Motivational energy from achieving goals, dreams and desire fulfillment.Emotional energy from trust of friends and family.Intellectual energy from practicing mindfulness, experience and knowledge.Physical energy obtained from good sleep, exercise and recovery.

Energy- Feeling Of Capacity

You probably came across development and self help books which talk about motivation and life goals.If you are tired on physical level you don't have energy on emotional and intellectual challenges.

Things that are Important but not the Core.

Physical recovery is a science that nobody talks about, only professional athletes know how important it is.

Interlink Of Various Energy.

Think of your body as a car you used to move through life. It's the only guide you have you can't sell it to replace it. How far you get in life and how quickly you get there depends on how well you take care of your car.If you are not scheduling regular oil change and maintenance, you'll find yourself as disrepair.

Life Is Like The Only Car

1. Keep Moving: studies show we are better when we exercise. Without the movement the car rusts, similarly without moment you feel demotivated and exhausted.2. Take breaks: our bodies are not designed to work 8 hr straight. Take atleast 15mins break in an hr.3.Sleep: it s the absolute minimum you owe your body everyday. Its like daily energy recovery.4. Fuel: you can't put any fuel in your ka do you really think your body is okay with junk food and soda. So eat healthy conciously, not just for yourself but totake care of your brain and body.

Want To Avoid Breakdown

You need to give a chance to your body to recover.

If You Are Tired

Like you take your car to repair shop or wash.Remember recovery is active not passive. Lying on bed and watching tv won't nelp, pur body needs change. Take a walk in park, get a massage, go to yoga class, meditate.Find your way that suits you.Find a stress and energy measurements to track which energy recovery techniques suits you.

What Is The Best Way To Recover

Physical recovery is a science nobody talks about. Only professional athletes know how important it is. Time management may seem like the right solution when you can’t get everything you need done, but it won’t help if you’re exhausted. Energy is the feeling of capability.

Gratitude, in the simplest form, is a thankful appreciation for what one has. It is a positive state of mind that focuses on what we already have, rather than what is lacking in life. It is the awareness that life isn’t perfect and it doesn’t always go the way we want it to go; but from a realistic perspective, there are always some good things in life that we can appreciate.

What is gratitude and how can it help us?

It’s a part of our evolution. We generally tend to return to a certain baseline level of happiness despite major positive or negative events in life. We adapt to them. This concept is called “hedonic adaptation”, and it is essential for our survival.The downside of hedonic adaptation is that we also adapt to even the most wonderful things we have over time. Their subjective impact decreases over time, and we lose interest. There are many things in life that make our lives much better but eventually we don't even acknowledge their existence because we get used to them

So why do we need to practice gratitude? Why isn't it innate? 

That’s why we need to intentionally pay attention to the good things in life. In this way, we can reverse our adaptation, see the wonderful things as they are, and feel the power of gratitude. <a href="https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/pdfs/GratitudePDFs/3Froh-BlessingsEarlyAdolescence.pdf">Research </a>shows that the practice of gratitude can change subjective wellbeing. Even a small act like listing a few things we are grateful for has an incredibly powerful effect on our mental health. By paying attention to the things we are grateful for, we cultivate happiness, compassion, and kindness. By being grateful, we cultivate a better life.

Each day, take 5-10 minutes and list the 5 things you’re grateful for. You can write just a couple of words or some long sentences if you like. The content of what you write and the way you express yourself does not matter as long as you are mindful when you’re writing it. If you intentionally pay attention, you’ll feel the benefits more.You can add it to your daily routine, and either start or finish your day by listing those 5 things that make your life better. Within just a week, you will feel the difference in your outlook. Over time, being grateful will become a normal part of your life.

So how can we practice gratitude?

The reason it doesn’t come naturally to us is our adaptation. Although it's a vital part of our evolution, we adapt to even the most wonderful things and take them for granted. We can reverse it with a simple practice called negative visualization. Take a look around and try to imagine how different your life would be if you didn’t have the things or the people you love. You don’t have to think about extreme negative situations. Just think about how your day would be different without them and recognize their positive impact on your life.

Can’t come up with anything to be grateful for?

Practicing gratitude transforms your outlook upon life in overwhelming ways. Within just a couple of days, you will feel that noticing the good things will get easier. And over time, you will know in your heart that life is beautiful, no matter what happens.

What is gratitude and how can it help us? Gratitude, in the simplest form, is a thankful appreciation for what one has. It is a positive state of …

For many different people across the world, Music is one of the most integral parts of their day, myself included.Even as I am creating this, I have music playing in the background. Using observation, are we able to find convincing evidence that Music helps us focus and study more effectively?

Does Music Help You Study Better?

Before delving into the specifics, there are two general ideas to keep in the back of your head while we progress:<ol><li>Different types of music can have varying effects on study patterns (classical music effects differ from lyrical music effects).</li><li>Different songs, and subsequently different lyrics, can also affect studying patterns (if a lyric was very deep, it invokes a specific thought which could distract you from studying).</li></ol>

Background Information

In general, listening to Music has a plethora of different, positive effects on the human body. Some of these positive effects include:<ol><li>Reduction in stress</li><li>Alleviation of depression symptoms</li><li>Increases workout endurance</li><li>Elevation of Mood</li><li>Stimulation of Memories</li></ol>

The Positives of Music

Now for the main question: Does Music really help us study better? Yes and no.Music, depending on what it is that you are studying, can either help you or restrict you. For example, if you are trying to memorize certain terms for a biology class, having music in the background can be very helpful.However, if you were reading a novel or trying to interpret a specific text, having music in the background can end up being more of a distraction than a tool for success.

Effectiveness During Study

<ol><li>In 2011, there was a study regarding the effectiveness of background music that was performed with ADHD Students.</li></ol>The study revealed that although there were a couple of people that got distracted, the majority of the classroom was able to improve as a result of there being background music.<ol><li>In 2014, a study was conducted on young adults to measure whether classical music was able to help them perform better on memory-based tasks. </li></ol>The study did in fact reveal that by listening to classical music, there was a significant improvement in performance on these memory-based tasks.

Convincing Evidence?

Circling back to the Background Information, it should be noted that although music is seen to improve studying for groups of people OVERALL, that does not mean that it will help every single person.This means that you should try it for yourself! If you are able to focus on your work more easily as a result of background music playing in the background, then do it! Otherwise, make sure to create the most optimal work environment for yourself.However, with the majority in mind, there is convincing evidence to show that Music does help you study better.

Music is one of the most common necessities that many people would struggle to go without in their lives. The question we are exploring today is whether or not listening to Music helps study better.

You might have heard music improves concentration, but it’s not that simple. There are ways music and studying can work together, and some ways they can’t.

What basic principles of Adlerian-Psychology should be accepted by every Adlerian? Before we can answer this question we have to clarify: what is Adlerian Psychology? It is a science developed by Adler which attempts to understand and explain human behavior. Not all psychologists try to do this. As a student of psychology, on might be interested in testing or measuring, in animal experimentation in perfecting description of psychoses for the purpose of diagnosing mental illness. All of these approaches will not make you an Adlerian or exclude you from being one.

Adlerian Psychology  

Adlerian Psychology is interpretative; it is an endeavor to understand human behavior. There are other psychologies which, like that of Adler, are dynamic, depth psychologies. Principal among these ar the systems of Freud and Jung. However, Adler has developed his science in a direction essentially different from that of Freud and Jung Some of his principles are not exclusive to his psychology nor are they original with Adler. Similar ideas, in some instances, have been expressed either in philosophy centuries ago or even in psychology shortly before the publication of his chief works

It is rather the totality of Adler's principles, woven together into a workable system, which give a key to the understanding of human behavior and the possibility of altering it. This is his great contribution, and it is the acceptance of this system in totality which makes an Adlerian.In all fields where human behavior, either individually or in group is studied, as in psychology, anthropology, sociology, criminology psychiatry, or where efforts are made to alter behavior, as in education or psychotherapy, his system is applicable.

All principles of his system are interdependent; therefore, the following enumeration of such principles in numerical order is by necessity artificial.

1.  Life is directed movement. The moving force is the desire for survival, the goal is security. Life may be interpreted as a movement to compensate for inferiority feelings, as if one wanted to reach a point above from below, where one would be freed from all inferiority feelings.

2. The goal of security determines all our actions, but the concept of security differs in all individuals. This concept of security, or success, is formed in the early years of childhood, about the first five year of age, in accordance with the early experiences in the limited environment of the child.

It is then that the child forms his life plan or life pattern, which is a plan - his own unique creation - for getting along in such a world as he sees and has come to know. He sets his goal, which is his concept of security; he devises methods, choosing some and discarding others. It short, he develops his life style, which is his way of relating himself to life

His goal of security naturally can never be reached; it is not know to him consciously and could not be expressed by him verbally. This goal determines all expressions of his personality, his actions, feelings words, dreams, what he forgets, and what he remembers.

3.  All behavior is purposeful; we are not driven by a cause, but drawn by our goal, which, however, we were free to set in our childhood. Once the goal is set we are determined by it in all our action' as if "caught in an iron shirt."

4.  Adler calls his psychology "Individual Psychology," according to the Latin individere, "do not divide." The organism-as-a-whole acts and reacts always in totality, never only through one of its parts.

5. An individual's behavior can only be understood in relation to society. Here, his specific unique concept of security causes him to develop either cooperative or other methods in his effort to achieve success, based on his fictitious "private logic." Adler found that early recollections and dreams have a specific meaning to the individual and fit into his purposeful pattern of behavior.

6. Adler came to his discoveries from the observation of "abnormal behavior." Thus he found a new approach to psychopathology. Abnormal behavior, criminal actions, problem children, prostitution, sexual pathology, can be understood by the application of the above mentioned general principles.

7. Furthermore, an Adlerian also believes in the possibility of altering behavior; this alteration can be achieved by scientfic methods developed by Adler. An Alderian applies specific methods of education or psychotherapy in his respective field as teacher, parent, physician etc., based on a framework of general principles. They are essentially an attempt to recognize the goal of the individual, his life plan, the methods he uses to relate himself to life, and to give this knowledge to him. This understanding provides "insight.

It is an essentially Adlerian approach to encourage in order to change the patient's misconceptions of life which he formed in his early childhood. This enables him to give up his efforts to secure himself according to his private concepts and to accept a cooperative goal. Then he can learn to use cooperative methods. Adlerian therapy helps him develop his social feeling which we all have at birth but which, according to Adler, has to be developed.

8. An Adlerian is one who accepts Adler's principles of psychology of psychopathology, and uses his methods, applying his science in all fields of life for the welfare of the people.

Adlerian Psychology: 8 Basic Principles

Sadhguru: Eighty-seven percent of life forms on this planet – microbes, worms, insects, birds, animals, human beings, plants, trees, and every other vegetation on the planet is sustained by an average of thirty-nine inches of topsoil. And that is in grave danger right now. In the last forty years, forty percent of the world’s topsoil has been lost. The United Nations says we have soil left only for approximately eighty to hundred harvests, which means another forty-five to sixty years of agriculture.

Why Do We Need to Save the Soil?

After that, we will not have the soil to produce food. You can imagine the suffering that we will unfold in the world. Thirty percent of India’s land is already degraded, and 90% of India’s states are seeing soil turn to desert. That means nothing can be cultivated there. So, protecting the soil for the future generations of this land is the most important thing.

No Soil for Food Production:

I was speaking at one of the UN agencies in Germany, and they asked me, “What are the three things we need to do to prevent an ecological disaster?” I said, “The three things are, ‘Soil, Soil, and Soil.’” This is something that is not being looked at because it is fashionable in the cities to talk about air pollution. I am not saying it is not a concern, but if you take the necessary actions to fix the soil, that action will take care of the water also. Air pollution can be fixed in a short time if we are willing to sacrifice our economic exuberance a little.

How Can Soil Revitalization Help the Environment?

If you want to fix the soil that you have destroyed, it will take 15-25 years if you go at it aggressively. If you do it without much interest, it will take 40-50 years before you can get the soil to a certain level.If the soil is in a bad condition for that long, that means two to three generations will go through terrible states of life.

Time to Fix the Soil

<h1 class="ql-align-center">5 Methods of Soil Revitalization</h1>

In India, people have been tilling the same land for thousands of generations. But in the last generation, the soil quality has become so poor that it is on the verge of becoming a desert. If you want to preserve the soil, it means organic content has to go into it. But our trees have all been cut and millions of animals are being exported from the country. These are not animals, this is our topsoil going to some other country. When this happens, how will you replenish the soil? If there are no leaves or animal waste, you cannot put back anything.

1. Organic Content Builds Healthy Soil.

There is a national aspiration in India which has already been set by the old Planning Commission that thirty-three percent of India should be under the shade because if you want to preserve the soil, that is the only way. And I am trying to push for a law that if you own one hectare of land, you must compulsorily have a minimum of five bovine animals on the land. There is one fantastic thing about this land for which we have scientific data but no scientific reasoning yet.

Law for the Soil

If you go to a place in this country where the soil is good and take one cubic meter of this soil, it is said that there are approximately 10,000 species of life in that one cubic meter. This is the highest concentration of life found anywhere on this planet. We do not know why. So, this soil just needs a little support. If you give it that little support, it will bounce back quickly. But as a generation of people do we have the necessary brains to give that little support, or will we just sit around and watch it die? You cannot keep the soil rich with fertilizer and a tractor.

Species found in One Cubic Meter.

The term “forest produce” must go out of our vocabulary. There is no such thing as forest produce because there is not enough forest on this planet to harness it as produce. That is an era that has gone by. You cannot talk about forest produce in the future. We cannot create a new rainforest because that takes millennia of work. But we can definitely create tree cover, and tree cover cannot happen unless we move into tree-based agriculture. And because a large part of the land is held by farmers, unless we make it lucrative for them to grow trees, trees will not happen.

2. Tree-based Agriculture or Agroforestry:

After years of work, the United Nations is clearly recognizing today that a massive part of the solution is tree-based agriculture. That is what we have been pushing for 22 years now. And we have over 107,000 farmers doing tree-based agriculture to prove that it has worked on both ecological and economic levels.

107,000 farmers doing tree-based agriculture

Nearly 77% of the land, about 40 million square kilometers, that is used for agriculture in the world is used to raise animals and their food. Compared to various other available solutions, meat consumption is one of the simplest things that you can reverse. If you reduce your meat consumption by 50%, 20 million square kilometers of land on this planet will become available for tree-based agriculture. If you raise those many trees, you can produce all the things that you are getting from the forest on agricultural land. Farmers will become rich and you will also enrich the soil.

3. Reduce Meat Consumption:

Suppose someone is sick in the hospital, of course, you will not take a steak or a biryani for them. You take fruits. The message is clear, “Eat sensibly, at least now!” But the person who takes it does not get it! When travelers like Hiuen Tsang and Megasthenes came to India, they observed that the Indians have a disproportionately large part of the fruit in their diet and they said, “That could be the reason why they are so intellectually sharp.” We are becoming dumb because we are not conscious of the food we consume.

4. Fruit Diet – Healthy for You and the Planet:

If what you eat has over 75% water content, your health will get managed very easily. If you eat a raw vegetable, the water content is somewhere over 70%. If you eat fruit, it is generally over 90% water. So that is the best diet. At least 30-40% of our diet should come from the trees, not from the 4-month cycle of crops. That means all of us should eat a little more fruit. Right now, fruit is expensive because we are getting fruit from New Zealand, Australia, or Thailand. If you grow local tropical fruits here, they are not very expensive.

If what you eat has over 75% water content

If any other species had perpetrated the kind of damage that we have to the planet, we would have found a way to deal with them. If billions of Martian locusts landed here and began to cut through all our trees, turned our soil into deserts, and sucked the water out of our rivers we would have exterminated them. But the problem is not alien locusts. The problem is us. Since we are the source of the problem, we can also be the source of the solution. We are a problem only because we are in an unconscious, compulsive mode of action. If we were conscious, we would naturally be a solution.

5. Building a Conscious Planet

Right now, over 95% of the global population has no awareness of the ecological disaster building up around them. Ecological awareness is confined only to a small segment of people, and even among them, the idea of ecology is largely limited to using less water while showering or turning off the tap when brushing teeth. It is wonderful that people are conscious about what they are using, but this is not a comprehensive ecological solution. Only when ecology becomes an election issue will it become government policy, and only then will there be large budgets allocated so that solutions manifest

Level Awareness:

5.2 billion people are living in countries with the ability to vote and elect their nation’s leadership. We are looking at how to get at least three billion people on board so that ecological issues become the issues that elect governments. We want to make these three billion people aware of at least five ecological aspects that must happen in their country and two or three aspects that must not happen. If we do this, then ecology will become if not number one, at least the number two issue in election manifestos

Cycling is vigorous exercise, and buckets of research have found a strong correlation between improved mental health and exercise. Granted, we don’t know for sure that it’s causal.
But it kind of stands to reason: Cycling gets your heart pumping, which improves blood- and oxygen flow to your brain and triggers your body’s self-regulation mechanisms. A sound mind in a sound body.

The Usual “Exercise Is Good for You” Science

There aren’t a ton of studies specifically probing whether cycling improves mental health. But there are a few suggestive findings: This study found <a href="https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Effects-of-active-commuting-on-health%E2%80%90related-of-Neumeier-Loidl/3022267af8b1d4a06c7b56a25d55c5dcbb76e0ec">people who cycled to work had better mental health</a>; another small one found cycling <a href="https://bpsmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1751-0759-7-18">reduced the presence of the stress hormone cortisol</a>; yet another discovered that cycling for half an hour improved performance <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3809627/">on mental tests (of memory, reasoning, and planning)</a>.

Cycling Improves Mental Health

Most people find that when they go for a walk, they absorb the street scene better than when they race by in a car. Obviously! But cycling is, for me, the perfect sensual midpoint between the two. You get the visual banquet of walking, but because you’re going faster you get a bigger, longer feast — miles and miles of busy streets, in technicolour close-up.

You See the World Vividly and Up Close

Exercise always feels nice, of course, whether it’s playing a game of pickup football or going for a run. But when you cycle for a practical purpose — i.e. for transportation, to get from point A to point B — there’s an additional thrill. It gives you a radical sense of self-reliance. Travelling such long distances entirely under your own steam, distances that easily rival the ones that typically require a car or a train has a Promethean quality. You feel like a minor demigod.After you’ve travelled a serious distance on a bike, it’s hard to feel down on yourself.

You Feel Like You’ve Got Superpowers

In New York, if you’re taking a car or the subway, you’re always slightly nervous that something will screw up and you’ll be late. I mean, maybe you’ll be lucky? But then when you least expect it, wham: You run into a thick knot of traffic or an implacably mysterious subway delay — and now you’re a ball of stress, sitting in your car fuming.With cycling, there is no traffic that can slow you down. Part of what makes cycling so appealing is that it is highly meritocratic. Effort = distance, in a completely linear fashion. This feeds the soul.

It Removes Stress and Uncertainty from Urban Travel

Cycling is clearly useful for lifting one’s mood if you’re otherwise healthy, and merely facing normal funks and malaise. If you’re living with clinical depression it’s a different problem altogether, requiring careful medical attention. Cycling’s wonderful, but it is not a substitute for treatment.

The Bottom Line

Today I stumbled upon this gentleman’s post on Tik Tok — where he describes how cycling has made him happier. I love this guy’s video, because it describes something I’ve often felt but had never…

The Restorative Joy of Cycling

We wear masks all day, every day: at work, in school, even in malls. Obviously for most of us, our faces would react negatively this. Some YouTube videos would tell me to use stuff with ingredients like salicylic acid that dry out blemishes while some would tell me to keep the pimple moisturized. If you're like me, you'll be at a loss too.

Should you dry out maskne or keep it moisturized

Maskne or acne mechanica (professionally), includes any skin issues caused by friction brought about by pressure, friction, rubbing, squeezing, or stretching. Friction causes the upper layer of your skin to release water, causing your skin to lose its natural moisture. "The constant chafing of the mask in contact with skin can cause the skin barrier to break down and hair follicles to break open, consequently allowing acne-causing bacteria on to the skin," - Hadley King, MD, board-certified dermatologist, New York City.

What causes maskne in the first place?

"The occlusive nature of a mask creates a humid and warm environment under the mask, which can lead to increased sebum and sweat. In turn, this leads to irritation, inflammation, and breakouts," says Dr. King.In short, maskne is a contradicting matter of the skin being dry and oily and getting rid of it also requires drying out the pimples and also keeping them moisturized. How?

First, support the skin barrier with a non-comedogenic moisturizer that contains the trifecta of these soothing ingredients: humectants to moisturize the skin, emollients to seal in hydration and occlusives to reduce friction. Most pimple treatments decrease your skin's natural oil production, so it's important that a moisturizer be there as a buffer for your skin to tolerate the harsh acne regimen. 2. Once you have your hydrating base, use a good spot treatment to dry out the zit. Why spot treat? The goal is to dry out the pimples, not your whole face.

Drying out the zit while keeping it moisturized

1. Salicylic acid- exfoliates the upper layer of the skin) and penetrates deep into pores to remove sebum. 2. Benzoyl peroxide - kills P. acnes and Staph. Aureus bacteria that contributes to acne and helps prevent and clear clogged pores. Opt for micronized formulations; they cause less irritation to the skin and the molecules are stabilized for longer shelf life.Also try adding a topical retinoid into your routine at least 2-3 times a week (every day if your skin is already well adjusted) to help clear gunk from pores, leaving them less swollen.

Ingredients you should look for in a spot treatment

Moisturize maskne because it is inflammation—and inflammation needs hydration. But you should—layer it with targeted treatments like salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and retinoids, to unclog pores and boost skin cell turnover. See a dermatologist about starting a stronger prescription medication if these methods don't work.

The verdict: you should moisturize and dry out blemishes scars

Maskne has been a problem since Covid started.

In this week's Ask a Beauty Editor, Real Simple's Hana Hong answers whether you should moisturize acne or dry it out, plus how to find the best moisturizer for acne and how to dry out a pimple effectively.

Many common cooking oils contain a type of fat called <a href="https://health.clevelandclinic.org/5-foods-that-can-cause-inflammation/">omega-6 fatty acids </a>. Omega-6 fats aren't necessarily bad — your body uses them for energy and normal growth. But your omega-6 fats need to be in a careful balance with <a href="https://www.insider.com/omega-3-benefits">omega-3 fats </a>that you can get from foods like salmon, mackerel, and flaxseed. If you eat too much omega-6 fat, it can throw off this balance, which triggers inflammation.

Fried foods like chicken nuggets, doughnuts, and french fries are big inflammation culprits for several reasons, including:<ul><li>Fried foods tend to have high levels of omega-6 fatty acids.</li><li>Fried foods produce compounds in the body called advanced glycation end products, also known as AGEs.
