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.

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.

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.

Communication

The Queen is my mental health icon

<ul><li>No, we do not need to identify with it 24/7.</li><li>When we identify with the self, we live in fear, anxiety, stress, and suffering. When we are able to identify ourselves with that which has no boundaries, there is no fear.</li></ul>

Do We Need the Self?

<ul><li>Having no particular, fixed view means seeing that all views are limited, that no particular view is the only view.</li><li>“Actually, the right view is no view.”</li><li>Imagine six blind guys who have never seen an elephant before and are each touching a different part of the big old animal, describing what an elephant is. The first blind man grabs the tail and says the elephant is like a rope. The second one grabs the leg and is certain it's like a pillar. The third touches the trunk and thinks it's a tree branch. The others all have different perspectives.</li></ul>

Right View

<ul><li>Ken Wilber likes to talk about “partial truths”.</li><li>No one is smart enough to be either 100% right or 100% wrong.</li><li>There's always a partial truth to a perspective-no matter how limited.</li><li>We get in trouble when we think our perspective is always right.</li><li>It is important to shift perspectives consistently.</li></ul>

The Limitation of Thinking Your Perspective is the Absolute Truth

<ul><li>It doesn't matter what gear you're stuck in, if you can't shift as life demands, your car is dysfunctional. Same with our lives.</li><li>When the mind is stuck, you're in dukkha (usually translated from the Sanskrit as suffering), which literally means a wheel whose hub doesn't move.</li><li>Experience sukkha, a liberated wheel, a freed-up wheel, which means liberation, nirvana.</li></ul>

A Maserati Stuck in First Gear

<ul><li>A company where no one knows their job title, job description, or what they're supposed to be doing is going to be a company in suffering, in shambles.</li><li>It's hard to run a company when you don't know what your employees' jobs are.</li></ul>

A Dysfunctional Company

<ul><li>Genpo leads us through a systematic dialogue with a number of our “key employees” to get a sense of who they are, what they do, and what's important to them while we clarify their roles.</li><li>Every aspect of the self has its own innate wisdom.</li><li>If we would simply allow every voice to be heard, to be appreciated, and to be honored, we as human beings would live a much healthier, happier, and joyful life.</li><li>By denying or suppressing any aspect, we are creating a problem both for the self and for others.</li></ul>

Integrated Feminine/Masculine Compassion

One is nurturing and supportive. The other is ruthless and decisive. BOTH are essential for an integrated compassion.

Feminine and Masculine Compassion

“I include all the aspects of the self, all the dualistic voices and Big Mind, the non-dual, no-self, and I transcend them. I am also known as the Master, or the Unique Self. I am absolutely unique, there is no one else in the entire world exactly like me. I have no need to prove anything or to be special, since I am special and unique to begin with.”

“That’s the beautiful thing, that’s the secret: to want what you get rather than trying to get what you want, because that seems like a never-ending battle, and a losing battle at that. We seem to always get what we need, though. So when we want what we get, it’s really like wanting what we need.”

“I am the True Self. In other words, I am the one that truly transcends. The Non-Dual is still not truly transcendent because somehow it sees itself as better or greater than the dual, which is still very dualistic. I embrace desires and seeking and fear and distinctions. I embrace them all, but I am not bound by them, I’m not attached to them. I can have a desire, and drop the desire if it’s not fulfilled… I don’t get stuck anywhere.”

<ul><li>“Can you imagine a world where everybody was free, happy, and joyful, where everybody came from a place of generosity and giving freely without any strings attached? Can you just imagine this world? It’s almost impossible to imagine, it would be such a different place.</li><li>Well, that’s our work. That’s what we’re here to do. That’s what this book is all about. If enough of us can get to that level of consciousness, I believe the whole planet, would be transformed.”</li><li>That’s the Voice of Generosity.</li></ul>

Can You Imagine?

Here we will explore some of Genpo Merzel's ideas, including how the root of suffering (dukkha) is getting stuck in one perspective and how that is as effective as having a Maserati stuck in first gear.

This book presents a highly original and accessible pathway to self-discovery and personal liberation. Since 1999 the Big Mind process has been experienced by many thousands of people in seminars across America. Big Mind employs a Jungian voice dialogue technique that enables people to step out of limited self-concepts into awareness of their many different sub-selves (emotions/mental states). In addition to exploration of the more familiar sub-voices like anger and fear, author Zen Master Dennis Genpo Merzel uses this technique to help people access the ever-present Big Mind/Big Heart awareness - the clear, 'just being' awareness and the unconditional compassion that we all can experience. The Big Mind process is now available in book form to bring readers of all backgrounds many benefits including: access to our innate wisdom, compassion and equanimity; openness of mind and ability to shift perspectives; greater presence and empowerment; and appreciation for the wisdom within all of our many sub-selves even ones we tend to dislike or disown, like fear and anger.

Big Mind, Big Heart

Tech neck is the hunch you develop from staring at your phone too much. The Australian Chiropractors Association claim that bending your head to use a phone stresses the spine. For example, let’s say you hold your phone at an angle that makes you lower your head by 60 degrees. That adds about 27kg (60lbs) of weight through your spine.

Tech neck is only two years old

Phones have harmed us in a few ways: A pain in the neck, phone thumb (where your thumb can become inflamed from prolonged texting), the blue light that can interfere with melatonin production, and eye strain from prolonged use. However, the posture problem is easy to correct.<ul><li>Use a simple stretch, where you interlock your fingers behind your head and hold your elbows against a wall.</li><li>Or you could try holding your phone at eye level to reduce the pressure on your spine.</li><li>You could always try not using your phone as much.</li></ul>

Tech neck: what are smartphones doing to our bodies?

In many parts of the world, there’s a deeply ingrained belief that sunny days make us feel more cheerful. It seems like common sense, but the scientific evidence is surprisingly equivocal.
Yes, there are individual studies supporting the link – for instance, in 2013, researchers at the Freie Universität Berlin reported that people surveyed on exceptionally sunny days felt more satisfied with life than people surveyed on cloudier days.

How The Sun Influences Our Mood

Flipping things around, even the idea that many of us are more prone to depression in the gloomier the winter months (known as ‘seasonal affective disorder’) is controversial. While too much sunshine is undoubtedly bad for your unprotected skin, sunlight exposure is also beneficial in many ways because it allows the body to create more vitamin D, which can <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/07315724.2015.1039866">reduce the risk of cancer</a> and <a href="https://www.karger.com/Article/Abstract/441266">lower blood pressure</a> among other health benefits.

Just The Right Sunlight

Morning exposure to <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2352721817300414">sufficient daylight</a> is also important for entraining the circadian rhythm, which is important for healthy sleep. So, while excessive sunbathing is unwise, so too is closeting yourself indoors without any sunlight at all.

The Morning Sun

It's worth making the most of the sunshine, but be sure to keep your skin protected.

Deciding to take your side hustle full time or thinking about starting one is not an easy choice, especially if you’re stuck in a job and you feel you should stay simply because you’re lucky to have one right now.Emergencies fast-forward history — personal, political, and societal. Decisions that in normal times could take years of deliberation are passed in a matter of hours during a crisis.

A Job Vs Your Own Thing

If you’re stuck in a job, should you stay simply because you’re lucky to have one or take a risk on your passion project? If you’re just entering the workforce, should you spend time competing for a role or focus on building a business of your own?There are many factors you need to weigh before making these decisions.

Time To Decide

If you have a business idea in mind but you aren’t sure that it’s addressing a real problem, you might end up spending your time and energy building the wrong thing. Great businesses are built on deep insights. Consider if you truly understand the unmet needs of the customers or community you are serving and if you have enough data to validate your idea.Ask yourself:<ul><li>Does the customer really see this as a problem?</li><li>Will it make their life better?</li><li>Would they be willing to pay for it?</li></ul>

The Passion Project Solving a Problem

Even after you validate your hypothesis, you need to test your minimum viable product (MVP). Simply put, an MVP is a functional prototype with just enough features to convey your idea in its simplest form. The goal is to build something that your customer can actually use so that they can give you critical feedback on what’s working and what’s not.

The Product Or Service Actually Working

In essence, you want to use this stage of product development to a) build a community interested in what you have to offer and b) figure out a business model that serves their needs based on their feedback. Doing this will empower you in two ways: First, it will help eliminate the gap between your product development and revenue generation. Through your MVP, you may have opportunities to make a decent revenue before officially launching. Second, you can use any revenue you do make to help you build the next version of your product or service.

Using The Early Stage Of Development

1,000 true fans, or unique customers reached organically, is an alternative path to success other than stardom. Instead of trying to reach the narrow and unlikely peaks of platinum bestseller hits, blockbusters, and celebrity status, you can aim for a direct connection with a thousand true fans. On your way, no matter how many fans you actually succeed in gaining, you’ll be surrounded not by faddish infatuation, but by genuine and true appreciation. It’s a much saner destiny to hope for. And you are much more likely to actually arrive there.

The Starting Goal: 1000 Customers

Your goal doesn’t necessarily need to be to build the next Google or Facebook. And even if that is your goal, you still need to figure out how to get those first 1,000 people to pay for what you are building if you want to succeed. It may sound easy but getting people to pay for a product requires substantial grit, especially if you don’t have investors on board.

You Cannot Be Google In Step 1

Quitting your full-time job to start a company is like proposing marriage on the first date. … The most durable businesses are typically started by people who play it safe.

Risk-taking is often glamorized by touting isolated examples of moonshot successes, but the best entrepreneurs are those who are able to figure out the optimum risk-reward ratio that works for them.As an entrepreneur, you need to understand what you’re inherently good at and like to do and what you need help with. You don’t need to possess all the skills required to run a business, but you need to be able to find people with skills that complement your own to help you realize your dream.

Managing A Business

Deciding to take your side hustle full time or thinking about starting one is not an easy choice, especially if you’re stuck in a job and you feel you should stay simply because you’re lucky to have one right now. Utkarsh Amitabh was working a full time job and balancing his side hustle, Network Capital until recently. In June this year, he decided to take a risk on his passion project and quit his job. In this personal essay, Utkarsh shares how he went about making the decision and highlights the questions you need to weigh in on: 1) Is my passion project solving a problem? 2) Does my product actually work? 3) Have I reached at least 1,000 customers, or can I? 4) Do I really have the skills and resources required to manage a business right now?

Should You Choose Your Passion Over a Paycheck?

Mindfulness is simply focusing and guiding your attention. And while it may sound easy, it isn’t just a pop culture buzzword. It’s one of the best ways to help your brain adapt to and manage stress.“This is not just some passive breathing exercise. It is a significant brain-training resource, Achieving control of your thoughts so that your thoughts don’t control you can be a super-power for many people.

The best way to capture moments is to pay attention. This is how we cultivate mindfulness.

Live the actual moment. Only this actual moment is life.

Wisdom says we are nothing. Love says we are everything. Between these two our life flows.

When you’re feeling frazzled, put all of your attention on the breath. It’s a portal into the present moment, the best remedy for stress.

Mindfulness clears the windshield of the mind so that we can see things as they really are.

Mindfulness is a simple practice, but not an easy one … but you are worth doing hard things.

Practicing a mindful moment in the middle of the day, helps to bring you back to center, reset, and move into the rest of your day with greater clarity and focus.

Nothing is forever except change.

Be where you are, otherwise you will miss your life.

For what it’s worth, it’s never too late to be whoever you want to be. I hope you live a life you’re proud of, and if you find you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start over.

The only way to live is by accepting each minute as an unrepeatable miracle.

Mindfulness quotes inspire and motivate, and sending them as reminders can even be a valuable intervention. Here are 76 powerful ones!

Mindfulness In Uncertain Times

The number of articles published on the effects of mindfulness has grown exponentially in recent decades and has revealed the significant benefits that mindfulness-based interventions can have for our ability to feel and express our emotions. However, there are some limitations to this dataStudies have mainly focused on short-term outcomes of the MBSR program and have not assessed the long-term impacts beyond the end of the intervention. Researchers rely on self-report measures, which could mean that participants alter their responses based on how they think the researchers want them to answer

A Look at the Mindfulness Literature

Allowing your feelings to come and go and take time with them [means] that you’d be able to let that first negative response happen, be with it, and then say ‘Ah, this could also be positive.’

When we're facing uncertainty, mindfulness skills may help us to interpret emotional situations as more positive, a recent publication shows.

Can Mindfulness Change How We Interpret Emotional Situations? - Mindful

Often when we’re caught up in a loop or overthinking, we aren’t aware of it. It seems like the right thing to do, to keep thinking about this thing that’s worrying us. But to break out of the loop, we have to notice we’re in it. Signs that will point out to you that you’re in a loop:  For many people, it’s a rising amount of anxiety or worries, an inability to sleep, and an inability to focus. For others, it might be a desire to lash out at someone or to plan or otherwise get control. The key is just to notice you’re in it.

Notice

Once you’ve noticed, the magic trick is to look beyond the thing you think needs to be solved … to the fear underneath. It’s like not looking at the hand the magician is trying to direct your attention to, but to the other hand that is hiding the coin. Don’t look at the object of your thoughts or the problem you need to solve … but the fear that’s having you want to obsess and overthink. What are you feeling right now, in your body?

Turn toward the underlying fear

Before we let go of the overthinking, we have to be with the feeling of fear that’s in our bodies. Otherwise, it’s like trying to calm a freaked-out child by ignoring them. What if instead we could be with the fear and relax with it, so it can relax? Can you feel the fear, as sensation, and stay with it? Can you breathe deeply and slowly, so you can slow your heartbeat and relax with the fear? Can you bring curiosity towards it? If it’s challenging, you might think of it as being with your heart.

Be with the fear

Ask what your fear could use right now — some compassion, some music, a nice cup of tea, journaling or a walk? Then ask what’s needed in the situation you’re overthinking — what’s the simplest thing that you could do here, what’s the simplest way you could speak from the heart? Then trust that, breathe, and move to the present moment.

Ask what’s needed

What’s something right in front of you that you could focus on?It might be the light in the room, nature, or another person. Or it might be answering an email or writing a blog post.
