<a href="https://dictionary.apa.org/doctrine-of-formal-discipline">Formal discipline theory</a> led to views that learning Latin and geometry were important, even if few students would use these skills in their lives, because by their formal character they acted as the ideal dumbbells for mental strength training. Training on one task didn’t help much with training on dissimilar tasks. I<a href="https://research-methodology.net/the-principle-of-identical-elements/">dentical elements theory</a> suggested that in order for training in one skill to apply to another, the two problems must share common elements.

The Narrowness of Acquired Ability

Provided a person has the ability to see the correspondence, the problems “three times three” and “3 x 3” are the same, even if they look different. In short, an idea, as a more abstract, general notion, can influence your thinking on a wider range of problems than a procedure you memorize.

What About Ideas?

<ul><li>We need to be able to recognize the idea in different contexts</li><li>We need to be able to modify the idea to suit our current purposes.</li><li>We need all the specific skills of implementation.</li></ul>The easy-to-spot ideas in a field may really just be the tip of an iceberg of invisible <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacit_knowledge">tacit knowledge</a>. Wanting skills that float freely of any specific use, we may end up making ideas that are detached from all uses.

The Power (and Weakness) of Ideas

Few keys to acquiring more broadly useful skills:<ul><li>Breadth comes from specificity. All general skills are built from specific knowledge and procedures. There’s no shortcut.</li><li>Deeply understanding ideas helps. While not a panacea, deeply understanding more abstract ideas extends the useful range of your knowledge. But this only works if you really understand it.</li><li>Visible knowledge is built on invisible skill. The ideas and facts depend on skills which are hard to spot. Recognizing where an idea applies and modifying it for your purposes.</li><li>Practice in a range of real situations.</li></ul>

How Do General Skills Get Built?

How do you learn skills not just for one problem, but for many? Subjects that don't just matter in school, but in real life?

The Science Behind Building General Skills | Scott H Young

When you work towards your happiness, you work towards bringing yourself back to the present moment.Because happiness lives in the NOW.Rest all is non existant.

A strange sense of tranquility, a feeling of peace within, the awareness of being in the moment, I don't know what it's called...but this feeling comes and goes and when it stays, we want that state of awareness to stay forever. LET'S CALL IT 'THE JOY OF BEING PRESENT IN THE MOMENT.' With ZERO thoughts about the past and the future. Just being in the now. Right now! Totally focused on the moment.

HAVE YOU EVER FELT THIS FEELING?

You realize that the moment is silent, calm, a whole different world or the "REAL WORLD".All of this while, we were living inside of our heads, in a world that is non-existant, a world that is full of noise, chaos, confusion, worries. Dwindling in the past or the future. But once we start living in the real world, the silent moment of "Being in the moment", that's mindfulness.

IT'S AN AMAZING FEELING

You know, this feeling of BEING IN THE MOMENT was very strong during our childhood days. Fewer worries. More focus on the now, in fact, we had mastered the art of mindfulness when we were young. Remember how much we felt the slightest tinge of happiness even while gazing at the blue sky, how much excited we felt jumping over the puddles during the rainy days, or getting up after a really bad fall and playing football forgetting all our pain and bruises behind.

REMEMBER OUR CHILDHOOD DAYS?

The word 'loneliness' was nonexistent. However 'solitude' was something which we definitely enjoyed. Awareness! Isn't it true? As we grow up, we forget the inner child within us. We start seeking companionship in others before finding the companionship in ourselves FIRST! We fear being alone because we think being alone is equivalent to being lonely and being lonely is equivalent to becoming lost in the past or the future.

The word 'loneliness' was nonexistent

<ol><li>Take a step back from social media. Yup, a social media detox is a must!</li><li>Become mindful about the things that you feed your brain. Remember you become what you feed your mind. Try to avoid reading stuff that brings in negativity like reading or watching the news first thing in the morning.</li><li>Exercise! Run, play outdoors, let your body move!</li><li>Talk out to your beloved ones.</li><li>Listen or even dance to your favourite music</li><li>Eat your favourite chocolate! You can reward yourself with your favourite food once you complete your task of the day!</li><li>Journal and write down the things that you are grateful for.</li></ol>

So how to enjoy "solitude" and practice being in the moment?

I can list down n number of ideas....BUT TO SUM THAT UP....DO THE THING THAT MAKES YOU HAPPY! YES, YOU HEARD THAT RIGHT! IF THERE WAS AN UNFINISHED ARTWORK, FINISH IT NOW! If there was someone whom you've felt talking to for a long time, go ahead, reach out to them! In short, when you work towards your happiness, you work towards bringing yourself back to the present moment.Because happiness lives in the Now! And so do you! So now if I ask you to rate yourself from 1 to 5...It must definitely be a 5 on 5! HIGH 5!

The list goes endless..

"This is a friendly reminder that you would only get limited time on earth, today is a good day to make something great"

I think we should enjoy each and every moment happily whether it's sad or happy if we develop this kind of thoughts and add it to our personality we are unique 😊🤘

Happiness and life 

If nothing else, death is a constant reminder of the fragility of life. It is a reminder of our existence and the time we have. Through death, we are reminded of why life is so valuable. But the hardest pill to swallow is that we, like everything else in life, must pass.

By knowing that death is imminent for all, we can learn to view death as a reminder of life. While death is scary and unknown, it is not yet here for us, and this means we still have today. By keeping this in mind, we have supreme power and control over our lives, our actions, and the direction we wish to go in. We have gratitude for our existence and the existence of those close to us. Every day that we wake is another opportunity to take action on our lives.

The time we have in this world is finite and it is our most valuable resource. With each passing day, we inch closer to death. But that does not mean our lives are meaningless. On the contrary, one could view this with excitement and understand that because life is not infinite, because there is an expiration date, it provides meaning to our existence and our actions. And this means that we can take action to do things that create purpose for our lives. It is through our actions and how we live our lives that we provide value not only to our time on this earth but also to the world.

Time

"Think not disdainfully of death, but look on it with favor; for even death is one of the things that Nature wills."

We must learn to accept the fact that we live and die. We do not know when it will come. We do not know how. But a guarantee is that it will one day come for us all. It’s scary and depressing at times. But by accepting our fate, we can embrace it and lean harder into the present moment. Instead of worrying about what’s on social media, we can embrace our ability to read, grow, and create the lives we want. We can cherish the times we have with friends and family. As it is, we are all on borrowed time.

Accepting the inevitable

Having a constant reminder that all things are temporary can help us live a more meaningful life.

If nothing else, death is a constant reminder of the fragility of life. It is a reminder of our existence and the time we have. Through death, we are reminded of why life is so valuable. But the…

Nietzsche - Follow No One, Trust Yourself

One of the most common misconceptions about introverts is that we're shy and don't like people, says <a href="https://www.fieldtriphealth.com/">Field Trip Health </a>psychotherapist Mike Dow, PsyD. "Introversion may look like shyness to an extrovert—but it's really more about the energy depletion and the way they experience the world," he explains. We just need a lot of alone time to recharge after being social, whereas an extrovert thrives on the energy of other people. This could lead to an "introvert hangover,” exhausted from the effort of being around others.

Introduction

"When introversion was first identified by Carl Jung, the Swiss psychiatrist famous for analytical psychology, the focus was on all the mental energy that introverts use up when socializing," Dr. Dow says. "I've also seen my own introverted patients experience a depletion of physical energy when socializing too much. This is why introverts need alone time. That combination of both mental and physical energy depletion is what I would identify as the 'introvert hangover' despite the fact it's not a recognized diagnosis."

Basis of the theory

In addition to being drained physically and mentally, you can also be drained spiritually, Dr. Dow says. "I tell my patients that 'feelings are information.' Thus, this introvert hangover is information that you overdid the socializing and haven't spent enough time alone in your own thoughts/within your own psyche—where introverts thrive," he says.

Physical and Mental Effects

An introvert hangover can leave you too exhausted to deal with people IRL, and can last anywhere from a few hours to a few days or more. If you experience the latter, Dr. Dow says you really know you overdid it and seriously need to prioritize some alone time. An introvert hangover can even make responding to texts feel like an insurmountable task. "If you don't have the energy to text back, you know that you have really depleted your inner battery of physical/mental energy," says Dr. Dow. "Ask yourself: What did I learn from this experience? How can I manage my energy better next time?"

Ways to deal with an introvert hangover

The good news is that introvert hangovers can be helped, and even prevented, with the right recharge methods. First up: taking some alone time. Dr. Dow suggests meditation, a session of <a href="https://www.wellandgood.com/psychedelics-medical-conditions/">psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy </a> (which is what they specialize in at Field Trip Health), <a href="https://www.wellandgood.com/gardening-as-meditation/">gardening </a>, or time reading as means of doing so.

Good news!

It can also be helpful to set up systems to explain to friends and family why you are going to be MIA for a bit. "Don't feel guilty about this time within your own inner world,” says Dr. Dow. “This is where introverts thrive. Let your closest family and friends know that you've upping your self-care game and, thus, are going to go into brick mode on your phone and set your away message on email when you're going into introvert recharge mode. This will save you from having to send individual texts."

Self-care

Dr. Dow also says to own your self-worth, and be honest with people. "When you're in a good space, tell them something like: 'I'm being more conscious with the way I pay attention to what I need and my energy. If you ever get a brick mode text back or my flower emoji, you'll know I'm recharging.'" He adds that you can prevent abandonment and hurt feelings by making clear the time limit. "So if your mom keeps on texting, say, 'Hey mom, I'm in recharge mode. I'll text you back tomorrow,' instead of 'I can't talk right now,'" he says.

Recharge your social battery

"The former is positive and specific; the latter is negative and vague. Positive and specific communication makes relationships better—whether they're personal or work." He adds that the person who needs a time out is the one who should come back. (Meaning: You DO have to text your mom back after the recharge time you set up.)

But there is no need to rush to recharge. "Use the methods above until you notice your energy returning," Dr. Dow says. As you start to incorporate them and become more aware of how much time with others is too much, Dr. Dow says you can begin to make adjustments to prevent an introvert hangover from happening in the first place.

Take your time!

Being an introvert can be difficult at times but hopefully these ideas can help!

If you're someone who gets depleted by socializing, you're likely familiar with the hangover that follows. Here's what you can do to help.

Understand yourself and those around you.

An Introvert Hangover Is a Real Thing—This Can Help | Well+Good

Metaverse: Augmented reality inventor warns it could be far worse than social mediaIf used improperly, the metaverse could be more divisive than social media and an insidious threat to society and even reality itself.Social media manipulates our reality by filtering what we are allowed (or not allowed) to see. We live in dangerous times because too many people use social media to disseminate untruths and promote division. Augmented reality and the metaverse have the potential to amplify these dangers to incomprehensible levels.

Dangers All Around

At its core, augmented reality (AR) and the metaverse are media technologies that aim to present content in the most natural form possible — by seamlessly integrating simulated sights, sounds, and even feelings into our perception of the real world around us. This means AR, more than any form of media to date, has the potential to alter our sense of reality, distorting how we interpret our direct daily experiences.

Augmented Reality

In an augmented world, simply walking down the street will become a wild amalgamation of the physical and the virtual, merged so convincingly that the boundaries will disappear in our minds. Our surroundings will become filled with persons, places, objects, and activities that don’t actually exist, and yet they will seem deeply authentic to us.

Augmented World

If used improperly, the metaverse could be more divisive than social media and an insidious threat to society and even reality itself.
