Few days back, we had our routine training sessions regarding ‘Motivation and Time Management’. (They think that we would start working after these sessions). Like other organization, it is the usual practice here. 

 The time management session was typically boring and bookish session. I took interest in exercises only. Second session was all about motivation. It was the most interesting session we ever had. We watched ‘Finding Nemo’ (which I watched three times) and then the fascinating quiz regarding plot of the film. As everyone knows Finding Nemo is all about motivation and courage. It made the session quite interesting. I must say the guys know how to capture our interest in training program. 

The Point, which I want to discuss here, is about the exercises that they recommended for self improvement and motivation. I am not at all a psychological student, so some points were new for me. One of these exercises, which they have recommended, was Self Talk. They emphasized the need to fix some time in which we should

“stand in front of a mirror,

see straight in your eyes,

and say: ‘I am the most beautiful and intelligent person in the world. I can do what others cannot. I am hard working, sincere, graceful and a loveable person and everyone likes me’”. 

The house started hahahahaha……..roaring laughters and laughters. People should not react like that. They are experts of their field. There must have some sound grounds behind this ecstasy. Ok ok I was also laughing but not so loudly.  They presented different theories regarding this exercise which I dont remember yet. But in the end they made more than half of the house agreed thinking that it would actually be a healthy exercise. People promised to try it. 

 But I am still having some confusion in my mind. Does this euphoria keep us in reality? And when we know what the reality is, I think we would be in worst situation.  

What would you say? Is there any psychology student here who can share his theories with us?
