“You are not a drop in the ocean.

“I shut my eyes in order to see.”

“I embrace mistakes;They make you who you are.”

“Reality is wrong;Dreams are for real.”

Originating from the Latin phrase Carpe Diem,YOLO emphasizes living in the moment and making the most of one’s time.

However,when this philosophy is adopted without consideration for consequences,it can lead to impulsive behaviors and a disregard for long-term well-being.

It defines “State of deeply felt distress or sorrow or unhappiness,as characterized by emotions ranging from mild discontentment to deep grief, emotions experienced when not in a state of well-being.”

Sadness is an emotion that organizes our behavioral responses to losses of someone or something important and/or to something not attained.

Sadness reminds us of what matters to us.

It can focus our attention on pursuing values,important goals and communicating to others that we need support.

Neuroimaging Studies – including meta-analyses – indicate that sadness is associated with reduced cortical activation,which may contribute to reduced parasympathetic inhibitory control over medullary cardioacceleratory circuits.

Sadness is valid and useful;it alerts us to how we need to treat ourselves, and also as to how we want to be treated by others.

Psychological Symptoms:

Having low self-esteem,feeling tearful,feeling guilt-ridden, feeling irritable and intolerant of others.

Embracing sadness,on the other hand,helps us identify what is wrong and promotes thinking of ways to cope with and heal from difficult experiences.

It allows us to know ourselves better and increases our empathy for others.

Machiavellian is sneaky, cunning, and lacking a moral code.

The word comes from the Italian philosopher Niccolò Machiavelli, who wrote the political treatise The Prince in the 1500s, that encourages “the end justifies the means” behavior,especially among politicians.

Though not every Machiavellian has a high IQ, there is some evidence that, of the dark triad traits, Machiavellianism is most closely associated with intelligence.

Machiavellianism in psychology refers to a personality trait that sees a person so focused on their own interests they will manipulate,deceive and exploit others to achieve their goals.

Machiavellianism is one of the traits in what is called the ‘Dark Triad’.

Machiavellians can experience romantic attraction and form attachments, including falling in love.

However,they tend to view relationships as a means to an end, or struggle to prioritize their partner’s wants or needs.

Machiavellianism are more drawn to academic majors like economics, law and politics as opposed to the “person-oriented” majors like education, nursing and social work that were associated with lower Machiavellianism scores.

The Machiavellian intelligence hypothesis proposes that individuals in complex social groups require sophisticated social cognition.

This hypothesis has advanced our understanding of the complex social lives of animals and how individuals interact with others in their groups.

How to Become Happy in 30 Seconds or Less!

This knowledge about happiness states that 50% of our happiness is determined by genetics, 10% by our circumstances and 40% by our internal state of mind.

This rule originates from the book “The How Of Happiness” written by Sonja Lyubomirsky. A lot of people and even psychologists live by this rule.

Take one deep breath.
Find something in your day that triggers a feeling of gratitude. Take time to appreciate something that didn’t happen during your day.
Smile.
Slap a label on your negative feelings.
Sit up straight.
Notice the small pleasures in life and appreciate them.

90% of our happiness is determined not by our genes or environment, but by our perception of the world.
