3 Easy Steps to Overcome the Fear of Failure
The fear of failure is called “Atychiphobia” in psychological language, but, this fear is present in everyone. Our success in any area of our lives highly depends upon our willingness to overcome this obstacle.
We all are afraid of losing, even the most successful people in the world are troubled by this fear. However, they have learned the lesson that facing the fear is better than running away from it, this difference in the perspective is what sets them apart from others.
Millions of dreams have been shattered because people are not willing to take the risks. Any successful person will tell you how important it is to take the risks in life if you want to be successful.
We are not totally responsible for the fact that the thoughts of failure terrifies us, our society has trained our minds in a way that we look at “failure” as some kind of ruthless enemy, when in truth it is our best friend. Why? – Because they are the best teachers.
Whenever something doesn’t work out, you get aware of one path that is not to be taken next time. That’s how Edison found the right way to invent the electric bulb, you might have heard his famous quote “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”
Yeah I know such thoughts look good in philosophies. But, in reality, even though we might have forgotten, that is how we had all our proud accomplishments.
For example, do you think that any kid in the world would have learned to walk without falling down numerous times? Obviously NO, still no kid ever refuses to give another try just because they fear getting hurt. Yes, we are born winners. Continue reading

Generally the word “sacrifice” has a lot of negative beliefs attached to it, which makes us to see it as something that will cause suffering that is how we have been taught about it by the society.

The Universal Law of Compensation-Give Your Best Always
Without any doubt, the universal law of compensation has been very much misunderstood by people. They especially consider it as the subtext of the usual modern phrases like “karma is a b****”.
I want you to be open-minded while you read this post by putting aside the negativity that your mind may have associated with this law.
This law can be summarized by this famous proverb “You reap what you sow” but, hardly ever people look at it without any preconceived notion. You have to look at this phrase without any judgment to get the real essence of what it says “you reap what you sow”, that simply means that you get results in accordance to your actions.
When I say action, you would have thought that I am talking about what we do physically at any moment, that’s because we all forget that “thinking” is also an action. In fact, physical activity is just an outcome that’s governed by various other factors that we will discuss later in this post. Continue reading
The Universal Law of Increase-Focus on the Good
Be in a state of joy thinking of what is good in your life and you will have more of it by the universal law of increase.
If you are a spiritual person then you might already know the benefits of being grateful because when you are ungrateful and you constantly think of what is unpleasant in your life by the same law you will get more of it, there is no exception to it.
Have you seen people cry when they pray?
Of course, you would have because that is how most people do it. Some of them even believe that the more you shed tears the more is the chance of your prayer getting answered but do they really get what they want?
They see God as some person with superpowers in front of whom they have to beg and cry to get what they want.
But that is a false thinking. If you will cry, you will get more reasons to cry. If prayer is an act of faith then why should one be mournful?
Always remember – What you believe, feel and expect, that will happen, so, in your prayer be grateful and by the law you will attract more situations to say “thanks” to “all that is”. Continue reading
Induce Lucid Dreams without Keeping a Dream Journal-3 Alternatives
Writing my dreams after waking up was once a very difficult task for me and I know many of the lucid dreamers hate doing this because that early morning time is often a busy one that’s why I will provide you a few alternatives here that will enable you to have lucid dreams without a need to keep dream journal.
Before looking at the alternative methods allow me to explain it to you why we actually keep record of our dreams..
Purpose of the Dream Journal
Usually we only remember dreams that occurred a few minutes before waking up. Sometimes you may remember a little more but, till the time you take bath you probably would have forgotten them all unless you had an interesting dream.
There are people who say that they don’t get dreams at all but that’s not true, it is not that they are lying as they actually don’t know that they had dreams… why?.. it is because they forget their dreams even before they are fully awake.
This is why beginners in lucid dreaming are always advised to keep a dream journal beside them before sleeping since even if they had a lucid dream they won’t be able to remember it so that will mean that they never had one. Continue reading
10 Common Indicators of Your Progress-Spiritual Awakening Signs
When you get inclined towards spirituality you naturally get curious about your progress in that path and that’s why I am going discuss a few signs and symptoms of spiritual awakening using which you can know where you have reached in your journey.
For me, it used to be a very dominant thought in mind and still it bothers me sometimes that if I am actually going anywhere with all these spiritual knowledge and practices or am I still standing at the juncture from where I began?
Then I started to realize that the simplest way to know about spiritual progress is as Ramana Maharshi puts it “the degree of freedom from unwanted thoughts and the degree of concentration on a single thought are the measures to gauge spiritual progress”, obviously I am not able to free myself from the unwanted thoughts at present but I know that I am making headway from my ability to discern whenever I am thinking unnecessarily far better than before.

Photographic Memory or Eidetic Memory
In simple words, photographic memory could be described as an ability to recall things in form of images with all details.
Actually we all think in images, on a conscious level we might not be able to discern that always but with a little awareness you can know that whenever we are thinking or recalling we are doing it in form of images.
If I say “fire” you will immediately see an image of fire in your mind that’s how our thinking mechanism works.
So, when we all try to recall things from past, sometimes we get vivid pictures in mind and sometimes we see distorted images and that is what differentiates a person having a strong memory with the one who has weak memory. The reason behind this actually depends on many factors like a person’s attentiveness, their practice in recalling, confidence etc. which is all related to only one thing and that is their conscious mind’s rapport with their subconscious mind.

Simple Tips for Dealing with Multiple False Awakenings
For a very long time, I have been troubled by multiple false awakenings but, eventually I figured out a few ways to deal with them and I am going share it with you here.
I am well familiar with that dreadful feeling when you can’t find a way to escape from the chain of annoying dreams that tells you that you have woke up but then again you find that you are still dreaming.
Mostly when I experienced false awakenings it was when I slept during day time but, people experience it in the usual hours of night sleep as well.
About 4-5 years ago, when I was too interested in lucid dreaming, false awakenings and sleep paralysis became usual for me.
In dreams, I used to get up in the same room where I slept so it was often too difficult to detect that if I was still dreaming or not but, what troubled me the most was helplessness of not being able to wake up despite of knowing that it is a dream.
More than 5 false awakenings(I have had 14+) one after another could be very frustrating that you might start to hate your sleep hours but fortunately there are ways using which you can regain your peaceful sleeps. Continue reading
Train Your Photographic Memory-Retain More Information
This post will provide you a few tips that will help you to train your photographic memory so that you can remember things better than before.
First of all, let me answer a very common question – Is there really something like photographic memory?
Yes, there is and we can make use of it in various ways to improve ourselves in many areas of our lives.
Photographic memory is actually an ability to store and recall things in visual forms.
In fact, we actually store information in form of images only but, since the process is very fast we are not able to consciously realize it.
For example – If we hear numbers “09675” our mind stores that as an image, it could be the whole picture “09675” or every number individual “0”,”9” etc. etc. in sequence.
So, once we understand the importance of remembering in images we can then practice and develop photographic memory. Continue reading
Understanding Emotional Eating: The Hidden Mental & Physical Effects
Emotional eating is a habit where people eat not because they’re physically hungry, but to satisfy an emotional need. In simple terms, it’s when food becomes a way to feel better rather than a way to nourish the body. Whether it’s reaching for a tub of popcorn at the movies or craving your favorite snack after a long day, many of us use food to create comfort and happiness—even if we don’t realize it.
This connection between food and feelings isn’t new. For centuries, businesses have tapped into our emotional responses to food to sell products and build loyalty. There’s nothing inherently wrong with eating to feel good—unless it turns into a pattern that controls your behavior.
Unfortunately, many people today are unknowingly caught in this cycle. What starts as occasional comfort eating can quietly develop into binge eating patterns, often without any awareness. Over time, this can lead to both emotional eating mental health effects (like anxiety, guilt, and low self-esteem) and physical symptoms of emotional eating (such as weight gain, fatigue, and digestive issues).
In this post, we’ll dive deep into:
- The most common signs of emotional eating
- The mental and physical toll it can take
- And most importantly, how to stop emotional eating and create a healthier relationship with food
