A counseling philosopher who uses your own specific experiences as the basis for philosophizing with you about the nature of your life’s problems might be the answer to getting a bearing on the direction of your life.
Life
Stop Trying To Be Happy, Do This Instead
Focus on well-being increases the amount of flourishing in your own life and the lives of others. When you experience positive emotions, engagement, meaning, achievement, and authentic relationships, you flourish, and you can live up to your potential.
How To Deal With Regret
We may kick ourselves and regret an action we took right now. In the long run, though, we are more likely to regret not acting. It is all the missed opportunities that haunt us. Find purpose in life and get into action. It is never too late to start!
Your Life Is Directed By Chemicals
We get most of our happy moments from dopamine that is a short-term solution. You need to get more long lasting oxytocin into your life and that means caring for others and have others care for you. You don’t get that by spending your time on social media or watching TV.
You Are Wired To Socialize
We all need to feel we belong. Ignoring everyone to pursue your happiness will lead to the exact opposite. You can’t get your oxytocin flowing sitting home alone. So every now and then, get out and meet some real people.
How To Reach Your Full Potential And Succeed At Anything
If you want to improve, you need to get to the point where your mind is protesting. Then do 10% more. That is how you get better. Life is one big mental challenge, and the person you are competing against is yourself.
Critical Thinking, Frogs And The Boiling Water
Make fact-seeking part of your daily life. Build the habits of critical thinking and checking the data before you rush to conclusions. Stop dramatizing your worldview and see the world for what it is. Not perfect, but getting better.
Money Won’t Buy You Happiness, Try This Instead
Next time you use excuses for not having enough time to exercise because you need to make money, consider whether the amount of money you make brings you more happiness than the workout.
Being A Little Weird Is Good For You
There is no such thing as being normal. We are all different in some way. Normal is not a question of biology and genes. It is a question of social agreement, environment, and context. You can try to hide and change your weirdness, or you can embrace it.
How Much Money Is Enough?
The “money can’t buy you happiness” quote is valid only if you spend your money wrong. If you purchase luxuries and generally any goods you consume or that just sit in your house, you won’t buy happiness.
