If you’ve ever been severely jetlagged or sleep-deprived, there’s a good chance that you have experienced transient depersonalisation. Think of it like an airbag for the mind - part of the body and brain’s natural response to stress. Depersonalisation is feeling like you’re ‘in a dream’ or ‘not really there’. Up to <a href="https://www.nami.org/About-Mental-Illness/Mental-Health-Conditions/Dissociative-Disorders">75 per cent</a> of people will feel so at least once in their lives, but it will mostly be fleeting and usually at a point of stress or fatigue. It's a normal response.

Depersonalization is common

<ul><li>Recognise the feelings as a normal & harmless part of the fight-or-flight response.</li><li>Don’t fight the feelings, focus on other activities. Trying to suppress thoughts makes them more constant. It's called the ironc process. Gently turning your attention away will allow those thoughts to fade away naturally.</li><li>Try focusing attention on the outside world (grounding). Watch your favorite show, do crosswords, or learn a new skill.</li><li>Exercise releases endorphins, generates a strong sense of accomplishment, promotes socialising, changes environment to break the negative thought patterns.</li></ul>

How to come out of depersonalization

If you feel detached from the world, you might be going through depersonalisation. Be reassured, there are ways to recover

Understand yourself and those around you.

How to cope when life seems unreal | Psyche Guides

Self-compassion is something we should be practicing every day, but the reality is that a lot of people struggle even to define what it means. Self-compassion is the act of noticing when you're struggling, recognizing that's actually part of being human, and being kind to yourself rather than beating yourself up.Self-compassion builds resilience , which helps us withstand the challenges of life. “It allows us to weather difficulty without sending us into a spiral of self-criticism or self-blame or shame.” That’s one way that it promotes psychological well-being.

Self-compassion Adds To Psychological-wellbeing.

Self-compassion is all about recognizing when you’re struggling and treating yourself with kindness. Here’s how mental health experts recommend getting better at it.

Death comes to everyone, it is better to be prepared and remember to live well while you are alive!

It is a natural human aspiration to live well, but what about dying well? Is there such a thing as dying gracefully? Sadhguru treads gently on this sensitive topic but leaves no stone unturned in exploring a vitally relevant subject.

How to Prepare for Death?

It turns out that waking up on the wrong side of bed could be more than just an idiom. It is said in the Yogic sciences that how one wakes up is a significant factor in deciding how one goes through the day. Here, Sadhguru shares four practical tips to ensure that you wake up the right way, for a healthy and joyful life.

How to Wake up Well - 4 Practical Tips from Sadhguru

“When the standards have been set,” Epictetus said, “the work of philosophy is just this, to examine and uphold the standards, but the work of a truly good person is in using those standards when they know them.” Pretty straightforward then: Define your rules. Live by them. In studying their writings for my own practice, I’ve compiled 50 rules from the Stoics, gathered from their immense body of work across two thousand years. These rules functioned, then, as they do now, as guides to what the ancients called “the good life.” Hopefully some of them will illuminate your own path.

1. Focus on what you can control. 2. You control how you respond to things. 3. Ask yourself, <a href="https://forge.medium.com/if-you-seek-tranquility-ask-this-question-1dd89993256f">“Is this essential?” </a> 5. <a href="https://forge.medium.com/theres-no-such-thing-as-quality-time-58db618c099d">Value time </a>more than money and possessions.

6. You are the <a href="https://dailystoic.com/the-power-of-habits/">product of your habits </a>. 7. Remember you have the power to have no opinion. 8. Own the morning. 9. Put yourself up for review. Interrogate yourself.

10. Don’t suffer imagined troubles. 11. Try to see the good in people. 12. Never be overheard complaining—even to yourself. 13. Two ears, one mouth f<a href="https://dailystoic.com/zeno/?mc_cid=28399a691c&mc_eid=47e85155f0">or a reason </a>.

14. There is always something you can do. 15. Don’t compare yourself to others. 16. Live as if you’ve died and come back (every minute is bonus time). 17. “The best revenge is not to be like that.” —Marcus Aurelius

18. Be strict with yourself and tolerant with others. 19. Put every impression, emotion, to the test before acting on it. 20. Learn something from everyone. 21. Focus on process, not outcomes.

22. Define what success means to you. 23. Find a way to <a href="https://dailystoic.com/amor-fati-love-everything-that-happens/">love everything that happens </a>. 24. Seek out challenges. 25. Don’t follow the mob.

27. Every person is an opportunity for kindness. 28. Say no (a lot). 30. Find one thing that makes you wiser every day. 31. What’s bad for the hive is bad for the bee.

32. Don’t judge other people. 33. <a href="https://forge.medium.com/why-you-should-study-philosophy-47c53fbc3205">Study </a>the lives of the greats. 34. Forgive, forgive, forgive. 36. <a href="https://dailystoic.com/journaling/?mc_cid=28399a691c&mc_eid=47e85155f0">Journal </a>.

39. To do wrong to one, is to do wrong to yourself. 40. Always choose <a href="https://humanparts.medium.com/will-you-choose-alive-time-or-dead-time-8d7b8ba212">“alive time.” </a> 37. Prepare for life’s inevitable setbacks. 38. Look for the poetry in ordinary things.

41. Associate only with people that make you better. 42. If someone offends you, realize you are complicit in taking offense. 43. Fate behaves as she pleases…do not forget this. 44. Possessions are yours only in trust.

45. Don’t make your problems worse by bemoaning them. 46. Accept success without arrogance, handle failure with indifference. 47. Courage. Temperance. Justice. Wisdom. (Always). 48. The <a href="https://store.dailystoic.com/collections/all-books/products/the-obstacle-is-the-way-signed-edition?mc_cid=28399a691c&mc_eid=47e85155f0">obstacle </a>is the way.

49. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Ego-Enemy-Ryan-Holiday/dp/1591847818">Ego </a>is the enemy. 50. <a href="https://store.dailystoic.com/collections/all-books/products/copy-of-ego-is-the-enemy-signed-edition?mc_cid=28399a691c&mc_eid=47e85155f0">Stillness </a>is the key. I’ll leave you with the one rule that captures all the rules. It comes from Epictetus: “Don’t explain your philosophy. Embody it.” Don’t talk about it, be about it. The whole point of Stoicism is what you do. It’s who you are. It’s the act of virtue, not the act of talking about virtue. Or reading about it. Or writing about it. It’s about embodying your rules and principles. Letting your actions speak for you. So, Marcus Aurelius reminded himself and now us, “Waste no more time talking about what a good man is like. Be one.”

“When the standards have been set,” Epictetus said, “the work of philosophy is just this, to examine and uphold the standards, but the work of a truly good person is in using those standards when…

“Live life as an experience of constant learning”In the moment we think we know, we stop being curious and, therefore, we stop learning. And it’s at this very moment that starts the beginning of the end for us.People that stop learning tend to be less tolerant, closed, and superb. They stop learning because they assume lots of things and they settle for the life they have; they dont aim for more, they dont have goals and ambitions.On the other hand, people that aspire for more and aren’t satisfied with their current life tend to have what is known as “the begginer’s mind”… <pre class="ql-syntax" spellcheck="false">
</pre>

Learning As A Way Of Living

People with this mindset tend to think of themselves as an entrant, someone that doesn’t know more than the basics of a topic, and therefore, they need to keep learning, keep asking questions and active their curiosity.If we adopt this mindset, we will be exposed to more information (as we always have unsolved questions) and we will be exposed to different ways of thinking, which makes us more tolerant, open minded people. It’s also demonstrated that people that think this way learn way faster and more amount of information than average.

“The Begginer’s Mind”

“Knowing that we don’t know is as important, if not more, than any other thing we can know” - Jon Kabat-Zinn.

El mundo en el que vivimos está lleno de incertidumbre y de cambios constantes. Además, todos nos enfrentamos en nuestra vida a grandes desafíos y dificultades. Es normal que nos sintamos frecuentemente abrumados y sobrepasados en el plano emocional, con altos niveles de estrés y de confusión. Por otro lado, la educación, la cultura y la sociedad en la que hemos crecido nos han ido moldeando y programando desde la infancia con una serie de ideas preconcebidas limitantes. Esto hace que vivamos una vida muy por debajo de nuestras posibilidades y que sintamos una infelicidad y un malestar que no comprendemos. La razón principal es que hemos perdido la conexión con nosotros mismos, y, como consecuencia, la conexión con la vida y con los demás. Reconecta contigo propone un mapa de ruta claro y poderoso para reconectar con nuestro verdadero potencial, con nuestra sabiduría y grandeza innatas. A través de las tres misiones de nuestra existencia (reconectar con uno mismo, reconectar con la vida y reconectar con los demás), descubrirás quién eres más allá de creencias o ideas limitantes, cómo puedes disfrutar de una vida plena y extraordinaria, y cómo puedes cultivar relaciones más auténticas y honestas con las personas de tu vida. Un viaje apasionante al centro de tu ser y al núcleo de la felicidad duradera.

Javier Carril

Reconecta contigo

We don't always believe things because they are correct. Sometimes we believe things because they make us look good to the people we care about.

The Logic Of False Beliefs 

Humans are herd animals. We want to fit in, to bond with others, and to earn the respect and approval of our peers. Such inclinations are essential to our survival. For most of our evolutionary history, our ancestors lived in tribes. Becoming separated from the tribe—or worse, being cast out—was a death sentence.

People are embraced or condemned according to their beliefs, so one function of the mind may be to hold beliefs that bring the belief-holder the greatest number of allies, protectors, or disciples, rather than beliefs that are most likely to be true.

False beliefs can be useful in a social sense even if they are not useful in a factual sense. We might call this approach “facutually false but socially accurate.” When we have to choose between the two, people often select friends and family over facts.

 Belief Over Fact

Convincing someone to change their mind is really the process of convincing them to change their tribe. If they abandon their beliefs, they run the risk of losing societies. You can’t expect someone to change their mind if you take away their community too. You have to give them somewhere to go. Nobody wants their worldview torn apart if loneliness is the outcome.The way to change people minds to become their friends, to integrate them into your tribe, to bring them into your circle..Now, they can change their beliefs without the risk of being abandoned.

Facts Don't Change Our Minds. Friendship Does

When it comes to changing people's minds, it is very difficult to jump from one side to another. You can't jump down the spectrum. You have to slide down it. The best place to ponder a threatening idea is in a non-threatening environment. In conversation, people have to carefully consider their status and appearance.They want to save face and avoid looking stupid. When confronted with an uncomfortable set of facts, the tendency is often to double down on their current position rather than publicly admit to being wrong.

The Spectrum Of Beliefs

Silence is death for any idea. An idea that is never spoken or written down dies with the person who conceived it. Ideas can only be remembered when they are repeated.They can only be believed when they are repeated.People also repeat bad ideas when they complain about them. Before you can criticize an idea, you have to reference that idea. You end up repeating the ideas you’re hoping people will forget—but, of course, people can’t forget them because you keep talking about them. The more you repeat a bad idea, the more likely people are to believe it.

Why False Ideas Persist

If the goal is to actually change minds, then criticizing the other side isn't the best approach.Most people argue to win. People often act like soldiers rather than scouts. Soldiers are on the intellectual attack looking to defeat the people who differ from them. Victory is the operative emotion. Scouts, meanwhile, are like intellectual explorers, slowly trying to map the terrain with others. Curiosity is the driving force.If you want people to adopt your beliefs, you need to act more like a scout and less like a soldier.

The Intellectual Soldier

When we are in the moment, we can easily forget that the goal is to connect with the other side, collaborate with them, befriend them, and integrate them into our tribe. We are so caught up in winning that we forget about connecting. It's easy to spend your energy labeling people rather than working with them.

Be Kind First, Be Right Later

Always remember that to argue, and win, is to break down the reality of the person you are arguing against. It is painful to lose your reality, so be kind, even if you are right.

Why don't facts change our minds? This article explains the logic of false beliefs and proposes a better system for constructive conversation.

AWAKE

Try to Meditate. meditation is the best word for the title. it can stop us from thinking about the world such as jobs, problems, etc. for a while. it is simple, but not easy to get out of this world.
