“Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds.”

While death anxiety is the fear of running out of time, time anxiety is the fear of wasting your time. It’s an obsession about spending your time in the most meaningful way possible. And when society tells us—or when we interpret signs from society as saying—that it’s too late to achieve a particular goal, we don’t perceive it as meaningful enough. We need—we demand—that what we do with our lives actually matters.

What is time anxiety?

Time anxiety can take several forms:<ul><li>Current time anxiety: the daily feeling of being rushed that makes us feel overwhelmed and panicky.</li><li>Future time anxiety: thoughts about what may or may not happen in the future, which are the cause of worry and “what if” types of internal questions.</li><li>Existential time anxiety: the sense of lost time slipping away and never to return, which many people experience in a more acute way when thinking about death.</li></ul>

Time anxiety can take several forms

Am I creating the greatest amount of value with my life that I can? Will I feel, when it comes my time to die, that I spent too much of my time frivolously?

“And if we continue asking why, like the child we once were, trying to excavate down to our most rudimentary ambition—a time-worn exercise—we’ll eventually find all reasons lead to the same place, to the one core reason for living we’d sought all along, the core reason against which we measure the value of everything we do: to be happy.”

<ol><li>Define what “time well spent” means to you: sit down, and think about what really makes you happy and <a href="https://nesslabs.com/flow">gets you in the flow</a>, without overthinking about how feasible the final outcome would be.</li><li>Make space for these moments: Think of where you will incorporate these moments into your life.</li><li>Cut out time-consuming distractions: Do a quick audit of your content consumption patterns and try to cut out the amount of time you spend in an <a href="https://nesslabs.com/creative-input-output">input rather than output</a> mode.</li></ol>

three steps you can take to reduce time anxiety

Time anxiety is something I’m still struggling with, and may keep on struggling with for the rest of my life. If that’s something you’re also struggling with, I hope you find these strategies useful.

I have always struggled with a thought: it’s too late. Too late to publish a book, to start a company, to learn a new language. This is called time anxiety.

Understand yourself and those around you.

The Power of Your Subconscious Mind

<ol><li>For every action, there is an equal and opposite emotional reaction.</li><li>Ur self worth equals the sum of our emotions over time.</li><li>Ur identity will stay your identity until a new experience acts against it.</li></ol>Emotional gravity: People are pulled towards other people with similar histories and experiences like our own.

Newton’s Laws of Emotion

“If you get off your ass and actively seek out pain, the body is anti-fragile. Meaning it gets stronger the more stress and strain you put on it.….but if you avoid stress and pain… your muscles will atrophy, your bones will become brittle and you will degenerate into weakness.”

<ul><li>The default human condition is to avoid pain and pursue pleasure, But this pursuit of pleasure is toxic because it is misleading and self-defeating.</li><li>The antidote is to actively engage with pain and learn to suffer well.</li></ul>

Pain Is The Universal Constant

“…while pain is inevitable, suffering is always a choice… there is always a separation between what we experience and how we interpret that experience.

<ol><li>Innovations (Upgrade pain): Innovations replace pain with a more tolerable pain.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Diversions (Avoid pain): Diversions help people to numb their pain. Examples: weekend out with friends and the use of social media.</li></ol>

The Feelings Economy:

“Humans warp their perceptions to fit their expectations.”Examples:<ol><li>In the pre-Uber days, we were willing to wait for 30 min for a taxi to come. Today we complain if there is a delay of even 5 min. </li><li>A decade back, someone was living in a small apartment and very contented. Today, the same family lives in a Villa with a much higher living standard and feels less satisfied than before. </li></ol>Convenience has improved but satisfaction has not.

The Blue Dot Effect:

“Freedom itself demands discomfort.”

<ol><li>A sense of control: We’re in control of our own life.</li><li>A belief in the value of something: Something important enough to work toward, something better, that’s worth striving for.</li><li>A community: A group that values the same things we do and is working toward achieving those things.</li></ol>

To Build And Maintain Hope

People want diversions from their pain, like social media to scroll through, or cheeseburgers or ice creams to divert them from their stress, These things, these diversions, give us the feeling of ‘freedom’ (temporary freedom from our pain), but really this is just FakeFreedom.

FAKE FREEDOM

<ul><li>Real freedom comes from sacrifices and choosing what to give up.</li><li>The only TRUE form of freedom is through SELF-LIMITATION. It is not the privilege of choosing everything you want in your life, but rather, choosing what you will GIVE UP in your life.</li></ul>

REAL FREEDOM

<ul><li>The hope that brings the most joy to our lives is the same hope that brings the greatest danger. </li><li>We must stop hoping and accept what is. That is the only way to end the perpetual cycle of conflict.</li><li>Don't hope for better. Be better. Be something better. Be more compassionate, more resilient, more humble, more disciplined.</li></ul>

Hope Is F*cked

“We are inconsequential cosmic dust, bumping and milling about on a tiny blue speck. We imagine our own importance. We invent our purpose—we are nothing. Enjoy your F*cking coffee.”

“Living well does not mean avoiding suffering; it means suffering for the right reasons.”—Mark Manson

From the author of the international mega-bestseller The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck comes a counterintuitive guide to the problems of hope. We live in an interesting time. Materially, everything is the best it’s ever been—we are freer, healthier and wealthier than any people in human history. Yet, somehow everything seems to be irreparably and horribly f*cked—the planet is warming, governments are failing, economies are collapsing, and everyone is perpetually offended on Twitter. At this moment in history, when we have access to technology, education and communication our ancestors couldn’t even dream of, so many of us come back to an overriding feeling of hopelessness. What’s going on? If anyone can put a name to our current malaise and help fix it, it’s Mark Manson. In 2016, Manson published The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck, a book that brilliantly gave shape to the ever-present, low-level hum of anxiety that permeates modern living. He showed us that technology had made it too easy to care about the wrong things, that our culture had convinced us that the world owed us something when it didn’t—and worst of all, that our modern and maddening urge to always find happiness only served to make us unhappier. Instead, the “subtle art” of that title turned out to be a bold challenge: to choose your struggle; to narrow and focus and find the pain you want to sustain. The result was a book that became an international phenomenon, selling millions of copies worldwide while becoming the #1 bestseller in 13 different countries. Now, in Everthing Is F*cked, Manson turns his gaze from the inevitable flaws within each individual self to the endless calamities taking place in the world around us. Drawing from the pool of psychological research on these topics, as well as the timeless wisdom of philosophers such as Plato, Nietzsche, and Tom Waits, he dissects religion and politics and the uncomfortable ways they have come to resemble one another. He looks at our relationships with money, entertainment and the internet, and how too much of a good thing can psychologically eat us alive. He openly defies our definitions of faith, happiness, freedom—and even of hope itself. With his usual mix of erudition and where-the-f*ck-did-that-come-from humor, Manson takes us by the collar and challenges us to be more honest with ourselves and connected with the world in ways we probably haven’t considered before. It’s another counterintuitive romp through the pain in our hearts and the stress of our soul. One of the great modern writers has produced another book that will set the agenda for years to come.

Everything Is F*cked

Procrastination has been deemed the quintessential self-regulatory failure—putting off tasks despite knowing we will be worse off as a consequence. Seeing as ADHD itself is a developmental problem of self-dysregulation—a chronic, persistent delay in the acquisition and employment of the foundational self-regulatory capacities, known as the executive functions—it is no surprise that procrastination is among, if not the most commonly cited presenting problem faced by adults with ADHD seeking treatment.

Procrastination And ADHD

Procrastivity is a sneaky form of procrastination, a sort of Trojan horse of avoidance. Also known as productive procrastination, procrastivity is defined as putting off one’s priority task to escape to a lower priority, but still productive task. Procrastivity is at play when a student is suddenly driven to do laundry rather than writing a paper, or mowing the lawn is more important than working on income taxes. Procrastivity is a way to gain smaller-sooner comfort by getting something done, but at the cost of the larger-later and often more important payoff from finishing the priority task.

Procrastivity, Or Productive Procrastination

Everyone—ADHD or not—puts off tasks, including via procrastivity. Adults with ADHD, though, are at greater risk for experiencing more significant negative effects and impairments from it.But what is it about procrastivity tasks that make them magically more enticing than priority tasks? The laundry and yard work themselves likely had been objects of procrastination before. Why the motivation to do them now?A reverse engineering of procrastivity and the nature of the tasks used to avoid higher priorities offer some important lessons abouttheir particular features.

Why Put-off Tasks Are Used To Put Off Other Tasks

1) They tend to be manual or “hands on”Procrastivity tasks tend to be more manual or hands-on than priority tasks. Priority tasks, on the other hand, are more mentally challenging, exacting greater cognitive load, such as administrative tasks, writing, homework, and many others. Even among these intellectual tasks, such as different homework assignments, there is a personal rock-paper-scissors algorithm of difficulty, such as “writing is harder than reading” and “reading is harder than a problem set.”

The Characteristics Of Procrastivity Tasks

2) They offer a familiar script of onboarding steps for getting startedFor the procrastivity tasks mentioned above, laundry and mowing the lawn, there is a clear, well-rehearsed set of steps to perform for getting started that is viewed as more “doable” than the higher priority task. This makes getting started on those tasks easier and probably fuels justifications for escape in the form of the thought “I’ll do this other thing first, then I’ll me ‘in the mood’ for the priority task.” (Have you ever really been "in the mood" for laundry or taxes?)

3) There is a clearer sense of making and maintaining progressWith procrastivity tasks, you can see the laundry and lawn getting done with a corresponding decrease in the amount of time and effort remaining, a countdown until the task is done. With most priority tasks, more than one work session is required, such as writing a paper or completing taxes, and there is a possibility of surprises or difficulties with the task that could conceivably end up taking more time and effort than was originally anticipated.

4) There is a clear end pointThere is a clear stopping point with most procrastivity tasks at the job is completed and off the to-do list. This fact comes with a visceral sense of satisfaction of task completion, even with chores and other administrative matters. This positive feeling is underestimated despite the fact that procrastivity tasks are not the most existentially fulfilling matters. It feels good to get things done. And due to the vagaries and uncertainties inherent in many priority tasks, it is difficult to determine an exact end point that one is confident can be reached.

Even in cases of a clear deadline, such as for homework or taxes, there is uncertainty about how much progress will be made during the time spent on the priority task, which opens the door for escape to a task with greater certainty. In fact, many people are willing to devote more time and energy to a procrastivity task than to the priority task because the certainty of the outcome is more desirable to one’s sense of efficacy, the belief that one can do it. Thus, two hours of yard work is preferable to 45 minutes working on taxes.

Uncertainty About Progress Makes Us Run For The Door

The puzzle of procrastinating via procrastivity, of avoiding tasks via avoided tasks, and the characteristics of procrastivity tasks that can perhaps help us turn procrastination against itself.

How to Stop Worrying and Start Living

The suffering the Buddha spoke of included people’s longing for pleasure and the knowledge that one day everyone will be parted from their loved ones. It included the fact that the wonders of life end in death.The Buddha called this suffering dukkha. Human beings are like a dog, he said, tied to a post and unable to escape, forever pulling at the rope. He called this trap of suffering the wheel of samsara, or the cycle of life and death.

<ol><li>Ardency-In the Satipatthana Sutta, he told his followers that they would need the quality of ardency on their journey, meaning the ability to sustain their efforts over the long haul.</li><li>Impermanence-In Buddhism, all things change except for nibbana – that highest form of happiness. Emotions and thoughts come and go, and the world we live in is one of birth, growth, decay, and death. </li><li>When you accept that suffering comes from the self, you realize renouncing the self not only ends your suffering, but also the suffering you cause others. The Buddha called this sense of purpose clear comprehension.</li></ol>

In the Satipatthana Sutta, the Buddha takes joy in telling his students how the body can lead the way to enlightenment. Begin, he advises, by sitting on the floor with your back straight and your legs crossed. Focus on your breath. Start by simply noting what is happening: I am breathing in. I am breathing out. Then take note of whether the breath is short or long. Eventually, you’ll become aware of where you are in the breath – the beginning, middle, end. As you go on, you’ll notice that you don’t just breathe with your nose and your mouth, or even lungs. Breath occurs through the whole body

The first is impermanence. Feel your nerves spark with micro-sensations, and note that these always pass. Second, witness the driving force of suffering. See how you shift positions to counter an ache in your tailbone or stretch to ease a cramp. Third and last, see how mindfulness of the body reveals the absence of the self. You are skin, bone, sinew, organs, bile, snot, and tears. You are an interdependent system of things. There is no bigger you behind it. In this context, “you” – as the entity directing the system – are a fiction.

In order to build and lead a great team, you have to be the kind of person that people want to build with.What does that look like? It looks like centring your humanity and core values by remembering at the end of the day that we all want to live a creative life that we control. Entrepreneurship is just the tool we use to do it.

Being A Good Leader

Eat regularly. Get good sleep. Stay hydrated. Keep moisturized. Exercise. All these things matter. If it’s three P.M. and you haven’t eaten since eight P.M. the previous night, do you think you’re going to be able to make the best decisions for yourself and your company? Unlikely.Staying healthy means taking care of your mental health, too.  Sometimes you need help, and that’s okay.

Take Care Of Your Physical and Mental Health

Remember the core values we defined in Step 1? You are going to use these a lot. Tape them on your wall. Set them up as a pop-up on your computer. Live by these values and do not second-guess them (or yourself).

Follow Your Core Values

Always be learning. Block time to read and absorb books and courses. Take at least an hour a week to give yourself permission to reject all calls and focus on new ways to learn and better your business without outside interference.

Always Be Learning

Sometimes being a good leader means you are just enjoyable to be around. As a leader, you have to find that joy in your job so the people around you find joy in their jobs. Be the person who laughs. Be the person who dances.

Take Joy In Your Work

Sometimes being a good leader is recognizing when something isn’t working. Sometimes businesses fail. Sometimes even relationships fail. Sometimes it’s not your fault. Sometimes it is. And sometimes your company is thriving but your personal life is crumbling (and vice versa). Know what your breaking point is.

Being a good leader means nothing without investing in yourself. Here’s how

When the pandemic first began, many experts feared that even people who managed to avoid the virus would suffer from unprecedented levels of loneliness. What would happen when millions of people were told to stay at home and distance themselves from friends and loved ones? Two years of research later, experts have found that loneliness levels were already dire enough to pose a threat to mental and physical health.

Only The Lonely

Across the U.S. and European populations, the differences in loneliness before and after the Pandemic are small.Researchers found about a 5% increase in loneliness in the period immediately following the outbreak, but these differences do not mean anything clinically at all because the increases were so small.

Pandemic Blues

<ul><li>More people are feeling comfortable talking about mental health and the role that loneliness can play in mental health disorders.</li><li>Researchers who study loneliness say that it hasn't always received the kind of attention it deserves as a major threat to health.</li><li>Primary care doctors and therapists don't regularly screen their patients for signs of loneliness.</li><li>Japan followed the U.K. in appointing its first Minister of Loneliness in 2021.</li><li>WHO is considering creating a high-level commission to address social connection, isolation, and loneliness.</li></ul>

More People Are Now Talking About Mental Health Disorders

<ul><li>Research has found loneliness can significantly increase the risk of early death.</li><li>In part, that's because it's linked to a striking number of disorders.</li><li>Loneliness has also been linked to cardiovascular disease, stroke, Type 2 diabetes, cancer, and other chronic illnesses.</li></ul>

How Loneliness Affects Health

Reducing loneliness is not just increasing the number of people a person sees, but making more fulfilling social connections.Seek out relationships with others who are really "your people".Get busy to distract yourself and enrich your life-like getting out in nature, taking up a creative hobby, or meditating.Nurture existing relationships, including with people you might overlook. For example, people become less lonely after doing small acts of kindness for their neighbour.

Reducing Loneliness

The pandemic made Americans slightly more lonely—but loneliness levels were already dire. Here’s how to address it in your own life.

Loneliness Is a Public Health Emergency. Here's What Helps, According to Experts

story of Hasil AdkinsINTRODUCTION.Hasil thought, that Hank William, plays each instrument while he was performing on the Radio, which he used to listen to every day.He was innocent to believe this and started to play drum through his Leg and Guitar through his hand.He thought if everyone could play instruments while performing on the radio, then why can’t I? He then played and practiced the instruments immediately after reaching home from school and going for hours and on!He is Famous for  ' One Man Band '.

Power of Belief System.

Staying Doubtless about the intelligence in you is the biggest indicator in ur life to achieve the success which was claimed impossible before.‘Coz when you are doubtless, you don’t exaggerate and move randomly rather, you start doing the first thing that comes to your mind.Adkins believed that Playing various instruments was normal, and he should do the same.

Doubtless Mind. 

Because we want to! Doing this, Our subconscious mind will start feeling certainty that our goal has been achieved which finally turned into a doubtless state of mind.The doubtless mind is easy and light in its state and immediately wants to take the decision.Then we will start to concentrate on the process.

Why do We see the final success rather than the process while visualizing our goal?

Kids who have to go thru no love from parents, some of them starts to believe that they are wrong, they are the one who lacks the thing to get motherly love. They think this in such a way that, their body stops producing growth hormone at a speedy intensity.This finally stops their physical and mental growth.This effect is called psychosocial dwarfism.Beliefs are the internal Commands. This affects each cell and tissue of the body. belief system doesn’t just stay in our heads but rather effect the biochemistrybelief system may affect your genes and DNA too.

Psychosocial dwarfism

This could be understood thru an example.When a lady suffering from Nauseousness was prescribed by an elderly doctor to take a tablet, the lady believed for the tablet to be in favor of her treatment and the intake was a success. But the interesting thing was the tablet was to make us suffer from vomiting rather than stop it.So, how did this happen?It's actually simple, her brain gave a clear signal to make her feel good as her brain believed that Doctor’s tablet for whatever it is it will cure her.

Placebo Effect.

They speak about the cause and effect of mental beliefs which could go wrong if we take some negative beliefs such as superstitions and similarly, if some healthy beliefs are inserted in our head, it could make our life cherish.

हम सब जीतने की क्षमता रखते हैं | 
कुछ हिम्मत हरकत और होशियारी के किस्से 
जो आपके काम अजाएं.
हम जीतेंगे 
(Hum Jeetenge)


Aristotle कहते हैं की
अगर आप सोचते हो की आप कर सकते हो
और अगर आप सोचते हो की आप नहीं कर सकते
आप दोनों ही मायनों में सही हो.

अगर हमें दुनिया जीतनी है तो खुद को जीतना होगा.
लेकिन इसके लिए केवल emotion और inspiration 
काफी नहीं. अगर successfull होना है तो केवल motivation से 
काम नहीं चलेगा. साथ में practical tips और तरीके भी
चाहिए होंगे जो हम अपने जीवन में उतार सकें.

इस चैनल पर तीन तरह की के videos हैं
हिम्मत – जो उम्मीद जगा दे, हारे को उठा दे और रुके को बड़ा दे.
हरकत – जो सही काम सही समय पर सही तरह से करने की सलाह दे
और 
होशियारी – जो Life, motivation, success, passion, productivity 
         के बारे में सही सलाह दे.

Power of Belief System. छोटी सी चीज आपकी जिंदगी बदल सकती है

Her Majesty has more to offer in terms of life advice than any self-appointed wellbeing guru on social media.When I was in rehab, way back when, I heard a piece of advice that has stayed with me ever since. It came from a counsellor, during a session about staying sober in the real world.It focused on dealing with stressful events or people that would usually be a trigger to drink or take drugs. His advice? “Just smile and wave,” he said, himself smiling and waving.

Her Majesty

Smiling and waving has got me through all sorts of situations since – tantrumming children, broken boilers, dead guinea pigs, plummeting oestrogen, et cetera, et cetera. It is the piece of mental-health advice I go to above all others, the thing that keeps me sane when all else is failing. But it is only recently that I have realised who is really responsible for this priceless piece of guidance. Not that counsellor, as dear as he is to me. Not a self-help guru or psychological expert. No. It’s the Queen.

It's the Queen

The Queen is… well, the queen of smiling and waving, isn’t she? I realised this as I watched her at her Platinum Jubilee, standing on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, despite the obvious discomfort of her 96 years. There is a tendency among younger generations – and I include myself in this – to see the Royal family as symbols of the repressed stiff upper lip that has been such a barrier to good mental health in this country.

Platinum Jubilee

But my mind changed as I watched The Unseen Queen, the incredible BBC documentary narrated by the monarch herself, featuring previously private home footage of Her Majesty as a child and young mother. As I watched her skip through the fields of Balmoral and gulp back a cup of tea almost as big as her 10-year-old head, I realised that the Queen isn’t buttoned up. She’s just – in the parlance of Instagram influencers everywhere – boundaried.

The Unseen Queen

I’ve watched it several times now and, on each occasion, I am struck by a sort of lightning bolt of spiritual enlightenment: the Queen has more to offer us in terms of life advice than any of the self-appointed wellbeing gurus who now litter social media and popular culture. It’s all there in this 76-minute documentary, a veritable treasure trove of guidance for those feeling slightly adrift.

A Spiritual Enlightment

Here she is on raising children: “As with any team, there is strength in combination”; and here she is on the importance of inclusivity, way back in 1947 during her first visit to South Africa, long before any of us understood the concept of “woke”: “We share the same world, but we do not share the same opportunities. A tolerant society actively develops the people that belong to it, and enriches their lives because it values their diversity.”

We Share The Same World

Here is a woman who could have got lost in glitz and glamour, but who instead shares the qualities of all great spiritual leaders, from the Dalai Lama to the Pope: she knows that no one person is better than any other and that she is but a vessel for something far bigger than herself. “We are all visitors to this time, this place,” she says at one point during the film. “We are just passing through. Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to love. And then we return home.”

Our Purpose Here

The Queen talks of faith in the future and the need to remove fear and in just a few simple words she passes on a message that spiritual teachers such as Eckhart Tolle and Deepak Chopra have dedicated their entire lives to spreading. “I have lived long enough to know that things never remain quite the same for very long.” Queen-speak, that is, for the most Instagrammable quote of all: This too shall pass. I was touched by her sentiments on doing service for others – another concept that is crucial in the treatment of addicts.

Faith In The Future

“We sometimes think the world’s problems are so big that we can do little to help,” she said. "On our own, we cannot end wars or wipe out injustice. The cumulative impact of thousands of small acts of goodness can be bigger than we imagine.”And when she talks of her late husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, she may as well be summing up the key to life: “His sense of service, intellectual curiosity and capacity to squeeze the fun out of any situation were all irrepressible.” I had not thought of the Queen as a mental-health icon before, but now I cannot stop. Long may she smile and wave over us.
