#introduceyourself - MY STORY- selfhelpvikram is my name, changing lives is my game! Is Steemit my home?

Hello Steemians, steemitians or however else you like to be called!

My name is Vikram from India and I’m super excited to join the @steemit community and tell my story.

WHY AM I HERE?

I have a BIG PLAN for 2018, which is to positively affect the lives of others and leave them feeling empowered.

In many ways, it feels like a birthday celebration, because I feel that steemit is the place for me! I also believe that I will find like minded individuals here.

WHY DO I DO WHAT I DO?

MY STORY- Born in Germany to an Indian family and raised completely in India, I did not have it easy growing up. I did not like who I was. Though I was a talented swimmer with a lot of promise, I was a poor study which was a huge let-down, because it always came in the way of doing what I wanted to do (in India, studies ALWAYS come first). After I quit swimming, I took up table tennis (because I was jealous of my friends beating me, hehe). I enjoyed it and played competitively too, raking in multiple titles later on.

Sadly, my parents went their separate ways when I was 15, and I was devastated, my academic performance took a nosedive and I ended up failing the 11th grade. I was at my lowest of lows, no friends, no desire to make something of myself, I did not know where I was going with my life. I have a VERY SUPPORTIVE mother, who has been my rock and my guide. It was because of her, that I found it within myself to overcome the situation. It took a few years, but I began to grow, pursued my passions like playing the guitar through which I express myself, made a whole bunch of friends and much more. I loved what I was doing and became a more positive, better version of former myself.

I have found purpose in helping others. And now, armed with my knowledge of psychology, that I have gained through study and experience, I want to play the role of a guiding light in your life. I want to help you achieve the best version of yourself, and attain Self- Actualization. Read about it here: https://positivepsychologyprogram.com/self-actualization/

WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING?

Over the last year, I've been making videos on Youtube on a variety of topics pertinent to psychology, self-help, sex, motivation and more. The response that I received and feeling that I'm making a difference in someone's life was heartwarming!

Here's my channel : https://www.youtube.com/c/SelfHelpYourself

WHAT DO I TEACH?

My goal is to teach you the importance of physical, mental and spiritual health. Additionally I provide realistic strategies grounded in psychology (and Yeah, if you haven't guessed it yet, I'm a psychologist)designed to enhance your personality and assist you in reaching your goals.

As my logo suggests, I do this through
EDUCATION- Explaining the reasons why we behave a certain way and how we can improve our learning and understanding about ourselves to better our own lives.
MOTIVATION- Feel and stay motivated about who we are, our passions, our desires until we attain our dreams.
EXECUTION- Find real-world, effective strategies that actually work and produce results in achieving almost anything we want for ourselves.
