Creative People Attract Creative Activity

Some days, you open your eyes in the morning and feel empty. The freshness of the air disappeared. And you can’t understand your role in your circle of friends anymore.Are you necessary? Will they forget about you if you don’t show up for a few days? Or would they remember and miss your company?A few years ago, I woke up one morning and felt like a wave in the sea – insignificant. I had nothing special to share with people. I wanted to find a way to show my uniqueness. Change is what I needed. So, from that day, I kept searching for ways to find my identity and stand up in front of the herd.

How To Discover Your Unique Traits

Every journey is different. But on your way to finding your uniqueness, you will eventually start reading about it.I started with self-improvement, body language, social skills, and seduction. Here are the books I would suggest to start with:<ul><li>The Slight Edge, by Jeff Olson</li><li>How to Win Friends and Influence People, by Dale Carnegie</li><li>What Every Body Is Saying, by Joe Navarro</li><li>Models, by Mark Manson</li></ul>And I have to say the latter helped me more than I would like to admit. It changed my perspective forever.

The Uniqueness Journey

My longest relationship finished a few months before I read Models. So I wanted to get back in the seduction game. But I was rusty. Or better, I sucked in the seduction game. So, I needed a step-by-step book that could push me ahead. In Models, Manson doesn’t focus on tricking girls as many seduction gurus do. And I liked it. He suggests, instead, to find your unique style and story and use it to attract people.People criticized me for my changes, sometimes even my family. But I never turned back. And today, everything I have started with my hormones wanting to get laid.

The Impact of Models

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:<ul><li>a challenge to pursue to improve your life</li><li>an infographic to track it.</li></ul><a href="https://cosmopolitanmindset.substack.com">Subscribe </a>now to help me continue publishing this type of content.

The Challenge

Finding your uniqueness is a slow process with many experiments involved. But people don’t like changes. So, get used to the critics. Your friends will feel uncomfortable with your new you, and they will try to push you back. Some of them may leave. The ones who matter will stay. But that’s not important because you will find many friends on your path.The key to finding your uniqueness is to change one small thing at a time. And observe how people react to it.If they try to push you back in the herd, it means it’s working. And if you insist, they will accept and respect you for who you are.

But let’s talk business now.Trying things out is the best way to become unique. Eventually, you will find something you like. And people will recognize you for it.But how do you find those things? How can you build your uniqueness? Where should you start from?Here are some ideas of things I did in the past.

How to Find Your Uniqueness

Who am I?Ask anybody this question, and they will answer with the first thing that comes to mind. It doesn’t matter which. But keep asking it, and they will finally start to think about their answer.So, who are you?Answer this question five, ten, twenty, and fifty times until you find something that truly represents you. Each of us has a unique story and a distinctive path in the future. So, search for your roots and <a href="https://www.cosmopolitanmindset.com/the-hidden-reason-you-havent-found-your-life-purpose-yet/">find your purpose</a>.

1 – Start from your roots (1)

Here are a few ideas on how to find and build your story:<ul><li>Never answer with a place if somebody asks you where you lived in the past. Describe your youth and how you grew up instead. </li><li>Don’t tell people how old you are. Tell them why you love or hate your birthday. </li><li>Nobody cares where you are working or studying. Show people why you love or hate what you are doing. </li></ul>So, always focus on the purpose instead of the mere description. And you will find your uniqueness.

1 – Start from your roots (2)

Strong desires and purposes are irresistible. And hearing someone talking about their dreams with such strength and courage, it’s captivating.When I was younger, I envied those people because I couldn’t find something that I liked that much. Eventually, I found a passion that gave me the same feelings, and the envy stopped. So, search for a purpose and focus only on that.Finding your passion is the first step. But your job doesn’t end there. You must explore it too.

2 – Explore your passions (1)

Suppose you are talking with a person for the first time. You ask them what they like, and they say they enjoy watching sports. Any sport? Football.Nice. Now, run away. Don’t waste your time with people who don’t know what to say about their passions. You have to avoid this from happening to you. So, find a passion and make it specific. Understand why you like it and why it improves your life.People don’t have time to listen to you saying nothing. But they will find it if you catch their attention with your uniqueness. And your passions are one way you can feed it.

2 – Explore your passions (2)

Manson’s best advice in Models is to be vulnerable and show it. People prefer to connect with someone who has his weaknesses instead of those who hide them.Perfect people are annoying. They stink because we can never trust them. And we don’t like those who try to trick us. But by opening up to critics and vulnerabilities, you will become irresistible.

3 – Show your vulnerabilities (1)

There are many reasons why it happens. Let’s see the main ones.<ul><li>You could use your vulnerabilities for self-irony. And self-irony is ten times better than making fun of somebody else. People will never trust those who make too many jokes about others. So you better avoid it and focus on yourself.</li><li>Common weaknesses make people empathize with you. And if you learn to express your flaws, they will think you are unique because they can identify with your struggles.</li></ul>

3 – Show your vulnerabilities (2)

Nobody likes rules. They are boring and annoying. And they limit our freedom and creativity. For this reason, people with different values and morality are attractive. The novelty of their ideas seduces us. And we find them unique.Therefore, break from conformity if you want to be unique.Try things people don’t do. Find your look away from the fashion of the moment. And don’t be afraid to talk about your tastes. Stand your ground and share them even if they are unconventional.

4 – Break from conformity (1)

I remember the first time I wore a black shirt covered in colorful flowers. My friends made fun of me. They wanted to return me to their comfort zone, but I didn’t give up.Today, my floral shirts became who I am. My wardrobe is full of colors. And people recognize me for my unique style. They even ask me where to buy them. But I never saw one of them wearing one. And that’s when you understand nobody dares to challenge your uniqueness. So, break from the conformity around you:<ul><li>with your opinion and ideas,</li><li>with your jokes and way of being funny,</li><li>with your style,</li><li>and with your vulnerabilities.</li></ul>

4 – Break from conformity (2)

Find your uniqueness and experiment with it. Start with your roots. Learn to explore your passions. Show your vulnerabilities. And, at last, break from conformity.[DOWNLOAD THE FREE INFOGRAPHIC ON <a href="https://cosmopolitanmindset.substack.com/p/discover-your-unique-traits">THE CHALLENGE</a>]

Quotes that have made me think

Choose to show up for yourself, and then actually do.

When you are truly at peace and in touch with yourself, and nothing anyone says or does bothers you, and no negativity or drama can touch you.

Unfuckwithable : 

To have this “unfuckwithable” attitude is to be invincible from the fears that limit you. Like when you have to do something big, you've got to be prepared for criticisms and rejections. That's why the bravest people in the world are those who can do incredible things despite the unbelievers.

● Have written goals so you know what you want to accomplish and where you want to go.● Let your life be guided by internal principles not external circumstances.● Never take criticism from someone not doing better than you are. What the hell do they know?● Internet trolls are losers, always ignore them. ● Never waste any time or energy on someone that has already made up their mind.

How To Be UnF*CkWithAble:

● You don’t have to prove anything to anyone but yourself. ● Be a life long student and don’t let your ego control your reactions when you have a lesson to learn. ● Always become competent in something before you try to be confident. ● Emotions are great servants but terrible masters.

● Let logic, reason, math, and science be your guide through life. ● Diversify your life between finances, health, peace, happiness, relationships, and career so no one area can ruin the rest of your life. ● Cut your losses fast but let your winners run. ● You don’t have to listen to financial advice from broke people. ● You don’t have to listen to relationship advice from people that are not in a good relationship.

● You don’t have to listen to nutrition advice from unhealthy people. ● What people think about you is none of your business and they should keep it to themselves. ● You have nothing to prove to anyone if you have faith in yourself. ● Maintain multiple streams of income so no one source can control you. ● Be more valuable to your employer than they are to you. ● Always remember you can fire your boss just like he can fire you.

● Always value your time correctly. ● Stay out of debt to maintain your freedom of choices. ● You always have a choice if you can accept the consequences. ● Don’t waste your life living it for someone else. ● Stay close to people who care about you and have your back. ● Some people will try to manipulate and control you for their own purposes, don’t let them. ● Don’t listen to people that have no skin in the game of your life. You have to live with your choices so you get to make them.

Life is too short for bullshit.Sometimes you just have to say “F*ck You” to all the naysayers and live your life the way you choose.

"The greatest act of self-love is to no longer accept a life you are unhappy with"                                                     Book: THE MIDDLE FINGER PROJECT:Trash Your Imposter Syndrome and Live the Unf*ckwithable Life You Deserve.                                                                            By Ash Ambirge

How To Be UnF*CkWithAble

Every essay in this book emphasizes the importance of your mindset. How you see the world around you, how you view and deal with your problems and what attitude you have towards life and yourself dictates how you feel and act - and ultimately the quality of your life and experiences.

Your Mindset Is Everything

Your problem is never the actual problem. The main problem you have is the way you look at it and how you deal with it. Your problems show you, what you need to work on and once you climbed that mountain, you will be much stronger and understand why things happened the way they did. Challenges lead to growth.

Problems Are Blessings

Have you ever been anxious about something you didn't care about? Probably not. You are only anxious about the things that matter to you. See your anxiety as an indicator for what is really important to you.

Your Anxiety Shows What's Important To You

Imagine a world where everyone is blind. What about you will impress the people around you? How will they view you?This is my favourite takeaway from the book, because it beautifully shows that none of all these materialistic things and outer looks really matter. What is of true importance is how you interact with the people around you, your character and your personality.Focus on how your life feels instead of what it looks like.

A World Full Of Blind People

...is what you secretly hate about yourself! You simply ignore and suppress these things which is why you are often not aware of them.At the same time, what you love about other people, is usually what you love about yourself!So in order to figure out what you like or dislike about yourself, take a look at how you react to the people around you.

What You Hate About Other People

Every feeling you experience is okay. You can only appreciate happiness once you experienced sadness. In fact, people that are happy all the time and that never experience negative feelings are mentally unhealthy. Feel your negative emotions but don't give them too much significance or they will hold you back.

All Feelings Are Valid

These are my personal key takeaways from this book.

Three D's of success 

A summary of a video published by Liam Porritt on YouTube. Introduction-Feeling exhausted and down can be a common experience, especially when dealing with the pressures of work and life. However, there are effective habits you can adopt to help lift yourself out of such ruts. In this article, we will explore four powerful habits that have been derived from successful individuals, books, and podcasts. These habits can significantly improve your mood and productivity. Let's dive into these life-changing habits.﻿

Four Simple Habits To Boost Your Mood And Productivity

One of the most important but often overlooked habits is the ability to say NO. In a world where we're encouraged to say "Yes" to every opportunity, it's crucial to recognize when saying "no" is the right choice. If a request doesn't elicit a "hell yeah" response from you, consider declining it. It's important to prioritize your own well-being and not overextend yourself. By saying "no" when necessary, you can avoid burnout, exhaustion, and maintain focus on your own priorities.<ol><li>Prioritize self-care over overcommitting.</li><li> Remember that your career is a marathon, not a sprint.</li></ol>

Habit No 1 : Say No

Helping others can be a powerful way to lift your mood. When you're feeling low, it's easy to become preoccupied with your own problems. However, small acts of kindness can provide a sense of community and perspective. Research shows that helping others can lead to positive changes in your immune function and lower stress levels. Simple gestures, like sending a thoughtful email or sharing a treat, can make a big difference.●	 Help others to help yourself.●	 Foster a sense of community and connection.

Habit No 2 : Get Your Helpers High

Treating yourself is more than just indulgence; it's a scientifically proven way to boost your mood and self-control. To make these treats even more effective, actively acknowledge them as treats. Whether it's enjoying a favorite coffee, having a leisurely morning, or savoring a delicious pastry, consciously relish these moments of self-indulgence. By doing so, you can nurture a sense of self-love and self-care.habit ●	 Treats boost your energy and contentment.●	 Consciously appreciate these moments of indulgence.

Habit No 3 : Decide To Treat Yourself

The practice of Memento Mori, reflecting on your own mortality, can be a powerful tool for gratitude and perspective. Combining gratitude with the awareness of the impermanence of life can help you cherish what you have and overcome day-to-day challenges. By briefly considering the possibility of losing the people and things you value, you can gain a profound appreciation for their presence in your life.●	 Combine gratitude with the awareness of life's impermanence.●	 Use Memento Mori to put everyday challenges in perspective.

Habit No 4 : Practice Momento Mori

These four habits are simple yet incredibly effective in improving your mood and productivity. By learning to say "NO"helping others, treating yourself, and practicing gratitude with the awareness of life's impermanence, you can shift your perspective, boost your mood, and lead a more fulfilling life. Remember, taking care of yourself and prioritizing your well-being is not only essential but also a gateway to achieving long-term success. So, start incorporating these habits into your daily routine and watch as your life takes a positive turn."

But with these habits especially, they really don’t take much effort, but they do require a consistent consciousness of how you are working. So, try to keep each of these in mind as you get ready for, and then during, each of your work sessions 🫶
