Ways you can lead a more meaningful life

A meaningful life requires comprehension (being able to make sense of your experience), significance (perceiving your life to be worthwhile), and purpose (having goals for your life that you deem valuable).

how do we achieve a greater sense of meaning in life?

“Extended over their lifetime, people who are more aware of what makes their lives meaningful, and who can access that content in a deliberate, cognitive fashion, should enjoy more stable and abundant meaning in life.”

There are many scientific scales of meaning in life. One of the easiest, quickest ones to use is the “Meaning in Life Questionnaire” (MLQ)

Measuring and fostering meaning in life

Philosophers and psychologists alike have long argued about the definition and factors of a meaningful life. What does it mean to live a meaningful life? Is meaningfulness necessary for happiness? While these questions may seem to belong to the realm of the metaphysical, meaningfulness is actually associated with greater well-being, and scientists have even devised ways to measure meaning in life.

have you ever felt detached from the world or felt like you don't belong in your own body when you look down at your hands?Depersonalization and Derealization are psychological disorders in which this experience is intense and prolonged. About 50% of the population have come across at least one of these experiences in their lifetime but only roughly two percent are actually diagnosed with the disorder. It occurs equally in both men and women and can start early in one's early or middle years.But the two terms Depersonalization and Derealization are often mixed up and misunderstood.

Depersonalization vs Derealization

Depersonalization is when you feel cut off from yourself. When you feel like a robot or like you're not in control of your own movements, you're experiencing depersonalization. People with depersonalization disorder don't feel like themselves and struggle with feeling in tune with their emotions. These patients may feel like they're outside observers of their own lives. They feel disconnected from their memories and may not remember them clearly. Most of the time they have out-of-body experiences because they don't feel grounded in their own bodies.

So what's the difference?

The symptoms could be hearing undefined sounds such as a train going by or soft murmurs and feeling like you're synching into a bed while your body feels numb and out of control.

Symptoms of out-of-body experiences 

derealization is when you feel cut off from the world. Patients who experience the symptoms of derealization feel as if they're in a dream or as if there is a glass wall or veil that's separating them from their surroundings. The world feels funny and distorted objects around them can feel and appear smaller or larger than they actually are. Surroundings may also be blurry or unusually clear. Sounds can seem louder and more overwhelming and time can feel like it's slowing down or going too fast.

Derealization

The causes and treatment methods for both depersonalization and derealization are similar. Anxiety and depression are common in patients with these two disorders. They're often developed in people who experience severe stress in their lifetime which includes but is not limited to being emotionally abused or neglected during childhood, physical abuse, witnessing domestic violence, having a severely impaired or mentally ill parent, and having a loved one die unexpectedly. symptoms of this disorder can also be triggered by severe stress from toxic relationships, financial concerns etcetera

Causes and Treatment 

To get diagnosed with this disorder, one may get a doctor's evaluation, take questionnaires or tests and undergo specifically structured interviews. Physical examination and urine tests are also done to make sure other mental health disorders such as seizure disorder and substance abuse are ruled out. This disorder is diagnosed when symptoms last for a long time or recur over time. It's important to know that getting brief and temporary episodes of these symptoms doesn't necessarily mean you have these disorders instead you may just be going through a highly stressful situation.

Diagnosis

For treatment for depersonalization or derealization, many patients undergo psychotherapy treatment of this disorder must address all stresses associated with an individual's triggers as this may help the patient become self-aware and give them the ability to take careful measures to prevent the next stressful episode in their lives. Cognitive techniques can also be used to help lock obsessive thinking about the unreal state of being and grounding techniques can encourage the individual to use their five senses to feel more connected with themselves in the real world.

Treatment

Have you ever felt detached from the world, or felt like you don't belong in your own body when you look down at your hands? The psychological disorder depersonalization and derealization is this phenomenon more intense and prolonged. Depersonalization is when you feel cut off from yourself, and derealization is when you feel cut off from the world. Both the causes and treatment methods for both depersonalization and derealization are similar. To get diagnosed for this disorder, common processes undertaken include getting a doctor's evaluation, questionnaire tests, and structured interviews. Many patients often undergo psychotherapy to get treated for depersonalization and derealization.

Life is all about taking risks and overcoming fear. If you don’t take that leap today, you’ll never know what you’re capable of. If we embrace our fears and work on them, we can break the biggest ceiling – our own mind. Once we do that, everything will be limitless! When we work on the things that we fear, or even simply acknowledge it and put some thought into it – we take away its power to control us.If you don’t work on that one thing that is constantly at the back of your head, that one thing that makes you stay up at night and worries you throughout the day, it will consume your mind.

Why face our fears?

1) The first thing to do is to realise that being afraid of things is common human nature. We’re all humans and we’re all afraid of something. It’s not about not being afraid, it’s about how you handle those fears and how you grow from them. Know that fear is mostly an uneasiness our mind feels over things that we don’t know about, or we’re unsure about.

How do we face said fears and grow?

2) The second – and maybe the most important thing, is to know what you’re afraid of and to what extent. It may sound strange but many people (including myself) aren’t exactly sure of what they’re afraid of. Take some time off and sit down and think about the things that bother you/worry you. When you know exactly what to work on you can actually focus in that direction instead of feeling stuck . When you know exactly what to work on things become more manageable and less scary.

3) Try to identify exactly what triggers fear and worry into your head. Sit down with yourself and just think about those things and the emotions they bring up inside you without actually feeling those emotions or letting those emotions control your mind. It might seem difficult at first, but slowly ease yourself into the process, eventually, you’ll be able to process those thoughts and emotions without really feeling much of them.

4) Like I said before, fear is (to some extent) an uneasiness in our mind about things that we don’t know about, or things that are ‘the unknown’. So gather as much information as you can, the more you know about it, the less scary it will be, and you might even find it interesting! Also, telling someone about your fears can be a great way to elevate some of the stress and can help you think more clearly. Writing those fears down can also be a great way to acknowledge them, it will help your mind to come up with solutions much more easily.

5) Use your imagination to think of the worst case scenario that could happen if you go forward with chasing these fears – and maybe even conquering them. Then, make a plan of what you could do if such a thing was to happen. Once you acknowledge the worst case scenario and find out ways to come out of it, it becomes way more easier to deal with them. It will help you take your mind off the problem and you can actually put in your energy to working towards the goal.

When you start off, there will be times when you would feel overwhelmed, you might feel like you’re not getting anywhere and all of this is just a waste of time. At times like this, reflect back to what things were like before and how far you’ve come. Know that all the hard work and unhappiness you’re feeling now is for something far more greater. Whenever you’re feeling emotionally burnt out and frustrated, take a break, listen to soothing music and process what’s happening around you, only then will you be able to move forward.

Things To Keep In Mind

Being afraid of things is common human nature, but conquering those fears and growing through them takes superhuman strength and courage. Here are some ways to be your own superhero! 

FACING OUR FEARS

Rather than going all-in on resolutions, set snackable goals that you can feel awesome about achieving. When we set realistic goals it helps motivate us to achieve them which in turn boosts our mental health. Give yourself credit for partially meeting the goal and think about how goal setting can impact your job, relationships, and self-care this year. For example, maybe you decide you want to try <a href="https://www.wellandgood.com/organize-kitchen-sustainable-eating/">one week of sustainable cooking</a>, or three straight days of yoga. Whatever you choose, ticking off this small win will offer you a boost of happiness and satisfaction.

1. Set short-term goals for yourself

<a href="https://www.wellandgood.com/tips-for-creating-boundaries/">Setting boundaries is no cakewalk</a>. Every day, your family, colleagues, and (gestures widely) the world ask for parts of you. While you may find it fulfilling to help out here and there, setting boundaries is also key to your mental health and well-being. Here’s how to scale back: Observe where you are overextended. Is it related to difficulty saying no, <a href="https://www.wellandgood.com/how-to-say-no-to-hanging-out/">people-pleasing</a>, FOMO, avoidance of something else at home, or in your relationship? You have to protect your free time or it will inevitably get lost in the mayhem of work-life balance issues.

2. Fix broken boundaries

Surprise, surprise: Sleep has a major influence on your mood and well-being. Without adequate sleep, you will forever be stuck in the reactionary patterns that govern your unconscious habits. And one of the first things to atrophy when we are chronically sleep deprived <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7181893/">is our mood regulation</a>. To improve it, <a href="https://www.wellandgood.com/morning-routine-better-sleep/">you need to emphasize quality, quantity, and consistency</a>. All three factors matter in repairing long-held patterns of chronic sleep disruption. As if we all needed one more reason to prioritize shut-eye, consider this it.

3. Double down on sleep

Aim for 15 minutes of movement twice a day. For an added boost, do it outside to get sunlight therapy at the same time (two for the price of one). Who doesn’t love a BOGO? It doesn’t require a huge time commitment in order to get the mood boost from movement either. If you do decide to <a href="https://www.wellandgood.com/endorphins-and-exercise/">squeeze in your feel-good, endorphin-boosting exercise outside</a>, just make sure you also <a href="https://www.wellandgood.com/spf-roadblocks-australian-gold/">apply your SPF</a>.

4. Move your body (even just a little)

A mindfulness-slash-stillness practice can have <a href="https://www.wellandgood.com/quick-mindfulness-break/">revolutionary effects on your happiness levels </a>. The biggest ROI in terms of cost, time, and outcome, by far, is a stillness or meditation practice of some sort. Mindfulness is proven to <a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnins.2019.01074/full">increase mood</a>, <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4407465/">improve sleep</a>, <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2848393/">decrease anxiety</a>, and <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6088366/">create more sustainable focus and concentration</a>. If you’re struggling to <a href="https://www.wellandgood.com/three-minute-meditation/">start a meditation practice</a>, think of things you’re grateful for, then extend feelings of kindness out to others. This is sometimes called <a href="https://www.wellandgood.com/best-meditation-style-wellness-needs/">loving-kindness meditation</a>, and it can be an easy access point for people who struggle to sit still.

5 Happiness-Boosting Things To Do To Start Your Year Off Right, According to Positive Psychologists

It is a bell-shaped cup made of silicone that is non-toxic which do not react with our body because it is relatively inactive at ordinary temperatures.

What Is A Menstrual Cup? 

<ol><li>Cups are cheaper than buying pads every month. Company X is selling 44 pads pack at the price of 371 INR which is going to last just for 2 months whereas Company Y is selling Cups at the same price of 371 INR but this is going to last for years because you can reuse it every month without being worried of pads getting over.</li></ol>

Why Am I Encouraging You To Use Cups? #1

Cups are better for the environment than sanitary pads which are typically disposed of in one of two ways: they are either buried in landfills, where they take 500–800 years to decompose, or they are burned in incinerators, where toxic fumes such as dioxins, phuron, and other carcinogenic compounds are released into the atmosphere.

Why Am I Encouraging You To Use Cups? #2 

You can do anything while wearing cups without getting worried about blood leakage strains like pads. You can swim, dance, sit spreading your legs, sleep in any position you want, roll in gardens, you can even pee without removing it! what’s more beautiful than this!

Why Am I Encouraging You To Use Cups? #3

There is no correct age at which a female can start using a cup. If you are 12 you can start now, if you are 35 you can still start now. Every human who has a vagina is going to take time to adapt maybe it will work right away or it can take several cycles to make it work.

Why Am I Encouraging You To Use Menstrual Cups? #4 

The female body has three holes first is the urethra, conduction of urine from the bladder. The second is the vagina, during sexual intercourse, it’s where the penis is penetrated. The birth canal is the passageway via which a baby exits a woman’s body during delivery. It’s also the path menstrual blood takes to depart the body during periods. The third is the anus where you pass waste from the body.

Knowledge about Female Holes

<ol><li>Small — Any age group who had never done intercourse. </li><li>Medium — Any age group who are sexually active but has never give birth. </li><li>Large — Age group who has got pregnant or delivered a baby. </li> </ol>

What Are The Sizes of Menstrual Cup? 

Sterilize the cup in boiled water for 2 minutes to kill the bacteria before using or use menstrual cup wash liquid 3–4 drops where you rub the liquid on the cup thoroughly and wash it.<ol><li> Fold — there are many ways to fold the cups, these are the most common and easy foldsfolds</li></ol><ul><li>Punch down and C fold </li></ul> 2. Insert — yes, it will hurt a little while inserting into your vagina but it’s normal because it’s new. Sit or Stand in positions and aim toward your tail bone.

How to Use Any Menstrual Cup? 

<ol><li>The cup should have tiny holes at the upper part to provide you vacuum while removing it every 4–6 hours like pads.</li></ol>

Things to keep in mind while purchasing a cup for anybody #1

You will hear the pop or feel that it has opened inside. (insert fingers and check if it is fit and non movable)Choose the longest tip cup to pull the cup easily while disposing of the blood.

Things To Keep In Mind While Purchasing A Menstrual Cup #2

3. It must be FDA approved ( FDA approved means the public can be very confident that this product meets the high standards for safety, effectiveness, and manufacturing quality )

Things To Keep In Mind While Purchasing A Menstrual Cup #3

<ul><li>A Menstrual Cup Can Get Lost Inside the Vagina — the fact is you will feel LIKE it will disappear inside your body because you are going to feel so light and comfortable but it is never going to get because the vaginal canal is only about 3–4 inches long until it reaches the cervix, which stops the menstrual cup from going into the uterus. It does not connect to other parts of the body there is no space to get lost. </li></ul>

Debunking Myths #1

Virgins can’t use a menstrual cup — In layman terms, using a menstrual cup will not cause you to lose your virginity. There is a great deal of misunderstanding regarding what it means to be a virgin. Virginity is considered to be biologically linked to the hymen and whether it is “intact” in many cultures across the world. The fact is that the only way to become non-virginal is to engage in sexual activity.

Debunking Myths #2

Your bedroom should be your sanctuary. Sleep at a cool temperature (approximately 65 degrees Fahrenheit), block out light with heavy curtains or eyeshades, and drown out noise with a white noise machine or earplugs.You should also make sure your bedroom is de-cluttered and clean.
