Conflict is the normal process through which people resolve differences. When people live together under the same roof, there are bound to be disagreements and arguments as personalities clash and everyone wants to be heard. This is one of the most common youth problems with parents which may lead to ongoing parent and youth conflict. Our founder Jyotika bedi discusses this more.

Happiness has been a human pursuit for as long as we can remember, and positive psychology has taken this concept into the realm of scientific research in hopes of gaining a better understanding of global wellbeing and meaningful living.

Whether on a global or an individual level, the pursuit of happiness is one that is gaining traction and scientific recognition. Our founder Jyotika Bedi discusses more about this!

Studies suggest that mindfulness practices may help people manage stress, cope better with serious illness and reduce anxiety and depression. Many people who practice mindfulness report an increased ability to relax, a greater enthusiasm for life and improved self-esteem. Our founder Jyotika Bedi talks more about it.

We are not here here to empower you.

Because we know that you already have everything you need to be successful.

You have charm and wit and strength and power beyond what you think you’re capable of. You have the knowledge and resources to learn more, do more, and achieve more. You have skills and life experience that no other woman has, and that gives you your own unique perspective on the world.

You are empowered because you have those qualities; no one can take them away from you. Nor can someone give you permission, authority, or power to show up as your beautiful, authentic self.

No one can give you power, because you are already powerful beyond measure.

Even empowered women need a reminder of their own brilliance. Sometimes we don’t feel good enough, or smart enough, or capable enough to achieve the things we want in life.

Self-awareness is the strongest predictor of success.

While experience, confidence, ability to make tough decisions, and other so-called “hard skills” were important, the researchers concluded that self-awareness was the key differentiator for the most successful leaders.

People often associate work with stress and something they endure rather than enjoy. However, it is not the only narrative. So, how do you change this narrative? How can you make sure your workplace is a happy place? The concept of happiness is not one size fits all but rather subjective. Still, the question remains the same !

Happiness in the workplace comes with the power to make a choice. When you think of happiness and work, the most common answer is to have autonomy and feel a sense of enjoyment with the time spent there. Jyotika discusses this further with two young professionals.

Whether it’s a specific position at work, a finish line you’re dying to cross or a vague notion of a life well lived, you have an idea of where you want to go. Imagining that incredible mountain peak with winding trails to reach the top can be daunting. Knowing where to begin, how long it will take and the necessary steps to reach the end zone is not an easy feat. Fortunately, there is power in setting goals along the way to put achievement within reach.

Your partner is your person. They are the ones who will stand with you through good and bad and complement your perspective in life. So, ‘what to look for in a partner?’ is a commonly asked question in this context. We are here to help you answer that. No one in this world is perfect. Notwithstanding their flaws, everyone is beautiful in their own right. If you are on the lookout for that one perfect person, maybe you have set your hopes up too high. Your partner should understand you, love you, and support you and so should you. The two of you should have an understanding that makes it easier for you to have effective communication even in the hardest of times. Jyotika speaks to a young lady about her challenges of finding a partner

Are you a glass half-empty or half-full sort of person? Studies have demonstrated that both can impact your physical and mental health and that being a positive thinker is the better of the two.

A recent study followed 70,000 women from 2004 to 2012 and found that those who were optimistic had a significantly lower risk of dying from several major causes of death, including:

heart disease

stroke

cancer, including breast, ovarian, lung, and colorectal cancers

infection

respiratory diseases

Other proven benefits of thinking positively include:

better quality of life

higher energy levels

better psychological and physical health

faster recovery from injury or illness

fewer colds

lower rates of depression

better stress management and coping skills

longer life span

Positive thinking isn’t magic and it won’t make all of your problems disappear. What it will do is make problems seem more manageable and help you approach hardships in a more positive and productive way.

Giving respect to your kids will lead them to respect you.

The good news is we can make a few simple tweaks to the way we interact with our children that will ENCOURAGE a mutually respectful relationship. When we make an intentional effort to model a respectful attitude for our children, they are more likely to mimic it. The idea that children deserve to be treated with respect and dignity is the foundation of Positive Parenting.
