After reading self-help articles what happens?

Magic!

New life!

Changed you!

Six packs!

Bank people calling you to let you know that your money has grown exponentially overnight

Nasa offer letter

Googles even bigger offer letter.

Yes, all this is true.

Come on you can DO IT!

It's within you

Universe.

Karma.

Jumping

More Jumping...

and then?

Life again back to square one. Bulging tummies frowned faces and squinted eyes fixated on a youtube video titled "Most inspiring speech ever"

Thing is...

self-help articles are like chocolate bars, makes you feel good, next bite little more good, the third bite OH WOW and when it's over mind going....wait that's it?

I am going to give you a killer self-help advice now because I have read quite a lot on this topic (8 billion articles and 98483848343 minutes and counting)

Do.

Now, check this completely random pic to make my blog look like the BAUSS.

The best way to remember what you have read

Looking at the stack of books piled up on the study shelf, I am left to wonder, gosh! How much of the things I have read do I ACTUALLY remember? Curbing the existential anxiety, I guess the best way to remember what you have read is to show a keen interest in what you are reading. In the moment, how in tune are you with the words that you gleen over. Is the author making sense? Are you able to connect with the printed ink? Are you circling around some lines more often trying to relate it with previous readings Otherwise, why read that stuff in the first place. The above line is both a lesson in rigid thinking and hyper-practical. I am a habitual reader and a habitual forgetter. Forgetting things all the time gives me used to give me a sour sense of remorse. And then one day, over a conversation with a friend, he suggests, why don't you instead think of it as "You learn something new every time, every day". he then goes to add, "Fine! You may not rememb...

The Internet has, but also

The internet is a place where we get to learn a lot of stuff. These days you can learn how to fix (insert whatever it is that you want to fix here) over on the hyper fast net In villages, many where internet has just come to life, it has given birth to innovative methods of generating electricity, waste disposal etc. In the cities, it tells me where Rajesh is exactly so that I can time my lift just in accordance to his exact arrival and be on my way to another day at the office. So in short internet has helped us quite a lot, to know exactly how much it has helped you can google - 'advancements due to the internet' In this post, I wanted to touch up on a rather dark side of the moon internet. Well, again this also has been discussed extensively through many articles and ted talks, one of which is this one - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C74amJRp730 - Digress ends here - One of the things that the internet does is, it makes me not want to call people to ask f...

Happy hormones

Are there happy hormones and sad hormones in our body? Ya. But sad hormones are nothing but the body not being able to produce certain essential hormones that eventually F#$Ks the body up. That's just sad. More on happy hormones now, Ya. Serotonin, Dopamine, Oxytocin, Endorphins, Norepinephrine, Adrenalin These are the so-called happy hormones, or hormones that seem to regulate our happiness. When we exercise we release a mix of Endorphins and adrenaline into our bloodstream. We start feeling like Jason Statham from the movie Crank. Dopamine is released when we achieve something. Like right now I am feeling mini droplets of dopamine being registered in my brain as I finish writing each para each sentence each word. Oxytocin is best described by the bonding of mother to her child. Even other mammals other than humans (the most greedy mammal) are said to be releasing oxytocin. Serotonin, contrary to popular belief is actually produced in the stomach rather th...
