Throw ashes and forgive them. Amazingly, this works. I wrote to my father, who died when I was 11. I sometimes hate and get angry at him because he abandoned me at that age. Writing a letter changed things.

Maybe my blog post says that. The new year is just a reminder to "do something" new.

2) This year, I’m sticking to the principle of “do something” + “eat that frog.” In my first few hours of the day, I will tackle the most important task—my Ph.D.—before diving into anything else.

1. Perfectionism: The Root of Procrastination I obsess over finding the perfect solution and presentation for 90% of the time, leaving nothing done. And the result? In my opinion, it wakes up my "panic monster" and is bad. How to tackle this? #perfectionism #habits #mindset #procrastination

Why can’t we stick to the resolutions in the first place? I believe it is due to the wrong approach, which is to rely on willpower and motivation. Initially we have burning motivation, but its nature is to fade. In my view, this makes sticking to resolutions a tougher problem than it seems.

Millions of us wake up on January 1st resolve to break bad habits and form better ones. Most resolutions fade by February. Fun fact: 80% of 2024 Forbes Health survey respondents felt confident in achieving their goals. Only 13% survive 4 months and 1% at year's end. #newyear #habits #mindset

Ha ha. These "shoulds/should nots" and "musts/must nots" are coming from my perfectionism. It is good for me to break them sometimes.

I was looking for psycho education about the core of CBT. This book highlights how to handle automatic thoughts, but in my opinion these are generated from core beliefs that we form in childhood. So I moved to “Reinventing your life” which solved the root problem. No comments on author. 🙂

We are on the same page, man. I can understand that pain. But this book is not going to help with things like depression etc, imo.

I see these survival stories under the umbrella of human life struggles. After all, what’s the real difference between someone losing their life under the weight of another’s oppression and someone succumbing to the pressures of their own mind's depression?"

"Not sure if we can truly end this. The next 'apocalypse' might be closer than we think—not confined to a single place like Auschwitz but potentially encompassing the entire world. While this may not occur soon, the seeds of widespread human conflict are already visible.

Thanks for the book. I have read Peace by Viktor Franklin. These survival books give us powerful examples of what humans are capable of.

It has everything to live a positive life. May I know why you hated this book? Of course, when we start building habits, we have to focus on micro-managing everything through trackers, and this book suggests that you do it forever. IDK if this is good or bad.

@gigiangel.bsky.social A solution that works. The reason I procrastinate is perfectionism—"the" mother-root cause of procrastination. I recently found the exact same solution—eat that frog. Working on this, but "falling of the wagon" sometimes.😀 BTW, thanks for the reply.
