35 Positive Affirmations For Artists & Creative Thinkers

Confidence plays a tricky roles in intuition management and prompt decision. Without it, indecisive attitude as well as animosity and envy arise, bring out negative mental effects

Is It Always Worth Concerning

Unfixed standards here means they can fluctuate, up and down. In the process of forging ahead with your OWN discipline, own ability and capacity, setting the pace to follow does more good than harm; however, along with your goals, your standards must be fixed. Life is no chasing game but a power tester

I Tried...but Keep Impose Myself On Unfixed Standards

"Tread water" is a simple phrase expressing a maze stuck by almost all teenagers. Wanna be fit in 1 day, wanna outperform friends with one text,..When ambition arises, its crucial to keep your feet on the ground, persistent and work in earnest. Time pressure does urgently boost your productivity but let mind and soul feel their own beats when catching up new knowledge "bear more fruit". Time is always there waiting for you, not you are the one waiting for time

Tread Water..Im Running Out Of Time 🕑

We've talked about tread water and fixed standards. Now to make it clear, our world are all circling around in peer pressure. It is the notion that you CAN'T overcome your friends, your family members that limit your ability and positive energy. Along with those pressure, trust issue comes. How many of you believe in your ability? Who welcome disaster with a smile and consider drawbacks as challenges? Trust issue grows in ourselves nothing more, nothing less

Peer Pressure, Trust Issue: A Recipe For Disaster

Opinions tend to side with extroverts' confidence, what about introverts one? Introverts aren't lack of confidence at all, they're more inclined to close up and hide their innerself. It is worth remembering that confidence as well as accomplishment lies in every minds. Positive thinking and wish to explore open doors to flourishment

Introverts And Extroverts

Activities recommneded:<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Physical exercise (help stimulate moody hormones)</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Meditation (calm down, release inner-self trust)</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Sharing thoughts</li><li class="ql-align-justify">....</li></ul>Most importantly, if it is your true ability that concerns your confidence, it's time to bring out the better. Spend time self studying and brushing up skills such as communication and reading, practice makes perfect!

Are you confidence?

We think that, people who have achieved a lot in their lives are very motivated and so on.But, that's not the case those achievers have build habits which they follow on daily basis which helped them to be an achiever. Well, the ways to build habits to make your life more productive and to customise your autopilot mode are as follows:-

Why we need to build habits?

Whenever you are trying to build a habit, you say to yourself that u will meditate everyday which is abstract.Try saying yourself "i'll mediate 10 mins everyday".This helps to get you started and you can see your progress effortlessly.

1. Set a specific goal

Scientists have proven that you’ll make more progress toward your goal if you decide not just what you’ll do, but when you’ll be cued to do it, as well as where you’ll do it and how you’ll get there.Make your habit more detailed for example:-"i have to hit the gym everyday 5 days a week" instead say "i will hit the gym after my last meeting, every 5 days a week".

2. Create a detailed, cue-based plan

You need make your habit fun.For example:- if you are going for Zumba classes try going with a friend.Because you are far more likely to stick with something you enjoy and <a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.3982/ECTA7416">repetition</a> is key to habit formation, making the experience positive is <a href="https://muse.jhu.edu/article/634510">critical</a>, but it’s often overlooked.

3. Make it fun to repeat

Successful habit building relies on<a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.3982/ECTA7416"> frequently repeating a behaviour</a>, and if your routine becomes too brittle, you’ll follow through less often. A flexible habit means you can still do what you need to even when a wrench is thrown in your first best plans – say, a traffic jam on the way to dropping the kids off at school that gets in the way of your morning meditation.

4. Foster flexibility

This idea is mostly overlooked, but it is crucial to have some people around you who help you achieve your habits and your goals. Joining a running club than asking a few friends who aren’t yet in the habit of jogging to get in shape with you. People in the running club have already built the habits you want. You can learn from them about what works and gain friends who will make you feel like a slouch when you slack off.

5. Find the right kind of social support

5 steps to create a habit, according to science

What sets apart some of the most successful people you know? Some might answer this question with various skills or even luck. I would say it is knowing how to dream big. But how do you learn to ignore all of the doubts or fears that can cause you to ignore what it is you really want? You’ve got to shift your mindset from one that focuses too much on the how and not enough on the what.

How To Shift Your Mindset

When I say this, I don’t mean it just as a passing thought. I mean really take the time to clear your schedule, sit down, and envision what you want out of life. What do you want from your career? Where do you see yourself in the next five years? The next decade? How do you picture your personal life?I have used the strategy throughout my career, and it has allowed me to continue to grow and stretch myself along the way. It has also changed over time. As I have encountered various obstacles and challenges along the way, the vision of what I would consider a successful life has also adapted.

Imagine The Life You Want

It’s amazing the commitment that can come from the simple act of writing down your dreams. In doing so, you help to really define your vision. It goes from an abstract idea to a concrete description of what you want. Not only that. Writing down your big ideas also gives you something tangible to look back on and motivates you. Thinking big will mean that you will encounter challenges. Any dream that stretches you outside of your comfort zone is challenging. A written list of what you want will help you stay on the path to achieving it.

Write It Down

This can be a hard step for many of us, myself included. When it comes to thinking big though you have to understand just exactly what is at stake. Think through what your life will look like if you don’t live out your vision. What would the consequences be? What would it mean for your life, your coworkers, and your family? Now compare that to what will happen if you are able to achieve your dream. This step is critical to understanding the heart of what is behind your vision. It will keep you motivated when the temptation comes along to settle for less.

Define What Is At Stake

Once you have created a vision for your future, the next step is to think through what you need to achieve to help set you up to achieve it. When you are thinking big, you have to define the path you believe will best get you to where you want to go. Create a timeline for yourself with goals to achieve each year to help you accomplish your dream. It doesn’t stop there. Thinking big requires clear actionable goals along the way. But before you can create your goals, you have to know what your dream is for your life.

Break Down Your Vision Into Actionable Steps

Achieve More Than You Thought Possible in 2023 By Focusing On Thinking Big

If thinking big doesn’t come naturally to you, you are not alone. But this mindset can be learned. I want to encourage you to use these strategies to help unlock the dreams you have and use it to create a clear vision as you move into a new year.

Achieve More Than You Thought Possible in 2023 | Full Focus

Productivity leads you to more work done. Being consistent and more productive will lead you to success. Staying productive in this generation could be a challenge because tons of distractions are in the way. At any given time there are seemthings fighting for your attention. If you’re a productive person, you can do more with less time. That means you can take on harder, more important tasks. It also means that you have more time to do the things you enjoy like hobbies or spending time with friends.

Most Essential Stoic Habits For Productivity 

“People are frugal in guarding their personal property, but as soon as it comes to squandering time they are most wasteful of the one thing in which it is right to be stingy.” “Time is money” -Benjamin Franklin told us that earlier. We could not buy it again. If we use it in the right manner it will lead us to success.

1) TAKE CARE OF YOUR TIME

Planning your time can make us more productive every day and help us achieve our goals in life. So take control of your time; do not let it control you! The value of time is something that everyone understands. Time is a precious commodity that we all have an equal amount of, and it is something that should not be wasted. How can you apply the stoic rule for time management : Block out your day in the schedule.Stop feeling obligated to say ‘yes’ to everyone.

Minimalism allows us to focus on our priorities. “By maintaining a clutter-free environment, you’re able to increase focus and productivity thus reducing stress”. “Until we have begun to go without them, we fail to realize how unnecessary many things are” Being a minimalist means you value yourself more than material things. It means making decisions based on what you need instead of getting everything you want. It does not mean the things you buy are cheap. It means they are something you need, regardless of how much they cost.

PRACTICE MINIMALISM 

<ul><li>Decluttering helps people breathe.</li><li>Minimalism allows for refocusing.</li><li>Less stuff equals more money.</li><li>You have more time.</li><li>You have more energy.</li></ul>How can you apply the stoic rule for being minimalistic :<ul><li>Begin with One Aspect of Your Life.</li><li>Determine Necessities.</li><li>Get Rid of Excess Clutter.</li><li>Reduce Technology Usage.</li><li>Prioritise Relationships.</li><li>Make a Budget..</li></ul>

Benefits of being minimalist 

Solitude is an essential component of your health and well-being. Being alone is what bears great ideas. People look for retreats, in the country, by the coast, or in the hills. There is nowhere that a person can find a more peaceful retreat than in his mind.” Being alone and feeling lonely are two completely different things, however. Many people feel lonely even when they’re in a crowded room. And some people spend lots of time alone without ever actually feeling lonely

PRACTICE SOLITUDE 

In fact, building more solitude in your daily life might reduce your feelings of loneliness. Solitary skills take practice if you’re not used to being alone, but over time, you can grow more comfortable with being by yourself. How can you apply the stoic rule for Solitude : <ul><li>Daily mindfulness practice.</li><li>Schedule time away from social media.</li><li>Eliminate distractions while working.</li></ul>

These are the top habits everyone should apply in their daily life.

3 stoic rules for productivity. 

<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22669010-a-curious-mind">A Curious Mind </a>is an homage to the power of asking questions, showing you how being curious can change your entire life, from the way you do business, to how you interact with your loved ones, or even shape your country.

A Curious Mind - Book 

"Life isn't about finding the answers, it's about asking the questions."-Brian Grazer

Author Quote

When I say <a href="http://www.grazeriscurious.com/">Brian Grazer </a>, does that ring a bell? It didn’t for me at first, I have to admit. Maybe the title of this book reminds you of something. A Curious Mind. No? A Beautiful Mind maybe? You know, the movie about the brilliance of economics Nobel prize winner John Nash, who invented the field of game theory, but suffered from severe schizophrenia? The one that won the Academy Award for Best Picture, and three others?

Yup, Brian Grazer produced that. He also produced movies like 8 Mile, Frost/Nixon, Apollo 13 and the world-famous TV show 24, starring Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer. In 2015, Brian asked himself what the root of his success was. He determined that the answer was curiosity. To share how it’s shaped his life in ways he’d never imagined, and how it can potentially transform yours, he co-wrote <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22669010-a-curious-mind">A Curious Mind </a> with journalist Charles Fishman.

<ol><li>In business, whoever is the most curious, wins. </li><li>Everyone loves being asked questions and that includes the people closest to you. </li><li>Sometimes you gotta know when to stop asking and start doing. </li> </ol>

Top 3 Lessons From The Book 

Most people will tell you that business is hard. That it’s competitive. That you have to get your elbows out, toughen up, and try to overtake whoever’s in front of you. But that’s not true. You can take a much more cooperative approach, one that’s <a href="http://fourminutebooks.com/first-things-first-summary/">based on collaboration, not competition </a>, and still win. In fact, Brian Grazer would probably say: Whoever’s the most curious, wins . Curiosity not only fosters cooperation, but also connection.

Lesson 1: A rule of business is that whoever’s the most curious

If you’re genuinely curious about your employees’ lives, you’ll ask them questions accordingly. This way, Brian leads mostly by asking questions, instead of giving orders. Vice versa, his employees are supposed to ask him many questions also! When you’re curious, people can explain and reflect on their work themselves. This kind of meaningful conversation leads to bigger and better breakthroughs than a mere “do this now” approach.

The same holds true for your customers. Who would you rather buy a car from? The dealer who just touts his latest offers and how great the cars are, or someone who asks you why you want to buy a car, what you need it for, where you’ll go with it, and what you’re looking for? The only way to satisfy your customer is to find out exactly what they want in each case and then serve them the best way you can – and you can’t do that without being curious.

I recently thought about how much I know about my parents’ childhoods. As it turns out, it’s not too much. Sure, I know where they went to school and a couple big milestones, but teenage life is long – there’s so much I still have to ask them! Think about someone you’ve known most or all of your life. How much do you really know about them? Chances are there’s still tons left to discover. By showing interest, you can improve your relationships even with the best of your friends and loved ones .

Lesson 2: Everyone loves being asked and answering questions

Most couples eventually fall into a rut. “Hey, how was your day?” “Good, good.” …and then TV takes over. Saving a deteriorating relationship from falling apart can be as simple as remembering one specific thing your partner told you and then asking them about it. “Hey, how’d the presentation go today? Were you nervous?” shows you remember and are curious about how their story evolves.

Similarly, questions make you much better at <a href="http://fourminutebooks.com/how-to-win-friends-and-influence-people-summary/">connecting with people </a>. Everyone loves being asked questions and to talk about themselves , so instead of rambling about yourself at the next party, start asking new people all about their story. Where did you grow up? What do you do for a living? How do you like it? As in business, so in life: curiosity connects.

Being curious is a great mode to be in 90% of the time. But sometimes, it’s time to flip the switch and become anti-curious for a while. For example, after Brian Grazer had the idea for the TV show 24 from one of his many curiosity conversations (weekly meetings with professionals from all kinds of fields), he had to switch and commit to now bringing the show to life.

Lesson 3: When it’s time to stop asking and start doing

Similarly, his expertise in the film industry now tells him when he’s found a movie that deserves to be made – even if it’s not going to be a mass hit. Frost/Nixon and Rush are great examples of such movies. They were well written, and the stories of the post-Watergate Nixon interviews and Niki Lauda and James Hunt’s Formula One rivalry in the 70s deserved to be told. So Brian went ahead and made them, ignoring what people told him.

He had to tone down his curiosity for a while, but in the end both movies got a lot of critical acclaim, in spite of not being commercial successes. The only way to create something of value is to ignore new ideas every now and then – it’s up to you to know when that is .

<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22669010-a-curious-mind">A Curious Mind </a> is a wonderful angle at business and life, if you ask me. It’s predicated on fun, being open-minded and preserving your sense of childhood curiosity. Seems to me like a much more sustainable approach than “work is hard, life is hard, you gotta be tough.” Never stop answering questions. Great book!

A Curious Mind Summary

Journaling is the practice of keeping a written record of your thoughts, feelings, and experiences on a regular basis. It involves writing down your innermost thoughts and emotions, either in a physical notebook or a digital platform, as a way to process your feelings and gain insights into yourself.

What is Journaling?

There are many different approaches to journaling, and it can be done in various ways such as free-writing, <a href="https://amzn.to/3lGgdy4">bullet journaling</a>, gratitude journaling, or specific prompts. The goal of journaling is to create a safe and private space to explore your thoughts and emotions, and to build self-awareness and emotional resilience.

1.   Reducing stress and anxiety: Journaling can help you identify and process your emotions, which can reduce feelings of stress and anxiety. 2.  Improving mood: Reflecting on positive experiences and emotions can help individuals cultivate a more positive outlook and improve their mood.3.   Enhancing creativity: Journaling can help you tap into your creative side by providing a space to explore new ideas, thoughts, and feelings.

What are the benefits of Journaling?

4.   Building self-awareness: By reflecting on your thoughts and experiences, you can gain a better understanding of yourself and your values, which can lead to personal growth.5.   Boosting self-esteem: Celebrating your accomplishments and writing about your strengths and positive qualities can help build self-esteem and confidence.

Free-Writing: In this type of journaling, you simply write down whatever comes to mind without worrying about grammar or structure. This can be a helpful way to release pent-up emotions and thoughts.Gratitude Journaling: This type of journaling involves writing down things you are grateful for each day, which can help you cultivate a more positive outlook and focus on the good in your life.Reflective Journaling: This type of journaling involves reflecting on your experiences and emotions, and can help you gain insight into your thoughts and behaviors.

Types of Journaling

Bullet Journaling: This type of journaling involves creating lists, tracking habits and goals, and using symbols to organize information. It can be a helpful way to stay organized and focused.Travel Journaling: This type of journaling involves documenting your experiences and observations while traveling, and can be a way to preserve memories and reflect on cultural differences.

1. Choose a journal: Consider what type of journal you prefer (physical or digital) and what kind of journaling you want to do. There are many journals available on the market with different features, prompts, and designs.2. Set aside time: Choose a regular time each day or week to journal, and make it a consistent habit. This could be first thing in the morning, at lunchtime, or before bed.

How to Start Journaling

3. Decide on your journaling style: Choose a type of journaling that resonates with you, whether it's free-writing, gratitude journaling, or another style. You can also experiment with different styles to find what works best for you.4. Write regularly: Aim to write regularly, even if it's just a few sentences or a brief note. This will help you build a habit and make journaling a part of your routine.

5. Start with a prompt: If you're not sure what to write about, start with a prompt such as "Today I'm grateful for..." or "Something that made me happy today was...". This can help jumpstart your writing and get you into the flow.

And finally, Journaling can be a powerful tool for improving mental health and well-being. By providing a safe and non-judgemental space to process emotions and experiences, journaling can help individuals reduce stress and anxiety, improve mood, increase self-awareness, and develop resilience and coping skills. To get the most out of journaling, make it a consistent habit, write without judgement, and choose a journaling style that resonates with you.

Conclusion 

Everything you need to know about Journaling

If we really want to understand artificial intelligence’s power, promise, and peril, we first need to understand the difference between intelligence as it is generally understood and the kind of intelligence we are building now with AI. That is important, because the kind we are building now is really the only kind we know how to build at all — and it is nothing like our own intelligence.

The Intelligence We Build

Despite significant progress in artificial intelligence (AI) research and development, there remains a gap between the potential of AI and the reality of what has been delivered.
While early AI researchers sought to emulate human thinking, modern AI is based on machine learning, which uses statistical methods to build associations from data.
Nonetheless, the recent combination of powerful computing and algorithmic advances has led to breakthroughs in natural language recognition, such as ChatGPT, and renewed optimism about the potential of AI.

The gap in AI delivery

Through much of the field’s early years, AI researchers tried to understand how thinking happened in humans, then use this understanding to emulate it in machines. This meant exploring how the human mind reasons or builds abstractions from its experience of the world. An important focus was natural language recognition, meaning the ability for a computer to understand words and their combinations (syntax, grammar, and meaning), allowing them to interact naturally with humans.

A Computer That Could Talk Like A Human

Over the years, AI went through cycles of optimism and pessimism — these have been called AI “summers” and “winters” — as remarkable periods of progress stalled out for a decade or more. Now we are clearly in an AI summer. A combination of mind-boggling computing power and algorithmic advances combined to bring us a tool like ChatGPT. But if we look back, we can see a considerable gap between what many hoped AI would mean and the kind of artificial intelligence that has been delivered. The mighty ChatGPT, some argue, is nothing but “autocomplete on steroids”.

The Gap In AI Delivery

Modern versions of AI are based on what is called machine learning. These are algorithms that use sophisticated statistical methods to build associations based on some training set of data fed to them by humans. If you have ever solved one of those reCAPTCHA “find the crosswalk” tests, you have helped create and train some machine learning program. Machine learning sometimes involves deep learning, where algorithms represent stacked layers of networks, each one working on a different aspect of building the associations.

Algorithms, Statistics And Data

Machine learning is a remarkable achievement in computer science, but it relies on statistical models that use enormous amounts of data to find patterns and make predictions.
While machines have become increasingly proficient at these tasks, they lack the complexity and nuance of human intelligence. Thus, while we should celebrate the accomplishments of AI, we should also acknowledge its limitations and recognize that true machine intelligence may remain beyond our reach for some time.

The Limits of Machine Intelligence

In this way our AI wonder-machines are really prediction machines whose prowess comes out of the statistics gleaned from the training sets. (While this is oversimplifying the wide range of machine learning algorithms, the gist here is correct.) This view does not diminish in any way the achievements of the AI community, but it underscores how little this kind of intelligence (if it should be called such) resembles our intelligence.

The Artificial Intelligence: Prediction 

Human minds are so much more than prediction machines. What really makes human beings so potent is our ability to discern causes. We do not just apply past circumstances to our current circumstance — we can reason about the causes that lay behind the past circumstance and generalize it to any new situation. It is this flexibility that makes our intelligence “general” and leaves the prediction machines of machine learning looking like they are narrowly focused, brittle, and prone to dangerous mistakes.

The Real Intelligence: General Intelligence

One of the most interesting aspects of machine learning is how opaque it can be. Often it is not clear at all why the algorithms make the decisions they do, even if those decisions turn out to solve the problems the machines were tasked with. This occurs because machine learning methods rely on blind explorations of the statistical distinctions between, say, useful email and spam that live in some vast database of emails. But the kind of reasoning we use to solve a problem usually involves a logic of association that can be clearly explained. Human reasoning is never blind.

Intelligence Is Not Opaque

That difference is the difference that matters. Early AI researchers hoped to build machines that emulated the human mind. They hoped to build machines that thought like people. That is not what happened. Instead, we have learned to build machines that don’t really reason at all. They associate, and that is very different. That difference is why approaches rooted in machine learning never produce the kind of General Artificial Intelligence the founders of the field were hoping for.

Reasoning And Associating: Not The Same Thing At All

That difference may also be why the greatest danger from AI won’t be a machine that wakes up, becomes self-conscious, and then decides to enslave us. Instead, by misidentifying what we have built as actual intelligence, we pose the real danger to ourselves. By building these systems into our society in ways we cannot escape, we may force ourselves to conform to what they can do, rather than discover what we are capable of.

The Real Danger: Misidentifying Intelligence 

Machine learning is coming of age, and it is a remarkable and even beautiful thing. But we should not mistake it for intelligence, lest we fail to understand our own.

The initial goal of AI was to create machines that think like humans. But that is not what happened at all.

Three Critical Steps To Learning

<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27037565-21-days-to-a-big-idea">21 Days To A Big Idea </a>shows you how to combine the creative and rational sides of your brain to come up with cool, new ideas and fun ways to implement them, which might even help you create a sustainable business in the long run, in as little as 21 days.

21 Days To A Big Idea - Book Summary 

"In the scheme of things, the time spent upfront in the idea-generation phase is so minor compared to the time needed to develop that idea."-Byan Mattimore

The line is really thin. The one between too many and too few ideas, I mean. Most of the people fall into one category, or the other. They either think they have way too many ideas (like me) and can never possibly execute all of them. Or they believe they have absolutely no good ones and can’t come up with anything creative at all. Nobody says: “Yeah, I’ve got a few good ideas every now and then, just enough when I need them!” It’s always one or the other.

Book Overview 

This 21 Days To A Big Idea summary shows you how to be creative like a kid, why a new idea only takes 30 seconds & how to reality-proof it.
