Self-Care With Shaki

Books are human's best friend and valuable mentor. Books can not only help us become a better person personally and spiritually but also financially. There are plenty of financial intelligence books packed with immense knowledge. There is no limit to the information you will gain through reading these books. I have listed below the books that may help you attain financial freedom when implemented correctly. 1. Rich Dad Poor Dad Rich Dad Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!  is something of a memoir with lessons attached. With an updated, 2017 version, 20 years since it was first published, this read is one of the bestselling personal finance books ever. Kiyosaki walks readers through some childhood reminiscences, a contrast between his not-very-wealthy father and the dad of his friend who happened to be one of the richest residents of Hawaii. The comparison shines a spotlight on how to best manage your money o...

Leadership is a quality. A quality that is most needed for any form of success. Most people always confuse between being a leader and being bossy. Being bossy will never yield you or your company a long time success. Leadership is an attitude of creating more leaders whereas bossy people have an attitude of superiority complex and refuse to lower their standard to meet the needs of others. There are so many good qualities one needs to possess in order to become an effective leader. I have listed down some of the points where leadership skills are tested. 1. Leaders require a growth mindset A growth mindset is all about learning. For one to become a good leader, he/she has to possess a growth mindset. Learning should be the main key to their success. When one is immensely committed to their growth, they tend to become successful naturally. Not only that, having a growth mindset will make you humble. Being humble is also an important trait a good leader should have. Whe...

Are you one among those who are striving hard to win? The one who works hard to taste the essence of success? Then this is for you. Do you think you can win in this super-competitive world? Almost, 50 years back there were fewer opportunities and lesser people trying to grab it. There were job flourishment and money flow. But, in today's world, you have ample opportunities and millions of people trying to make use of it. There are new emerging fields of job opportunities, there are new inventions now and then, there are so many resources to help you lift your life. But, as much as the opportunities have widened, the number of competitors has also increased. Nowadays, success is based on what you show to the world, how many followers you have on your Instagram and how many have viewed your YouTube video. The world is surviving on content and marketing. Even if you are a super scientist with extraordinary inventions, you will not be considered a success until you market your ...

Being optimistic is one of the great things that you can do to yourself. There are numerous benefits to being able to see light in dark situations. Research says that people who have an optimistic outlook towards life tend to be more productive, creative and happy. The most common misconception of optimistic people is concluding that they always think positive. Positive thinking is not optimism. Optimism is the ability to see good in bad. It is the capacity of a person to handle a not so good situation effectively. Optimistic people are also the happiest people on the planet. They have an effective solution to every problem and are more likely to develop a growth mindset. Optimists also have less cortisol (the stress hormone) and more serotonin (the mood-boosting neurotransmitter) flowing through their systems. Optimism is rooted in both the personality trait and from the environment. The socio-economic factors affect a person's mindset in a huge manner. People ...

Do you know what you want in 5 years of time? Do you know where you will be in the next 10 years? You just can't tell you will be a millionaire within the next five years while having no concrete plan. The daily habits you build and the goals you achieve today will count to your success in the next 5 to 10 years. To achieve any form of success, you need goal setting. An effectively organized goal will take you where you want to go. Without a goal, you will not have focus and direction in your life. To accomplish your goals, however, you need to know how to set them. You can't simply say, "I want" and expect it to happen. Goal setting is a process that starts with careful consideration of what you want to achieve and ends with a lot of hard work to actually do it. In between, there are some very well-defined steps that transcend the specifics of each goal. Knowing these steps will allow you to formulate goals that you can accomplish. 1. Your goal...

  Nobody gets everything they want. Even the richest person on the planet has something that he wants but doesn't have. Needs and wants might not always be things and money. It may be a person, health or time. There are endless wants that humans crave for. We badly want a thing, we sacrifice everything to get that but once we have it in our hands, the value of that thing decreases and our mind starts thinking about the next thing to buy. It is a cycle - an endless cycle of wants and needs. Nothing can satisfy a human who is bound to the wants and needs of the world/society.   Most of us get upset over not having what we want. People get upset over not having the latest model of the iPhone, not having the Mercedes, not able to buy that expensive jewelry or not having sufficient money for that PS4. I have seen people going into depression and behaving in an aggressive manner for not having the things they want. And moreover, they want it as soon as they think that they wa...

In this modern world of technology, there are a thousand things that can shift our focus. Social media and news are always keeping us distracted. We cannot complete any task completely if our focus is not on it. When our thoughts go on roller coaster ride every minute, the task we are doing slides down from our focus and becomes a stressor. Fortunately, there are ways that help you get less distracted and more focused. 1. Organization improves focus       Learn to be organized in whatever you do. An environmental organization is a must if you need to focus on your task solely. Eliminate all the things that do not matter to your task from the table. Only keep the notes or documents you need on your desk. Always keep the needful things with you before starting any tasks. Avoid wandering about and searching for something that you need between the tasks.       Always prepare a to-do list at the beginning of the day. Choose what you ar...
