    Learn how to reset your focus, productivity, and overall capacity for

    happiness.

    Yes, it's that important. In our modern age, we are constantly flooded

    with dopamine. That might sound like a good thing, but it means that we

    constantly require more and more stimulation to feel simple happiness.

    It's a very, very bad thing. It's the root of why we can't accomplish

    what we want, and why we can't even feel what we want.

    Self-awareness, healing yourself, and understanding your traumas. You don't need a therapist.

    At least, not to start the process. Knowing yourself is one of the most difficult things in the world, and don't let access or funds stop your journey to yourself.

    Learn about why you do the things you do, and why you think the way you think. It's not always so simple.

    The Art of Self-Therapy is a book that introduces you to yourself. We all have unique beliefs and thought patterns that influence our behavior. Are you happy with all of the outcomes your thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors create for you? Or do you frequently feel unstable, confused, lost, or out of control?

    Therapy is a tough task for most. It can be expensive, scary, or socially unacceptable. But this is a process you can start for yourself. Time to start the rest of your life.

    Think exactly what you want to think, and do only what you want to do. This is the wonderful outcome of knowing yourself.

Is luck a cosmic force that we can randomly stumble upon, or is there something real that people we consider lucky have discovered? The Science of Being Lucky is an in-depth look at what all lucky people have in common and how they set themselves up for success time after time.

    Put success into your own hands, not fate's.

    The Science of Being Lucky takes you on a science-based journey into what luck is, what we think it is, and how to get more of it in your life. The journey begins by breaking down and defining the lucky breaks, coincidences, and serendipitous events in our lives – then delves into the specific traits, life factors, and perspectives that create lucky outcomes.

    The Science of Being Lucky will open your eyes to what is behind each moment you would call lucky and give you a concrete action plan to create more of the same. Luck doesn’t have to be just fantasy.

    • Meditation is not the same as mindfulness, which can be practiced right now, no matter what you are doing. Each day presents opportunities to enter a state of heightened awareness, in the ordinary activities that you engage in—from washing your face, to eating, to the daily commute, to your interactions with others.

    • A common myth about the practice of mindfulness is that it requires total emptiness of the mind, where every emerging thought is blocked by a wall to prevent it from disturbing a pure, flawless Zen state. In reality, however, the mind will wander—and you are not required to completely stop it from doing so.

    • In mindfulness, you can allow your mind to wander, and work instead toward simply becoming aware, notice the stream of thoughts without becoming attached to it, and anchor back to the now. All you need is an attitude of non-striving, acceptance, patience, and the willingness to consistently and gently bring yourself back to the present.

    • A way to come back to the present moment is to tune in to your breathing. As the breath remains constant no matter what time of the day it is

    00:05:46 The Positive IS Powerful, But ...

    00:11:15 Good Versus Whole

    00:14:26 Letting Go of Toxic Positivity

    • Toxic positivity is a kind of cognitive distortion and is an overgeneralization of a positive and optimistic attitude. It consists of denial, minimization, and invalidation of your own experience. Toxic positivity grows with shame, silence, and judgment. Positivity itself isn’t toxic, but denying our reality is. Human beings are wholes who contain both good and bad.

    • We can embrace the whole instead of the good by watching the phrases we use, making friends with discomfort, being patient while we are in process, distinguishing between productive and unproductive negativity, and reconnecting to what we value and want to achieve in life. Ask yourself, “How does a person who values what I value behave when they experience what I’m experiencing?”

    • Keeping a gratitude journal is a great way to create genuine feelings of positivity.

    00:31:43 LOVING-KINDNESS MEDITATION

    • Easy, everyday lifestyle changes can make a big difference with anxiety and overthinking. An obvious area to examine is whether you’re having too much caffeine. Try to limit yourself to four hundred milligrams daily.

    • Everyone worries, so at least do it strategically by scheduling worry time. Keep a worry journal so that instead of fighting worry, you postpone and contain it, tackling it on your own terms.

    • Practice gratitude daily to gently shift your perspective to focus on everything that is going well in your world. Use a journal or write thank-you notes to people who have shown you kindness.

    • Mental anchoring is a technique that, once established, can be used as often as you like to help ground and calm you. Choose an anchor, choose a desired state, then connect the two during visualization so that revisiting the anchor brings you back to that state of mind.

    • Have a consistent morning routine where you focus on good food, nature, healthy habits, and quiet contemplative time where you set your intention for the day. Make sure you’re hydrated, since dehydration can elevate cortisol levels.

    00:18:01 Self-Talk as an Amplifier

    00:24:09 Eenie, Meenie, Minie, Moe

    • Have you ever noticed a voice inside your head that is constantly chattering about something or the other right from the moment you wake up? You might have grown so accustomed to it that you barely notice it anymore, but it's definitely there, and it’s either hurting or helping you. No perspective is truly neutral. This voice, a part of your stream of consciousness, is an inner monologue that runs alongside your life, observing and commenting on its various happenings. It tells you who you are, and how you should feel about your identity and the events that occur in your life.

    • There are three main types of inner voices or self-talk. The first is positive self-talk, which acts as a continuous reaffirmation of the good things about you and your life. This type of inner voice bolsters our confidence and elevates happiness levels. However, on the other end lies negative self-talk. This voice is always critical and saying degrading things to us about who we are, what we do, etc. If left uncontrolled, it can lead to several mental health issues. The third type is neutral self-talk, which simply consists of unbiased observations as we walk through life—although this almost always has a positive or negative subtext.

    • Our inner voice, regardless of type, represents the inner representation we have of ourselves. Often, this is not consistent with reality. The way we think we are and what we actually are can be miles apart, but reality seldom matters if we’re convinced that things are a certain way. This leads to why having healthy self-talk is so important. It influences our thoughts, perceptions, and the way we view ourselves, all of which have physiological correlations that affect how we feel and behave. The basis behind this is neuroplasticity, as the more you repeat something, the more it changes your brain’s structure and becomes your reality.

    • If you’re wondering what exactly counts as self-talk, it includes positive or negative statements we say to ourselves, our ruminations, racing thoughts, and the conversations we have with ourselves. Regulating this self-talk can have many positive effects that are essential to our well-being, such as improving sports performances, reducing stress, promoting better self-esteem, and helping us cope with the ups and downs of life. Monitoring self-talk is the key to changing your emotions, behavior, perspective, and life potential.

    00:02:30 Beyond Radical Acceptance: Amor Fati

    00:07:36 Tip 1: Define the event as objectively as possible

    00:08:37 Tip 2: Have a mantra

    00:09:36 Tip 3: Focus on action, focus on solutions

    00:11:18 Negative Visualization

    00:18:24 Stoicism and CBT Combined—the “What-If” Technique

    00:30:08 Be Honest with Yourself

    00:36:39 Keep It Simple with the Two-Column Exercise

    • The ancient Stoics were masters of living in the present.

    • One way of rethinking your relationship to the past is to adopt the Stoic attitude of amor fati. This translates roughly to “love of one’s fate.” Whatever happens is embraced, wanting “nothing to be different.” To practice it, look at events as neutrally as possible and then respond to them with a simple mantra like “good.” By focusing on action and solutions, we are able to transform adversity.

    • Negative visualization is where we occasionally spend a short amount of time imagining in detail the negative things that could happen in life. This renews appreciation and gratitude for what matters, allows us to prepare for the future, and creates psychological resilience.

    • With the “what-if” technique, we write down a fear and ask, “What if this were true?” and explore the worst that could happen, showing ourselves that it is tolerable and not so bad after all. Likewise, remember Memento mori, Latin for, “remember that you will die” to help remind you of what matters.

    • Problem-focused thinking zooms in on what’s wrong. Solution-focused thinking zooms in on what could be right and looks to taking action to change the situation. Thinking needs to be balanced with action. Focus on the problem needs to be balanced with focus on the solution.

    • Remember the Serenity Prayer and try the two-column exercise to help you identify what you can change and what you can’t. Accept what you can’t, act where you can.

    • Ask what you want and value, then ask yourself, “Is what I’m doing, thinking, or feeling bringing me closer to that?”

    Introduce your brain to moments that are free of worry, anxiety, and pressure.
