The art of beating depression
Life after the beginning
Once you have decided to begin a new, now it is time to focus on what you want. Want seems like a selfish word, but it is the key to living a full life. Human beings have to have three things in order to live. - Goal
- Reward for getting the goal.
- Punishment for missing the goal.
It’s the universal law of man that we have to have a purpose. We have free will, so we choose our goals. A goal usually has some reward when achieved. It can be a new car, a better job, or the perfect soul mate. No matter what goal we choose, there has to be a reward and a punishment. Generally those things come with reward and punishment but you can make it more fun by setting rewards and punishments yourself. Let’s say I want to get an A in a college class. I would set my reward as a new computer for myself. Then I set the punishment as giving away my television to good will. Now I don’t want to loose my tv so I am going to make sure to hit my goal. Not only that, but I can get a new laptop for myself if I do it. Now I have a purpose and a goal. It can be as rewarding as I make it. I don’t want to miss it because it will cost me. So now I have motivation to do the work and get the A. You can use this technique with your children too. It works great.
