Questioning Everything Can Be Life Changing Habit

in life •  3 years ago 

Reading, exercising, meditating, eating nutrient-dense meals, maintaining a journal, and drinking enough water are all beneficial habits that you don't need a blogger, YouTuber, or social media sensation to tell you about.

Such articles have been written by me. However, societies are evolving. People are becoming more aware of their surroundings. We are more conscious of what we do, what we eat, and how we live.

There is a lot of personal development advice available everywhere. Everyone appears to be preoccupied with self-improvement during the last few years. You may say that self-help advice can be found in the mainstream media.

Even traditional stores have material on their websites about overcoming procrastination, personal budgeting, and wellbeing. So it's all over. Many health documentaries are available on Netflix.

However, while such advice may appear to be sound at first glance, closer examination reveals a number of flaws:

Which advice is the most accurate? In blogs and articles of this nature, there is a lot of contradicting advice.

Why do people fight so hard for their beliefs? We can tell that some people are closed to alternative viewpoints.

People give counsel for a variety of reasons. What are the interests of the people? Why do people spend so much time and effort persuading others that certain things are true?

As an independent blogger who doesn't respond to anyone, it's my responsibility to cut through the clutter, get to the heart of the matter, and extract the fundamentals. So my true desire is to discover the finest way of living for myself, not only to share it with you.

One thing I've discovered is that, in general, strategies and precise suggestions are almost ineffective. System and broad instructions are my main interests.

For example, I am not overly concerned with my eating habits. I understand that a person's food isn't the only element that influences their health and longevity. Many people live long and happy lives despite having a "poor" diet.

For me, this is the most significant factor. You can eat both plant and animal meals. However, I find it repugnant when individuals claim they need to consume plants or meat to be healthy. It's a categorization that's really black and white. There is always more in the water than what is visible on the surface. To put it another way, the visible part of the iceberg is significantly less than the half that is submerged.

“What do you think?” said one of my friends after sending me a YouTube video titled “512 behaviours that altered my life.” I watched the video and remembered some advise I had previously given on my blog.

While viewing, I thought that all of the advice given was superficial. My outlook on life shifted last year. I discovered that the more I read and wrote about life, the less certain I became. Now I see life through the eyes of this picture:

Everything in life can be applied to what is depicted in this image. We only see what is visible on the surface. The iceberg is simply the tip of the iceberg. However, we have no understanding how the iceberg appears underwater. This is something we can't see unless we delve deep.

What is the reason for this? Because the moment you make a conclusion about something, you cease to evolve and grow. Without realising it, we all do it. The weird thing is that we all want to grow and improve, therefore we're all interested in guidance.

We do, however, join and leave groups, ideologies, and particular belief systems. And then we cease improving and growing. However, we are completely unaware of this. It appears that we're on to something good. We eat well, stay productive, and, most importantly, we feel like we're part of a group of like-minded individuals.
