Digressions: Wandering into a time dimension completely unmapped

by Thomas Agrait

You see, the main problem lies in our minds. We are always too quick to judge ourselves and are always the first ones to beat ourselves down.

Constructive criticism pushes us towards progress and helps us unravel our hidden potential. On the contrary, negative criticism only makes us lose our confidence, and we end up destroying our potential. Constructive criticism is recognizing where you lack and pushing yourself to improve yourself, while negative criticism is downright degrading and berating yourself for not handling a certain task in your life.

Sometimes we are often more scared of failing than anything else in our lives. The important part is realizing that our failures do not define who we are. Failure is an occasion, a lesson, an instance, or even a moment – but it is not who you are. It does not define your character or your abilities to overcome problems.

Judging others is a waste of time because it is not going to impact them in any way.

Research shows that feeling grateful has a significant impact on your levels of positivity and happiness. It is clinically demonstrated that when we experience gratitude, our brain releases hormones linked with social behavior. When humans express and feel gratitude, the brain produces oxytocin, a hormone that is important for bonding with other people. Even when you are experiencing a challenging time in your life, you can usually find things (even small things) to be grateful for.

Revise your Mental Model. The mental model is the model of the world we have in our minds. It includes embedded assumptions, generalizations, or even images living in our minds. These models shape our worldview and, in turn, impact our behavior. The way we view this world tells us more about our behavior. Those who view this world negatively will always behave in a pessimistic manner, while those who view it positively will behave optimistically.

Conclusively, letting go is the perception of living, in all its real sense. It's a concept that allows you to feel reality the way it is. Acknowledge the fact that you have given enough, even without getting the same back in return. You know you have been open. You have cried enough, and now is the time for you to smile. So even if you fall hard and feel like you've hit rock bottom, it doesn't mean that you can't rise high up again. Letting go is like loving even when you think you cannot do it again. Once you let go, you will see the magical way with which things will begin to unfold for you, all in good time. It means getting through life with all the positive and negative experiences and coming out stronger and better. Persistence is the only key.

There are various mileages of collaboration. It helps you share what's in your heart and mind. It helps you understand the other person's perspective. It enables you with better solutions to your problems. The collaboration will ensure to release the burden that you carry on your shoulders.
