    Ginger Root = good source of memory improvement

    I did not know that raw ginger had those benefits. I have heard that ginger is good for the immune system and for reducing inflammation, but I did not know it was good for the brain. Perhaps I should try it sometime. I'm a big fan of ginger. However, I am curious, does it have to be raw ginger...

    Improving Decision Making

    I certainly struggle with decision making. It doesn't help that I doubt myself a lot, so sometimes, I cannot tell if I am making the right decision for myself. I tend to overthink things as well. The advice I can give is that it is best to weigh your options as best you can. Try and lay out the...

    Get some sleep

    I agree. Studying right before sleeping is a good method, and it has been proven to work. Studying all night without any sleep is basically pointless because it tires out one's brain, and one is likely to do worse on a test because of it. Rest, in general, is quite important. Without sleep, it...

    Pets Can Contribute to Self-Help (w/ Pic)

    Owning a pet is definitely a good way to improve self-help methods. When one owns a pet, one feels responsible for that pet's happiness, and in a way, that can really improve one's self-worth. Additionally, owning a pet can reduce loneliness, both because a pet provides companionship and...

    There are many techniques for self-hypnosis. What works for one person might not work for another, but that is the benefit of having so many different methods to choose from. This one might be a little difficult to explain, but there is a self-hypnosis/meditation technique that can be really...

    Small Successes

    I think the little details can matter the most, in some cases. Small successes, for example, can be really great motivators. Of course, huge successes can be really great too, but I think people overlook smaller successes too. After building these up, one can feel accomplished and confident...

    Empowering Self-Talk

    I think this is actually a really productive method. Saying positive things about oneself can really improve one's self-perception. Saying negative things about oneself can have negative results in a similar way that saying positive things about oneself can create positive results. So, in...

    Coping with Social Anxiety (Parties are Painful)

    I agree with Ssandra and Uncle Dil; it takes practice. Being in consistent social settings can make things easier, as you gradually start to get used to it, if those social situations are not already incredibly stressful. In more comfortable settings, it is easier to practice being less shy. But...

It seems as if a growing number of younger people are struggling with having a positive self-esteem. I feel...

    Working from home

    When working from home, when I have several things to get done, I have always found it really helpful to do a little bit of work at a time. This sort of advice would greatly depend on a person's schedule, how much time a person has, how much work, etc. But for me, I find time to do a little bit...

    What Makes a Second Language Stick

    There are plenty of people who struggle with learning a second language. It can be a difficult skill to learn, and it can take a lot of time and dedication to learn a language, especially after a certain age (young children seem to adapt to second languages faster and easier than adults do)...
