Hi i thought this might be useful to some people and maybe save some time these video have definitely helped me a lot and took me some time to find them https://youtu.be/FFrR0cGWnac https://youtu.be/ijSng_X9soc https://youtu.be/l96TZeZGlDg https://youtu.be/5rey8B-yu5Y https://youtu.be/ayEoiU5MOg4 https://youtu.be/PFfZ1vTYCMg https://youtu.be/vYAEr_94EDY https://youtu.be/XulpS3cAkOM https://youtu.be/od68AuYqM5k Kind regards

Maybe this could help https://www.actualized.org/articles/the-art-of-solving-problems-permanently from experience when i tryed to form new habbits it was really difficult to keep track of them if i did more than one at the same time so maybe just focus at one at the time for 66 days (some research shows that's how long it take to form a habbit :))

https://www.actualized.org/articles/the-art-of-solving-problems-permanently (i think it helps if you write your thougt process down) https://www.actualized.org/articles/how-to-deal-with-strong-negative-emotions probably the best solutions i have found my self

https://www.actualized.org/articles/self-discipline-vs-freedom These might be useful

Hi does anybody know about any mindset for doing serious self improvement and to help one to keep going even when it becomes emotional difficult? kind regards

@OnceMore if you learn how to learn you should be able to get a super good career faster than most people for example if you do something called deep work (aka extreem intense concentration without distraction) (a book by cal newport) one of the people cal newport talks about in the book is what usually toke him a year he was able to do in a few weeks by concentrating extremly intensly without distractions and using rutins and rituals to minimize willpower(by just using 90 minuts a day in the morning) an other thing that i have found that really helps are if you are trying to understand something explain it as if you where to explain it to a five year old it really helps to give you a better understanding there is a lot of other really good learning techniques out there (example deliberate pratice and active recall) of course if the career doesn't require learning(or concentration) there might be something else (in this case maybe it could help to interview people who are already where you want to be to understand how they got there) alternative for a normal education there is also self education

I think the best thing i know of would be to really exspand your awareness for example by reading a lot of books or for example by youtube videos really anything you can because that can really raise the chance of finding a solution to ones problems or helping one with motivation there are of course also a lot of other benefits

If you are interested maybe read cal newports so good they can't ignore you he tells that a lot of people where confused about what their life purpose/passion should be and even had anexity over it (even top performers before they got at their level of expertise) but it was only untill they became really good(at the level of experts/top performers) that they where clear about what they wanted it to be that's also why I recommend to keep going with something you are already good at so it might take you less time to be at that level of expertise good luck

Have you consider doing interviews with other people in your field? could be interesting

Would it be okay if you could do something like this on scott pecks the road less traveled? would be awsome great video btw kind regards

This one?

Some research(by cal newport) have shown that the brain has a limited of four hour per day (at least if it's intense concentration) and after four hours people had difficulty to be productive so it might be good to stick with four hours and getting enough rest

@cle103 maybe just pick the one you have stayed with the longest and are most skilled in

Maybe you could interview people who already are where you want to be and ask them what degree they took

Just chose one thing and get really good at it

Hi i am not really sure where i should post this so I apologize if this is off topic Lucky i have only experienced something like this once but i dreamt (i was dreaming but what happen felt like it happen in the real world) where i felt like somebody was pushing on the side of my body and breathing very heavily (as if they wanted to hurt me physically and it was outside their comfortzone) and when i woke up afterwards nobody was around me which was really confusing and it really felt like i could feel what I dreamed about i thougt maybe it could have something to do with sleep paralysis or something similar? does anyone know something about vivid dreams cause physical pain? Kind regards

Some of the best techniques i have found so far is (there are also some good techniques here: https://www.actualized.org/start) for personal development: fully feel the emotion with zero resistance (don't avoid pain as it could create mental illness) do the hardest emotional thing look inside your thoughts to find the root cause to check if you have gotten true growth vs fake growth be aware if anything have changed inside or check if your behavior has changed you could also test your self in situations related to what you wanted to grow and see if anything is different do things more intentional and deliberate deep relaxation relax both body and the mind in a place of isolation to relax journal(writing your thoughts processes down) write things down to really think something through find an important why if there is something you want to achieve Become aware that's there is probably no easy fix or solution to the problem you a facing using all your willpower on something emotionally difficult to overcome it(might take several times) to do something faster create a schedule and do it with zero distractions (also do one thing at a time but do it with great intensity) be 100% honest take 100% responsibility become aware thats how you do something can play an important role in getting results if there is something emotionally difficult if it's possible see if you can face it but in a smaller quantity for example if it something dealing with people instead of facing the problem with 10+ see if its possible with just one not to avoid the problem but so it might be easier to overcome it and once it get easier you could increase the quantity schedule every minut of your day for learning: Work with fixed hours for example if you chose to work for four hours only work in those hours and then relax or do what ever you want afterwards (could for example be 2 hours in the morning and two hours later in the day) deep work(focus with great intensity with zero destrations for a longer period of time) deliberate pratice(pratice at the edge of your comfortzone with feedback and with intensity) prepare for what you want to learn and find learning techniques that help to reach your learning goal for understanding a topic explain it as if you where explain to a five year old and the feynman technique retrivival pratice for better memoery and self testing Spaced repetition, ultralearning (by scott h young) when learning a language speak from day one and 100% immersion if possible alternative do digital immersion

It hard to say the more you read about what other people think about passion there almost seems to come a new answer every time but i do think it's a good idea if you are interested with music that you continue to do it there have been some interesting research thats shows the better you are at something the more you should feel passionate about it (a book called so good they can't ignore you by cal newport talks about this :)) i guess that if you do it right your passion could = purpose

Knight and day, westworld, back to the future, rick and morty, breaking bad, better cal saul, the strain, game of thrones, the planet of the apes triology, the book theif, attack on titans, superman vs the elite dc comics, the defenders and all the previous shows they made for the same characters in it, agent of shield tv series, the mist by stephen king(the movie not the tv series) and the dark tower by stephen king(the movie) not really sure what you mean by non toxic when it comes to entertainment but those are some pretty good tv shows/films in my opinion

If you are looking for something where you can both read faster and still have full comprehension i think an alternative to speed reading might be to concentrate much more intensely without distractions but it is also much harder to do (there is a book on this called deep work by cal newport)

the best thing i know that could be a solution might be to really dig deep and find the root cause of the problem and have the self disciplin to face it and also fully feel the emotion with zero resistance i think it might also help to read a book called the road less traveled by scott peck it have a lot of good infomation on how to deal with challenging things in life (for example one of the things he talks about is to accept that life is difficult) something else that could help might be to have a journal where you write the problems you are facing to get a clear idea of what the root cause is and to track your progress hope it helps good luck

i am sorry if i am rude and i might be wrong but isn't this sort of working at the problem at a superficial level rather than dig deep and finding the root cause of the problem? or could you say its a way to gain the courage to work on it at a deep level?

@Shakazulu I don't think time mangement is as important as having the best possible technique(planning and scheduling also helps ) i think if you have a really effective technique (and zero distractions) you should be able to do what you want to accomplish more and at higher quality in less time an example of a really good technique could for example be something called deep work if the goal is to learn something or if there is something you need to pratice it could be by using both deep work and something called deliberate pratice one of the best techniques i have found for doing personal development is fully feel the emotion with zero resistance, doing the most difficult emotional thing, and really dig deep(looking at whats going inside/behind at ones thoughts to find the root cause of the problem) (having a clear goal of what the problem is helps or at least it did from my experience ) the only downside maybe is that it can take some research to find a good technique but if it isn't related to what you are looking for maybe you could schedule every minute of your day the day before there is some people who have written about this before so you should be able to find something on google (on example is cal newport) i think it also helps to focus at one thing at a time but really focus as much as possible until it's finished and then repeat the same thing with the next thing you need to finish of course with breaks here and there if necessary (or in other words work hard play hard) kind regards

@Captain Flint exactly what i am thinking?

Just because he is late doesn't have to mean he is dead he is human too stuff could come up and it have happen before that the video got delayed a day if we don't hear anything at all from him after a month or so then it make sense to start worrying
