If you are low in hierarchy, you will be stressed out by default.

Either move up the hierarchy, or move to a new hierarchy where you could be at the top, or take up spirituality and move up the spiritual hierarchy.

Either way you need to ascend hierarchies.

This is the only OG stress management tool you need.

This is an absolutely mind bogglingly incredible research paper that outlines the growth of the Ego.

Tons of minute detail and nuance is here in this 97 page long research paper.

This paper explains the growth of he human ego right from being a child to adult and even higher maturity than an adult.

If you wondered why people care too much about others, are too manipulative, exploitative or greedy, don't untilise opportunities etc, the most fundamental reason is that they have a poorly developed immature ego.

And most adults are man-childs. They have grown into the body of an adult but their ego is still underdeveloped.

Highly recommended everyone to read this paper, especially if you are into pscyhology. This feild of study is generally termed as developmental psychology. It studies and creates models on the evolution of the human psyche.

You are never angry at anyone.

You are angry at your own idea of that person and how they ought to be.

For someone playing their petty little immature zero sum status games,

1. Minimise your interaction with them as much as possible.

Interact with them only when you absolutely have to.

2. Be far more disagreeable with them.

The difference of the ambience with & without blue lights is absolutely unfathomable.

I am immediately more relaxed and calm in the absence of blue light than without it.

This alone should convince you to stay away from blue light or mitigate its effect as much as possible.

Your ego constantly underestimates the time and energy you need to invest in a project to make it succeed. Having the right expectations is crucial for success.

The prevalence of stress in your life is an indication of lack of strategy in the same.

Here is a conclusive litmus test to see if you are living life at the fullest.

Every day will feel long.

"Life well spent is long".

When you are trying new things your neurons will fire excessively so time slows down for you. If you can't even remember what happened yesterday, then the chances are that life feels empty and listless for you. There are many degrees to this.

You could push yourself every day that each one feels like a small milestone, not due to external accomplishments, but due to your internal state of mind. It should feel overwhelming everyday. Rather than waiting for society to push you to do great things, which they will to small degree, you should take the initiative first hand to do it yourself.

Be in control of everything. Even the things that can make you suffer.

A fool is so hopelessly ignorant while a wise man is thoroughly aware of the extent of his ignorance.

Reality itself is the biggest drama, the most amusing conspiracy and the most fascinating cult.

The petty bullshit of human beings bores me.

It always come short of the reality which is so complete and fine tuned to perfection.

Life is fundamentally about:

1. Asking questions and figuring things out.

2. Doing lots of work and building things.

Those people who fail to learn from mistakes from the past will learn from bigger mistakes of the same kind in the future.

Life is long enough for those diligent enough to take action.

A rich country is not the one in which the rich people drive around in super cars.

A rich country is one in which even the rich people choose to use public transportation.

Nothing grows you more than almost dying and coming back to tell the tale.

The more I grow old, the more I make peace with how everything is perfect the way it is.

As society gets more and more advanced, the bigger penalty you pay for being a fool.

To not aggressively go out of your way to study the principles of life is to live in 20% efficacy of your true potential.

With each new principle you learn, your efficacy exponentially improves since each principle can cut through the bullshit of your own deceptions for that is the source of all your inefficacy.

Bullshit is like an inhibitor while Truth is like a catalyst.

Life is effectively war. How can you win it without knowing the principles?

Integration happens when you are truly at peace with yourself. when you are in a loving environment. That when you decompress and compress the thoughts in your brain.

This is the diffused mode of thinking vs the focused mode of thinking. The most important thing to take note of is when you are in a diffused more, do not distract yourself with social media and other bullshit.

Social media junk is an inhibitor to integration of your own psyche. This is why doomscrolling is such a creativity killer.

Being Outcome Independent and Goal Oriented.

You will keep working irrespective of whether it would generate results or not. You have to treat work sort of like a lottery ticket.

Taking the ticket is like putting in the work. At the same time, there is no guarantee to get results, although your goal is to get results.

This approach helps you to weed out burn out and stress. Burn out and stress never comes from the work itself that you are doing. It is always about things outside of work, that are loosely connected to your work.

You are worried, if you are working correctly, or that it would produce the results as you need it. That's all bullshit since relevant results can be accumulated over a period of time.

Outcome independence frees you from having to generate outcomes in the immediate moment.
This way you can prioritize long term results, which is what actually matters.

Goal Oriented.
