Evolving minds (youre always on your way to another version of yourself)

Evolving minds (youre always on your way to anotlageher version of yourself)Evolving minds (youre always on your way to another version of yourself)Why do people behave the way they do?For centuries, philosophers and psychologists have debated personal identity, and what makes a person. And although today we know a lot more about what it takes for a person to persist in time, we certainly dont know everything.Anas Nin, the great French-born novelist, once wrote Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moreSince you were born, you have encountered innumerable people, experiences, books, films, and cultures that have continuously shaped your perception, cognition, memory, knowledge, etc. Even though you the saatkorn person, it is indisputable that you have evolved over the years.Change isnt simply an important aspect of life - its life itself. Your mind and body are changing every second of every day.Daniel Gilbert writes in his book, Stumbling on Happiness,Human beings are works in progress that mistakenly think theyre finished. The person you are right now is as transient, as fleeting and as temporary as all the people youve ever been. The one constant in our lives is change.All of our experiences are constantly changing us.Your natural personality (e.g, introvert/extrovert, and character traits) may not significantly change. A major personality change usually isnt part of this evolving process.Although a persons behaviour may change under different circumstances, personality is fairly stable and not easily altered, says Dr Michele Leno, DML Psychological Services, PLLC.But your worldview or reality about life and living it keeps changing to shape you into who you think you should become. You dont possess the saatkorn consciousness as your younger self.Many people today still believe that who they are now is pretty much who they will be forever, according to researchAfter examining the responses of more than 19,000 people gathered over four months in 2011 and 2012, the researchers - Daniel Gilbert, a professor of psychology at Harvard University and author of the book Stumbling on Happiness, Jordi Quoidbach, of the National Fund for Scientific Research in Belgium, and University of Virginia psychologist Timothy Wilson - discovered that even though most people acknowledge that their lives have changed over the past decade, they dont believe change is constant.How you think and everything you consider to make informed decisions about your life and career is still evolving.If you are a life-long learner, you evolve rapidly than you realise because of the different mental models, ideas, and life principles you learn about every day.The reality is, we are constantly changing, ev olving, and being changed by everything around us. You are either becoming a better version of yourself or worse version of yourself if you are not open to growth.Recognising that we are constantly working to evolve ourselvesis critical to success, says leadership development expert Liz Bentley.She calls this process stepping into your power.Your consciousness (and the physical body) is in a perpetual state of reassembly, always becoming with or without your consent.For millions of people, emotional struggles sabotage their ability to demand the best of themselves as they evolve. So they end up living the realities and expectations of others.To take complete control of your evolving process, and move closer to the best life you want for yourself, you need to improve your self-knowledge and notice when your environment or people around are drawing you to their perceptions and whether thats what you want for your future self. Adjusting your self-conception to account for this truth ma y be profoundly liberating.The French philosophical giant, Michel Foucault, once saidI dont feel that it is necessary to know exactly what I am. The main interest in life and work is to become someone else that you were not in the beginning.In life, we never cease to become, even when you pursue happiness, marriage, or a better retirement, and ultimately get what you want, that new reality changes what you want about life, and has an effect on your worldview going forward.Our environment, our relationships, and our perspectives will remain in continuous change, and with this change will arise new difficulties, new directions, new understanding.As we evolve, we take pride in the accomplishments of each passing stage of life, but time will demand that we continue to roll and change.The important thing to remember as you evolving is to aim to become better than who you were yesterday and not to hang on to who you were and limit your potential growth. Be careful of the natural temptatio n to hold tightly onto the past.To latch onto and aim to maintain a particular state or stage of life is an untenable fantasy and a deliberate rejection of potential metamorphoses. Whether we wish it or not, existence is always interfacing with and altering us, as we are it. To accept this truth is to reorient oneself away from delusions of destination. To deny it is to reject the opportunities offered by change, to yield to what Nin calls death, writes Jordan Bates.To change is to vacate the past and move ever-closer to a better end.But careful you dont become anything. The possibilities are endless and exciting. Your future reality and what you become should be a choice you alone should make. Beware of the influences around you.R. Buckminster Fuller, a renowned 20th-century inventor, systems theorist, author, designer, and futurist once saidI live on Earth at present, and I dont know what I am. I know that I am not a category. I am not a thing - a noun. I seem to be a verb, an ev olutionary process - an integral function of the universe.Integrating this idea into my own life has been a gradual and ongoing process. I endeavour to immerse myself in my chosen experiences and open myself up to new and better transformational experiences.And the more Im able to do this, the more I feel that, though changing, I am precisely where I need to be - not stressing too much about the past, or worrying endlessly about the future but making the most of the activities and environments available to me presently.Closing thoughtsYou cannot stop change, you can shape it.You are constantly changing - on a journey you have no choice but to take - embrace the inevitable and shape it to your advantage.Personality traits are fairly stable for everyone, but different perceptions, worldview, and exposure to diverse environments and culture are changing our minds about life and living it.You and I are in the processes of becoming, and choosing to see ourselves in this light can hav e a big impact on your understanding of human transformation.This article first appeared on Medium.

How to prevent burnout even when youre in love with your job

How to prevent burnout even when youre in love with your jobHow to prevent burnout even when youre in love with your jobDo you feel passionate about your job? The vast majority of professionals we surveyed recently said they were. Deloitte conducted a marketplace survey of 1,000 full-time U.S. professionals in a range of industries to better understand the drivers and impact of employee burnout. And we were surprised to see the role passion plays in the prolonged stress that leads to burnout.With 87% saying theyre passionate about their current job, you might think the number of burned out employees would be relatively low. Youd be wrong.Three in four respondents told us they have experienced burnout in their current job, with more than half telling us they felt burned out more than once. Of course, passion does help to mitigate burnout somewhat - rates were higher among those who reported elend feeling passionate about their job.But in some ways, passion may also contribute to burn out. When we asked survey respondents why they dont use all of their vacation days, the top reason cited was, I worry that issues would arise if I was away from my work.Passion is a wonderful thing. It drives purpose, engagement, and productivity. But when you become so passionate about one aspect of your life that you forget about the others (like vacation, for example) then it can be a sign of trouble.I know this from personal experience how easy it can be to miss the warning signs of burnout when you are passionate about what you do. But here are some lessons I learnedCheck-in before you check-out Mindfulness can be a powerful thing. Take the time to check-in with yourself and reflect on how you are feeling in body, mind, and purpose. Awareness is half the battle when it comes to preventing burnout.Make recovery a priority Dont let your vacation days go to waste. And dont forget to make recovery a daily part of your life. Small breaks throughout the day can have an incredible imp act overall.Let go This may be one of the hardest things to do when you are passionate about your work, but its important to trust in your team members. Whether its delegating projects, requesting coverage for your vacation, or simply asking for help, your colleagues can have your back because youll have theirs as well.Get your move on Whether its a leisurely walk, a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) session, or your favorite Zumba class exercise releases the feel good chemicals in our brain called endorphins, improves mood, and clears the mind.Have an attitude of gratitude A thank you seems simple, but dont overlook its powerful and lasting effect on your life. Research shows that the practice of gratitude can lower blood pressure, improve sleep and immune function, and help us feel calmer.Talk it out In our survey, we asked respondents how they deal with their burnout and over half (51%) say they talk to friends or family. Connecting with your social support network is a gr eat way to not only relieve stress but also learn new coping mechanisms. When I experienced burnout, connecting with a friend and mentor helped me step back and reassess what was important to me in my life.If you are a leader in your organization, then its not only yourself you should monitor but also your teams. When asked about the reasons why they felt burned out at their current job, survey respondents reported that lack of passion wasnt the problem. Instead, lack of support from leadership was cited as the most common reason.Its not surprising that employees want to see and feel that their leaders support and recognize the work that they do. After all, wouldnt any employee want a boss that is as passionate about them as they are about their work?April is Stress Awareness Month and what better time to departure developing positive habits in stress management. Plan your vacation days, be mindful of your well-being, and show your appreciation and support for your colleagues and te ams. Kindle your passion, but dont let it burn you.Please read our disclaimer information here.This article first appeared on Thrive Global.

How to manage your boss and yes, its a thing

How to manage your boss and yes, its a thingHow to manage your boss and yes, its a thingIf youre a working adult (of any age), youre probably used to managing your own schedule, priorities, and workload. But have you ever thought about the need to manage your boss/manager? Because believe it or not, its a real thing and its referred to in business management as managing up.I know what you might be thinking isnt it my boss job to manage me? Why do I, then, have to think at all about managing them?Well, to put it simply, its because if you dont at least try, youre setting yourself up to fail slowly over time. Your boss is this other human being who is arguably one of the most important relationships youll ever have at work so the way you manage that relationship can drive your career and personal development forward fast OR lead to your demise.The best way to go about managing your boss is by taking ownership over your end of working relationship, specifically when it comes down to communication, expectations, and problem-solving. Here are some tips on how to go about doing thatBe clear about your career goalsA good manager strives to advance his or her employees into roles that are well-suited for their personalities, skill sets, and career goals. The more your manager knows about where you see yourself in five or ten years, or even in the next 6 months, the easier it is for them to empower you to achieve those goals and set you on the right path within the organization.When problems arise, think about solutionsA common mistake people make when interacting with their boss or manager is bringing up complaints and problems without any thought about how to solve them. Worse yet is giving your manager the impression that you expect them to fix everything for you. The better way to approach problems is to still bring them up to your manager, but when you do, also come prepared with ideas on how to solve them. This accomplished a few things 1) it demonstrates your own willingness and ability to solve tough problems 2) it increases your managers chances of successfully helping you resolve the issue, and 3) it builds trust and rapport between the two of you and decreases the likelihood of angst and frustration at the outcome.Give your manager honest feedbackAlthough you may not consider it often, your manager needs constructive feedback about his or her performance and leadership just as much as you need feedback about how youre doing. Sharing what you think is going well is one thing, but you should also remember to go straight to your manager when you dont agree with something theyve said or done. Nobodys perfect and they need your input to know what they could be improving on tooBe clear about whats missingAlthough almost every yearly performance evaluation (if you even have those) allows an opportunity for you to answer questions about what you need to perform your job successfully, a lot of people tend to just mumble a quick, I guess so r ather than share their honest feedback. Let your manager know what you need to perform your best at yearly evaluations AND on a regular basis a clearer job description, retraining on certain skills, or support in a certain challenging area are a few examples. Your managers goal is to provide you with everything you need to be successful, but they cant possibly know what you need unless you share that information with them.Ask questionsAny time your manager has delivered news you dont like, requested you complete a task you dont feel qualified to perform, or otherwise frustrated or confused you, ask questions rather than casting judgment and getting frustrated. Questions that might help you work through your concerns will vary based on the circumstances, but here are few great examples of respectful, fact-finding questionsIm feeling confused. Can you help me understand how completing this task first would help us meet our goal faster?I dont feel qualified, but I would love to. Can yo u help me get the training I need?Im sure that was a complex decision. Can you explain what led you to decide that so I can understand too?Asking questions can be a non-challenging way to get on the saatkorn page before allowing your emotions to take over.Managing your manager isnt a total cake-walk, but it doesnt have to be super hard either it just requires focused effort and an open mind on your part. The reward for doing it is high you may be able to stay with the same company for many years in a fulfilling career that you actually enjoy and want, rather than have to start all over at a new job and company where the same issues arise or your boss is even worseThis post was originally published on Kununu.com.

Oftentimes youre not doing the day-to-day technical stuff anymore, Suffredini says. For the average technical person whos a lef t-brained, analytical thinker, its not a natural transition. So you need to be prepared for it.Training doesnt necessarily mean going back to school to get your MBA. You can study on your own, through reading, taking online courses, or participating in leadership seminars. Another option would be to find a mentor whos in the field.

That means its important to work on your interpersonal and communication skills.Management and leadership really come down to people.

This is the point when cold weather becomes dangerous

This is the point when cold weather becomes dangerousThis is the point when cold weather becomes dangerousSome people are truly into the winter - and who doesnt love the part where you get to snuggle up ina cozy sweaterwith a hot drink after a long dayin the snow? But even if you arent someone whofeels the cold, sometimes the weather can actually get so frigid that its dangerous to go out. But when is it too cold, and what should we do to stay safe? Wrap up and read on.How cold is too cold?The point at which cold gets dangerous is a higher temperature than you might think, especially if you live somewhere that frequently sees temperatures in the teens or lower. Its safe to be outside if the temperature is 32F or above, saysDavid A. Greuner, MD, FACS, co-founder and director of NYC Surgical. If the temperature falls between 13F and 31F, you should take breaks from the cold approximately every 20 to 30 minutes. If wind chill temperatures are 13F and below, you should remain indoors. W ind chill measures the true danger of weather conditions by factoring in how the low temperature and wind speed combine to remove heat from an exposed menschengerecht face. To get a better idea, check outthis chartcreated by the National Weather Service. For example, if the ambient temperature is 20F and the wind speed is a breezy 10 mph, the wind chill is a significantly colder 9F.Even worse for us than the wind is water, warnsMichael Richardson, MD, a Boston-based family medicine practitioner with One Medical. During the winter, we try to insulate our body with warm clothes that trap in our heat, but what if that protective layer becomes drenched when we have to slog through the snow, or we trip in a slushy puddle? Wet clothes can lead to a rapid drop in your temperature, as the thermal conductivity of water is roughly 30 times greater than air. This means water transfers heat away from your body more effectively than air, so youll get colder faster. Thats helpful in summer, but i n winter, Dr. Richardson cautions, it can be a fast track to hypothermia.Who is fruchtwein vulnerable?While 32F is the limit for most people, some people are extra susceptible to the cold. Dr. Richardson explains, Most people can get away with going out in the cold if dressed appropriately, but very young toddlers, infants, and the elderly have more difficulty regulating their body temperature. If you are going out with your child or an elderly person, you may want to plan ahead to minimize their exposure to the cold.Janette Nesheiwat,MD, a family and emergency medicine doctor in New York, adds, Cold injury is exacerbated by dehydration, drinking alcohol, and being ill or if you have an underlying medical disease like Raynauds disease, peripheral vascular disease (PVD), and circulatory problems. If youre already battling health problems, dont add cold on top of itWhen does frostbite occur?Its most famously associated with Arctic explorers, but frostbite isnt picky. Frostbite can occ ur when a body part isnt properly protected in the extreme cold, Dr. Greuner warns. The colder the wind chill is, the quicker frostbite comes on. According to that National Weather Service wind chill chart, if its 0F outside and the wind is blowing at 15 mph, creating a wind chill temperature of -19F, youre at risk of frostbite after being exposed for just 30 minutes.The condition starts slowly and gets gradually worse. The first symptoms of frostbite are sore, red skin, which is called frostnip, Dr. Greuner says. If you are experiencing these anfangsbuchstabe symptoms, get indoors immediately The extent of the damage is measured in four different degrees - similar to heat-related burns - Dr. Nesheiwat says. The severity of your injury, she tells us, is determined by the depth of tissue freezing. First-degree frostbite starts when your fingers become painfully cold, may change color to red and then maybe turn grey or blue. You may get tingling and loss of sensation. The worst type of frostbite, the fourth degree, is deeper than the skin, and includes muscle, nerves, and bones, and can sometimes lead to amputation. In this very advanced stage, Dr. Greuner adds, the skin becomes very hard and cold to the touch and darkens depending on your natural skin color it may look blue and later turn black.What precautions should we take?If you can, stay inside when its below freezing outside - but if thats not an option, start by dressing the part. In addition to a hat, gloves, scarf, and warm shoes or boots, Dr. Greuner suggests you layer up. Wear three layers of loose clothing. Your first layer should keep you dry, the second should be made of an insulator like fleece, and the third should be wind- and waterproof, he says. If you can, he says, take regular breaks from the cold, every 20 to 30 minutes. And if you notice any signs of frostbite, go straight inside.Unfortunately, its not just frostbite you have to worry about. Avoid strenuous activity, because events lik e heart attacks occur often in the cold, Dr. Nesheiwat says. Pace yourself, stay hydrated, and avoid alcohol because it gives you a false sensation of warmth. Be aware that the impact of cold can creep up slowly. As Dr. Richardson explains, Mild hypothermia presents subtly - you become short of breath, your heart beats faster, and you start to shiver. These are all signs that your body is trying to compensate for the cold, so take this as your first warning that its time to head indoors for some hot cocoa. Well take one of those too, please.This article was originally published on Your Coffee Break.
