The great Covid social burnout: Why are we so exhausted?

   While post-socializing fatigue isn't a novel experience, it has been exacerbated during the pandemic and has affected both introverts and extroverts alike. New Statesman examines the cause of our collective social exhaustion. The big picture: In 2018, a group of researchers in the Antarctic found that their emotional capacity had been significantly reduced in the duration of their stay there. This was termed a “psychological hibernation” that caused them to feel dull and less lively. The pandemic has caused a similar situation. Soon after COVID-led restrictions eased across the world, people attempted to jump right back into their pre-pandemic social routines. Trying to make up for lost time resulted in a blur of events - at the end of which were sulkier moods, low motivation, poor emotional resilience, bad sleep and weight gain. How it works: Experts explain that since our brain wasn’t stimulated by people or different experiences during the pandemic, it got used to being...

Do siblings ever stop hating each other?

  Do siblings ever stop hating each other? Although sibling rivalry is a natural part of childhood and can even be formative by teaching children how to handle conflict and interact better, sometimes it can carry into adulthood and lead to estranged relationships for life, Reports BBC. The big picture: Several studies indicate that up to 45% of adults have a rivalrous or distant relationship with a sibling,  Per The Wall Street Journal. A UK poll found that most compete over things like their career (26%), being a homeowner (22%), who's the favourite child (20%) and other issues like holiday destinations, material gains, and parenting skills,  Per Brinkwire. Between the lines: Since children are not equipped with the ability to determine what's upsetting them and haven't mastered controlling their emotions, they tend to fight a lot with their siblings. Being competitive is human nature; siblings provide a natural point of comparison, experts say. Since they've grown up ...

What's the one thing all successful Business people have in common?

 Yes, they all work hard, they read books, etc.  But here is one thing no one talks about... Had I learned this earlier... I wouldn't have failed at 4 businesses. I'd experience way less stress. I'd make way more progress and save years of time. The one thing that all successful people have in common is they all have a mentor. No matter what industry, no matter their net worth. Every successful entrepreneur had a mentor. And still have mentors. Why? Let me explain... The reason is actually very simple. It took me 4 years and 4 failed businesses to learn that I cant do this on my own. I was tired of constantly starting from scratch. I couldn't spend another few years seeing no results. I knew I needed to change something... So I started looking for a mentor.  I realized I need to find someone who already has the results I want and learn from them. And a few weeks later...I came across a podcast from an entrepreneur who grew a company from 0 to 100M in a year. And he was ...

7 NON-SEXUAL ADVICE I WISH I KNEW SOONER

  Your mental health is more important than your career, money, other people's opinions, that event you said you would attend, your partner's mood, and your family's wishes, combined. If taking care of yourself means letting someone down, then let someone down. Love is a form of intimacy and you can't have intimacy without vulnerability. If your past makes you avoid vulnerability , you will never have intimacy. Avoiding vulnerability feels like self-defence but in the long term, it's self-harm. 99% of the harm is caused in your head by you and your thoughts. 1% of the harm is caused by reality what actually happens and the outcome Most of the time, the problem isn't the problem. The way you think about the problem is. You can fix most of your problems just by fixing your thoughts. If you want to feed a problem , keep thinking about it. If you want to starve a problem take action. Problems feed off worry. Action kills Anxiety . Nobody is as successful as In...

5 ways school is secretly trying to keep us poor

 1. School doesn't teach us about life. From 1st-12th, we spend 12960 hrs in school without learning:  Financial Literacy Mental Health Taxes Time Management Act of Kindness 2. School want us to be in Debt A Broke 18year old can go  Rs.600,000/- into debt for college, but cant get a 25,000/-Loan to start a Business. (Read that again) 3. School punishes us for failure Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently. 4. School teaches us to put our money in a saving account instead invest our money. if you make 40,000/-/year and invest 25% of your annual income with @12% your savings could grow to roughly 90,00,000/- after 40 years 5. School teaches us to listen to our superiors. Instead, its important to be wary where you get your advice. You cant take advice from people who have failed at what you want to accomplish.
