How to become mentally strong: Tips and techniques

1. Never ever get uncomfortable.
If you are uncomfortable, it means there is something you fear from. Don’t let fear ruling you! You will see they don’t even exist.
2. Fake it till you make it.
Perception beats reality. Before I start doing something challenging, this is simply what I do. If the goal is too keep yourself mentally strong, don’t hesitate to believe you are. I bet it works.
3. Say it out loud!
Say what you want out loud. It is that much simple to keep yourself motivated and so mentally strong.
4. Try to define actions reversely.
Maybe you call yourself a procrastinator or late doer. This is not the true way of defining your actions. Approach from the different perspective and say you are able to do it such quick that you don’t even need to start so early.
5. Act of kindness.
I think act of kindness interestingly and impressively increases the level of happiness. You should also try.
6. Try to spend time with motivated people.
In general, motivated people are mentally strong and surronding yourself with those people may help you.
7. Set a goal.
Setting a goal makes life more meaningful and it’s not hard to find one. For instance, identify one of your bad habits and let it be your goal to defeat it. This goal doesn’t have to be a big deal such as quitting smoking. It can be committing to giving up that bag of chips you eat at lunch every day.
8. Be aware of small wins.
Your life mostly consists of ordinary moments. However, if you have the awareness of differences regarding small wins, you will have a good state of mind.
9. Never underestimate self-care.
Some people can think of it is completely waste of time. I don’t think it is true. Self-care helps you to establish good relationships with other and be self-confident.
10. Set a goal to eat clean.
You are what you eat. Don’t forget about it.
11. Set a generous budget to have fun.
We are all human and we need it.
12. Don’t fear taking calculated risk.
Don’t take reckless or foolish risks, what I mean is calculated risks. Weigh the benefits before making decisions and if it’s okay to you, don’t fear from taking the calculated risk.
13. Don’t fear alone time.
I think everyone needs to spend time alone. It can be relaxing for your mind and body.
14. Don’t expect immediate results.
Good things take time. Be patient.

The Feynman Technique Model to learn better

The Feynman Technique is a  Mental Model  named after  Richard Feynman , a Nobel Prize Winning Physicist. It is designed as a technique to help you learn pretty much learn anything - so understand concepts you don't really get, remember stuff you have already learnt, or study more efficiently. The Feynman Technique was actually a big inspiration for this blog - I try and apply this to a lot of the concepts and Mental Models that I write about. The technique can be broken down into four easy steps, but first a quick video from  Scott Young  that sums it up very simply. Learn Faster with the Feynman Technique  So now for a recap of the steps: Step 1 Write the name of the concept at the top of a blank piece of paper. Step 2 Write down an explanation of the concept on the page. Use plain English. Pretend you are teaching it to someone else (e.g a new student). This should highlight what you understand, but more importantly ...

What is procrastination and get rid if that?

I will become an IAS officer. For that, I need the best books available in the market. I need to be enrolled in the best training institute. I need the advice of a few successful candidates. I need a separate room in my house. It must have a comfortable study table and an Airconditioner. I must have the fastest wi-fi and the best laptop to study. I must take a week's break and enjoy the fullest before I start my preparations. It's too late now I will plan for the “holiday” tomorrow. In the meanwhile, a poor auto driver's daughter was studying under street lamp from torn second-hand books at 3 am in the morning. Procrastination starts from- Putting conditions on a particular task. From the lack of urgency and non-compulsive nature of an activity. From the thought of having a perfect environment to do something. The wait for the perfect moment (which never comes) The thought of undervaluing the present moment. Fear of failures or facing complexit...

There Are Two Ways to Read — One Is Useless

Reading is telepathy, and a book is the most powerful technology invented. Homer, Shakespeare, Voltaire, Flaubert, Tolstoy, Woolf, Hemingway — these are names without a living body. We can’t talk to them, nor touch them, but their thoughts are immortalized through the written word. Aristotle’s logic, Kepler’s astronomy, Newton’s physics, Darwin’s biology, Wittgenstein's philosophy — these are memes without living originators. They no longer champion their ideas, and yet, we still talk about them. Without books, humans would never have escaped the boundaries of space and time. Each new generation would have had to learn the realities of life for themselves rather having the luxury to build on the past; knowledge accumulation would have quickly dimmed towards an asymptote. Everything that we value in the modern world has its root in invention of writing. Everything that we have accomplished has come from reading. Even on an individual level, one of the most effective way...
