What materials are you talking about? I found out about this from my ex-classmate who reads a lot. I tried it & it worked for me. I can't say that now I read at the speed of light ... I just read a little faster.

Just look at the text! Practice makes it perfect.

If you still do these mistakes in the present, then you need to take action. You can't fix what you did in the past; you can only choose what to do now. Do not blame yourself. It is useless! These past mistakes serve only a single purpose: they show you what doesn't work! - I suggest you to think deeply about this statement. (I mean, to figure out exactly what you did wrong...so you won't repeat it again.) If you did nothing wrong, then forget it & move on!

I think all of them. I probably missed some old ones. The first video I stumbled upon was "Spiritual Enlightenment - The most SHOCKING Truth you will ever hear" and I was literally shocked. I have never heard something like that before. My favorite ones are "curing perfectionism" , "how to stop comparing yourself with other people" and "fake growth vs real growth"

Experiment more with sitting & see if you have less tendecy to become distracted. Give it some time, a week or so & If you notice that you check your phone less and less , then it's good! If not, then maybe the exercise is not for you. Try something else, mindfulness for example. There are many exercises that have the same role of making you more aware....they are just different.

Basic tip: When reading, if you have a voice in your mind that's narrating what you read, get rid of it. Read without the voice! Why? Because you can see & understand faster than speak. The narrating voice will get in your way of reading faster.

When doing reps....I make a specific sound when it gets hard....it's like a signature sound!!! Many people have it. Makes the workout funny & enjoyable "Heeep!"

Congratulations for your improvements man !!

"I can handle it" this is one of the affirmations I use that became internalized.

@electroBeam I've noticed that too. Decided to not get involved in those discussions. So yeah,really there is a subtle battle between perspectives which isn't of any help because, in fact ,all roads lead to the same destination.

Oh my god man!!! Such an insight... you changed my life forever

Amm.....firstly, 'extroverted' and 'introverted' are just labels that divide. You are both exroverted and introverted. They are 2 opposite poles of one spectrum; they are 2 sides of the same coin.? Secondly, if you lack social skills , my suggestion to you is, when you want to meet new people, salute them & tell them the purpose of the conversation. For example 'I want to know the best places where I can have fun. Could you help me?' or 'I'm looking for new friends. What's up?' Then, introduce yourself & get to know each other. Thirdly, to make people laugh, just be spontaneous & authentic. It may seem that you have to make an effort to be like that when I'm telling you 'Be spontaneous!' but you don't have to do anything. It doesn't require any effort.? Theory? Intensive working? Hope you're not thinking too much about it. You don't need theory, maybe learn a few good jokes. It's more a 'go with the flow' thing. Make sure that 'intensive working' equals having fun with as many people as possible. Do not expect anything. If it didn't work like you wanted, try again....do not blame yourself. It's of no use. ? Hope it helps!!!?

Feel good that you're an introvert. Being aware doesn't mean that you won't have to do anything. In principle, awareness doesn't need effort, but going out to talk needs effort. It's logical (you have to make an effort to open your mouth and let the words come out...lol) Be aware while you're out with somebody talking. If you can't, maybe next time. And something else.......don't think that much!

I hope you'll not feel offended but I laughed at this so hard!? DO IT...if this is your life purpose!

Woo..that's cool! ?

I remember Leo mentioning in a video that self-hypnosis is a tool for self-actualization... but I forgot which one.

Definetly great book! I still remember when I first read The New Earth ... I understood nothing ... it took me 3 good re-reads to really understand it. It is the first book that introduced me to the ego.
