Over the last couple of decades, a few different happiness theories have emerged from the science of positive psychology. The good news is that we are starting to have a long list of scientifically proven, practical strategies to increase happiness.

Self-coaching is the process of identifying the reason for a misfit between hopes/ intention and outcome, as well as solutions. It’s really the same as coaching, except that you take on the role of both the coachee and the coach.

Everyone always talks about how motivated they are to do something or not.

Have you ever wondered what the purpose of happiness is? Sure, it feels good, but is that it?

Entrepreneur and motivational speaker, Jim Rohn, famously said, “Either you run the day, or the day runs you.” The concept of self-leadership is certainly not new. Here is why you should learn to master it. The term self-leadership was first coined by Charles C. Manz in the 1980s. Somewhat synonymous with self-mastery, it evolved from the field of professional development and organisational behaviour in the leadership literature. It emerged based on the insight that self-lead
