You're Not Stuck That Way - Nat Eliason
Past Deciding The Future
We let our knowledge and experiences of the past project into our future, by making concrete predictions that this or that cannot happen due to what happened in the past.
But life is constant...
Learned Helplessness
This is a mental state where, as a result of a certain bad experience, we believe that we can’t do anything about a certain problem.
Negative Motivation

“At some point, I will retire — and that terrifies me”
Terrified Of Retirement
Many people get identified with their work to such an extent that retirement feels like a big question mark on what will happen to them once they are ‘released’ from what they did their whole life....
Emotional Aspects of Retirement
One can start to adjust to retirement and the psychological/emotional aspects of it by planning for this.
Make two lists:
- There are many aspects of a job that we would miss after we retire. One has to make a list of those aspects which are meaningful to us, or from which we derive maximum fulfilment.
- Secondly, one can make a list of the minor roles that one liked doing, and would like to expand upon, like gardening, or mentoring juniors.
Visualise an Ideal Day Of Retirement
Big life changes always come with uncertainty, but one has to understand that change is a part of life, which is always in a state of flux.
One can ease the transition to retirement by visualizing a day when one is free from the job and has the time to do the enjoyable stuff one cannot do right now.

The Psychological Concept of 'Self-Signaling'
Your body takes cues about your own identity based on your actions. Your mind is always watching what you do and you can change your mind with new behaviors; not the reverse.
Once you act differently, your mind will take notice and it will actually change your self-image.
