When we realize that someone is not good for us, no one forces us to stay with that person and continue to expose ourselves to their destructive energy.Surround yourself with people who believe in you, who are convinced of your power, who see the wonderful talent in you, who recognize the potential in you, who can connect with your visions and support them.Give yourself respect and recognition!

We are what surrounds us

We want those who have done bad things to us to pay for it. But they won't. We are the only ones to bear the consequences.We hinder ourselves from living our lives until we have forgiven.If we can't let go and hold on to our grief and thoughts of revenge, we will pay the bill all by ourselves.

Holding on to grievances will harm us

Through the crises and dramas we have overcome, we have become the wonderful person we are today. Past dramas and defeats in particular have often opened our eyes and led us back to where we could bravely and courageously take new steps.Hurdles help us to become stronger and more powerful. Only those who have solved many problems and crises in their lives can face new challenges relatively confidently and calmly and overcome them with ease.

Let crises be the seed for growth

Explore and reformulate negative self-images.Burn the negative images.Turn the positive images into daily affirmations.

Exercise: Letting go of grievances

7) Burn the strip of paper. Imagine thanking the people in question for all the lessons they have taught you in your life. You release them from your life without resentment. Be grateful to have had these experiences. You have become more mature and aware as a result. You say goodbye to these companions full of love and affection and wish them a wonderful life.8) Feel how it frees you, how you breathe a sigh of relief, how it opens up new spaces.9) Go to sleep with this new awareness.

The past can therefore be changed, especially in terms of what we make of it. Our future is shaped by the way we look at our past. The benefits we derive from this realization are entirely up to us.

It is up to you

We are all connected. What you put into the system will come back tenfold.

A practical guide to unlocking the powers of our DNA to manifest health, wealth, and happiness • Shows how our DNA communicates with those around us and attracts resonant energy--whether positive or negative--to us • Reveals groundbreaking scientific research on the influence of DNA on photons as well as the interactions between DNA and emotions • Provides practical exercises to remove negative influences, build positive visualizations of your desires, and accelerate the manifestation of your wishes Taking the law of attraction to an entirely new level, Pierre Franckh reveals how human DNA has a direct effect on the physical world around us--an effect we can consciously focus to manifest our desires. Sharing groundbreaking experiments on the influence of DNA on photons and on the interactions between emotions and DNA, Franckh explains how our thoughts, emotions, and beliefs, whether positive or negative, build a field of resonance around us. Through this quantum field our DNA is continuously communicating our unique vibration to those around us and receiving their unique oscillations in return. By focusing our intentions and removing negativity from our beliefs about ourselves, our past, and our future, we can use our DNA to communicate our thoughts and desires to the universe. Through focused thoughts and intentions we draw the same resonant energy to us, thus bringing our intentions and desires into manifestation. The author shares success stories from the thousands who have taken his seminars and were then able to attract a soul mate, heal themselves or loved ones, or build wealth, sometimes remarkably quickly. He also describes how he discovered the law of resonance through his own self-healing from a degenerative spinal condition. Franckh provides practical exercises to remove inner and outer negative influences that could be blocking your desires, build a positive visualization of your goals, and increase the power of your field of resonance for quicker manifestation. In this inspiring guide to the law of resonance, the author shows how the power to manifest health, wealth, and happiness is within each of us, waiting to be unlocked within our DNA.

Situation of Education

Any app on a mobile phone has to compete with social media apps.

Then you progress to gold league, sapphire league, ...</li><li class="ql-align-justify">achievements</li></ul>

How to make the app addictive

I hope for a future in which screen time is not a bad thing, in which we can deliver high-quality education to everyone, rich or poor, using a mobile phone.

This is the reason why I have been slacking on my Deepstash curations 😅

When technologist Luis von Ahn was building the popular language-learning platform Duolingo, he faced a big problem: Could an app designed to teach you something ever compete with addictive platforms like Instagram and TikTok? He explains how Duolingo harnesses the psychological techniques of social media and mobile games to get you excited to learn — all while spreading access to education across the world.

How to Make Learning as Addictive as Social Media | Luis Von Ahn | TED

There is a reason why we constantly bend our brains in front of ourselves, which experts call “cognitive dissonance”, and it describes the awful feeling that our own actions somehow cannot be reconciled with our own convictions.Actually, cognitive dissonance can also be described like this:I see the world - widdewidde the way I want to.

Cognitive dissonance

We feel some outlandish stuff all the time, and some of it is based on a stupid mistake or misinterpreted.The tendency towards balance has returned to the conviction that neither the exclusive favoring of feelings nor of reason is the way, but that it takes the cooperation of clown and mind to get through life reasonably healthy.The fact that we decide with our feelings and not with our intellect explains why most advice books don't work: They don't change how you feel.There is no all-balancing justice in the world and the clown is just trying to solve a cute cognitive dissonance.

Ratio and Clown

The time together so far has been an attempt to find out how and whether things should continue. With your partner, but also with friends. Because messing up the future just because the past was also bad makes no sense at all.Maybe you have or had a partner who wanted to keep you down, who didn't want you to move on for fear that you would leave them behind if you reached for the top.Maybe the authority you submit to sits in your own head and maybe it's been there for a very long time, whispering big bullshit to you. Listen carefully and see if you recognize the voice of the clown somewhere.

Sunk Cost Fallacy

No does not mean stop, it's just a detour sign on your way to achieving your dream. Don't let others control what you want to achieve. Trust your intuition, it's quick and objective. Unlike imagination, it's not accompanied by strong feelings of fear and anxiety. It's a spontaneous knowing, a clear direction pulling you towards your dream.

Taking Control of Your Dreams

Many people go through traumatic experiences in their lifetime, causing short-term or long-term effects that can be dramatic.However, research shows that up to 90% of individuals experience personal growth after facing a trauma, becoming resilient and stronger versions of themselves.You don't just revert back to your old self after a traumatic event. You undergo a transformation that strengthens and elevates you.

Transforming Trauma into Growth

Don't underestimate the influence of your thoughts! The placebo and nocebo effects show how our mind can make an impact on our body, whether it's for the better or worse.<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Our brain tends to create connections even when there are none.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">The placebo effect is the healing effect of treatments based on the context of a treatment.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">The nocebo effect results in negative physical reactions based on the context.</li></ul>

The Power of Belief: Understanding the Placebo and Nocebo Effect

Media reports can have a major influence on our well-being. If you consider that the media does not feel bound by the scientific facts of a topic, and even bends them for the most sensational effect possible, then the media has a much greater influence on the well-being of the general public than previously assumed: They can cause people to become sick.Often something seems so obvious and logical to us that we attach more importance to an explanation that may not be entirely scientific, but fits in well with our world view, than it perhaps deserves.

We should treat ourselves the way we want to be treated. The words "love yourself" are nice, but our actions define our self-image and shape our lives.Imagine if we had to keep every promise we made to ourselves, and follow through with everything we set out to do. No more excuses. Our good intentions would align with our true desires. Every "Actually, I should..." would be evaluated to determine if we truly want to do it. If the answer is "yes", we should act accordingly because we made a promise to ourselves and we should not bullshit ourselves.

Self-Love and Self-Image

After all, it is not selfish to look after yourself, it is vital - who else would do it?

We often hold each other back by staying confined to fixed roles. But the key to achieving true happiness lies in ourselves: only when we take control of our lives, we can experience the freedom of being the ruler of our world.Many think that someone else is the answer to our unhappiness, but in reality, they are just pseudo-saviors. They exist because humans tend to seek a savior, someone else to redeem them. This temptation shifts the responsibility away from ourselves, creating a dependency on others for our own happiness.

You are in charge of your own happiness

Just as liberating as the knowledge that you are responsible for your own happiness is the realization that you are not responsible for the happiness of others.

The opposite of happiness is hopelessness. No matter what situation we find ourselves in, as long as we still have hope, we are not finished yet.You can get it if you really want - the biggest bullshit of all time and the source of eternal dissatisfaction.There are limits, and we must accept them.Everything we want to change and create must be within these limits, otherwise self-help becomes pure self-destruction.The better we know these limits, the better we can deal with them instead of constantly being annoyed that they exist.

The Opposite of Happiness is Hopelessness

You may know exactly what (or who) in your past has caused you to act in this way and not otherwise - but this won't do you any good. The hard part is yet to come, because knowledge does not make problematic behavior disappear.But you can't influence how you feel, it only depends on what you do with these feelings!The fact that I relate the actions of others to myself as if I were the hub of the universe is not because I actually think I am: It's completely normal. We constantly overestimate the attention that the world gives us. It's called the spotlight effect, and we all fall for it.

The Spotlight Effect

The truth is relieving and almost insulting: as a rule, the world is not the least bit interested in you.

Admitting weaknesses makes you strong, not only in front of yourself, but also in front of others. After all, it takes courage and when you overcome yourself and do something courageous, you feel good. Authentic.

Be authentic

When we overcome something negative, we always come out of it stronger; you don't get that by pushing it away, keeping it quiet or pretending it's nothing. Covering up mistakes is a mistake, not admitting fear creates even more fear, and avoiding suffering is a form of suffering. What makes us greater as human beings comes from overcoming negative experiences, i.e. courageously moving forward and right through them.

Paar schwarze Schuhe im Schrank wirklich nötig war. Jetzt weiß sie: Der Verstand hat nichts zu melden. Regelmäßig wird man von anerzogenen Denkfehlern in die Irre geführt. Scharfsinnig und witzig zeigt Alexandra Reinwarth, wie man diesen Fehlern auf die Spur kommt und endlich kluge Entscheidungen trifft. Eine unerlässliche Hilfe für alle, die sich wundern, warum sie gute Vorsätze nie einhalten, tolle Ideen nicht umsetzen und dauernd Dinge kaufen, die sie niemals brauchen werden.

Don't Believe Everything You Think (Glaub nicht alles, was du denkst)

If I think something is right, then I say so. And if 20 years later I realize that it was wrong, then I say so too.Wenn ich etwas für richtig halte, dann sage ich das so. Und wenn ich 20 Jahre später feststelle, dass das falsch war, dann sage ich das auch.

In the mid-1980s, Vera F. Birkenbihl obtained some fame with a self-developed method of language learning, the "Birkenbihl method". In seminars and publications she addressed the topics of brain-friendly learning and teaching, analytical and creative thinking, personality development, numerology, pragmatic esotericism, brain-specific sex differences and future-proof concepts.

Quotes by Vera F. Birkenbihl

Forgiveness is a conscious decision to let go of resentment, anger, and desire for revenge towards those who have hurt us. It breaks the cycle of negative emotions and allows us to move forward with our lives.When we hold onto grudges, it creates feelings of hostility and wariness that can damage our relationships and hinder our personal growth.🙏 Choose forgiveness and free yourself from emotional burdens. 🌱

The Power of Forgiveness

Self-compassion entails the recognition from people who have hurt us, it creates a core feeling of animosity and distrust that may stifle our interactions and limit our possibilities of being genuinely connected with others.Self-acceptance is a process of love and acceptance of the whole self with imperfections and without special circumstances and conditions. It signifies recognizing that we are of worth.We are unconditionally valuable due to our humanity combined with all its variations, weariness, and distinctive existences.

The Importance of Self-Compassion and Self-Acceptance

Radical forgiveness doesn't mean excusing or staying in touch with the offender, nor absolving them of responsibility. It's about acknowledging the inherent worth of all people and showing compassion, even in the face of hurt and betrayal.Rushing into forgiveness can be liberating, allowing an individual to break free from a victim mindset and reclaim their power as the author of their own story.

Empathy and Radical Forgiveness: A Path to Empowerment

Journeying Toward Tranquility in Letting Go

The Forgiveness Journey by Monday Farouq

Spend a week journaling about your true feelings, including moments of negativity. Reflect on the causes of these emotions and the relief or insights gained from acknowledging them rather than masking them with forced positivity.

Reflective Journaling on Authentic Emotions

Identify a current challenge in your life and consciously decide to face it. Document the steps you are taking to confront this challenge, how it makes you feel, and what you are learning from the experience.

The Challenge Embrace

Each day, write down three things you are grateful for, focusing on how acknowledging and overcoming difficulties has contributed to these points of gratitude. This exercise connects the dots between challenges and personal growth.

Gratitude with a Twist

Practice a meditation where you allow yourself to fully experience a negative emotion or memory. Instead of pushing it away, explore it with curiosity, asking what it can teach you or how it has shaped you.

Constructive Negativity Meditation

Reflect on a past adversity that you overcame. Write a detailed account of how you felt during the experience, the resources that helped you through it, and how the experience contributed to your personal growth. This exercise aims to highlight your inherent resilience and the value of facing life's challenges.

Resilience Reflection

Like time, emotional energy is a limited resource. Recognizing and honoring our emotional boundaries is essential for sustaining well-being and effectively engaging with life's challenges.

Emotional Energy Management

Learning to say no is essential for staying focused on what actually matters. It's a skill that helps you set appropriate boundaries and prevent over commitment.

The Power of 'NO'

Life is dynamic and our priorities can shift. Regular evaluation and priority modification ensure that we stay on track with our growing goals and beliefs.

Adaptive Prioritization

Recognizing that progress and healing frequently begin with acceptance of inconvenient or painful facts.

The Importance of Accepting Hard Truths

Seeing vulnerability as a strength, not a problem. True bravery comes from our willingness to face our anxieties and uncertainty.

The Power of Vulnerability

Recognizing that denial is a transient refuge that will eventually limit us. Facing the truth, no matter how unpleasant, is the first step toward emancipation. Fear may be transformed into growth by viewing our fears as possibilities for personal development and self-discovery rather than as insurmountable hurdles.

Breaking Free from Denial

Recognizing that resilience is formed not by avoiding life's obstacles, but by confronting them and learning from them.

Resilience Through Acceptance

The Subtle Art of Letting Go by Clara Finnie

The body and mind suffer from identification with limiting patterns we adopt from past experiences and define as truth. These limiting patterns affect all aspects of our lives.Observe your thoughts instead of believing them.Accept the body and mind as vehicles for self-realization instead of rejecting them.Understand what you are trying to achieve.The eternal self that is you can observe the body; thus, it cannot be the totality of you.You are not your emotions; you are the temporary container for your emotions. Identify with the container, not with what it temporarily holds.

Self-Realization

Be like the sky and allow everything to be as it is. Have no preferences for sun, clouds, or rain. Observe everything that passes through and accept it for its being.Be unconditional and pure love. We are profoundly loved by existence. This love is always present. There is nothing we can do to stop it.Our awareness has no limits, edges, or boundaries.Free yourself from perceived limitations.Experience no-thing-ness.Quiet your mind and rest in your true self - be the container, not the content. Find inner tranquility.

Be Like the Sky

Our body and mind are like the clothes we wear - they are not who we are. Remember, you are the ocean that manifests as a wave. Embrace and cherish every moment of your life.<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Connect with your eternal nature</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Be true to yourself</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Embrace every experience</li></ul>

Connect with Your True Self

Lead me from the unreal to the real.Lead me from darkness to light.Lead me from the time bound consciousness, death, to the timeless state of being, immortality, that I am.

Relaxation does not happen by doing more, it happens by doing less. Learn to stop doing.

Yoga Nidra is the master key to initiating shifts in conscious sleep states where change happens outside of doing. In Yoga Nidra you enter a state of non-doing in which transformation happens from beyond the mind rather than through the mind. In this highly regenerative meditative state you can restore and rejuvenate your body, heal and recover from illness and re-wire your brain for greater mental and emotional balance and resiliency. This comprehensive guidebook explores the core of Yogic philosophy and modern applications of Yoga Nidra backed by scientific research - affirming what Yogis have known for thousands of years. You will receive instruction on the practice of Yoga Nidra and the use of intention. You will discover how unconscious thinking patterns and resulting biochemical states contribute to ill health, stress, insomnia, depression, anxiety, bad habits, trauma and addictions and most importantly, how to neutralize them with the Six Tools of Yoga Nidra.

Yoga Nidra

The brain learns new facts most easily and permanently when it is receptive to positive feelings.If you try to impress rational information on the brain without an emotional context, negative feelings usually arise during the memorization process.The trick is to give seemingly normal information the character of something special, then the brain automatically tries to archive the thought as carefully as possible.

Memory Retention - On Learning

Memory Palace:The best way to memorize things is to imagine them as objects in an imaginary space.It is very helpful for the way our memory works if we visually arrange names, things or concepts that we want to remember in a spatial way.The aim is to mentally place images in certain places, which can then be revisited in a predetermined order. To do this, everyone has to develop their own individual location system in which they can store terms, keywords or thoughts and retrieve them as required.

Memory Retention - Mnemonics

Perceptual filters influence our ability to remember.Memories are stored via perception, which is influenced by a series of filters:<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">   physiological (sensory)</li><li class="ql-align-justify">   emotional</li><li class="ql-align-justify">   psychological (interests)</li><li class="ql-align-justify">   knowledge</li><li class="ql-align-justify">   language</li></ul>Everyone believes there is only one way of perceiving things. But perceiving always means interpreting and evaluating.This is why nowadays perception is described as construction and remembering as reconstruction.Only a recall stimulus brings learned memories into the focus of our consciousness.A trained brain remembers better, also its owner is healthier.Go on mental walks.

Memory Retention - Information Recall

The hippocampus functions as a bridge between short- and long-term memory. New material is transferred to long-term memory while we sleep.Many act completely wrong before exams. They fill up the limited hippocampal memory until late at night and then sleep too little, so the hippocampus cannot do its job properly. Everything that could not be transferred to the cortex is ruthlessly displaced by new material and lost.We cannot remember anything long term by pure memorization without understanding. Cramming is mere pseudo-learning.

Memory Retention - Short and Long Term

Most of us have a preferred input for new information. As a rule, this is also the sensory channel through which it is best remembered. Find out which way you prefer to receive information. When you find yourself in a situation where you need to learn something new quickly, you can pour the material into the form that suits you best. It also allows you to recognize where your weak points lie. These can then be specifically trained.If you take in new information with several sensory channels, it is easier to remember it, as the content is saved in several different areas of the brain.

Memory Retention - Learning Types

Stress and problems can impair memory performance. The brain simply switches off when it is mentally overloaded. Instead of brain jogging, it is therefore better to identify mental stress and try to reduce it. Relaxation methods can also help the memory.

Memory Retention - Memory Impairments

Everything we have ever learned is part of our metaphorical knowledge network. To find out which threads are connected, we have to follow our own associations. Being able to register our own associations is the basis for differentiated thinking.Our passive knowledge always exceeds our active knowledge many times over.

Thought Processing - Network of Knowledge

Completely free association often fails because of the compulsion to consider every possible solution.Some restrictions are justified and should be respected. It is often more useful to look for answers within thought patterns and mental pigeonholes than outside them.If framework conditions or principles can be identified that any solutions to a specific problem must adhere to, the search for the optimal recipe will be much more productive. Many impractical ideas can be filtered out from the outset. This allows us to gain a quicker insight into the alternatives that are actually feasible.

Creativity - Problem Solving Skills

Feelings are essential for good decisions.If you think back to moments when you made bad decisions, you often realize that you had a bad feeling - you just didn't listen to it. To prevent this from happening in the future, it is important to pay close attention to the body's warning signals and consciously take them into account when making decisions.Because these signals come from personal experience, they usually provide us with reliable clues as to what is good for us and what should be avoided.Paying attention to your body is an indispensable aid to living well and making wise decisions.

Intuition - Decisions

If you want to improve your self-regulation, you should only worry about your own experience and your personal evaluation system.What the rest of the world thinks is completely irrelevant in this context.

Intuition - Self-Control

How to realize good resolutions:<ol><li class="ql-align-justify">Keep a logbook</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Identify triggers</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Establish a new neural network</li></ol>

Intuition - Motivation

Unfortunately, schools and universities often teach us that writing language has to sound weighty and that it is not enough to let the content work on its own.True to the motto: if you have little to say, at least do it with a lot of bluster.Worse still, incomprehensible words can also be used to deliberately disguise things.

Everyday Life - Writing

Feelings arise within us based on the meaning we attach to things. We can decide whether we focus on the negative or positive aspects, whether we see something as a loss or a gain.Let's not see problems of any kind as a nuisance to be avoided at all costs, but as an opportunity to learn and grow.Always do what is most important first. Simply leave everything else to the side. We have to learn to put up with things remaining undone. You'll be amazed at how little difference it often makes: either someone else takes care of it, the matter takes care of itself or it doesn't even matter.

Everyday Life - Contentedness

A lumberjack saws at a tree for hours and barely makes any progress because his saw is blunt. When a passing hiker asks him why he doesn't get a new saw or at least sharpen the shear blade, the exhausted man replies: "I really don't have time for that, I still have ten more trees to cut down today."

The Truth About Love

If you have to chase a man or convince him why he should be with you, do you really want to be with him? You are far too fabulous to beg, crawl, manipulate, or convince. It's time to write yourself a big ole reality check and keep the change. Let go of that dead-end relationship and hit the highway to Loving Yourself Too Much To Wait Around For Someone Who Doesn't Love You Enough. Someone out there will be so excited, thrilled, and honored to call you his girl that he would never string you along. But you'll never meet him as long as you're clinging to Mr Wrong.

It's easy to hang on to people who don't value you. But when you let go, better things come along!Benefits of Saying Goodbye:<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">You make room for the people you deserve</li><li class="ql-align-justify">You gain the power of self-worth</li><li class="ql-align-justify">You free yourself from toxic relationships</li></ul>Don't cling onto the past at the expense of your future. Thank those who have let go of you - they've given you wings to fly! 👋🦅
