some random realizations:
– never buy fresh detox from Bon — they basically just mix banana, citrus fruits, and carton juice (Viko or smth)
– getting reassured once again that bruschetta with salmon is my favorite snack of all time. raw salmon in general is just heavenly ✨
– you really are what you consume. that includes, especially, social media. step back and objectively assess your own thinking from time to time. what takes up most space in your mind?
if intrusive thoughts make up most of your days, chances are they’ll make up most of your weeks and months too.

must be fascinating to build and then observe your own creation developing patterns you didn’t fully anticipate
and then trying to figure out if what you’re seeing is “real” in any meaningful sense.
the emotions paper was interesting but also carefully hedged using the word “emotions”

"Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom."
I've been listening to this podcast with Dr K. (Huberman's, check it out) and also this video with Le Cunff. one of the ideas encompassing both of the discussions is how much better those who tolerate uncertainty do as opposed to those who don't.
I met with a few quite interesting people in the past few days, including some students who by all means can be considered quite accomplished but who keep applying to unis abroad (specifically US, right) because that seems like the main thing to "tick."
and while determination and persistence are gonna be among the main drivers of ur growth, i think there is a line between useful determination and obsessive desire to follow a linear success path. let me explain.
getting into a top uni in the US (!) is one step forward in this imaginary ideal version of ur life. perhaps it's more justifiable for hard science students. getting an internship at a big tech (for CS students) or a big four (for business students) companies is the next step. and as long as u do ur part well - keep on pushing, keep on the hard work - you should presumably be able to follow this path smoothly. sure thing, studying at those unis or working in those companies is gonna be a real struggle. but at least you can be at peace knowing you're doing everything just right. or no.
in the second video, they discuss the linear and experimental models of success.
if you take two factors - curiosity and ambition - and map a graph, a matrix with them as axes, you will get 4 fields, 4 different subconscious mindsets that can heavily influence the way you perceive the events in ur life.
first is the cynical mindset (worldview, perception, u name it). that's when you've lost all ur ambition and curiosity and might even make fun of those who are still driven by crazy ideas and are "naive" with high ambition. u might be spending most of ur time doomscrolling, reading negative news and then discussing those negative news with others
second is escapist mindset. u are still curious about a lot of things, but you let go of a lot of ur ambitions. binge watching, shopping, or daydreaming about ur future perfect life instead of taking concrete actions to get to those dreams.
perfectionist mindset - high ambition, low curiosity. trying to escape uncertainty through work. if you get to that next goal, like in a career ladder, then, then you will be happy.
these three above all change and vary depending on ur situation and aspects of life you're dealing with.
last one, experimental mindset, is when you have both high ambition and high curiosity.
with this one, you are not chasing a linear success path that gives you the illusion of certainty but rather stay open for experiments and unexpected turns in life. you see failure as data points, information to derive new solutions from. we all like to quote that failure is a must in success, but how many of us get extremely frustrated and miserable for weeks when things don't work out the way we expected? got rejected from college, company, whatever. the very same stubbornness that helps you to get towards ur goals might hijack ur overall track by overfocusing on "how things should've been" instead of "what can i do now?" because if everything works out as expected, probably you've stopped growing. so. keep on asking questions, make yourself feel slightly dumber than comfortable. go forward with work that you don't have a clear plan for. stay curious. you've got enough ambition, anyway.
P.S. the witch broom and hat is from our workplace. received a special package ahahah
