

1. everyone makes mistakes2. nobody's perfect.3. surround yourself with positive people

Become your own cheerful leader

you love reading novels but hate going to the gym- only let yourself dip into a good book after you've done your workout.

The Procrastination Cure: 21 Proven Tactics for Conquering Your Inner Procrastinator, Mastering Your Time, and Boosting Your Productivity!

A desire to protect environment is at heart of environmental law. The Desire is spread across all people in the world.&nbsp;Environmental law is not just about valuing the environment but protecting the environment

Environmental Law 

Better way to think about environmental law is as law of environmental problems. Problems may be local like contaminated land or it may be Global like climate change.

Environmental Problems

Common feature of environmental problem is that they are both physically Complex and socially complex. They are physically Complex because they involve ecosystem if we put fertilizer on agricultural land and it runs off into rivers a whole range of implications might happen to natural environment and human health.Social complex becaz environmental problems are caused by range of different people. Not intending to harm the environment but each of their actions&nbsp;contributing to environmental problems.&nbsp;

Physically and Socially complex

Nations play important role in environmental law because they have authority and capacity to develop collective responses in relation to these problems.

Authorities

Modern environmental law has its roots in 1960 and it wasn't&nbsp;just response to environmental problems it was part of commitment to make societies more just, fair and more democratic

Just, fair and democratic society

Law is not a magic wand. It's not a case of passing a piece of legislation, signing a Treaty or court deciding a case and environmental problem disappears. What is required is creation of legal framework which ensures the ongoing management of an environmental problem in as fair and just way.

Legal teamwork 

Environmental law is very technically Complex. Environmental lawyers need to know a lot of law and they know how to apply it with nuance and sophistication.

Technically complex

Environmental law has required the expansion of the legal imagination that's because a lot of law that has been developed with environment.In countries like India and New Zealand legal developments have taken place where the legal rights of the rivers have been recognised.

Legal imagination 

Important theme in environmental law is environmental justice but environmental justice means many different things it might mean justice between Nations justice within local communities or justice across generations or even from of justice that takes the rights of the earth into account.

Environment Justice

Environmental law is often controversial we might debate whether there is environmental problem or how to solve it. There may be issues with what is a legitimate role of of Government and given the fact that environment law often requires limiting people's behaviour it will awake this resentment but while it is controversial while it is also necessary because we have to live within the carrying capacity of earth.

Environmental Law: A Very Short Introduction | Elizabeth Fisher

The Word Seduction has been sexualised so many times can't imagine it as a positive skill set. We typically associate seduction with something negative. We consider it as less honest, unprofessional and unacceptable form of skill. But Seduction is valuable life skill.People say Money is bad. Money itself is not bad but it depends on how one use it. Same goes with seduction.

Misconception about Seduction

1. Desire- knowing what u want and having willingness to go after it. Its Learning where the emotion buttons are and triggiering them. 2. Confidence- Have self confidence, no matter what your body type and shape is. Seduction leads to self confidence and self confidence leads to success. 3. Body language- tone of voice, looks, touch...its a way to clearly communicate what you want. Connect and interact.4. Arosal- sprouting out desire. Waking them to desire to give what you want. One have to give undivided attention to learn this art.5. Fearless of failure- don't worry about rejection. It may be no first, get convertes into may be and which later become yes, persistent trying is what it counts.

The power of seduction in our everyday lives | Chen Lizra | TEDxVancouver

<ul><li>Being open with one's insecurities paradoxically makes one more confident and charismatic around.</li><li>Hiding what is shameful is itself a form of shame.</li></ul>

Insecurities

Maturity is what happens when one learns to only give a fuck about what’s truly fuckworthy.

Maturity

Just because something feels good doesn’t mean it is good. Just because something feels bad doesn’t mean it is bad. Emotions are merely signposts, suggestions that our neurobiology gives us, not commandments. Therefore, we shouldn’t always trust our own emotions. In fact, I believe we should make a habit of questioning them.

Question the emotions

<ul><li>I wanted the reward and not the struggle. I wanted the result and not the process. I was in love with not the fight but only the victory. And life doesn’t work that way.</li></ul> <ul><li>Who you are is defined by what you’re willing to struggle for.</li></ul>

No Struggle, No Victory

<ul><li>The desire for more positive experience is itself a negative experience. And, paraparadoxically, the acceptance of one’s negative experience is itself a positive experience.</li><li>The more you desperately want to be sexy and desired, the uglier you come to see yourself, regardless of your actual physical appearance. </li><li>The avoidance of suffering is a form of suffering.</li><li>To try to avoid pain is to give too many fucks about pain.</li></ul>

Accept what you are

#1 New York Times Bestseller Over 1 million copies sold In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people. For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up. Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek. There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.

#1 New York Times BestsellerOver 10 million copies soldIn this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people.For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek.There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.
