This Moment
By Leo Babauta We all suffer, every day: worry, procrastination, anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, irritated, angry, frustrated, wishing things were different, comparing ourselves to others, worried we’re missing out, wishing other people would be different, feeling offended, loneliness, fear of failure, not wanting to do something, wishing we had less fat or bigger boobs or bigger muscles, angry at being controlled, wanting to find the perfect someone, wishing our partner was more perfect, stressed about finances, not wanting to think about problems, not knowing how to fix things, uncertain about choices, rushing from one task to the next, not liking our jobs. And yet, these problems are self-created. They’re real, but our tricky minds have created them. Try this, for a minute: let all of that go for a moment, and just pay attention to the physical things around you right now. See this moment as it is, without all the things you’re worried/frustrated/angry about. It is perfect, as it is.
Life is a game. This is your strategy guide
682k shares Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Real life is the game that – literally – everyone is playing. But it can be tough. This is your guide. Basics You might not realise, but real life is a game of strategy. Most importantly, successful players put their time into the right things. Childhood Life begins when you’re assigned a random character and circumstances: The first 15 years or so of life are just tutorial missions, which suck. Young adult stage As a young player, you’ll have lots of time and energy, but almost no experience. This is the time to level up your skills quickly. Now that you’re playing properly, your top priority is to assign your time as well as possible. This may sound simple, but the problem is you won’t always know what tasks to choose, and your body won’t always obey your commands. How to obey your own commands Many players find that when they choose to do something – say “go to the gym” – their body ignores them completely. This is not a bug. Where you live
El yo es una ilusión que vive en una realidad virtual
Estamos tan familiarizados y satisfechos con la experiencia de nuestro yo que preguntarse si realmente ese yo existe parece como si fuese la pregunta de un retrasado mental. Y sin embargo la neurociencia moderna se plantea esa cuestión precisamente, a saber que el yo, como ya decía la filosofía hindú hace más de tres mil años, es maya, palabra del sánscrito que significa engaño, ilusión o lo que no es. En la filosofía védica se acuñó la palabra Ahamkara, palabra compuesta de Aham, que significa “yo” y kara que designa todo aquello que ha sido creado. Una persona diminuta sentada en un cine dentro de una cabeza humana, mirando y escuchando todas las experiencias que tiene el ser humano. Teatro cartesiano El filósofo estadounidense Daniel Dennett llamó a este proceso el Teatro Cartesiano, es decir, una especie de quimera de que en alguna parte del cerebro existe un lugar donde todos los sucesos mentales convergen y son experimentados.

The Pixar Theory
Every Pixar movie is connected. I explain how, and possibly why. Several months ago, I watched a fun-filled video on Cracked.com that introduced the idea (at least to me) that all of the Pixar movies actually exist within the same universe. This theory covers every Pixar production since Toy Story. A Bug’s LifeToy Story 2Monsters Inc.Finding NemoThe IncrediblesCarsRatatouilleWall-EUpToy Story 3Cars 2BraveMonsters University The point of this theory is to have fun and exercise your imagination while simultaneously finding interesting connections between these fantastic movies. [SIDE NOTE: All text in blue indicates updated edits since the original version] You can read the full theory below, or watch this summarized video that was made and narrated by Bloop Media. Brave is the first and last movie in the timeline. In Brave, Merida discovers that there is “magic” that can solve her problems but inadvertently turns her mother into a bear.

15 Things That Emotionally Strong People Don't Do
There is a particular aspect of mental strength that is the deciding factor of whether or not you will have a good life. There are many levels to mental strength and all are needed to be successful and happy. The one particular area of mental strength that has the greatest impact is that of emotional strength. Emotions are, of course, a part of our psyche, yet nevertheless, can be distinguished from the remainder of mental qualities because they most directly influence our physical body. They affect the way our body functions and they drive every single one of our actions. Emotions are our greatest motivators. 1. Needing attention is directly linked to emotion. 2. Emotional strength requires resilience. 3. If you’re holding a grudge, then you already care more about a situation than you should. 4. Emotionally strong individuals do what they do because they love doing it. 5. 6. People are mean. 7. 8. If you’re afraid to love, you don’t have enough confidence in yourself. 9. 10. 11. 12.

What motivates us at work? 7 fascinating studies that give insights
“When we think about how people work, the naïve intuition we have is that people are like rats in a maze,” says behavioral economist Dan Ariely in today’s talk, given at TEDxRiodelaPlata. “We really have this incredibly simplistic view of why people work and what the labor market looks like.” Dan Ariely: What makes us feel good about our work?When you look carefully at the way people work, he says, you find out there’s a lot more at play—and a lot more at stake—than money. In his talk, Ariely provides evidence that we are also driven by meaningful work, by others’ acknowledgement and by the amount of effort we’ve put in: the harder the task is, the prouder we are. During the Industrial Revolution, Ariely points out, Adam Smith’s efficiency-oriented, assembly-line approach made sense. To hear more on Ariely’s thoughts about what makes people more productive – and happier – at work, watch this fascinating talk. What have you noticed makes you work harder – and better?
