Nothing That Supports

June 16th, 2023
As humans, we tend to prioritize things in our lives over our own well-being. However, it’s important to remember that nothing that supports something can be more important than the thing it is supporting – and that thing is you. While we may have beloved items like a favorite hoodie or t-shirt, they are replaceable. You, on the other hand, are irreplaceable. I often hear people say that work takes priority over family, but the truth is that losing a job is tough, but losing your family is even tougher. By understanding the role that objects play in our lives, we can reduce anxiety and gain perspective on their true importance.

Redefining Failure

June 8th, 2023
It is crucial to acknowledge areas where improvement is needed, rather than solely focusing on one’s strengths. Failure serves as a valuable tool in identifying these areas. When we experience failure, it presents an opportunity for reflection, growth, and progress. Avoiding stepping out of our comfort zone and only sticking to what we’re already good at can cause us to miss out on significant potential for personal development. It’s important to note that some failures may seem unfair or beyond our control, but they can still be an opportunity to improve our character. By embracing failure, we become less avoidant and more engaged, leading to greater strength and resilience.

Coffee Note: The Speciality Coffee Association recommends the best temperature to brew coffee is 200°F (93.33°C). But it’s hard to be exact, so generally any where between 195°F to 205°F (90°C to 96°C) should produce a good cup of coffee.

Achieving Control and Balance

June 4th, 2023
Have you ever experienced a lack of control and felt panicked? It’s a common feeling, but often we misplace our worries. Control exists on two levels – macro and micro. Macroeconomics deals with the economy of countries, while microeconomics deals with households. Even if I’m not wealthy and have to work, I still have control over small things like how I set up my office, what I drink (coffee), and the temperature. On the other hand, if I lose control over these small things, I may gain control over larger decisions, like choosing whether or not to interact with a particular person or work at particular job. Interestingly, losing control on both levels can sometimes lead to a sense of peace and less distress than losing control on one level alone. Perhaps, that’s why I feel calm in the dentist’s chair.
