<ul><li>It is a natural human trait that when you get to know something that you did not know, it brings much joy to you.</li><li>If learning is making people miserable, then we have not understood what learning is.</li><li>If the thirst for knowledge is kindled in the child, you cannot stop him from learning, he is going to learn anyway.</li></ul>

Learning

<ul><li>The pressure is only because you are putting two absolutely unique beings in comparison.</li><li>Is there one more person exactly like you on this planet? No. There is only one like you. So each being is an absolutely unique being.</li></ul>

Stop Comparing

Stop Racing

<ul><li>We want to teach the children how to use their brains, not just to read and write. Reading and writing are important, but using your brains is more important.</li><li>Education should stimulate your brain, not dull your brain.</li></ul>

Use Your Brain

<ul><li>Intelligence twisted out against our own wellbeing is no intelligence</li><li>Intelligence is the biggest blessing that a human being has, but right now it has become a curse upon humanity simply because the human being is nocoming out as a well-coordinated being.</li></ul>

Real Intelligence

<ul><li>Our educational systems have become 100% informative - there is no inspiration.</li><li>Without inspiration, no human being raises beyond the limitations in which he lives.</li><li>Making the whole education system purely informational has caused an enormous damage, and that time of life when you are youthful, when you are capable of many things, that span of life unfortunately goes to waste simply because the necessary inspiration is not there.</li></ul>

Role Of A Teacher

<ul><li>A criminal is also concerned about human wellbeing, but his idea of humanity is just himself.

Human Wellbeing 

Only when we are inspired, we go beyond and do things that human beings wouldn't normally do.

Sadhguru in this book (discourse)  takes a dig at the modern education system and points out that inspiration is missing in today's education and elaborates the need for inspiration in education. 

In this book, Sadhguru answers probing questions, discussing the state of modern education and the need to inspire a child to reach his or her true potential.

Inspire Your Child Inspire Your World (eBook)

First and foremost, kill the biggest culprit. Social Media Apps. Only use social media in the browser or on a computer only.Everybody knows these apps are designed to keep you glued to your screen. On an app, rewards are high and friction is low. However, using a mobile/computer browser offer considerable friction, and thus you can resist temptations more easily.Delete the Instagram app and then use Instagram in a mobile browser. See the difference.Maybe when you are going to be away from your PC for more than a day, it is okay to reinstall them.

1. Delete Social Media Apps

This goes without saying. Phones are not made for video games, at least not for three consecutive hours of PUBG.Not only does it waste your time plus a smaller screen as compared to that of computer, puts extra strain on your eyes.If you really want to get some fun out of your smartphone install games like puzzles, chess, or similar brain games.

Delete Games

Just like a cluttered desk, a cluttered home screen can distract in many ways. You decide a write an email, but instead of clicking on the Gmail icon you see the beautiful icon of Twitter and you click it just to get some highlights. An hour later, your email is still waiting for you while you have posted three tweets and reacted to seven tweets.Delete all icons and shortcuts from your home screen so it goes completely blank. It should only display your beautiful wallpaper. In this way, you are less likely to be tempted to click an app icon.

3. Clean Your Home Screen

This piece of advice is thrown out a lot these days. And I agree with this. Using your smartphone before going to sleep feels really great. However, this 15 minutes of quick check can easily turn into two hours of social media, news, and video games.If you really need to use them at night, keep a chair in your bedroom and use them sitting on the chair rather than in bed.Remove all electronic devices to transform your bedroom into a true sanctuary for sleep. No TVs, no iPads. No Kindles with backlights — Make Time

4. No Screen in Bed

Set computer and mobile time limits. Install apps that track the amount of time you spend on your devices.At the end of the day look at your total time. See where you could cut back and fill in with some non-screen activities.Find alternatives to your mobile. Start taking notes in your notebook instead of a note-taking app. Instead of using a to-do app, make the to-do list on a piece of paper.

5. Set Screentime Limits and Find Alternatives

Attitude Is Everything

If you rely on an alarm to wake up, don't use your phone, opt for an old-school clock insteadIf you use your phone as an alarm, you could be tempted to at least peek at your emails, notifications or the news. You’re already letting someone else dictate what’s on your mind first thing. If you find a message from your boss, you can go straight from slumber into panic mode, where your heart is racing.Once you’re in that mode, it’s difficult to kick back into a more relaxed, contemplative, intentional state

1. Start with waking up right

It doesn't have to be long and emotional. It can be as simple as being thankful for having a bed, a roof over your head or having running water. You can wake up and be aware of what you already have — and be present. You might still have a stressful day ahead of you but studies over the past decade have found that people who consciously count their blessings tend to be happier and less depressed.

2. Count your blessings 

Think of 1 to 3 things that you want to accomplish today and that, crucially, you “can realistically get done.” Prioritizing your intentions in this way can help you cope with the stress, give you a sense of direction and a sense of accomplishment as you knock every single item off your list.Debra Swan,a Chicago-based health coach who works with clients around the US suggested writing them down so you aren’t holding them in your head.

3. Set simple goals that you can accomplish for the day

“If you don’t have a routine yet, start small and simple so you can be successful,” -Debra SwanLike having a glass of water first thing in the morning. Its an incredibly simple habit that has an immediate payoff: it hydrates you and can also give you a sense of accomplishment, and in that way, it can be a gateway to other healthy morning habits. "Do that for a couple of weeks, then try adding some stretching, etc.” - Debra Swan

4. Start a simple daily routine that you CAN actually do

Figure out what it is you’re looking to feel more of in the morning and then put on something that helps you get there: like a quick guided meditation or a calming song when you want to feel more relaxed or your favorite upbeat tune if you wanna feel more energized.

5. Have a soundtrack for the day

Exercise releases endorphins, which can be a great stress reliever. This is individual to the person so it can be short and sweet. Just fnd something that works for your mornings like a quick stretch if you're pressed for time, rather than something like a 5K run that you’ll never get to and then feel bad about.

6. Get that body moving to release endorphins

The key here is to figure out what you CAN actually get done at the moment with the time and resources that you have and start from there; rather than going for something big right off the bat and not be able to do it or hit the ground running and loose steam midway. That will make you feel like you have not accomplished anything. Start with baby steps; though slow they add up quickly and create big changes that creep up on you.So write a list of baby steps you can take later today, tomorrow and each day for the rest of your life because life is a journey, not a destination.

Dream big, start with baby steps and get it done.

Because starting something big right off the bat is daunting and can be discouraging. Start with baby steps to hit your strides.

Follow these simple, expert-backed hacks and inject your a.m. with a little calm and confidence.

6 Easy Changes to your Morning Habits To Help You Get Your Life Together

Many people question their work, perhaps after a life change or when their job fails to challenge them. However, after the two years of the pandemic, more people are rethinking their careers. A vast career coaching industry emerged to help people find a new direction and gain the skills to set and achieve their goals. But career coaching is primarily unregulated and can be a significant expense.

The coaching industry

We will consult specialists to plan our finances or trainers to help us get fit, but most people don't use that kind of strategy for their careers, causing them to be caught in a miserable situation they've carved out for themselves. Coaching used to be preserved for upper management, but there's a growing recognition that everyone can benefit from coaching programmes and advice. A coach can see patterns and behaviours and question the status quo. They can help you to see new possibilities.

Career coach can help you out of a career rut

Coaching is not therapy and also differs from mentoring. Coaching guides someone along their self-discovery journey. A coach enables you to find your career goals. First, they help you reflect on where you are now in your career, what you found most rewarding or challenging, where you felt most energised or frustrated, and where you want to be. Then they help to find the best path to get you there.

Coaching is not therapy

Identifying the right coach is vital as coaching is deeply personal. <ul><li>Ask around for personal recommendations.</li><li>Talk to two or three coaches to see if you connect.</li><li>Explore a coach's social media account.</li><li>See if they belong to a professional organisation: It means they have a specific amount of training, have committed to a code of ethics, and regularly update their knowledge base.</li></ul>

Finding the right coach

More people turning to career coaches to chart next steps – and get out of a "prison" of bad jobs. What’s realistic to expect from these professionals?

Read What Interests You

Researchers studied that there are several effects of reading:<ul><li>reading just 6 minutes a day slows down your heart rate and make you feel relaxed. </li><li>reading for 30 minutes a week will make you feel 20% satisfied in life. </li><li>30 minutes of reading is as effecting as 30 minutes of yoga. </li><li>reading can increase your life expectacy by 2 years!</li></ul>

Read At Least An Hour Every Week

Challenges are one of our biggest motivators. When you challenged yourself to read a number of books a year, you’re hyped to finished (or even surpassed) the task! 😉

Try Reading Challenge 📚

Learn to let go of a book that doesn’t resonate with you. If you don’t find yourself hooked by reading about one-third of the book, chances are, you’ll never gonna finish it anyway.﻿

You Can’t Connect With Everything You Read

Try the advice from the book “How to Read a Novel” by John Sutherland:“Read the 69th page of any book and if you find the page captivating, then read the book; else, drop it, as the odds are you’ll not like it.

Often, people stop reading because they have other priorities and interests. But reading is so beneficial that rebuilding the habit is crucial. And when only 4 steps are required, it's even easier.

Rekindling Your Lost Joy Is Not As Difficult As You Think

The main motivator to begin a project is urgency. When the problem can wait until tomorrow, you'll never start today. The three-step process to start today:<ol><li>Identify the conflict: "I'll never succeed."</li><li>Define the solution: "Do this every day."</li><li>Explain why you must start today: "I need sixty comics for my meeting in two months."</li></ol>

Use Goal Urgency 

January 11, 2022 — Big projects are intimidating, but how motivated would you feel if tomorrow was no longer an option? Ever since I spent 3,000 hours on a daily comic challenge in 2019, the one…

How to Start That Big Project You’ve Been Dreaming Of

We live in the now culture: We expect our online order to be delivered within a day. We know within minutes what events are taking place. We expect instant answers to our questions. When it comes to success, people assume that they can reach it the same way, then get unhappy if it doesn't. However, success is not meant to be instant.

Success takes time

Success that happens faster than your personal and professional growth won't be sustainable because you won't be in the position to deal with that success. Look at lottery winners. Studies show that 70% of them end up broke within seven years because they could not handle billions of dollars. For success to be sustainable, you need to become the person who can handle success—for example, rubbing shoulders with other successful people, public speaking, leadership skills, overcoming your fears.

The cost of overnight success

What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.

Personal and professional growth is as important as the ability to build a business. You should always grow as an individual otherwise your business will stagnate or regress. Find a coach or mentor to help set some goals for personal and professional growth. Consider the following areas:<ul><li>Interpersonal skills: Basic communication, dealing with conflict, or negotiation skills.</li><li>Leadership training: Decision-making, learning how to mentor and teach others, delegation skills, public speaking, risk-assessment.</li><li>Strengthening mindset: Releasing beliefs that hold you back.</li><li>Life balance.</li></ul>

Be Grateful Your Business Isn't an Overnight Success

With developments such as Covid-19, income inequality, and political polarisation, the demands on our energy are surpassing our capacity. Four zones describe our energy levels:<ul><li>The performance zone. When your energy is high and positive.</li><li>The survival zone. When your energy is high, but you're feeling threatened or devalued.</li><li>The burnout zone. When your energy is low, and you feel helpless or exhausted.</li><li>The renewal zone. When your energy is low but positive.</li></ul> Many are spending their time in the survival and burnout zones. However, using certain practices can help to avoid these zones.

Understanding the energy quadrants to manage energy

A marathoner needs a measured pace where you can't push yourself to the limit. However, a sprinter can use 100% of themselves in every race and only stop when they've crossed the finish line. People function best when they alternate between spending and renewing energy. Two of the most beneficial sources of regulation are:<ul><li>Sufficient sleep - seven to eight hours.</li><li>Exercise that raises your heart rate.</li></ul>

Become a sprinter, not a marathoner

Self-judgement is because we allow our inner critic to make us feel less. Then we turn our judgment on others to try and feel better. But moving between the two extremes make us forever try to prove our worthiness at the expense of ourselves and others. When you notice those feelings arise, try to only notice them without judging yourself.

Replace self-observation for judgment

If someone or something triggers a surge of negative emotion in you, take a deep breath and notice where in your body you feel tension. Just noticing your emotion allows you to distance yourself from your reaction. Then turn your attention to becoming relaxed.

When you feel bad, it's not the full picture

Think about a person, place, animal or activity that makes you feel safe and secure. When you're in a difficult situation, use these steady sources of support.

Create a sage space for yourself

Take up something you enjoy for its own sake. What activity do you love and have given up on, but you could do it as a source of renewal for an hour or two a week?

Take up a hobby

Care and empathy is a powerful source of self-regulation and healing. While we all long to feel valued and seen by others, we can't guarantee they'll do that for us. But we can appreciate others, and in turn, it always makes us feel better about ourselves.

Make someone else feel valued

Understand yourself and those around you.

What to Do When You’re Stuck in the Survival Zone

Every business loves the idea of purpose. However, a study showed that purpose is more nuanced. Purpose only has value if you use it. A survey of 474 executives found that almost every executive thought purpose was important, but less than half said it was a driver in their strategic and operational decision-making. However, organisations that prioritised purpose saw ten per cent growth over three years.

Purpose only has value if you use it

<ul><li>Make it doable. The value of purpose lies in actually using it. Purpose must be something you can understand and put to use at every moment.</li><li>Co-create it. You can't mandate purpose; everyone should own it. However, when purpose is actively used, it motivates, clarifies, and guides.</li><li>Make it central. Purpose must extend to the entire team. It should be present and central to daily decision making.</li></ul>
