Totka is an Urdu language word. It means a joint situation solution. We use totka where we don’t have proper access or solution for any problem. Tokta is also used when we need smart jumps in our work or daily routine life. It is used worldwide with some restrictions and it creates innovations with logic. Totka is generated with one’s present and innovative mindset.

We use different totky at home and work place. Some of totkys are really helpful and added as a lesson in our dictionary. Some examples of totkas, gifted by Amal Academy are discussed below;

1-Self Talk

2-Get out of Your Comfort Zone

3-Create New Habits

4-Ask people help

5-Fake it till you make it

1-Self Talk:

Self-talk is internal language. It is influenced by our subconscious mind and reveals our thoughts, beliefs, ideas, and questions. Self-talk may be positive or negative, depends on the situation in which you are. It can encourage you if you are optimistic. Through this process of self-talk, one’s can improve and make better him/herself. Through this internal monologue, you can achieve what you decided once like “I can do it”, “It doesn’t matter if I make a mistake”, “I’m enough good” etc. Once I got a challenge from my school teacher to complete my Mathematics solution in one night and I did it and achieve it. That was the result of self-talk, I spoke to myself that, “I can do” and I did it.

2-Get out of Your Comfort Zone:

A Comfort zone means an area of your mind where you stick and do nothing progress. It is the situation or circle where your mind, accepts nothing to change. Getting out of your comfort zone from time to time makes you enough able to deal with stress cramps and boost up your ideas and creativity level. It helps you and teaches you to face the sudden changes that happen in life. I always break my comfort zone just to experience the difficulties of life and to make myself more strong.

“You never change your life until you step out of your comfort zone; change begins at the end of your comfort zone.”

3-Create New Habits:

Our habits change within the time frame. These are maybe positive or negative. Positives changes reflect the personality and are admired by others. It depends on what type of environment we are facing and the habits we are developing. A habit may be triggered by a goal initially and later goal becomes less necessary and the habit becomes more automatic. I started in 2018 to develop the book reading habit and work on it for 1 year and now I got it in my routine.

First forget inspiration. Habit is more dependable. Habit will sustain you whether you’re inspired or not.

4-Ask people help:

“Dare to ask questions. There are answers to any question.”

Asking for help allows us to surround ourselves with people who can make us feel good and provide an environment to facilitate further development. Never be afraid of asking for help. Here, I’ll suggest that it should be our last step when we are working and face a difficulty. Once I was cooking something at home and I didn’t know how much water has to add in rice then I call to one of my fellows and asked her.

5-Fake it till you make it:

It is an English aphorism, and like a situation where one limits his/her confidence, competence, and optimistic mindset. It is not a negative one because sometimes one’s likes to explore after winning or achieving their milestone. Face the difficulties bravely and do what you want to do.

“To get what you wanted in life, you must inspire trust — even if you intended to break it.” …

Favorite Tips:

Self-talk and Fake it until you make it are my favorite tips. Self-talking is my old and daily practice habit but I think there is need to make a habit of fake until I make it. It’ll provide me more better and productive environment out of my comfort zone.
