This week wasn\u2019t a great one. I was dealing with a headache on most of the days. But the best part was going for a farewell treat of a friend which helped me relax a bit.<\/span>

Review of Week 13<\/span><\/h2>\n

 
\n1.Book of the week: The power of intention<\/a><\/b>
\n 
\nI was not able to complete it since I had to read other books too for writing my book. But if there is one new thing I learnt from this book is – Intention is a feeling which will tell you what to pursue and what to leave. This one sentence is different from the concepts I read from every other book on positive thinking.<\/span>
\n 
\n2.Course of the week: Positive Psychology – Resilience Skills<\/b>
\n 
\nI thoroughly enjoyed the course. Even though a few topics (cognitive distortions and gratitude) were already known to me, the way course was presented and the part on strengthening relationships was amazing.<\/span>
\n 
\n3.Habit of the Week: Fear tracker<\/b>
\n 
\nA lot of my fears are something which I don\u2019t know how to face them right now. But I believe that when time comes, I would have become strong enough to face them. <\/span>
\n 
\n4.Write book<\/b>
\n 
\nI wrote a bit more than 1000 words on a few days. I am happy with the progress I have been making.<\/span>
\n <\/p>\n

Challenges for Week 14<\/span><\/h2>\n

 
\n1.Book of the week: <\/b>
\n 
\nI don\u2019t have any particular book in my mind. I will need to read different chapters from different books for gaining some knowledge to write for my book. So I don\u2019t want to pressurize myself with sticking to the completion of a single book.<\/span>
\n 
\n2.Course of the week: Science of happiness<\/b>
\n 
\nThere is another course on positive psychology on coursera but the syllabus does not seem that interesting for me at this point. Instead, I want to move to edx to do the course on happiness.<\/span>
\n 
\n3.Habit of the Week: Rate my activities<\/b>
\n 
\nI had been trying a lot of different things in past 3 months but I am not sure about the amount of happiness I have been deriving from them. So at the end of the day, I am going to rate the activities on a scale of 1-10 ( 1 being lowest and 10 being highest) under headings happiness, growth, pain.<\/span>
\nFor example, Writing is the task and it gives me happiness of rating 5. The rating and the heading might differ for the same task tomorrow. <\/span>
\n 
\n4.Write book<\/b>
\n 
\nI need to increase the number of words per day to 1500 now to close the writing part of the book by next week. A lot of time will go in editing and rewriting.<\/span>
\n 
\nThat is all for the next week.<\/span>
\n 
\nHow was your week 13? What are your plans for week 14? Let us know in the comments section.<\/span>
\n 
\nHappy Week 14!<\/span>
