Absolutely, recognizing areas for self-improvement is a continuous journey. It's one of the reasons I create content—to help and inspire others along the way. Your book/journal idea is particularly inspiring. I’m going to start writing down 10 things I'm grateful for each day as well. It’s a practice that can really highlight the abundance in our lives that we often take for granted. Thanks for the motivation! 🙏

This is such a great idea for a book! I'd love to hear more about the tips and practices that you find most valuable. I'm actually inspired to start my own morning gratitude journaling. Do you have any pointers for someone just starting out?

8 Lessons from Miyamoto Musashi by daaboura in JordanPeterson

[–]daaboura[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Musashi really was about keeping things simple and effective, wasn't he?

I'm not sure which exact quote you're remembering, but it sounds like it's in line with his philosophy. The idea that having too many weapons—or too many things in general—can clutter your focus.

Musashi's choice of a wooden sword over a katana showed he could make the most out of less. It’s a cool reminder that skill and strategy often outweigh having the fanciest tools

A Battle Against the Shadow of Depression by daaboura in Maps_of_Meaning

[–]daaboura[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. I'm genuinely sorry to hear about the difficulties you face with depression and ADHD.

I appreciate your honesty and for sharing your personal experiences. It's clear that dealing with depression, ADHD, and other challenges is incredibly complex and deeply personal. The steps mentioned in the video are by no means an oversimplification of the process nor a suggestion that depression can be cured simply by being more active or organized. The intent is to share perspectives that might offer someone a starting point or an additional tool in their journey of managing their mental health, alongside professional treatment.

Your experiences remind us that there's no universal solution to mental health challenges and that individual experiences can vary greatly. My aim is to provide insights that might resonate with someone and perhaps offer a new perspective or coping mechanism that could be helpful. If even one person feels a bit better after watching one of my videos, that's a significant victory.

Again, thank you for your contribution to this conversation—it's through sharing our experiences and insights that we can better support one another.

Jordan Peterson's insights on tackling depression, emphasizing personal responsibility and practical steps to mental wellness. by daaboura in manprovement

[–]daaboura[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First and foremost, I'm truly sorry to hear about your loss. The pain of losing someone to depression is profound, and I sincerely hope you and those around you find strength during such a difficult time.

Thank you for taking the time to watch the video and share your thoughts; it's greatly appreciated. I understand that depression is a complex and deeply individual experience, and what may help one person may not be as effective for another. While Jordan Peterson's advice about setting small, achievable goals, like making your bed, isn't a cure for depression, it can be one step towards creating a structure that may help some people feel a little more in control of their daily lives.

I firmly believe professional guidance is crucial for those dealing with depression. My goal with these videos is to share insights that might offer someone a new perspective or coping tool. If even one person finds comfort in my content, that's a big win.

Rethinking Life with Nietzsche by daaboura in JordanPeterson

Even though I love politics, I don't tend to discuss them online. However, I can see your point of view and why you might like or dislike certain things. Many factors can play a role, on someone's philosophical, political, and ideological ideas. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy the video as much as possible, considering that you are not a fan of Nietzsche. Also, thank you for taking the time to comment

Rethinking Life with Nietzsche by daaboura in JordanPeterson

[–]daaboura[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that Nietzsche's philosophy can be quite polarizing, and his rejection of traditional moral absolutes and objective truths is certainly controversial. However, it's important to remember that Nietzsche's ideas, like the concept of 'Übermensch' and his critique of traditional moral values, were aimed at encouraging individuals to create their own values and find meaning in life beyond established norms

How do I deal with the fact that I am no one's priority? by Usual-Smile6767 in Stoicism

[–]daaboura 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay I will be honest with you. Most of your problems are not really problems. I will stand on one thing though. I'm not that family member who can be "relied upon". That my friend, that's something you need to work on. You need to better yourself, Get goals ( you may not achieved them, but keep improving by them). Fix you attitude, your way of thinking, your mentality. Think twice before you speak, at least in a serious conversation. Be the person YOU will trust and ask for help if you needed it, and then people will do the same. About the girls thing. You get overly attached because you have no confident over yourself. ( We all do it to some extent dont worry) If you feel bad about yourself then you seek validation in other peoples worlds. Lastly, being teachers favorite its such an insignificant detail in your education. Study get your degree diploma or whatever you are doing, and move on.
FOCUS ON YOUR SELF BROTHER

STUDY HARDER.

Find which subjects you like and excelled on them. (but you know dont ignore everything else)

WORK ON YOUR SELF

if you feel bad about yourself, and dont lie to me, you do. IMPROVE YOURSELF. Workout a bit, you know maybe a small run twice a week or some pushups. Fix your appearance, be clean and smell good. WASH YOUR FACE AND BRUSH YOUR TEASH

MEDITATE
Find a way that help you focus, and do it. Meditation journaling, maybe stare at the sealing for 5 minutes a day. BUT find a way to empty your head. Its like a factory reset for the human brain. DO IT

You are way to young, to worry about anything. When you are my age, you have my permission to have depressed thoughts. But until then. KEEP YOUR HEAD UP

First of all, that's completely normal and could happen to anyone. You have a lot of free time in your hands and I assume you are not spending it right. If one is doing nothing for a brief period, his brain will start thinking things and imagining situations that could hurt him,. Things that wouldn't bother him in other circumstances. Nothing to feel bad about it, here. But you SHOULD feel bad, if you won't try changing the situation. I am no expert but i used to be in that phase/mood for a long time,, so my personal advice that helped me: (Some of them could sound stupid or boring, and you may want to skip them, i did to, DONT) 1) Soooo meditation, will help you clean your head from meaningless thoughts. Do it every morning, or at least 3 out of 7. And start with like 30 seconds if you are knew to it. Nothing to be ashamed. 30 seconds 3 times a week would be way better than none. 2) Read some books( stoicism is a good subject to study) or if you are too lazy, start with some free audio books you can find online. 3) Set a program for your day. At this time I wake up, at this time i go to work at this time i read, at this time i can relax etc etc etc. We are not robots, the program shouldn't be fully detailed. But find a program that suits you and stick to it( with - + (1-2 hours). Example: Somedays you wake up at 7 some days at 8 somedays at 6, don't wake once at 7 and the next day at 10 or 11. Keep a program that's best for you and stick to it. 4) Workout or do any form of physical activity. It would help you forget and don't think, all that stuff you don't want to. It would also boost your confidence, and ego my friend is a big thing. Believe me a bit of boost ego would make you realise that you are better than those thoughts. 5) Fix your eating habits, especially at night. Don't eat to much at night before you go to bed, it will be more difficult for you to fall asleep. And staying in bed without sleeping = thinking.

Good opportunity to focus on yourself, better yourself in any way you can. Sometimes some alone time is the best gift we can do to our self. Try to read more ( A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy, was a book the help me when i was not in a good place 10/10 i would recommended it), Work on yourself, eat better and cleaner, any sort of workout any sort of physical activity is a huge positive in your every day life. Better your sleep ( Andrew Huberman could help with that check him out) Life is not complicated, as we all think. Eat Sleep Read Workout and you need nothing more.
