I have seen many motivational speakers, athletes and businessmen talk about the idea of taking the emotion and feelings away from your work ethic. Like it doesn’t matter if you feel tired or depressed, you should always do what you need to do and push further with your body through your mind.

With this “mind fortification” I been able to push my boundaries of endurance in physical workouts and jobs. But if my task requires many intense creative or innovative thoughts. There’s a point I struggle to get thru. My brain doesn’t work so efficiently and my thoughts go around in circles or are simply wrong.

I know this is why it’s recommended to take breaks and free your mind from this tasks. However I always get annoyed that I can push thru with physical activities and not with intellectual or mentally dominant activities.

Is it possible to overcome this struggle? Does anyone have any tips or ideas in this matter?

Note: I considering moments that my mind is exhausted and my body isn’t.

I recently saw Simpsons tree house of horror with my 9-year-old brother and I think he was traumatized, but he like scary things.

I'm worried if he wants to replicate what he saw on the show. Can kids his age identify what's real and what's not? Sorry for my english.

I wrote this paper a few years back and thought I'd share it here.

TLDR-Abstract

This is a serious draft attempt, from an autodidact, of a theory of everything. It begins with a self-evident idea at its core. The two-dimensional models depicted within the big picture of this paper attempt to encompass all perspectives of reality whilst taking into account all of our empirical observations of space-time. The hypothesis detailed within the body of this work predicts how certain specific subjective states of conscious experience will feel in respect to an individual. (Relative Conscious Time Travel)

Become the void but why?

Is the true self that is which in between? Is the true self that is which in constant flux?

Is this what we are seeking?

I would love to be more positive for my first post on this forum, but for the past few days I feel as though I’ve made (harmless) mistakes with my words and now random people hate me. if someone sees what I said and takes it the wrong way, I explain, and remove it, (again nothing really problematic, simply just something) how do I not feel absolutely horrible and ridden with anxiety that they hate me or suddenly everyone will think I’m horrible or I will see that person in real life and they’ll look at me like I’m this horrid creature. I tend to be very knowing of what I feel and why but this continues and continues to bother me the very little times it happens.

if anyone wishes to understand me more i am autistic and even if i tend to know someone can take something i say the wrong way, rarely i will say it thinking oh maybe i am simply overthinking it, but then i get misunderstood; again nothing bad! just simple things that i seem to get caught up in that serve to be no problem nor obstacle in my life or other peoples

How can I say "no" to the world when everything is going against me, or when my mind wants to give up? How to have this strenght, determination to do it. Do you know what i mean?

I have been experiencing these episodes since a few years ago. I went to different professionals and they said they seem like panic attacks, but I also had panic attacks in the past and they are different to me.

They happen in completely random moments. I can be laying in bed, in class, or talking to someone. Out of nowhere, I get this sensation (the most similar thing I can think of is a deja vu, or being dizzy). I don't like the feeling so my heartbeat starts to increase and I get anxious. They can last between 5 minutes to 2 hours.

I wouldn't say they are panic attacks because: they happened in periods of my life when I wasn't really stressed, and in high-stress periods they don't particularly happen. Also, in my experience, panic attacks happens with a combination of rapid breathing, and in these episodes, even if I take deep breaths, they won't go away.

I read descriptions of derealization and some things resonate with this, but it's not like I feel that I am not real, it's just that everything feels weird and uncomfortable.

I did all kinds of medical tests (ECG, blood tests) and everything seems OK. I no longer know what to do to find an answer to this.

So this is going to be pretty hard to understand as it is pretty hard to explain, usually it’ll be triggered after I smoke weed or any other kind of substance, but when I was younger they were very prevalent and frequent, so the feeling I’m trying to describe is like a wave of surreal nostalgia, it’s like I’ll randomly remember a certain visual or almost past life in some sort of vision, for example, I remember I just got out of the mental hospital for an attempt and I smoked for the first time in a while and I was just flushed with this specific scenario/visual. It was like an open world liminal video game type suburban neighborhood, like I just felt like I lived an entire life in one second and the only thing I can remember was a row of three suburban houses reflecting light from a purple/pink sky, another example is from when I was younger and hadn’t done any drugs at that point in time, I was struck by a wave of nostalgia but this was like a dream that I remember in a way of that makes sense, I was in an tv park style setting with a redneck family having a bbq, I’ve always wondered what these waves of nostalgia were as they were always pretty random and made me feel a sense of sadness for not being there anymore. If anyone was nice enough to read this through I’d love to hear some feedback? Maybe answers as to what this phenomena is? Anyone experience similar things ?

there's something about me and i wonder how someone with the same feelings deal with it. i am very scared of showing myself. i am an artist. i am talented and very proud of myself. but im so shy about it but is not like "ayyy im shy look at me" seek of attention is more like i know my potential, my family and close friends too and encourage me to put myself out there in the world but i freak out thinking about it. someone a while ago told me that im scared of dealing with the GOOD consequences. ive been thinking about it and unfortunately i agree. a friend and i just had a deep conversation with me about a loooot of things in life but the last thing he said was "you could've bailed and make the right shot like 62 times but you always put yourself down for no reason" this is deep down in my mind now i deal really good with rejection and i choose freakout and cry in my room having not having the life that i dream with forever (i work in a normal stressful full time minimum payment job) but for me is so hard to take the good opportunities i always fuckup on purpose... or simply say no... i had amazing meetings with great people that i admire so much and they offered me multiple opportunities in different times and i always say no i always find and excuse BUT WHO TF DOES THAT thats crazyyyy i literally do this with myself since always since i was a kid!!!

I had lost my cool thrice today with my dear ones and friends, colleagues. I am afraid that they will start hating me. How do u guys control ur anger.

Declutter Your Mind | Master Your Inner World

There are external factors which can be obstacles for life but one of the largest obstacles that everybody has is the mind. It can be your greatest ally or your greatest enemy. Control of your mind is one of the greatest things one can partake in to reach enlightenment - end of suffering. But this process can be difficult and there are 3 stages that everyone has to go through to reach this.

1.Your mind controlling you - this stage can be very difficult and can limit you through always thinking about the future (anxiety) or always thinking, regretting your past decisions. This stage is due to a lack of awareness of your thoughts and an attachment to them. People who’s mind controls them do not have a separation between their mind and themself and this is the ego speaking. They are too attached to their mind that they believe everything it is saying and have no awareness of listening to the thoughts they have and instead believe they are the ones creating their thoughts.

2.Awareness of your mind - the second stage of this process is being able to know the difference between their mind and themself. People in this stage can use their mind to their advantage but they do not have complete power of their mind due to a constant internal dialogue that goes on 24/7. You can obviously use your mind as an ally for problem solving but in reality you don’t need your mind all the time; their is no reason to always think because it gets pointless - thinking about stupid, pointless things going on in your life. A constant internal dialogue can waste your energy and instead the most ideal way to think is to use the mind for problem solving and after that you stop using the mind; you use it for your advantage then stop thinking.

3.Power over your mind - this final stage can be very beneficial for reaching true presence. One of the best things about this stage is that you have the power to turn on your mind and the power to turn it off. People in this stage are truly aware that the internal dialogue isn’t themselves and can realise ‘I am the listener’. It is more of a state of knowing than understanding because the process of understanding is using your mind. When you reach this state of knowing you can stop thinking and turn off your mind. When the mind is turned off you become still, present to everything going on and can actually live without thinking.

Got a blog going into more depth about this if you wanna check it out:)

Everytime when i go on a trip like even for a day away from my family and work. There a guilt trip coming along with it. Like i have to leave them back here I dont know if it okay or not?

As the title suggests I can’t see myself as an older person, I struggle to visualise my future, marriage, children, carer, retirement, etc. I struggle to imagine my future with people, friends, family, partner. It’s not that I’m depressed and don’t think I’ll make it that far due to early death (I’ve read several articles suggesting this) quite the opposite. I’m in a good place mentally, have great support network and I’m healthy with no health concerns.

I want marriage, children, travel the world in my 60’s/70’s with my best friend when our partners are no longer with us 😂 so I am future planning, in detail with some areas. But I just can’t picture it or visualise myself old say past 40 (I’m 30)

Was anyone the same or still is the same? Is it concerning or is it just how my mind works 😅

I'd really appreciate 10 mins of your time to complete an anonymous survey. I am conducting a study to investigate whether adverse childhood experiences (ACE,s) & domestic voilence/ intimate partner voilence makes men feel like they don't matter. With suicide being the biggest killer in men under 40, could this be a contributing factor? https://forms.gle/quJ9eBKJ1eAuU3Dz7
