This is the central tenet in Buddhism.

These five are nonlinear. They are a multiplicative series (not an additive one) and if you take one away the rest fall apart

Life is only available in the present moment.

You can practice mindfulness meditation by sitting still, focusing on your breathing, and practicing bare awareness: staying aware of what’s going on in your mind and body at the present moment.That's difficult because we’re constantly surrounded by distractions. Our minds jump from topic to topic like a monkey swinging from branch to branch. The monkey mind is hard to control, but you can pacify it by practicing Buddhism. And once you reach a high state of self-control, you’ll find yourself in the Zone.Athletes enter the Zone when performing at the highest level.

Mindfulness helps us reach our peak potential and be our best selves.

In 2013 playoffs, people caught LeBron James sitting courtside with closed eyes, focusing on his breathing You can enter a state of relaxation by controlling your breathing, think of the space between an inhalation and an exhalation as your inner center, where your watcher watches everything. Our breathing works in tandem with 2 other parts of our autonomous nervous system. 1st is the sympathetic system, which is activated by fear, anxiety, and stress. The 2nd is the parasympathetic system. It releases the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which lowers our heart rate and makes us more relaxed

Concentrate by focusing only on your breathing

Scrutinizing the thoughts behind your habits is like looking under the hood of your car, rather than just staring at the dashboard.Everyone has a unique collection of emotional blueprints, which includes their insecurities and other negative emotions. It’s important to be aware of them because the negative ones can build up and burst out in negative actions. Practicing mindfulness means letting go of who you think you are. So accept negative emotions like anger or resentment for what they truly are: fleeting distractions that shouldn’t define you.

Insight is about understanding your own thoughts and the impact they have on your life.

I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career, lost almost 300 games. I’ve failed over and over again in my life. That’s why I succeeded.

Bruce Lee is a famous example. Martial artists like Lee use their intuition to connect with the Zone. They focus on the journey, not the final destination.So when your actions align with wholesome, positive thoughts like love, kindness, compassion, and generosity, that’s the right kind of effort for your path.Another important part of reaching your maximum performance is letting situations play out by themselves. Mindfulness is about knowing yourself and focusing on the present, but you have to forget yourself again if you want to reach your highest possible performance level.

The right effort is about focusing on the journey and letting the situation you’re in run its course.

Faith is related to the concept of “God” a word that means different things to different people. But the idea of God is really about trusting the divinity within yourself. We all have it and we have the potential to awaken it. It doesn’t come from the external environment; you find it by looking within.Trusting in yourself instead of looking for guidance from others fosters your own self-efficacy. Mindfulness allows you to connect with higher forms of consciousness, and you can build a strong spiritual foundation by practicing it.

Unlock your full potential by trusting yourself and your inner divinity

It gives you the right type of energy and motivation to push through and succeed. Attention always follows intention and you have to put out into the universe what you want to receive. Keep listening to yourself, your body, your thoughts, your emotions, but deeply listening to others is as important of a skill. It helps in finding your intention and in helping others.

The intention is incredibly important

In the sense that they are optimizing for flow and optimal cooperation rather than simply beating the other team. It is a “we” mindset rather than a “me” mindset and one that is focused on growth rather than outcome. Right effort heightens energy rather than detracts from it – it allows you to be present and to become one with those who are working with you on the task at hand.

The best teams are inwardly focused

Filling yourself with love and awareness removes space for distractions, negativity, and noise. This is the space you want to get into to be mindful athlete

The all-star adviser to athletes like Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan shares his revolutionary, mindfulness-based program for elevating your game “George helped me understand the art of mindfulness. To be neither distracted or focused, rigid or flexible, passive or aggressive. I learned just to be.” —Kobe Bryant Michael Jordan credits George Mumford with transforming his on-court leadership of the Bulls, helping Jordan lead the team to six NBA championships. Mumford also helped Kobe Bryant, Andrew Bynum, and Lamar Odom and countless other NBA players turn around their games. A widely respected public speaker and coach, Mumford is sharing his own story and the strategies that have made these athletes into stars in The Mindful Athlete: The Secret to Pure Performance. His proven, gentle but groundbreaking mindfulness techniques can transform the performance of anyone with a goal, be they an Olympian, weekend warrior, executive, hacker, or artist. When Michael Jordan left the Chicago Bulls to play baseball in 1993, the team was in crisis. Coach Phil Jackson, a long-time mindfulness practitioner, contacted Dr. Kabat-Zinn to find someone who could teach mindfulness techniques to the struggling team—someone who would have credibility and could speak the language of his players. Kabat-Zinn led Jackson to Mumford and their partnership began. Mumford has worked with Jackson and each of the eleven teams he coached to become NBA champions. His roster of champion clients has since blossomed way beyond basketball to include corporate executives, Olympians, and athletes in many different sports. With a charismatic teaching style that combines techniques of engaged mindfulness with lessons from popular culture icons such as Yoda, Indiana Jones, and Bruce Lee, Mumford tells illuminating stories about his larger than life clients. His writing is down-to-earth and easy to understand and apply. The Mindful Athlete is an engrossing story and an invaluable resource for anyone looking to elevate their game, no matter what the pursuit, and includes a foreword by Phil Jackson.

Why am I not progressing?

For people with borderline personality disorder socializing can be hard. People can say hurtful things so we can feel safer alone.

BPD And Solitude

When you feel safe consistently, you are able to focus on yourself. You can read about your issues, meditate, learn about all sorts of things. You can work on yourself, do DBT ( Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, the most evidence based therapy for personality disorders) and get to a point where you are more open to socializeagain.

Solitude Can Be Healing

When you are alone, you can be yourself. Do whatever you want, watch whatever you want. Embrace this freedom.

There Is Freedom In Solitude

Just because you are lonely today, it doesn't mean that you will feel this way forever. As you connect with yourself, loneliness can turn into content solitude. I lost myself in loneliness and found myself in solitude. Maybe it can happen to you too.

Loneliness Today Can Mean Solitude Tomorrow

As someone with BPD, solitude has been a big part of my healing. I went from being lonely to feeling content in my solitude.

Solitude and BPD go hand in hand, many times. It feels safer. No one can see me cry or be upset. No one can say hurtful things. Our house or our room is our cocoon where hopefully we can heal. It's hard to understand how sensitive we are. It can be hard to understand us.…

Understand yourself and those around you.

DISCIPLINE: The ONE WORD That Makes A Big Difference - (Motivational Speech)

Whether it’s taking fruit to work (and to the bedroom!), being polite to rude strangers or taking up skinny-dipping, here’s a century of ways to make life better, with little effort involved …

Background 

1 Exercise on a Monday night (nothing fun happens on a Monday night). 2 On the fence about a purchase? Wait 72 hours before you buy it. 3 Tip: the quickest supermarket queue is always behind the fullest trolley (greeting, paying and packing take longer than you think). 4 Bring fruit to work. Bring fruit to bed!

5 Consider going down to four days a week. It’s likely a disproportionate amount of your fifth day’s work is taxed anyway, so you’ll lose way less than a fifth of your take-home pay. 6 Everyone has an emotional blind spot when they fight. Work out what yours is, and remember it. 7 Plant spring bulbs, even if they’re just in a pot. 8 Send a voice note instead of a text; they sound like personal mini podcasts.

9 Keep a bird feeder by a window, ideally the kitchen. It’ll pass the time when you’re washing up. 10 Always bring ice to house parties (there’s never enough). 11 Get the lighting right: turn off the overhead one, turn on lots of lamps (but turn off when you leave the room). 12 Sharpen your knives.

13 Feeling sluggish at work? Try the <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/small-business-network/2017/aug/18/productive-at-work-neuroscientists-advice-multitasking">Pomodoro technique </a>: 25 minutes on, five-minute break, and repeat. 14 Buy a cheap blender and use it to finely chop onions (it saves on time and tears). 15 Keep your children’s drawings and paintings. Put the best ones in frames. 16 Set aside 10 minutes a day to do something you really enjoy – be it reading a book or playing <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/games/2021/dec/06/halo-infinite-review-old-school-blasting-in-sci-fi-dad-game">Halo </a>.

17 Don’t be weird about how to stack the dishwasher. 18 Reuse all plastic bags – even bread bags. Much of the packaging you can’t reuse can be taken to larger <a href="https://www.recyclenow.com/what-to-do-with/plastic-film">branches of supermarkets </a>for recycling. 19 Take a photo of the tag you are given when leaving your coat in a cloakroom. 20 Can’t sleep? Try a relaxing soak with lavender bath oil before bed.

21 Add the milk at least one minute after the tea has brewed. 22 Laugh shamelessly at your own jokes. 23 It might sound obvious, but a pint of water and two paracetamols before bed after a big night avoids a clanger of a hanger. 24 Start a Saturday morning with some classical music – it sets the tone for a calm weekend.

25 Look closely. 26 Set time limits for your apps. Just go to the settings on your smartphone and add a limit – for example, if you have an iPhone <a href="https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/iphone/aside/iph7e81fd7d8/15.0/ios/15.0">turn on Screen Time </a>. 27 If possible, take the stairs. 28 Always be willing to miss the next train.

29 Eat meat once a week, max. Ideally less. 30 Be polite to rude strangers – it’s oddly thrilling. 31 Ask questions, and listen to the answers. 32 Connect with nature: stand outside barefoot for a few minutes – even when it’s cold.

33 Join your local library – and use it. Find yours <a href="https://gov.uk/local-library-services.">here </a>. 34 Go for a walk without your phone. 35 Eat salted butter (life’s too short for unsalted). 36 Stretch in the morning. And maybe in the evening.

37 If you’re going less than a mile, walk or cycle. About half of car journeys are under two miles, yet these create more pollution than longer journeys as the engine isn’t warmed up yet.38 Sleep with your phone in a different room (and buy an alarm clock).39 Send postcards from your holidays. Send them even if you’re not on holiday.40 Instead of buying new shoes, get old ones resoled and buy new laces.

41 Buy a plant. Think you’ll kill it? Buy a fake one. 42 Don’t have Twitter on your phone. 43 If you find an item of clothing you love and are certain you will wear for ever, buy three. 44 Try taking a cold shower (30 seconds to two minutes) before your hot one. It’s good for your health – both physical and mental.

45 Text to say thank you. 46 Read a poem every day. Keep a compendium, such as <a href="https://guardianbookshop.com/a-poem-for-every-day-of-the-year-9781509860548">A Poem for Every Day of the Year </a>, by your bed. 47 Take out your headphones when walking – listen to the world. 48 Buy secondhand.

49 Buy in person! 51 If something in the world is making you angry, <a href="https://members.parliament.uk/">write (politely) to your MP </a>– they will read it. 52 Say hello to your neighbours.

53 Learn the basics of repairing your clothes. 54 Always bring something – wine, flowers – to a dinner/birthday party, even if they say not to. 55 Learn the names of 10 trees. 56 Call an old friend out of the blue.

57 Every so often, search your email for the word “unsubscribe” and then use it on as many as you can. 58 Buy a newspaper. (Ideally this one.) 59 Always have dessert. 60 Drop your shoulders.

61 Make something from scratch. Works best if it’s something you’d normally buy, such as a dress or a bag. 62 Go to bed earlier – but don’t take your phone with you. 63 Volunteer. ​​Go to gov.uk/government/get-involved for ideas. 64 Dry your cutlery with a cloth (it keeps it shiny).

65 Instead of buying a morning coffee, set up a daily transfer of £2 from a current into a savings account and forget about it. Use it to treat yourself to something different later. 66 Don’t save things for “best”. Wear them – enjoy them. 67 Sing! 68 Think about your posture: don’t slouch, and don’t cross your legs.

69 Hang your clothes up. Ideally on non-wire hangers (it’s better for them). 70 Skinny-dip with friends. 71 Switch your phone off on holiday (or at least delete your work email app). 72 Always use freshly ground pepper.

73 Thank a teacher who changed your life. 74 Respect your youngers. 75 Keep your keys in the same place. 76 Ditch the plastic cartons and find a milkman – <a href="https://themodernmilkman.co.uk/">The Modern Milkman </a>has a comprehensive list.

77 Rent rather than buy a suit/dress for that forthcoming wedding (even if it’s your own). 78 Always book an extra day off after a holiday. 79 Ignore the algorithm – listen to music outside your usual taste. 80 Mute or leave a WhatsApp group chat.

81 Learn a TikTok dance (but don’t post it on TikTok). 82 Cook something you’ve never attempted before. 83 Join a local litter-picking group. 84 Handwash that thing you’ve never cleaned.

85 Don’t get a pet/do get a pet. 86 Nap. 87 Learn how to breathe deeply: in through the nose, out through the mouth, making the exhale longer than the inhale. 88 Buy a bike and use it. Learn how to fix it, too.

89 Politely decline invitations if you don’t want to go. 90 If you do go, have an exit strategy (can we recommend a French exit, where you slip out unseen). 91 If in doubt, add cheese. 92 Don’t look at your phone at dinner.

93 Do that one thing you’ve been putting off. 94 Give compliments widely and freely. 95 Set up an affordable standing order to a charity. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jul/29/rnli-donations-soar-in-response-to-farages-migrant-criticism">RNLI </a>and <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/nov/27/successions-plot-twist-prompts-thousands-to-leave-money-to-greenpeace-in-their-wills">Greenpeace </a>spring to mind … 96 Keep a book in your bag to avoid the temptation to doomscroll.

97 Listen to the albums you loved as a teenager. 98 Make a friend from a different generation. 99 Staying over at a friend’s place? Strip the bed in the morning. 100 For instant cheer, wear yellow.

I definitely agree with some of these🤔 And am now inspired to make a list of my own!

Whether it’s taking fruit to work (and to the bedroom!), being polite to rude strangers or taking up skinny-dipping, here’s a century of ways to make life better, with little effort involved …

100 ways to slightly improve your life without really trying

Everyone can differentiate good and bad foods in general. But, what if the foods we naturally think is healthy or considered Ok to eat turns out to be the culprit for your weight gain, infertility and wrinkles all along the way!

Ladies! These 8 daily foods are destroying your health

For women, balancing their hormones and maintaining a healthy diet becomes very crucial during pregnancy and menopause. Some of these foods disrupt your hormone balance and others may even lead to chronic illness!

Food And Health

Yours Healthy - Healthy In and Out

If you login to Instagram right now and search for #depression, you’ll see a warning. It reads: “Posts with words you’re searching for often encourage behavior that can cause harm and even lead to death.”You can bypass this warning and see the tagged posts. Or you can click on a “Get Support” button that leads you to depression-focused resources or recommendations. The first of those recommendations is “Talk to a Friend.” It encourages you to call or text someone you trust.

Social media may be dangerous

According to reporting from CNET, Instagram and other social media sites first started to implement these warnings last year. They began by flagging content related to eating disorders and negative body image, and have since expanded the program to depression and other forms of psychological distress.The fact that social sites like Instagram are directing vulnerable people away from their platforms and toward real-world connections may not seem like a big deal. But it is a big admission.

The REPORT

For years, some researchers — notably Jean Twenge, PhD, at San Diego State University — have been trying to warn us that social media can be risky, perhaps especially for young people or those with mental health challenges. But social media’s defenders have often argued that these platforms allow vulnerable or marginalized people to connect with others like themselves, which is surely a good thing.This defense was always speculative. There is very little evidence indicating that social media-based support groups or communities are beneficial.

Advice From Experts

Also, researchers have found that members of vulnerable groups may feel better after spending time away from social media. For example, a 2020 study on LGBTQ youths who attended a social media-free summer camp found “across the board” reductions in depressive symptoms among those teens who’d spent the most time on social before attending the camp. “When we’re vulnerable we tend to reach out via social media, but those are also the times when social media may present the biggest challenges for us,” says Brian Primack, a professor of public health and medicine at the University of Arkansas.

Researches 

If you can’t stay away from social media, Primack recommends trying to limit your time on it as much as possible. If you’re a heavy user, trying to trim your habit to less than two hours a day may be beneficial, his research suggests.He also offers this advice: “Focus on small groups, including chat clusters with one or a few people at a time. This can help you focus on the people you feel closest to.” In other words, try to make your time on social media more like a real-world gathering with friends.

Questions That Help You Understand Yourself and Your True  Potential

Question Yourself

When you don’t take the time to understand yourself and who you are, your sense of individuality weakens. You become easily influenced and pushed into a lifestyle that doesn’t represent who you are. The good news is you can gradually transition into the life you want by periodically “checking in” with yourself – the better you understand yourself, the easier it will be to steer your life in the right direction.

Make sure you’re really an extrovert and not an introvert in an extrovert’s clothing.
