Reflection on Amal Totkay
By: Muhammad Faizan
Tags: Amal Totkay

All the five tips were very appealing and fascinating for the growth mindset and to push myself for a new idea or strategy in order to think outside the box, the main takeaway from all these tips or totkay was that you don’t underestimate yourself if someone can do a thing you can do it too or you can do it in a better way just trust yourself train your mind and think outside the box, take feedback from your trust one who are not teasing you instead give you a productive feedback to improve yourself.

My favorite tip from them was “fake it till you make it” because I thought that if you wanted to do something and your mind was not prepared to do that thing you need to train it or impose that fake thinking on yourself and said to your mind that you are what you are doing.

I think I have started the first tip of “self talk” and also “ask people help”.

For a growth mindset I have started a new activity positive thinking or pushing myself out of the box form today, because I think that the charm and peace of comfort zone rusting my abilities to achieve what I had dream.

The Amal Totkay are basically the five principles that Amal Academy believes to follow for growth mindset and success. This is the short reflection on all of them. These 5 tips are found on one of the Amal’s courses.

Self Talk:

The book “The Power of Subconscious Mind” describes very well that the self talk impacts on our mind very much. Whatever we tell ourselves consciously, it affects our subconscious mind which drives our action. My takeaway is “always talk to yourself with kindness and respect and talk positive things”. I implement it by writing the things(big and small) I achieved everyday by and thank myself for doing them.

2.Get out of Comfort Zone:

The comfort zone assures that there is no threat around and a person can live and breathe without fear of crisis. This is actually a survival mechanism that we humans developed over the course of centuries when we were brought to this world full of crisis and challenges. My takeaway is that comfort zone is a beautiful place and it should not be left unless leaving it promises a huge reward. For this, a person needs to do calculations before taking such risk. Am implementing this in my life not by challenging myself or telling myself the stuff I don’t even care about. I do this with proper calculation and take required steps to achieve whatever I want to that is outside my comfort zone. I believe I can stay in my comfort zone and be successful at the same time by continuously modifying the thing I actually call “My Comfort Zone”.

3.Create New Habits:

World runs on Change. Nothing is temporary and so shouldn’t we. Creating new habits creates a valuable life style which not only succeeds us in a certain profession but in life. This is my takeaway from this point. For implementing this, I am incorporating Workout and Reading as my permanent habits and also developing the new habit of Extraversion, focus and getting up early.

4.Ask for help:

We cannot do big things alone. So we must ask for help to do the team work. Ek aur ek gyara. That’s why we must ask for help to do amazing work in less time. For implementing this, I am distributing chores between my family members to make time for more productive work.

5.Fake it till you make it:

Success does not come easily and wait is sometimes overwhelming. That’s why we need not only to visualize but act like the successful version of ourselves. My takeaway s this and am implementing it by working on my confidence to make it like a successful version of me.

My favorite tip is Comfort zone and Fake it till you make it.

IN THIS UNIVERSE, every human being has a skill in himself. Every thing we do either a job or a business demands skills. Sometimes professional degree helps us get our required skills while in other cases sometimes these skills are already there. We have to just polish them out. Totkay means using your skill in a different way than others which lead to sorting your problems out.

Below mentioned are some of the points, that come under discussion when we discuss the term ‘TOTKAY’

Self Talk: Self talk means simply talking to yourself. Why its necessary? S, that we can evaluate our self before taking any step.

2. Getting out of comfort zone: It means getting yourself ready for it. Ready for what? Ready to brain storm yourself. What is brain storming? Its kind of energetic thinking, thinking out of box. It also means to act on the motto of KAAM KAAM KAAM. Hard work is always done when you came out of your comfort zone.

3. Creating new habits: New habits always polish a man. New habits makes a new you. When we develop something new in us, we unlock one of our trait. Even setting a goal to wake up early is a skill. Setting your hours to study, getting your diet balanced, maintaining your relations etc are all habits which affects a person optimistically.

4. Ask People help: It’s always healthy to inquire others, ask others for help. It will help us in many ways. Firstly, it is our basic obligation as Muslims to do this so. Secondly, it will help us too in many ways. We can use our skills and tatkay to help and sort the problem out.

5. Fake it till you make it: Means pretend to be something that one is not or to have some knowledge or ability that one doesn’t really have.

This term amal totkay basically reflects how to Develop a Growth Mindset, especially for those who want to achieve something big i.e. their dreams. This serves as a great platform for them, as it inculcates those traits that our needed to succeed in its 3 month fellowship program.

To develop a growth mindset these following are the totka’s:

Key takeaways:

Self Talk : This is very important, because if you don't feel confident about yourself, things will not go as planned. So to be successful self talk which boosts your confidence is important. You are what you think you are. Get out of your comfort zone: Many people like to wish good things happen to them while lying in their comfort zones and not challenging themselves to new tasks and opportunities. Success is born of struggle. Coming out of your comfort zone is very difficult but it surely is the pathway to your dream life. Create new habits: Their is no no truth in overnight success, it takes time. So to evaluate yourself to be on the growth mindset every now and than creating new habits from which we learn and grow are important and getting rid of our previous habits is also a part of it e.g. instead of watching Netflix and social media pages all day we can move towards watching self development and skill learning courses. Ask people for help : We should never be afraid of asking people for help. Others might know something we don’t know and that might be helpful to us. Fake it till you make it: Growth is scary, when you step out of your comfort zones its not comfortable till its comfortable. So this is important to help you calm yourself when you are challenging yourself and pushing your limits forward.

My Favorite tip/totka:

Fake it till you make it and Self Talk are my favorite tips as when I find myself in positions I am not use to, I use these totka’s and most of time it is successful.

Implementation:

Recently I have started running a mile with a time limit. It is very easy to to say here but trust me the throat and the breathlessness kill you there. I have started to use this totka to fake it till I make it to the end line of the mile: “I repeat, its near, its almost done, I can see it”. Which is never the case, this helps me complete my mile every single time. Self talk and fake it really helps.

What can I do starting today

The Kaizen Approach, the approach is based on individuals changing one percent on a daily basis. When you change or create new habits help you to develop a growth mindset.

I would follow the kaizens approach everyday to integrate amal totkas of growth.

I have to complete Project #4 assigned by Amal Academy in which I have to complete the course “Productivity: The Secret of Getting Things Done”. For this, I have set up 4 alarms which are required for Pomodoro’s technique.

In this activity, I start working on the course by setting the first alarm of 02:25 pm. Then I take the break of 3 minutes and jotted down all the distractions that I have faced. At this time, I have been distracted by my friend who comes to meet me and by my social media notifications.

Then in 2nd part of this activity, I resume my work on the course by setting a second alarm of 02:55 pm. Then I take the break of 3 minutes and jotted down all the distractions that I have faced. At this time, I have been distracted by my phone’s charger to charge up my phone, and also I have to wake my roommate.

Then in 3rd part of this activity, I resume my work on the course by setting the third alarm of 03:25 pm. Then I take the break of 3 minutes and jotted down all the distractions that I have faced. At this time, I have been distracted as I have to stand out to pick up my laptop’s charger as the laptop’s battery is down.

Then in the 4rth part of this activity, I resume my work on the course by setting the fourth alarm of 03:55 pm. Then I take the break of 3 minutes and jotted down all the distractions that I have faced. At this time, looking up at the mug to wash and looking outside the window to see the pleasant weather can make me distracted very much.

Experience:

As far as this activity is concerned, it helps me to look:

What are the things that actually distracted me while I am working on any project..! Moreover, it was my first experience with the Pomodoro technique and it shows wonderful results to me.
Maximize Productivity with POMODORO technique.

Tags: Amal Fellowship, Amal Totkay, Amal Academy

Amal Academy gave me a task to write this blog, in this blog, I am writing my experience using POMODORO technique. The main purpose of adopting this technique is to bring the best results in your work. So I decided to turn off my mobile for an hour and finish the online course-2 of Project-4 work by AMAL academy. In the beginning there was no problem but as time went on I kept on turning on my mobile and resting for a while. , But I kept myself busy and little by little I finally finished my task. When this work was over, I felt happy and relaxed that I finished my work according to the plan, which also increased my self-confidence. Was small and looked good but one thing is done according to the plan. From this practical work it became clear that if I do my big and difficult task by dividing it into sub parts and staying away from the distractions around me, Like social media, TV, or family interference during my work time it will not be more difficult to complete that task .

This method is helpful in finishing any task and finishing quickly in a better way, so by using this method in the coming days ,I w ill continue to try to finish all my important task .

Happy Learning ,Thank You.

Totkay for Growth Mindset

Totkays are the hacks one can practice in their daily lives for the improvement in life for day-to-day tasks. While we talk about Amal Totkay, we consider them as the hacks for our personal and professional growth. Laiba Arshad Aug 19·3 min read

For a growth mindset, some type of tokay’s must work in our lives and we should be followed them. Because for success, any type of initial steps must be adopted and these small steps direct us into our successful path.

Following tokays were formed by the Amal team that really worked.

1) Self-talk

2) Get out of your comfort zone

3) Create new habits

4) Ask people to help

5) Fake it till you make it

All these tokays are very helpful for developing a growth mindset. Every totka has its own importance.

1) Self-talk

Self-talk increases our confidence and helps us to create new ideas or make better our old ideas. These ideas of life resolve our problems. Self-talk creates positivity in ourselves and diverts our mind toward our past achievements and these achievements boost us and remove all negativities.

2) Get out of your comfort zone

Getting out of your comfort zone means increasing your confidence by socializing yourself and making new experiments that may be led to your success part. this is my favorite step or we can say that Amal totka because it really helps me because I do not make friends earlier that is the negative part of my personality but after that I socialize myself.

3) Create new habits

Habits should be changed from time to time according to a situation because it will help us to understand the current affairs or environments. This step also helps me and I have formed a writing habit in myself.

4) Ask people to help

I was very shy and never asked for help even from my friend because it made me feel ashamed, but after knowing its importance, I was shocked and confident. This confidence makes me successful in my field.

5) Fake it till you make it

It is my life motto that you have to smile even when you don’t feel like it, you have to complete the task even you don’t want to. You have to be fully confident presenting in front of your teachers although you’re shivering inside.

In the end, these tips enhanced my time management skills, motivating me to do better and boosting my confidence while presenting something or discussing it in groups. If an introvert like me can implement these tips so anyone can. So, anyone can easily implement it on themselves and get success.
Developing a growth mindset

Tags: Amal Totkay, Growth Mindset

The Greek philosopher Heraclitus once said that the only constant is life is change which means that We all face changes every day — whether it is a simple change in the weather, our schedule or expected change of seasons.

Change affects us all and we each deal with change differently. This only constant in life, the only thing we can be sure will happen. we all have to adapt to the rapidly changing environment and that is why one has to be a life long learner and only a person having a growth mindset can achieve life long learning.

The key steps to develop a growth mindset are

self talk

It happens all the time in our life that we talk to ourselves through our thoughts and it matters how we initiate that conversation in our mind about ourselves. the talk that we have should always be motivating and inspiring instead of demotivating and upsetting. because we would never like someone to upset us by there reviews and talk then why should we?

2. Get out of your comfort zone

“Its only after you get out of your comfort zone that you begin to change, grow and transform” when we let ourselves go into challaneigng situation only then we can reach our maximum capability. if one really wants to be successful in life then he/she should never back away from risks and always try to do something out of there comfort zone.

3. Create new habits

if you want to have a growth mindset and start learning new things everyday. create new habits and follow them.

4. Ask people for help

Like many other organisms human is also a social animal and nothing is possible without the help of our friends and family. The social relationship with people is something that keeps us going in life. In the same way achieving a growth mindset will not be possible without your peers constantly helping you and giving you feedback and suggestions to improve

5. Fake it till you make it

According to psychology “fake it will you make it” is an English aphorism that suggests that by imitating confidence, competence, and an optimistic mindset, a person can realize those qualities in their real life. This strategy doesn’t work all the time but it is still great approach while developing a positive mindset.

In conclusion following these tips can have a very constructive influence in your life and can help you lead a more balanced and focused life.
A step toward protection of Environment and optimized solution of power production

A step toward protection of Environment and optimized solution of power production

Problem: High cost of Electrical Energy(COE)/High demand of Energy And Hazards toward the environment.

There are many methods by which we can produce Electricity But we have to go for an Optimized one, which means low cost and efficiency.

Secondly, To decrease the effect of pollutants on the environment, All the ancient techniques used for power production(coal, diesel, etc.) have some negative effects on the environment so we have to go towards power production which has a less or no harmful effect on the environment(i.e. solar system).

As the demand for energy increases the production also increases, But not in the same trend as demand. So we have to go for a solution which meets the demands and is economical also. As in the above graph, you can see that if we increase the production from solar power plants the cost of energy decreases exponentially. we meet our demands without disturbing nature.

But rather if we follow the trends and went towards classical methods of production of Electricity then we may meet our demand but on the trade-off. In response, we have to pay in form of economy and Pollution.

So after researching and experience, I came to the conclusion that the solar system is the best option for us.

Benefits:

No greenhouse gases

Ongoing Free Energy

Decentralization of power

Going off the grid with solar

Solar jobs

Its very important to have a growth mindset in order to pursue a positive career. Amal totkay are the tips to help us out gaining the mindset as well as how to maintain it. Most of the students are having a fixed mindset which stop the growth and success become bounded to chains. If someone is interested in entrepreneurship they definitely have growth mindset. Amal academy will help us out finding our weakness and how we can work on our mindsets.

The five tips which plays a great part in the recipe of Amal totkay are (1) taking to your own self positively here I can also say that no one knows a person better the he himself so talking to yourself giving contrary feedbacks to your negative thoughts actually boast up our confidence level and encourage us to take positive actions. (2)One of the most difficult task is to get out of your comfort zone and start exploring the things which you didn’t, Being a reserved person is a good thing but we have to change our self according to the situation. (3) We love what we do daily but when it comes to take risk and try something new we become afraid . We should try to some new activity and engage ourselves in new habits. (4) Peer reviews are important some times we don’t know about our qualities and its okay to ask someone and bear their negative feedbacks. (5)This last totka is all about imitating confidence, competence, and an optimistic mindset, a person can realize those qualities in their real life and achieve the results they seek.

THE AMAL TOTKA’S

Amal totka are very beneficial for us if we work on it daily as drop by drop it make river. Having a positive mindset or having a growth mindset are not two different things you have to be optimistic while working into your growth mindset.

My favorite tip is ‘’Get out of your comfort zone’’. I guess this is the most important tip I need. You cant achieve anything without working on it. Similar example is that if we want to eat mc Donald's and the only way to get food is to go their and take it so you have one option you have to get out of your home to full fill the desire. Getting out of your comfort zone is just like exploring your own selves. For one time you will feel awkward or whatever but taking a first step towards it will change your life as well.

The tip I started implemented in my life is also the favorite tip of mine which is getting out of comfort zone. Daily basis I interact with different people of my group I share my ideas they share their ideas . Some places you do have to un reserved and it actually worth it.

For the development of a growth mindset, I can intermix some of the totkay together like positive talk to my own self like what are my short comings and how I can improve these. Second mix will be making new habits daily in order to overcome my short comings. In the end I will be with a productive outcome.

This report elaborates that due to human activities such as: Deforestation, Industrialization, and urbanisation has increased the world temperature. In 1951 to 1980 the increment in the temperature was one degree and till then 2020 the temperature increased by 1 more. Scientists reported that by 2050 the temperature of the Earth will be 1.5 centigrade higher than average.Consequently, the heat waves will come into existence and so many people will die, animals will be affected and our green areas will also be affected.

All the countries in the world are now dependent on fuel consuming vehicles and industries. Day by day the ratio of greenhouse gasses has been increasing and this is also a great threat to the environment because rising in vehicles, industrialization and deforestation means the access of these gases and in the coming era these gases will not be able to maintain the temperature of environment.

This report was taken in 2011 and it elaborates that as the deforestation and industrialization increases, the greenhouse effect will increase. As a result, these gases will be collected in the clouds and acid rain will occur, aquatic life as well as jungles, and crops will be affected.There will be drought for years and many people and animals will die.

In Pakistan, It is expected that the climate change has wide-ranging impacts, for instance reduction in agricultural productivity, increased coastal erosion, increased variability of water availability, sea water incursion, and increased frequency of extreme climatic events.

Serious initiatives are needed to be taken before it too late. Investing in new technology is not enough to stop climate change. We should fight this challenge with natural way.

For coming challenge I have little plan to contribute in it and I will share it soon.

Self-talk means talking to yourself when you are alone. Talking to yourself is the way to ask what are you doing, what you want to achieve.

For self-talk, you must be alone for peaceful talk to yourself.

So include hobbies which help you for further growth.

4. Ask People Help

For mindset growth, you must get talk to people and get feedback from people who notice you. Ask them to help me if they feel any change in the behavior while interacting. Feedback from the people will improve your mindset and you can know about yourself that what other people think about me.

5. Fake it till you make it

#REFLECTION ON AMAL TOTKAY. A totkay is basically a household…

Tags: Amal Totkay, Amal Academy, Amal Project

A totkay is basically a household remedy and gives surprising effect. It often times called “Jugad”.

How the totkay can help to build a growth mindset?

Here I share some totkay which help everyone to build a growth mindset, so that you all come out from your comfort zone and think out of the box.

1. SELF TALK

The conversations you have with yourself are a direct reflection of your mindset. Self-talk is your internal dialogue. It’s influenced by your subconscious mind, and it reveals your thoughts, beliefs, questions, and ideas. Self-talk can be both negative and positive. It can be encouraging, and it can be distressing.

If you are visionary and optimist then self talk will be more hopeful and positive.

If you are pessimist then self talk will be negative.

For growth mindset it is necessary to change your internal dialogue and make your self talk more positive.

2. GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE

Make changes in your daily routine and put up yourself in different challenging situation and focus on your creativity, it helps you respond to life stress when unexpected things happen.

Come out from comfort zone and get success.

3. CREATE NEW HABITS

Start with incredibly small habits and make it so easy you can’t say no when adopting these.

Step by step increase your habits from “fixed” to “growth”. Now make schedule of your learning and check your progress on daily basis. This will encourage you to change your fixed mindset to growth mindset.

4. ASK PEOPLE FOR HELP

Connecting with those people who really help you in developing growth mindset. This step takes courage. And connecting with different people will help you to get experience of others and also the positive feedback but ensure that you choose people who know you well and care about you.

5. FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT

This step will give you confidence because one part of your confidence is being able to accept task slightly beyond your comfort level, with the belief that you can use all of your strengths, knowledge and skills to complete the tasks. Research shows that if you act as if you were competent and confident in an area, will eventually lead to improved competence and confidence.

These all tips are really good and I have already started them to apply. My favorite tip is to “create new habits” because it is very interesting to change your mindset on daily basis and check your achievements.

There are five Amal totkay which help you to develop a Growth Mindset.

Self Talk Get out of your Comfort Zone Create new Habits Ask People Help Fake it till you Make it

1). Self Talk

Self talk is basically your inner voice, the voice in your mind that you can do it or not. It can be encouraging, and it can be distressing. Much of your self-talk depends on your personality. There are two kinds of Self talk. One is positive and the other is Negative. Some examples of positive self-talk: ‘I can do it. I’m good enough. ‘ ‘If I want to, I can. ‘ ‘It doesn’t matter if I make a mistake. Some example of negative self talk: ‘I can’t do it. I’m not good enough to achieve my goals.’

2). Get out of your Comfort Zone

It is important to get out of your comfort zone because in your comfort zone, your brain doesn’t want anything to change. Getting out of your comfort zone from time to time creates just enough good stress to ramp up your focus, creativity, pace, and drive, and it helps you respond to life stress when unexpected things happen. It is not difficult to get out of your comfort zone. Take the first step.

3). Create new habits

Habit is something like positive change in yourself. The best way to form a new habit is to tie it to an existing habit. It is very important element for the growth of our mindset. If we develop a habit of something learning then it is good for us.

4). Ask people help

If you need any kind of help, ask people for help. The main purpose for asking help is to gain more knowledge to solve a problem the next time it occurs. Taking feedback from the people is the best example of ask people help because when they give you feedback you know about whether the solution is working or not.

5). Fake it till you Make it

It is also an important totka because when you have confidence, you can do anything. You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.

Favorite Tip and Implementation

My favorite tip is self talk and get out of your comfort zone. I’ll implement these five Amal totkas in my life because these totkas are important for the growth of our mindset. Thank you so much Amal for providing us these totkay which will be very helpful in our future.

If we want to have a growth mindset we must practice Amal Totkay in our daily life most of them i have been utilizing in my life but today i encountered them.

Self Talk

changing negative self-talk to an empowerment speech has really worked for me in everyday life there are many challenges which scares me some time and most of the time people around me scare me more by saying that this thing is too difficult you can’t do this.

I usually try this tip by telling myself “nothing is difficult in this world for the one who really wants to do it”.

2. Get Out of Your Comfort Zone

When I was preparing for my ECAT I faced negative talks that you cannot take admission in a good public engineering university on merit on this percentage it is not an easy task.

That time I got out of my comfort zone by challenged myself and I worked hard to prepare myself for scoring high marks in entry test I used to study whole day till late night i avoided social gatherings and all entertaining things like dramas, films etc.

And eventually i succeeded and got admission in a good public engineering university on merit!

3. Create New Habits

Creating new and powerful habits to develop a growth mindset is very necessary for example creating habit of learning new thing.

‘If you want to be what you dream to be, at first change your habits’

4. Ask People Help

We should ask people help but keep in mind that people who really care for you and knows you well enough ask them for help by taking their feedback in this way you will improve more. And everyday improvement is one of the elements of growth mindset.

5. Fake It Till You Make It

It is quite similar to self talk, in self talk what we do we talk empowerment speech to ourselves and in Fake It Till you Make It you start believing in them.

For example in reality you lack confidence and you want to be confident enough, try to feel and believe that you are a confident person and you will observe a change that you are becoming confident day by day.

This is because of power of thoughts, that is why it is always said that “Always think positive”.

My favorite tip is self talk i believe that what ever you talk to yourself (or i may say whatever message you give to your mind) has power and our body and mind behave accordingly.

To develop a growth mindset Amal has a few tips called Amal Totkay

Self-Talk

Get out of your comfort zone

Create new habits

Ask people for help

Fake it till you make it

These five tips of Amal are simple yet effective. It shows that the the only hurdle in the way of developing a growth mindset is a person himself. By talking to yourself, getting out of your comfort zone, making the powerful habits the part of your daily life really pays off, similarly asking for help and then by pretending that you have actually made it really helps you. This way you can achieve anything you want and get rid of your bad habits as well.

My favorite would be Asking people for help. This is something that I have struggled with. Most of the time I can not ask people for help but I also found that asking other people for help reduces your effort a great deal. It builds trust.

I do self talk all the time and it really helps clearing my concepts. We can develop a growth mindset my implementing these five tips and making a part of our lives starting today. We can start with one point and then evaluate how it has changed our life then we can gradually implement all the tips.

Today I want to talk about Amal totkay which help us to develop a growth mindset. First of all I want to share Amal totkay which are:

Self-talk: In this we have to talk with ourselves by sitting in a separate place and talk about our goals and what can we do to achieve it. When we talk with ourselves we get a lot of self motivation and make our mind growing by saying that if others can do it you can also do it.

Get out of comfort zone: In this we have to challenge ourselves that this is a situation which is difficult but not impossible and try our best to solve that situation which will help us a lot to think deeply and grow our mindset.

Create new habits: in this you have to create new habits which are very useful for you and help you to change and grow your mind and also write daily learning so that you can easily assess what you have learnt each day.

Ask people help: In this make a solution or just start your work and then ask the people which you know will help you genuinely and then make your work more effective.

Fake it till you make it: In this we have to fake the things which we are learning daily and it help us a lot to increase our competency and confidence.

Now, after observing all the Amal totkay which are very helpful to make our mind grow I want to share about my personal favourite totka is self talk because by self talk we can give ourselves motivation to start working on it and also tells ourselves which strategies are required to make the work successful and also reach it to extra mile.

I started implementing already is self talk and ask people help and open my mind to seek help from my dearest people to make my work better because we clearly know that ek or ek gyara concept.

The 5 basic totkay of Amal are great to start your development and pursue growing mindsets. These totakas are the steps to start positive progress in ourselves and in our lives.

From Amal totkay I have found many good points like firstly I have to explore what kind of mindset I already have and then work on it whether I have a fixed or growth mindset and then to change or to further develop my thinking.

I have to work on getting out of my comfort zone and put myself in challenging situations so that I can polish my skills and my personality. Trying to indulge myself into more positive activities and if I need help I ask from relevant people and make progress.

Also if I don’t know or am not good at something I have to believe in myself and keep trying and then ultimately I get good command of it rather than staying inside and thinking I can’t do this.

My most favourite totka is talk to yourself and fake it until you make it. By talking to myself I can figure out my interests and my strengths and my weaknesses and I can figure out in which areas I have to work more to develop myself.

started working on talking to myself as it’s my favourite thing to do but now I’ll try to talk to me on myself that what things bothers me, what are good things in me and what are bad, which things I have to omit from myself and what I have to adopt to develop growing mindset or to polish my mindset.

From fake it till you make it I started believing in myself more and I started putting more efforts in completing my assigned tasks so that my impossibles could change into possibles.

My favorite tip

My favorite tip is Talk to yourself.

These totkas Will be helpful in my future and specially in my mind growth. Thank you so much Amal for providing us with these tips. I’ll implement these all Amal Totkas in my life . InshaaAllah!
