10 Breakthrough Technologies 2022

During the 1st and 5th century CE, the Hindu sage Patañjali started to codify the meditative traditions practised throughout India into 196 manuals called the Yoga Sutras. These texts described yoga as 'yoking'  (restraining) the mind from concentrating on external objects to reach a state of pure consciousness. With time, yoga became part of physical activities, from gymnastics to wrestling.

The history of yoga

Although there are many approaches to modern yoga, three core elements of Patañjali's practice remains:<ul><li>Physical postures</li><li>Breathing exercises</li><li>Spiritual contemplation.</li></ul> The combination of physical and mental exercise is believed to have a unique set of health advantages, such as increased strength and flexibility, improved heart and lung function, and psychological well-being.

Remaining yoga practices

Like other low-impact exercises, yoga's physical postures stretch multiple muscle groups. Stretching can make these muscles, ligaments, and tendons more elastic by changing the water content. Regular stretching stimulates stem cells which change into new muscle tissue and other cells that generate elastic collagen. Regular stretching also reduces the body's natural reflex by constricting muscles, improving pain tolerance.

Yoga improves fitness and flexibility

Studies show that yoga reduces pain and improve mobility in patients with a variety of musculoskeletal disorders. Adding yoga to other exercise routines can improve strength and flexibility for conditions like chronic lower back pain, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoporosis. Yoga's combination of physical exercise and regiment breathing is therapeutic for lung health. It relaxes the muscles constricting lung passageways and improve oxygen diffusion.

Yoga as therapeutic tool

One big claim is that yoga improves symptoms of depression and anxiety disorders, but there's little conclusive evidence of how yoga affects mental health. However, there is evidence to suggest that yoga can reduce stress and help with relaxation.

What makes morality unique is that a lot of times, people experience a moral judgment as a flash of intuition or feeling, good or bad. But underneath that feeling is complex moral psychological structure.We think that our morals are steadfast, as if they were set in stone or inscribed in ink, but it turns out our morals are far more fluid than we'd like to believe.Morality might seem like a compass needle, always guiding us north, but as we start to add information and context that trigger biases, the needle begins to spin.

Steadfast Morals, Flashes And Compasses

Moral cognition depends hugely on context, so if someone tells us about a person who helped a stranger, we would say they're much better than the person who helped their brother. But if that someone told us about a person who helped the stranger instead of their brother, we wouldn't think they're very good at all. It turned out through research that we really did that, that it was really people's intuitions about familial obligation that structured people's moral intuitions across all of these different cases.

Context Magnetizes The Morality Needle

We may say adultery is wrong, but if it's a friend who we know well, who had a troubled marriage, maybe we're more forgiving. We say stealing is wrong, but we might be more understanding of our favorite politician when they're caught lining their pockets. We do this all the time.The point is that there are lots of different contextual influences that contributes to people's moral judgments.

We Often Move The Needle Too

Morality has evolved with our species because of humans' practical and psychological need for social bonds, but even early human societies began codifying a morality into laws and norms that were meant to be applied universally.The evolutionary origin of morality is coordination or cooperation to help people get onto the same page by pointing to common normative principles that we can use to negotiate relationships, to organize interactions across many different social contexts.

Moral Laws Were Born To Facilitate And Advance Social Bonds

Back in evolutionary time, we didn't interact with others across the world; only with the people in our family, the people that we could see. It's because of that that we have developed these sorts of biases that have to do with social distance: we think that the harm that is being done up close and personal, right in front of us, matters more than the harm that is being done across an ocean.So it shouldn't surprise us that the biases our minds exhibit are pragmatic. The moral judgments we make about people close to us are more forgiving and nuanced than the judgments we make of strangers.

So, Moral Laws Treat Different Bonds Differently

When we examine the moral judgments of others, it's tempting to think that we live in different worlds, but there's only one. The challenge today is that our social contexts are far more global and complicated, so can our sense of tribal morality evolve to encompass people outside of our tribe?Studying moral psychology allows us access to others' perspectives, to the fact that others could have different values, and so just knowing that there is this complex space of moral psychology could help us to understand where other people are coming from.

There’s Still A Tribe. Just A Very, Very Big One. 

We're all connected in some way. Between any two people in the world, there's some common value or experience. Finding that commonality could be the best path towards a more morally-consistent world.

Let’s Find The Commonality And Fix Our Moral Compass

We rarely question our own moral compass. But do we really know what shapes it?

People rarely question their own moral compass. But do you know what shapes yours?

Your Moral Compass Could Be Brocken

Breathing deeply in through the nose, into the belly and slowly out through the mouth is a very convenient and powerful tool for relaxing your mind and body. Doing this whenever I feel stressed really helps me.

Deep Belly Breathing

Notice emotions, thoughts, and other sensations (sounds, smells, temperature,... ) without judging them or pushing them away. Try to sense where and how you feel the emotions in your body.

Being in nature can improve your mood. Just take a walk, or go for a bike ride, lay on the beach or in the park and notice little details that nature has. The sound of a bird, the texture of a leaf, the freshness of the air - notice these things and be grateful for the experience.

Appreciating Nature

Take a look at the boundaries in your life. You don't always have to do things for other people. Prioritize your own health, time and needs. Saying 'no' is often the healthy response when you know that what is requested or expected of you would stress you out or drain your energy.

Establishing Boundaries

Be spontaneous and do things just for fun not because of what you gain by doing that or because something is the rational thing to do. Try to sense what you really feel like doing in that moment and just do it.

Be like a child 

A healthy body allows the mind to be healthy. Exercise, eat nutritous foods and get enough sleep.

Treat your body well

Trauma often seems as this extreme experience that only people have to deal with that went through horrible events. However, there are more and less severe traumatic experiences. While it can be hard to acknowledge your own trauma it can be really helpful to understand why you mind is the way it is. It is important not to judge and rather witness the emotions that come up.

Understand your own trauma

Fear is supposed to prevent you from getting hurt but sometimes fear is irrational and not helpful. When you understand what you are afraid of and why your are afraid of it the fear is not needed anymore. This gives your mind the opportunity to heal.

Understand your fears

This book helped me understand my own emotions and helped me improve my mental and physical wellbeing. Here are some of the ideas that I found particularly important.

How to Do the Work

It’s about quality rather than quantity.So, what areas of personal growth do you like to improve?Take a look in your vegetable patch and see what’s growing there now. Identify what is serving you and what is holding you back. Nature abhors a vacuum so if you remove those stinging nettles and bindweed, you will make space for strawberries, aubergines, or whatever brings you joy.If you aspire for personal growth, then you have to focus on yourself. Here are five areas of personal growth and how to improve them.

Personal Growth 

The strategies that you have adopted in the past have become your default settings. Many of these learned behaviors were set in stone during childhood, and you unconsciously trust these strategies because they have worked in the past.Self-awareness will help you recognize these knee-jerk reactions. In some cases, you may perceive them to be perfectly appropriate and benign, while in others, you will realize the opposite.The trick is to simply see them as they are, give thanks for what they’ve achieved in the past, and with the clarity you are now experiencing, choose another way.

Self-Awareness

One thing we humans love is control—to be in control. Or, at least, we love the idea of being in control. We tend to link control with safety.The important thing is what we focus on. What is it we want to be in control of? What are we in control of?Answer is, ourselves. Nothing more, nothing less. Of course, external factors are important in our lives, but what’s most important is how we respond to them, how we perceive them, and how much of our power we give to them. All this important work is done inside.If you want to be in control, focus on your thoughts, your beliefs, and your values.

Control

When we allow something that “happens” to disturb our peace, we give away our power. If you let it trigger you negatively, your emotions are like a ship at sea with no engine power.Recognize your emotion—frustration, disappointment, blame, self-pity, or whatever—and focus on it for ten seconds. Acknowledge it, respect it, and let it go. Release it into the ether, and keep your emotional channels clean. Acceptance is the friend of peace. So, if you aspire to improve areas of your personal growth, don’t say “no” to things, say “yes,” accept, and get on with your life.

Acceptance

What we resist persists.

How well do you know yourself?The quote “what other people think of me is none of my business” has been attributed to countless famous people. It can be tempting to compromise who we are for the sake of being accepted by others. If you want to know yourself, you need to dig deep and find your authentic self—the real “you.” Listing your core values is a useful way to start. Consciously knowing your values will ground you, empower you, and enhance your self-confidence.By knowing yourself, you can establish where you are, where you want to be, and how to get there.

Knowing Yourself

“Basic self-confidence has less to do with a high estimation of one’s abilities than with the underlying capacity to express needs and desires without fear of being abandoned as a result.”

Part of the personal growth process of acceptance is to accept what you don’t know.Humans tend to seek solace in knowledge. Indeed, a significant amount of “knowledge” and “certainty” is, in reality, just opinions.To be able to accept what we do not know is a significant step; it allows you to let go and trust, which can remove stress and anxiety. Simply surrendering yourself to whatever is happening and may happen in the future is a liberating experience and when you stop investing energy in futile efforts to “control”, you’ll be amazed at how your physical energy levels will increase.

Not Knowing

Awareness, inner control, acceptance, and true knowledge will enhance your journey to improving different areas of your personal growth. Only by knowing yourself can you grow yourself.

Final Thoughts

If you aspire for personal growth, then you have to focus on yourself.

Personal growth isn't like GDP. It's about quality rather than quantity. Here are 5 areas of personal growth and how you can improve them.

Execute with Excellence

Think about different kinds of leaders for a minute. Ever notice that leadership styles vary dramatically? Some leaders seem to genuinely come across as caring about the broader people whom they represent—and they seem trustworthy, altruistic, and kind. On the other hand, some leaders seem kind of scary—selfish, intimidating, and even ruthless.History tells us that there are definitely different pathways toward success and toward achieving leadership positions. And this basic story speaks to the fact that there are different pathways toward success in life more generally.

Different Paths, Same Outcome

As is found in so many life forms, humans seem to demonstrate something called strategic pluralism when it comes to patterns of behavior. In short, strategic pluralism speaks to the fact that there is often a plurality of strategies that can lead to success in all kinds of contexts.When it comes to natural selection, the engine that drives the nature of the living world, it is often the case that multiple phenotypes (observable features of an organism) emerge to address various selective pressures (i.e., things that tend to impede survival and/or reproduction).

Strategic Pluralism

Some male wood frogs find success in the mating market by having large bodies and effectively attracting female wood frogs with their deep calls, while other (often smaller) male wood frogs find themselves successfully mating via an alternative route: by hiding in the bushes near a large male wood frog and mating with females who are attracted by the calls of the larger male. The latter is a sneaky strategy, for sure—but it often works.

A Quick Example From The Natural World

The same goes with humans when it comes to broad social strategies in terms of how we treat others. People vary from one another in terms of how truly other-oriented versus how dispositionally selfish they are.In the human experience, there are multiple pathways to success. Some successful humans have reached the top by gaining the respect and admiration of others by being truly other-oriented, genuine, and kind. On the other hand, many successful humans have reached the top by lying, cheating, intimidating, and stealing.

The Other-Oriented And The Self-Oriented Succeed Just As Well

In recent years, work in the field of personality psychology has found that there are reliable and measurable individual differences in terms of the degree to which people tend to employ a dark strategy when it comes to dealing with others versus a light strategy in dealing with others.

There Simply Is A “Dark” Strategy And A “Light” Strategy

As is the case with wood frogs, these two different behavioral strategies in humans seem to each have the capacity to lead to success. Under some conditions, an all-out selfish approach leads to success in life—largely via tactics such as intimidation and bullying. In other conditions, a genuinely other-oriented approach has the capacity to boost one's social reputation and open the door for all kinds of success in life.In other words, across evolutionary time, nature has selected both selfish and other-oriented approaches to dealing with others in life.

To The Natural World, There Is Just “Success” Strategy

From this perspective, we can think of two broad paths to success in life. A selfish approach to life, for better or worse, can have its merits when it comes to success. History is full of all kinds of figures who found success by moving simply toward their own selfish goals. On the other hand, humans evolved in small, tight-knit communities in which social reputation mattered quite a bit. In this context, demonstrating genuinely other-oriented, caring behaviors has the capacity to facilitate one's own success in an ultimate sense.

The Inevitable Two Broad Paths To Success

Human behavior is complex—people utilize a broad suite of behavioral strategies in their efforts to succeed in life. Based on the principle of strategic pluralism, it turns out that multiple—and often wildly different—strategies have the capacity to lead to successful outcomes.

Success Is Personal. Strategic Pluralism Is Natural. 

﻿Knowing all this, when it comes to the strategy that works best for you in life, realize that there are choices to be made. Sure, a self-serving approach to life might lead to all kinds of success, but it often does so at a cost to the welfare of others. On the other hand, a genuinely other-oriented approach to life has the capacity to also facilitate one's own success while, at the same time, cultivating the success of others and of one's broader community.

Choices Are Personal. Consequences Are Natural. 

Via eons of evolutionary pressures, both strategies have made it into the human behavioral repertoire. In large part, the strategy that you utilize as you navigate the obstacles of life is up to you.

Nature Allows For Equifinality. And Selection. And Extinction. 

When you have a challenge and the response is equal to the challenge, that's called success. But once you have a new challenge, the old, once-successful response no longer works. That's why it is called a failure.

Nobody ever did, or ever will, escape the consequences of his choices.

We humans have evolved a broad suite of social strategies that solve all kinds of adaptive problems. Some of us succeed by sheer and ruthless selfishness, while others of us succeed by gaining reputations as truly compassionate and caring for others. In either case, success is not final and in neither case is success final.

Some succeed through all-out selfishness while others succeed by truly caring.

Top 5 Ideas To Change Your Perception

Realize deeply that the present moment is all you have. Make the ‘now’ the primary focus of your life.

Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness.

Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.

The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it.

You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.

Whatever you fight, you strengthen, and what you resist, persists.

People don’t realize that now is all there ever is; there is no past or future except as memory or anticipation in your mind.
