Impostor Syndrome: Why Success Makes You Feel Like A Fraud

Impostor Syndrome: Why Success Makes You Feel Like A Fraud

I’m just some guy writing this. I was certainly not an English major, and can count the number of papers I wrote in college on one hand. Nor am I a positive psychologist, or a psychologist of any kind for that matter. I’m not a doctor, nutritionist, or otherwise accredited as a health expert. I […]

“You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection." – Buddha It was at the 2012 Rutgers University Dance Marathon (RUDM) where I discovered this simple, versatile tool. It can and should be used in almost any situation, and it is easy enough to do that even the most […]

Resilience: Becoming Antifragile In The Face Of Adversity

Bad things happen. It’s just a fact of life. As far as I can tell, this isn’t going to change anytime soon, unless, of course, a super-intelligent AI comes along and solves all human problems. For the sake of this post, let’s assume that this doesn’t happen for a little while. What are we going […]

Write About Your Experiences. It’s Good For You.

Those of you who have been reading my blog for a while are well aware of the value I place on writing. I find that any time I’m mulling something over, writing down my thoughts on it really helps give me more clarity. In general, I feel as though I’ve framed writing as a more […]

The Positive Side Of Negative Emotions

The Positive Side Of Negative Emotions

This blog is called Feel Happiness for a reason. The pursuit of happiness is indeed a noble pursuit, and working to become a happier person has many obvious (and some not so obvious) benefits. But it would be easy to take this truth and derive some altogether false and damaging ideas from it. Happiness is […]

Escapism: Leave Your Fantasy World And Live In Reality

“The Difference Between Medicine and Poison is in the Dose" by Circa Survive “Did you ever wish you were somebody else?" This line from one of my all time favorite songs is one that I think most people would have to answer with a “yes". Who hasn’t, at one point or another, wished they had […]

Avoid The Dangers Of The Personal Development Industry

Avoid The Dangers Of The Personal Development Industry

Here’s something obvious: I’m a fan of personal development. Self-improvement is a wonderful thing! Through improving ourselves, we learn to overcome our fears, achieve our goals, develop stronger relationships, push past boundaries and plateaus, and get to know and understand ourselves far better. But there is also a dark side to personal development. The self-help […]

How To Recover When You Are Off-Course

Consider driving to some destination, with your GPS guiding you.. It turns out that one of the main roads you were going to take is under construction, and you can’t go that way. Despite your frustration, the GPS begins “recalculating”. With its directions, you take some other roads you are unfamiliar with, but end up […]

Letting Your Mind Wander: The Effects Of Fantasizing And Visualizing

Letting Your Mind Wander: The Effects Of Fantasizing And Visualizing

Since returning from Israel almost two months ago, I’ve found myself slipping into daydream an awful lot. My mind will wander from whatever it is I’m doing to a scene of beaches along the Mediterranean, a crater in the Negev, or a bar in Tel Aviv. I have a love/hate relationship with daydreaming. On the […]
