Blossoming in the face of adversity takes a combination of factors, researchers say. Here's what to aim for.  In new and challenging situations, some people fold under pressure and some manage to squeak by. And then there are the people who really thrive—blossoming in the face of uncertainty or adversity. Now, researchers say they’ve pinpointed a number of personality traits and external factors that, when combined, can predict a person’s chances of thriving. For their new paper, published in European psychology, scientists from the University of Bath reviewed a wide variety of research on what makes people thrive in all types of circumstances—physically, professionally, athletically, artistically, and academically, to name a few. From those studies, they came up with two lists of variables—nine personal traits and six outside influences—that are common among people who continuously grow, learn, and succeed in life. People don’t have to possess every component on these lists in

The 3 commonest sexual problem among males. It is the direct opposite of premature ejaculation. Even though some men will prefer it to PE, it is still a serious medical condition nonetheless. Now, even though delayed ejaculation is the 3rd most common male sexual disorder, it is the most underreported and untalked about male sexual disorder! The reason for this may not be unconnected to the fact that mainstream media and pornography constantly depict unrealistic sexual performance feats, hence making most men with delayed ejaculation to consider it a blessing of some sort...a formidable magic wand capable of reviving the boredom and sexual unsatisfaction of women! Not so. As a matter of fact, some DE sufferers, by the mere act of denying the existence of this problem, often experience severe physical and mental distress and relationship problems with their partners. So what exactly is Delayed ejaculation (DE), if indeed it exists? What constitutes delayed ejaculation? Delayed ejacu

If falling asleep often feels more challenging than training for a marathon, you might be able to blame your diet. While eating a balanced mix of fruits, veggies, and protein will make you pass out like a baby, the second you turn off the lights, there is a handful of foods that do the exact opposite. Some foods are known for causing insomnia—and eating them in the evening is especially bad news for your sleep schedule, Byrdie reports. According to the Cleveland Clinic, that’s because while some edible options promote a healthy slumber, others decrease the sleep hormone serotonin, which makes resting up no small feat. The next time you are having trouble caching zzz's, try eliminating these common culprits from your diet, and you’ll be on the express train to snoozeville in no time. Eliminate these 6 sleep-stealing items from your diet for a better night’s sleep. 1. Fried foods Fried foods not only bring down your serotonin levels, but your body takes longer to digest the stuff

We all reach critical points in our lives where our mental strength is tested. It might be a toxic friend or colleague, a dead-end job, or a struggling relationship. Whatever the challenge, you have to see things through a new lens, and take decisive action if you want to move through it successfully. It sounds easy, but it isn’t. It’s fascinating how mentally strong people set themselves apart from the crowd. Where others see impenetrable barriers, they see challenges to overcome. Too many people succumb to the mistaken belief that mental strength comes from natural, unteachable traits that belong only to a lucky few. It’s easy to fall prey to this misconception. In reality, mental strength is under your control, and it’s a matter of emotional intelligence (EQ). When it first appeared to the masses, emotional intelligence served as the missing link in a peculiar finding: people with average IQs outperform those with the highest IQs 70% of the time. This anomaly threw a massive wre

If dreams were movies, they wouldn't make a dime. They're often banal, frequently fleeting and they're screened for an audience of just one. As for the storyline? You're in a supermarket, only it's also Yankee Stadium, shopping with your second-grade teacher until she turns into Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Then you both shoot a bear in the cereal aisle. Somebody call rewrite. But dreams are vastly more complex than that, and if you've got a theory that explains them, have at it. The ancient Egyptians thought of dreams as simply a different form of seeing, with trained dreamers serving as seers to help plan battles and make state decisions. The ancient Greeks and Romans believed that dreams were equal parts predictions of future events and visitations by the dead. Sigmund Freud considered dreaming an expression of repressed conflicts or desires, which were — no surprise, this being Freud — often sexual in nature. Carl Jung took a more rigorous approach, explaining dre

How you can apply them today to make your team more successful Google studied 180 teams through its Project Aristotle over two years. They were on a quest to find the common traits among the most successful ones. Going in, they assumed the best teams were comprised of the most skilled people. But that wasn't the case. Instead, they found 5 core characteristics of high-performing teams: 1) Dependability, 2) Structure and clarity, 3) Meaning, 4) Impact, and 5) Psychological Safety. If you're a project manager, how can you incorporate these important characteristics into your team? 1. Help team members fulfill their commitments.  Too often, we fling assignments "over the fence" to team members without thinking too much about whether the task is doable in the timeframe provided. It just needs to get done. Once you send out the assignment, it's the other person's problem, right? Managers of high-performing teams don't think so. They consciously set their tea

The following story is excerpted from TIME's special edition,  The Science of Childhood. When Frances Jensen’s eldest son, Andrew, reached high school, he underwent a transformation. Frances’s calm, predictable child changed his hair color from brown to black and started wearing bolder clothing. It felt as if he turned into an angst-filled teenager overnight. Jensen, now the chair of the neurology department at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, wondered what happened and whether Andrew’s younger brother would undergo the same metamorphosis. So she decided to use her skills as a neuroscientist to explore what was happening under the hood. “I realized I had an experiment going on in my own home,” says Jensen, author of  The Teenage Brain . That was about 10 years ago, when society at large was only beginning to catch up to the idea that the teen brain was not a fully developed adult brain, just with less mileage. For generations, the overarching th

You can rewire your brain to improve mindset, increase happiness and success, and keep you focused on your goals. And it all begins with this 17 seconds. This is a 17-second rule. Everyone experiences stretches of life, whether a few days or many years, when the down days are more frequent than the good.

I'm here to tell you that it's not difficult--you can shift your mood and mind, in a mere 17 seconds. There have been amazing advancements neuroscience, especially in understanding the power of states like happiness, gratitude, resilience, love, compassion, and so forth.

I learned this techni

When to eat, drink, sleep, and think deep thoughts. You might think you’re in control of your activities, but your body evolved to follow a natural rhythm.(fact) Sticking closer to that routine can help keep you in good shape. Drink coffee Sipping caffeine is best done early in the day. Taken later, it can reset your body’s clock and prevent sleep. If you’re sure you can take a shot of espresso at 8 p.m. and be snoring by 10, try skipping the caffeine for a few weeks to see what a night of truly good rest feels like. Eat It’s best to eat your biggest meal early, contrary to a typical American day. Insulin,the hormone that regulates metabolism. it peaks in the first half of the day, then steadily reduces. So your blood sugar is less likely to skyrocket after a big breakfast than after a comparable dinner. Sleep Around 8 or 9 p.m., our bodies start to cool down, and we sleep better when we have a low core body temperature. But how much shut-eye is ideal? Studies show that those wh

"Never trying because you were afraid " is the only failure you can't learn from. -fact You’re brainstorming a crazy idea, thinking of quitting your day job, and building a wildly successful business.

Want A Normal Life? Here's How. "Life offers no guarantees but this much is certain ".-fact   If you clicked on this article because you're okay giving up on your dreams for what's ordinary and predictable there's not much need to read any further, just carry on; it's your choice and you're the only person who has to live with it. Still here? Good. This is about being anything but normal. Our greatest fear is uncertainty. We will do anything to avoid it; lie to ourselves, pretend we're okay with the safe bet that we don't want to make, and store up regrets we hope will magically evaporate. In short, we cast away our dreams and settle for the certainty of ordinary because we fear the uncertainty of extraordinary. We will brilliantly rationalize our decision to step away from our dreams so that we can live with ourselves. You do it, I do it, we all do it; all the time. And the more intelligent you are the greater the risk that you'll

 In 1966, just over 50 years ago, the distinguished Canadian-born anthropologist Anthony Wallace confidently predicted the  fact that there will be a global demise of religion at the hands of an advancing science: 'belief in supernatural powers is doomed to die out, all over the world, as a result of the increasing adequacy and diffusion of scientific knowledge and facts'. Wallace's vision was not exceptional. On the contrary, the modern social sciences, which took shape in 19th-century western Europe, took their own recent historical experience of secularisation as a universal model. An assumption lay at the core of the social sciences, either presuming or sometimes predicting that all cultures would eventually converge on something roughly approximating secular, Western, liberal democracy.-fact Then something closer to the opposite happened. Not only has secularism failed to continue its steady global march but countries as varied as Iran, India, Israel, Algeria and T

" The path to success starts with seeing things as they really are- f act ." There are a lot of "truths" related to business success including: If you don't take care of your customers someone else will. Business is not about selling, it's about relationships. Correlations are not always causations. And last but maybe truest, all of us are smarter than any of us. Each of these is a foundational axiom for advancement in both life and commerce, but there are also lies that people believe that hold them back and limit their abilities. Here are three common lies that unsuccessful people believe. 1. "I have a college degree, so I deserve a job."As obvious as it seems, having any kind of degree is not a guarantee of an employment and that includes a Masters degree or Ph.D. As harsh as it sounds in this hyper-politically correct environment, nobody deserves employment.In our capitalist system, the reason why you don't have an employment is that you&
