The more I read, the more I understood, the more life questions I had, and the more incomprehensible it seems now.

I am putting down some thought-provoking questions that have hitherto found me here. I have followed a natural course and have clubbed thematic questions together. I have answered all the questions to keep an account of my thoughts on the matter. As you will see, I have some answers, but some of the questions to life still dodge me. You can completely ignore my responses and find your own.

Along with the important questions about life and their answers, I am also putting down the books that have helped me understand the matter.

I plan to update these self reflection questions and answers year-on-year or whenever my understanding changes. Made up of our imagination, but more real than real. Art helps us experience joy and pain while connecting us to the universe. The proper or incomplete understanding of the feeling with which it is made.

Creativity is the imagination that gives birth to art. It is that voice inside us. Creative practices to create consistently. They think emotional responses make them weak. People who accept their emotions and vulnerability and harness it create art: a product of imagination and senses.

That depends on how afraid I am. How much do I practice? If I keep doing the thing without being scared all the time and believe in myself, there is nothing I cannot do.

Hold on even after your hands bleed. Yes and no. If I had started before, my answers to life would have been different and that has everything to do with the time gone in between. But self development begins when we decide to move on. Here are 30 life lessons I learned in my twenties after committing many errors. Because to let go we have to forgive someone. Often, we need to forgive ourselves to move forward, and that might not be as easy as it looks.

To forgive is to believe. Sometimes I am scared to believe in goodness. But it is not important to always tell them that we were even upset. To be able to be on my own while being with the world. To produce art that further instills creativity and inspire people to live. I do get puppeteered, sometimes, because I feel.

As Daniel Gilbert wrote, feelings are what mattering means. If I feel this way, many others do, too. All I can do is to understand why I feel what I feel and how can I react in a more patient and logical and fair way to others.

I still have to learn a lot about emotions and how to manage them. Because staying stuck in a situation is easier than learning from the experience and coming out of the drama. My short-sightedness overpowers my drone view bringing misery to me and to the others around me.

I should step aside from the scene and look at it objectively. It would be hard to watch the scene from a distance, but that is the only logical way to decide what is the best action. I love prestige as much as I love pizza once in a while.

On most days I love simple rice and dal with fish fry. I know humble work is the pivot but prestige is that break I look for in between. Food is a sizzling pot of art. A good routine provides time to sleep, eat, care for ourselves physically and mentally, be with relevant people, make a living, do things that bring joy and hope the last two could be the same , and play.

Thus I can balance my physical, spiritual, mental, and earthly well-being every day. The order in which I do the daily activities matter, too. Going from the most important tasks to the least important has proven to be the most efficient. But it is best to not compare our routines with others as we all operate differently. I have a detailed article on creating a routine and other small daily habits to follow that have formed the basis of my daily life. Some days I still count the number of hours I worked when all that matters is that I managed to write or even words.

I think about the time spent watching informational videos when the intangible inspiration I absorbed from the videos far surpassed the tangible time. Whether it is a creative routine or not, we all have our challenges. The trick is to take it day by day and being okay about not having a balance. Productivity is subjective and is measured differently in every field.

When I was a coder, my efficiency was assessed by a project duration. Now I see productivity as the number of articles I publish. But if all the pieces are subpar, productivity is expensive.

A theatre artist could measure her productivity by the number of plays she has done but also by how much she has learned by watching different plays or just by talking to people.

Productivity in creative tasks is not directly proportional to the tangible deliverables but to intangible learning. Having said that, a certain number of finished projects do seem to put that learning to use and show growth.

Never fret, do your best. After all, art of learning is something, too. I set the wrong expectations. There is a thin line between pushing myself by setting higher goals and creating unrealistic demands. I misjudge the time a job would take. Be realistic. If you came back in your next life as an animal, what animal would you be? Do you hit the snooze button or wake up immediately? Do you think iced coffee should only be consumed in the summer or all year round?

Do you have any allergies? When was the last time you cried and why? What was your all-time favorite Halloween costume?

What's the worst argument you've ever been in? If you could own a mythical creature unicorn, phoenix, etc. If you could change anything about yourself, would you? If so, what and why? So let down your guard, and don't be afraid to ask and answer! Weight Loss. United States.

Sometimes we settle in dead-end jobs. Other times we settle for unhealthy relationships. From a survival perspective, fear has its purpose. But fear has a tendency to get carried away.

Instead of keeping you safe, it keeps you from improving your life and living your dreams. Have you ever been in a meeting and suddenly realized that not everyone was having the same conversation?

Not because people were talking over each other, but because they had different ideas about the purpose of the discussion. Everyone likes being looked up to, and it feels good to share our knowledge with others.

Asking the hard questions can be extremely uncomfortable. This post was originally published by Dr. Travis Bradberry on LinkedIn.
