🔗The Spiritual Meaning of Tears from the Left Eye ( 2/2 )

"There’s something amazing about this life. The very same worldly attribute that causes us pain is also what gives us relief: Nothing here lasts. What does that mean? It means that the breathtakingly beautiful rose in my vase will wither tomorrow. It means that my youth will neglect me.( to be continued )

( 2/2 ) "But it also means that the sadness I feel today will change tomorrow. My pain will die. My laughter won’t last forever but neither will my tears. We say this life isn’t perfect. And it isn’t. It’s perfectly imperfect. It’s hard to keep your chin up when you feel so down. But try to remember that there’s a reason for the trials we face. Without rain, without change, without pain, we can’t grow.”

I Tried $100,000,000 CEO's Biohacking Routine For Focus

Have you ever wonder if everything that happens to you now and in the past are just a dream? Is it good for you? that all of your mistake is nothing but a phenomena that happened inside your brain, or it makes you scare and left anxious to think that you are sleeping all time and don't know what's with the waking world? Lets take a look with one of the notable anecdote in philosophy, Zhuangzi and the Butterfly.

The Questions

It started when Zhuangzi a great Daoist thinker fell asleep and dreamed that he was a butterfly. When he woke up, he did not know whether he really was a man who had dreamed he was a butterfly or whether he was a butterfly now dreaming he was a man.

Zhuangzi And The Butterfly

There is nothing wrong with doubting the reality and think the possibility of this hypothetical scenario to happen. In skepticism lens this is called "Global Skepticism".

Global Skepticism

They are doing doubt to everything, Global Skeptics claims that we cannot know whether our most fundamental belief are true or not. This idea rejects the possibility of knowledge in general. The introduction question is a kind of global doubt that leads to the one of the most famous argument of global skepticism called <a href="https://deepstash.com/idea/340702/the-dreaming-hypothesis">"The Dreaming Argument".</a>

Dreaming

Premise 1: We cannot always tell when we are dreaming. Premise 2: If we cannot tell, we cannot be certain that we are not dreaming right now.Premise 3: If we cannot be certain that we are not dreaming right now, then we cannot know anything about the external world.Conclusion: We cannot know anything about the external world.

The Hypothetical Syllogism of Dreaming Argument

This is a kind Global Skepticism because it presents the impossibility to have knowledge (We cannot know anything about the external world). The challenges in this argument can be found in all of its premises and to make the whole argument collapse, one must take the challenge to rule out those claims.

Zhuangzi and the Global Skepticism 

It’s painful when you get up in the morning already stressed out.You wake up at 6 a.m. And your to-do list taunts you with notifications. So, you drink a hot coffee. You race through emails in 10 seconds. You dash out the door. And you’re on your way to work – but they are waiting for you with open arms and hundreds of problems.Sounds familiar?

Stressing out because of bad habits

I used to live this kind of life a few years ago. I ran towards productivity, compared myself with others, and skipped sleeping hours only to be the best. But you can never succeed if you treat yourself like an object. Anxiety will soon reach out. And a brutal wake-up call will take your breath away (unfortunately, not in a good way.)Yet, this isn’t just my story. Millions of people live the same toxic cycle. But you can break free. Here are 7 habits that can crush your mental health and how to avoid them.

7 Habits that can Crush Your Mental Health

You are reading an excerpt from <a href="https://cosmopolitanmindset.substack.com/">The Challenge</a>, a newsletter where I discuss self-improvement, goal-setting, habits, time management, and health tips and tricks.Every week, you will get the following:<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">a challenge to pursue to improve your life</li><li class="ql-align-justify">an infographic to track it.</li></ul><a href="https://cosmopolitanmindset.substack.com/subscribe">Subscribe now</a> to help me continue publishing this type of content.

The Challenge

Overthinking is the millennial pandemic.Everyone has lost their mind over a wrong decision made in the past. But nowadays, the phenomenon has become systemic.People love to live in their past instead of thinking about their future. And when that future hits them on the nose, they start crying and look back to see what hit them.Do you see the irony?

1 – Overthinking past failures.

Mindfulness is the opposite of overthinking. You elevate your mind to a higher reality and remove yourself from the stream of thoughts. And, even if a thought catches your attention, you learn to stop the stream.Start with mindfulness if you want to learn how to control your thoughts. But if that’s too much, try smaller steps:<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Self-esteem exercises help you value your choices.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Reality round-ups force you to look at everything you did right.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Gratitude exercises help you appreciate everything you have achieved until now.</li></ul>

How to solve it

Life’s a rollercoaster of sad and happy moments and everything in between. And you can’t always stay on the top. When I was younger, I forced myself to think I didn’t care. I hated my schoolmates when they didn’t invite me to parties. But I lied to myself that I didn’t need them. Still, all those emotions sum up over time. And once they become too much, they crush your soul and mental health.I cried in my room many times because I had no friends. But you can solve the problem only if you stop lying to yourself first. You will understand the problem and find a solution.

2 – Control your feelings.

When you try to control an emotion, you must think you did something wrong. And instead of faking the results, search for a solution to never live that moment again.But pay attention!Usually, when I tell people to analyze their mistakes, they find problems in their beliefs and identity. But never change who you are for others. So, think about what you can do differently instead.<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Never trust identity issues that make you think you are a failure.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">And find ways you can do things better next time.</li></ul>

Living in a messy environment creates many problems. I know that it is hard to trust me on this. But it’s true.Here are a few examples of things that might happen.You may experience brain fog or indecisiveness. You are used to messy places, so don’t rearrange the thoughts in your brain. You forget about commitments, miss deadlines, and become a distrustful person.Take care of your environment and tidy your apartment at least once a week.

3 – Living in a messy environment.

Messy Environments = Unclear Thoughts is a connection we have known for ages. William H. McRaven even wrote a book on this problem and its solutions – <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Make-Your-Bed-Little-Things/dp/1455570249">Make Your Bed </a>. But messy people will always tend to leave everything scattered around the room. <ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Declutter your work environment every week. </li><li class="ql-align-justify">Make your bed every day. You will build a healthy habit and learn to keep things in order. Also, it doesn’t take much time.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Declutter your home at least once a month. Throw away things you don’t need anymore or pack them.</li></ul>

I have a young audience. So, some of you won’t know what I am about to say. But let me be a boomer for once. (I hope this will be the only time I have to do this.)I still remember the dopamine running through my veins every time one of my friends wrote me on MSN. That was the first free chat we ever experienced. And we used to stick to it every time we got home.Everybody tried to personalize their messages as they could. We all wanted to build a brand for ourselves. And MSN was something magical that filled our afternoons with dopamine.But we still met in person (that’s the boomer part).

4 – Online social networking. (1)

Nowadays, social networking is not a tool for the offline life anymore. It has replaced offline activities.“I use it to talk with my friends who live far away” – I know. That excuse got old. Find another one.So, how can you solve the online social networking trap?

4 – Online social networking. (2)

Look, I don’t want to be your online mom, ok? But I will say many things she would say.<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">First of all, play with your friends outside. I know video games are fantastic. I spent ten years on World of Warcraft and League of Legends. But if you want to build long-term friendships, you have to meet people in person.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Second, don’t search for relationships online. Most people don’t get to know the love of their life on Tinder. Some will build relationships on Facebook or Instagram. But nothing can outmatch real life. </li></ul>So, search your friends and partners offline, or at least try to.

I never tried to hide that social eating is my way of connecting with people. And I use it whenever I can.I love to try new food and cuisines. And I have a sweet tooth. But that forces me to work out. Otherwise, I would be way overweight.Working out is the only way I have to eat whatever I want. That’s how I reframed my mind around it. And I use this excuse to be consistent.But working out doesn’t only keep you fit. It also helps you become more disciplined. It gives you energy and willpower. And it can also get you friends if you commit to a team game.

5 – Not working out.

I found a convenient way to reframe my mind and work out. But not everyone loves to eat. Yet, everyone needs to work out for their physical and mental health.It’s simple – find an advantageous trade to trick your mind into doing it.For example, you could work out because:<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">you want to feel more confident and attract more partners</li><li class="ql-align-justify">you want to live healthier </li><li class="ql-align-justify">or you don’t want to change your eating habits, but they may cause you problems.</li></ul>

Most of the people I know hate to spend time by themselves. They are afraid to be alone for more than a few hours. And they will do everything to distract themselves instead of facing their fears.Luckily, I don’t have this problem anymore. I spent so much time alone that I got used to it. And now, I need it for my well-being.Lone time feeds you perspectives. It helps you work on your projects, ideas, and purpose. It gives you time to breathe and reflect. And never be afraid of being alone.

6 – Never spend time alone.

I don’t know any quick fixes for this kind of problem. If you are afraid to be alone, there is only one solution – be alone.But there are a few things you should focus on during this time to make things easier.<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Predict your future and try to understand how to reach your goals.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Then, think about the steps you have to take to get there.</li></ul>

I wrote about instant and <a href="https://www.cosmopolitanmindset.com/delayed-gratification-to-help-improve-your-life/">delayed gratification </a>many times in my career. But even if I know the benefits, my brain still uses the first to get its validation.Once again, social media are the problem. But not because they exist. But because they taught us to expect fast results.No, it’s wrong. It may have been like this in the beginning. But many people try to achieve the same goal online nowadays. And it has become quite challenging and stressful to emerge.Instant results are worthless. You may go viral today. But tomorrow, nobody will know your name.

7 – Expecting immediate results.

Working towards a goal is unthinkable without feedback. But success and recognition shouldn’t be your feedback in the first place.<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Work with a purpose, something you want to achieve that goes beyond materialistic rewards.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Use people’s words as feedback and try to help them whenever possible. It will be the most fulfilling experience in your life.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Aim for long-term projects that impact your life in more than one way. Those are the things to live for.</li></ul>

Take care of your mental health more than anything else. Fix those bad habits that make you overthink, undermine your value, or doubt your worth. And then proceed to succeed.[<a href="https://cosmopolitanmindset.substack.com/subscribe">SUBSCRIBE</a> TO DOWNLOAD THE FREE INFOGRAPHIC ]

These 7 Habits Can Crush Your Mental Health – Here's How to Avoid Them

Meditation is a technique for achieving mental and physical tranquility. It provides an escape from stress by focusing on the present moment in a non-judgmental way. Engaging in mindfulness and meditation enhances self-awareness, teaching you to observe your surroundings and emotions calmly, without being overwhelmed by them.

What is Meditation

Meditation is a great tool that is available to everyone. That's why we want to share the basic steps of <a href="https://productive.fish/blog/how-to-meditate-for-beginners/">mindfulness meditation for beginners</a>.

How to Meditate

Seek a calm environment where you can meditate without interruptions, ensuring a space free from external noises. Turning off loud devices is advisable. However, complete silence isn't necessary, so there's no need for earplugs in your meditation area.

Find a Quiet Place

Choose a comfortable position without overthinking your posture, attire, or seating. Sitting cross-legged is optional; a chair, cushion, or couch will suffice. The key is to maintain a straight but relaxed back. Commit to dedicating your chosen meditation time fully, whether you find it challenging or straightforward.

Take a Comfortable Position

Using a timer or meditation app ensures you don't have to constantly check your watch, avoiding distractions. Begin with short sessions of 2–5 minutes to ease into the practice and encourage the formation of a long-term habit. Starting small makes it easier to begin and significantly increases the likelihood of success. As you become more comfortable with the practice, you can gradually extend your meditation time.

Set a Timer

Focus on your breath's journey: entering through your nostrils, moving down your throat, filling your lungs and belly. Notice each inhalation and exhalation. You may keep your eyes gently focused on the ground or close them to enhance concentration.Incorporate counting into your practice by numbering each breath from 1 to 10. Should your attention wander and you lose count, simply start over. This technique aids in maintaining focus during meditation.

Focus on Breath

How to Meditate for Beginners

Clear believes that to create lasting change we need to focus on changing ourselves and our beliefs. Rather than relying solely on results as goals, we should create a better sense of self by creating habits that resemble what we want to do. By accepting new behavior and becoming the person we want to be, we can change our beliefs and achieve lasting change.

1. Focus On Personal Behavior

Clearly demonstrating the importance of being the behaviors we want to see more of in our environment. He recommends using tips such as putting exercise clothes next to the bed or putting books on the main shelf to remember and get done. By creating physical and digital environments that support our desired behaviors, we can make it easier for us to stick to them.

2. Positive Attitudes

Habit hoarding involves connecting new habits to existing ones, creating clear cues and making it easier to stick to them. By integrating the desired behavior with previously established processes, we can use existing automatic behavior to help us create new behavior more easily. Clear provides examples and practical tips for using Habit Stacking effectively in your daily life.

3. Master the Art of Habit Hording

The two minute rule suggests breaking big habits into smaller, more manageable tasks that can be completed in a few minutes. By making starting the habit as easy as possible, we can overcome the inertia that often keeps us from taking action. Clear believes getting started is the most important step because it creates momentum and leads to ongoing risk.

4. Follow the two minute rule

Tracking our habits helps measure and manage progress based on our efforts. Clear recommends using a behavior tracker to record each instance of desired behavior; because it not only holds us accountable, but also provides a sense of satisfaction and motivation. By seeing the light of continuous improvement, our chances of living forever increase.

5. Use Habit Tracking

To make a character stick, Clear recommends adding something interesting to the character. By associating positive emotions or rewards with behavior, we reinforce the desired behavior and increase the risk of recurrence. It also highlights the importance of immediate reward over delayed gratification, as it helps reinforce behavior.

6. Make a Character Interesting

It clearly shows the impact of the environment on our behavior. We can easily adhere to our physical, social and cultural environments by harmonizing them with our desired behaviors. This may include eliminating temptation, surrounding yourself with like-minded people, or finding an environment that encourages positive behavior.

7. Create an environment that supports your behavior

Openly accept that setbacks and challenges are inevitable in the habit building process. He suggests breaking habits into smaller pieces, examining specific issues or problems, and finding ways to change and overcome them. By addressing the root causes of obstacles, we can develop strategies that will ensure the flow of our behavior.

8. Overcoming obstacle by creating habits

It clearly shows the combination of small behaviors over time. Just as financial investment can increase exponentially, small improvements in attitudes and behaviors can lead to personal and professional growth. By showing up regularly, we can use the power of compound interest to achieve long-term change, even if the immediate benefits seem small.

9. Recognize the power of behavior as combination

Clearly demonstrates the importance of continuous improvement. It encourages people to examine, reflect, and adjust their behavior as they progress. By experimenting, adapting, and learning from experience, we can improve our behavior and continue to change for the better.

10. Continuous improvement and character development

Atomic Habits

Ikigai is the reason for your being. 'Iki' in Japanese means 'life,' and 'gai' describes value or worth. Ikigai means your purpose in life, which makes you wake up everyday. Having a clearly defined ikigai brings satisfaction, happiness, and meaning to our lives. Ikigai is illustrated in four overlapping circles, as in a Venn Diagram which talks about a synthesis of:• What you love to do.• What you are good at.• What the world needs.• What you can be paid for

What Is Ikigai

To know what your Ikigai is, make a list of the following three things - • Your values • Things you like to do • Things you are good at The cross-section or overlap of these three lists, is your Ikigai, something you should do for the rest of your life. Happiness is in the act of doing, not the result.

Knowing Your Ikigai

The keys to longevity are diet, exercise, finding a purpose in life (an Ikigai), broad circle of friends, and good family relations.

Ikigai and Longevity

The concept of Ikigai aligns with everyday life, as opposed to a lifetime. It makes us appreciate our daily life, celebrating it, and experiencing the small joys of living. Ikigai is the reason you wake up in the morning for, that thing you live for, daily. Whatever you do, don't retire. Keep your heart young. Smile. Live an unhurried life. Show respect for nature.

Ikigai: Everyday Life and not Lifetime

Eating a variety of foods, in particular fruits and vegetables. Make sure, that you are "eating the rainbow" - red peppers, carrots, spinach, cauliflower,and eggplant, for example, offers color and variety. The world's longest living people eat less than 10 grams of salt per day and cut down on refined sugar, refined grains, and foods prepared with cow’s milk. They have sweet potato, soyabeans. They enjoy their green tea.

One of the most common sayings in Japan is “Hara hachi bu,” which is said before or after eating and means “Fill your belly to 80 percent. Overeating wears down the body with long digestive processes that accelerate cellular oxidation. By presenting their meals on many small plates, the Japanese tend to eat less.

Hara hachi bu - The 80% Secret

The longest-living people are not the ones who do the most exercise but rather the ones who move the most. Everyone should be involved in some type of body movements such as talking walks, gardening, doing your laundry, cooking, cleaning, on a regular basis. Practicing yoga or any other form of light exercise can help. The Surya Namaskar (the Sun Salutation) with just twelve basic movements is one of the simplest and most effective hatha yoga exercise that one can practise at home for a lifetime. Breathing properly can do wonders.

Movement & Exercise

A Moai is an informal group of people with common interests who look out for one another. Those who will motivate you and provide you with constructive feedback and support when necessary. Surround yourself with good friends and family, with people who are positive and cheerful. Nurture your friendships every day. If you are anxious, go out, say ‘Hello!’ and ‘See you later!’ to people.

Moai: Connected for Life

A sound mind lies in a sound body. Physical exercise keep the body healthy. Simple exercises like jogging, stretching, pushups, cycling, makes you feel happy and energetic. Mental work, exercises help create new neural connections and revitalizes the brain.

Active Mind, Youthful Body

High-level stress leads to premature aging. One way to reach a state of mindfulness is through meditation. Get seven to nine hours of sleep.

Be Mindful about Reducing Stress

Walk to work, or just go for a walk 20 minutes in a day, take the stairs, play a sport, play with kids, participate in social or leisure activities.

Sitting for Prolonged Periods Ages You

Stay cheerful and maintain a positive attitude. Accept emotions without trying to control them since feelings will change as a result of actions.

Have a Positive Attitude and Emotional Awareness

• Pray once you wake up. • Focus on the most important than the most urgent. • Be flexible, concentrate on things you can control, and don’t worry about those you cannot. • There is nothing wrong with enjoying life’s pleasures as long as they do not take control of your life. • Think about what’s the worst thing that can happen. However, do not give in to negative emotions. • Observe the thoughts as they appear, without getting carried away. • Focus on here and now. • Only imperfection resembles the natural world.

How to Face Life’s Challenges without Stress and Worry  ?

Both Buddhism and Stoicism remind us that the present is all that exists, and it is the only thing we can control. Instead of worrying about the past or the future, we should appreciate things just as they are in the moment, in the now.

The here and now, and the impermanence of thing

Wabi-sabi is a Japanese concept that shows us the beauty of the fleeting, changeable, and imperfect nature of the world around us. Instead of searching for beauty in perfection, we should look for it in things that are flawed, incomplete. Japanese concept is that of ichi-go ichi-e , which could be translated “This moment exists only now and won’t come again.” It is heard most often in social gatherings as a reminder that each encounter is unique and will never be repeated, meaning that we should enjoy the moment and not lose ourselves in worries about the past or the future.

Wabi-sabi and ichi-go ichi-e

Stay active; don’t retire.Take it slow.Don’t fill your stomach.Surround yourself with good friends.Get in shape for your next birthday.Smile.Reconnect with nature.Give thanks.Live in the moment.Follow your IKIGAI.

The 10 Rules of Ikigai

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • 1.5 MILLION+ COPIES SOLD WORLDWIDE “Workers looking for more fulfilling positions should start by identifying their ikigai.” ―Business Insider   “One of the unintended—yet positive—consequences of the [pandemic] is that it is forcing people to reevaluate their jobs, careers, and lives. Use this time wisely, find your personal ikigai, and live your best life.” ―Forbes Find your ikigai (pronounced ee-key-guy) to live longer and bring more meaning and joy to all your days. “Only staying active will make you want to live a hundred years.” —Japanese proverb   According to the Japanese, everyone has an ikigai—a reason for living. And according to the residents of the Japanese village with the world’s longest-living people, finding it is the key to a happier and longer life. Having a strong sense of ikigai—where what you love, what you’re good at, what you can get paid for, and what the world needs all overlap—means that each day is infused with meaning. It’s the reason we get up in the morning. It’s also the reason many Japanese never really retire (in fact there’s no word in Japanese that means retire in the sense it does in English): They remain active and work at what they enjoy, because they’ve found a real purpose in life—the happiness of always being busy. In researching this book, the authors interviewed the residents of the Japanese village with the highest percentage of 100-year-olds—one of the world’s Blue Zones. Ikigai reveals the secrets to their longevity and happiness: how they eat, how they move, how they work, how they foster collaboration and community, and—their best-kept secret—how they find the ikigai that brings satisfaction to their lives. And it provides practical tools to help you discover your own ikigai. Because who doesn’t want to find happiness in every day?
