IKIGAI - The Secret To Live A Long And Happy Life.

- Thread -

 Iki meaning 'to live' and gai meaning 'reason'.

Your Ikigai is your reason to live.

Find your Ikigai in life using the simple steps below.
1. Find And Follow Your IKIGAI.

Ask yourself these 4 questions.

- What do I love?
- What am I good at?
- What does the world need from me?
- What can I get paid for?

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing:
The last of the human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.
2. Take It Slow.

- Be passionate about everything you do.

- Be relaxed and enjoy all that you do.

- Celebrate all the time, even the little joys of life.

- Slowing down is a conscious choice and not always an easy one.

' There is nothing wrong in enjoying life's pleasures'.
3. Don't Fill Your Stomach.

- Eat only until you are 80% full.

Ways to get started:
- Eat slowly.
- Focus on food.
- Use small vessels.
4. Surround Yourself With Good Friends.

- Friends affect your health even more than family.

- The key is to have 3 or 4 good friends that care for you the same way you care for them.

- Thinking about what you can do help the people closest to you be happier.
5. Smile.

- One of the secrets of long life is smiling and having a good time.

- Cheerful attitude is very relaxing.

- The truth is it takes 46 muscles to frown and only 17 to smile.

- People who smile seem more trustworthy and are rated higher in generosity.
6. Reconnect With Nature.

- Anybody who wants to grow old needs an ikigai or reason for living.

- Gardening gives you something to get up for every day.

- Being in nature, living near nature or even viewing nature produces a cascade of positive emotions.
7. Gratitude.

- Gratitude increases happiness levels and physical health.

- It lowers stress levels and improves optimism.
8. Exercise.

- To stay healthy, you don't need to go to gym for an hour daily or run marathons.

- All you need is to add movement to your day.

- Practice anything like yoga, tai chi. This is an excellent way to seek harmony between your body and mind.
9. Live In The Moment.

- Flow is the state in which people are so involved in an activity that nothing else seems matter.

- The experience of doing a task itself becomes highly enjoyable.

- The way is to identify tasks that align with your abilities but are still challenging.
10. Never Retire.

- Live intentional, purposeful life.

- Feel that you are needed, you matter and you contribute.

- Don't think of retirement as an ultimate destination.

- Focus to build a fantastic life while you still have time.

- Never retire. Keep learning.

Psychology Of Procrastination And Tips to Tackle Them.

- Thread -

1. Perfectionist's Fear.

- Procrastination is the subconscious fear of failure.

- If you put off a task long enough, then you don't have to face up to the potential negative results.

- Don't stick to getting minor things 'just right', it causes delay in continuing the task.

How To Tackle:

- Understand perfection is a myth.

- Put in your best effort and realize that's all you can do.

2. Dreamer's Lack Of Action.

- Person who is highly creative and has many brilliant ideas but can't put them to action.

- This happens as there is no goal setting involved after the idea has been created.

- Aimless approach manifests lack of decision making and delays.

How To Tackle:

- Once you have an idea, write down a timeline of what you want to achieve and by when.

- Do this daily to keep yourself on track and accountable.

Ok I was wrong about theHouse. 2 years of legislative gridlock = not fun. Few bills passing.

Control of the House is useless when it comes to keeping Trump from declassifying all the SpyGate docs. Or stopping an Inspector General from releasing a report.

Trump still gets control of judicial appointments so we can expect another 100 judges over the next two years. This time there’ll be no McCain or Flake playing the Maverick role with their swing vote.

That new margin in the Senate is huge if another Supreme Court seat comes open.

So from the responses I’m getting, people seem to think if Trump declassifies the Spygate stuff now, nothing happens.

Are you under the impression federal prosecutors have to wait until CONGRESS finishes an investigation and makes criminal referrals before the DOJ can act?

There’s a federal grand jury on McCabe right now. Did Congress ever finish it’s investigation and make a referral to the DOJ against him?

No.

BUT INSPECTOR GENERAL HOROWITZ DID. On finishing his McCabe leak report.

Funny how nobody remembers that.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND YAJNA

Fire is, of course, one of the greatest discovery of mankind. Our control over the fire dramatically changed the entire human habits; earlier it was used to cook food, protection from animals and to stay warm.


Among the many applications of fire, one is Yajna (यज्ञ, yajña); also called as Havana (हवन) or Agnihotra (अग्निहोत्र).
Yajna is elaborately described in Yajurveda. In Yajurveda, Yajna is the greatest among all works (Karman). One can purify his /her soul by performing Yajna.

In Vedic culture, it is thought that the holy fire is the mediator between Gods and us; when the offerings are made to Yajna with chanting mantras, it directly reaches the Gods, who bless the people with rains, food, health, and good luck.

According to Apastamba Sutra, the definition of Yajna is Vedic sacrifice; an act by which we surrender something for gods e.g. grains (Anna), pulse, milk and milk product (ghee, butter, curd) fruits, plant juice (soma), etc.

As we said; Yajna is the contact medium for gods and

to seek their blessings.

There are many types of Yajna performed by Hindus for e.g.,

1. Rajsuya Yajna
2. Ashwamedha Yajna
3. Chaaturmasya Yajna
4. Vaajpey Yajna
5. Purushmedha Yajna
6. Sarvamedha Yajna

Ivor Cummins has been wrong (or lying) almost entirely throughout this pandemic and got paid handsomly for it.

He has been wrong (or lying) so often that it will be nearly impossible for me to track every grift, lie, deceit, manipulation he has pulled. I will use...


... other sources who have been trying to shine on light on this grifter (as I have tried to do, time and again:


Example #1: "Still not seeing Sweden signal versus Denmark really"... There it was (Images attached).
19 to 80 is an over 300% difference.

Tweet: https://t.co/36FnYnsRT9


Example #2 - "Yes, I'm comparing the Noridcs / No, you cannot compare the Nordics."

I wonder why...

Example #3 - "I'm only looking at what makes the data fit in my favour" a.k.a moving the goalposts.
