    How to organise yourself to practice Self-Love

    Write your long-term and short-term goals separately – for example, a long term goal would be to save money for a house of your own and a short term goal would be to get good grades at the the upcoming exam. Get a to-do list for the day, week and month. Journal your day to day work. Spend less time on social media and more time on creating great content that inspires yourself and others.

    JAFFNA

    The trip to Jaffna was planned to go by the train and it had to be booked a few weeks prior to the trip. However, the train we booked and the train we got was different from each other, well it wasn’t that bad, but it wasn\’t the most luxurious ride I would say. To book the train ticket visit http://www.railway.gov.lk/web/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=61&Itemid=68&lang=en We stayed at Thalsevana Holiday Resort Kankesanthurai which is run by the Security Forces Headquarters – Jaffna.

    Why do you need to check Social Media every second?

    The compulsive urge to check social media every second could be a sign of an addiction. It is shown that social media addicts show brain patterns similar to drug addicts. However, unlike those of drug addicts, the part of the brain that is responsible for inhibiting such self-destructive behaviour seems to be functional among social media addicts. Which means getting out of such an addiction could be easier. Nir Eyal in his book “Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products” describes four elements in social media sites that glue people into them. The first is a trigger. Initially, the trigger is…

    You are the best project you will ever work on !

    Building a life that you can be proud of is not easy, as is it always easy to try to help others and solve their problems. Helping, loving ourselves is lot harder than we think. Feeding your body with health and tasty food, working out, educating your selves with resourceful information and surrounding yourself with good people is something that we should try working with. It requires immense discipline to do all those – to love ourselves. It would not be wrong if I say, self discipline is synonym for self love! To look at another person and to try…

    Why goals are overrated?

    Anybody can have goals. However, what sets winners apart from losers is not goals. It is the process. What winners do differently is that they create a system and adhere to it. Sure, having goals is fun, but setting them alone won\’t get you anywhere. You need to create a system to achieve those goals and should be able to consistently follow it. If you don’t adhere to that system, the results won\’t show as well. For example, let’s say you need to loose 10 KG, simply having the goal and telling yourself that you are going to loose 10…

Dutch renamed the fort as Hammenhiel (Heel of the Ham) as it takes the shape of a smoked ham (shank bone).
