I went from "shyest man alive" to speaking on stage.

If you're a man struggling with confidence, read this:

 I was arguably the shyest man alive.

I feared rejection
I rarely spoke up
I barely made new friends or approached women

People told me to my face "why do you never talk?"

Today I've realized the root of why I was so shy (you may have a huge epiphany moment reading this)...
As humans, we have a strong instinct to be liked by the people around us.

You see, 2000 years ago roaming the earth in tribes, you NEEDED to be liked or else you'd get kicked from your tribe, and face the mountain lions, disease, & conditions by yourself (basically meant death).
My route to achieve this human instinct - to be liked, was speak as little as possible.

Other people take a different route - speak as much as possible.

But at the end of the day, we are all aiming to be liked.
Now, I knew the root cause... how did I overcome this lack of confidence?

1st - you must accept shyness does not serve you.

Once you fully accept this and are open to change, there are 7 keys I identified that helped me become confident.

Here are the 7 keys to confidence:
1. Journaling

Social anxiety is an incorrect thought pattern.

You need to rewire your thinking.

Every morning, write 3 things you're grateful for.

Day by day, you'll reprogram your mind from anxiety to gratitude.

In 1 month, gratitude will become your default mindset.
2. Intentional discomfort

Force yourself to do uncomfortable things.

Start small and push yourself more each time.

For me:

• I approached women
• I did a 5-min ice bath
• I faced my fear of heights

Soon you'll realize they're not so bad.

Your confidence will skyrocket.
3. Inputs

I turned CNN off.
I deleted Tiktok.
I skipped sad music.
I cut out toxic people.
I blocked haters on Twitter.

Negative inputs = negative mind
Positive inputs = positive mind
4. Study psychology

I studied influence & psychology from books like:

• Influence - Cialdini
• The Social Animal - Aronson
• Psycho-Cybernetics - Maltz, M.D.

This gave me the tools to be confident in conversation with anyone.
5. New self-identity

To truly become confident, you have to change your self-identity.

Never call yourself:

• Shy
• Loser
• Sack of sh*t

You'll embody the identity you give yourself.

So identify as confident.
6. Power list

Most men lie to themselves everyday (I'll wake up at 6AM, I'll start the diet on Monday, etc)

To fix this, I created a daily list of 5 tasks that take me closer to my goals

If I did the tasks, I WON the day.

So everyday I kept promises to myself through 5 tasks.
7. Lift weights

I made fitness a priority.

And in 12 months, everything changed:

• I benched 275lbs
• I saw my abs for the 1st time
• I took my shirt off at the beach

I now looked in the mirror and was proud of what I saw.

Confidence starts in the gym.
7 keys to confidence:

1. Inputs
2. Power list
3. Journaling
4. Lift weights
5. Self-identity
6. Study psychology
7. Intentional discomfort
P.S. Right now, I'm looking for 5 men who struggle with confidence that want to lose 20-40lbs in 90 days.

If you have 2.5 hours/week, you can do this.

10 habits that’ll get you ahead of 98% of men in their 20s:

Morning sunlight.

Sunlight sends a “wakeup” signal to your brain, triggering a release of hormones.

This results in:

• Better focus
• Boost in mood
• An easier time falling asleep at night

To maximize this effect, get 15 minutes of sunlight within the 1st hour of waking.

Avoiding blue light at night.

Although light is beneficial during the day, it can disrupt your sleep at night.

This is because light from:

• TVs
• Phones
• Artificial lights

Signal your brain that it’s daytime, which suppresses your sleep hormone, melatonin.

To prevent from light disrupting your sleep, avoid screens and bright lights 1-2 hours before bed.

If you have to be around light or use tech, use a pair of blue-blocking glasses.

This will ensure you fall asleep easier and wake up feeling refreshed.

Hydrating.

Drinking enough water is crucial to:

• Boost focus
• Improve sleep
• Improve mood
• Prevent infections
• Keep joints lubricated
• Deliver nutrients to cells
• Regulate body temperature
• Keep organs functioning properly

Drink .5-1 oz per lb of bodyweight.

How to enter monk mode and do focus better than 97% of people:

Want to know the 1 secret ingredient every single successful person has?

It’s not time.
It’s not luck.
It’s not money.

It’s something makes them stronger than 99% of the population.

Effort multiplied by consistency.

They show up every day without fail.

We have to focus our efforts on meaningful goals to become successful.

Here are 4 things you can start doing right now to achieve maximum productivity:

1) Cutting the bullshit

What do you think happens when most people try to work 6-8 hours?

How many hours of that time do you think people actually spend doing productive work?

Research shows the typical office worker is only productive for 2 hours and 23 minutes a day.

Busy does not mean productive.

Here’s how you control this:

• Write down your to-dos
• Pick out a few priority tasks
• Schedule time to focus on those things

Choose the tasks that will guarantee to move you closer to a major goal of yours.

If you want to become more confident than 97% of men, read this:

For 10 years, I was the shyest man alive.

• I was terrified of rejection
• I rarely made new friends or talked to women
• People told me to my face "why do you never talk?"

But, at 18 everything changed…

My lack of confidence led to rock bottom:

• I went through a bad break-up
• I binge drank every weekend
• I ended up in the hospital with alcohol poisoning

That was the turning point for me.

I did these 5 things and now I'm more confident than ever...

Become comfortable alone.

If you’re uncomfortable alone, it shows a lack of confidence in who you are.

• Go on walks alone
• Go to restaurants alone
• Go to the movies alone

When you become happy on your own, you won’t feel a need to impress others.

This is confidence.

Show confident body language.

Around 70%-93% of communication is nonverbal.

Talking confidently doesn't matter if your body doesn't match.

• Don’t figet
• Speak slower
• Hold eye contact
• Keep your chin up
• Give a firm handshake
• Stand up straight, shoulders back

Every fitness lesson I learned after 8 years in the gym:

1. If you're not horny, you're not healthy.

2. Sugar does not make you fat.
3. Eat as much fruit as you want. Nearly impossible to overeat.
4. Most people eat due to B.T.S. (boredom, thirst, or stress) - not hunger. Before you eat, ask yourself: "Am I bored, thirsty or stressed right now?"

5. Exercise is a documented anti-depressant. CNN is a documented depressant. Adjust your life accordingly.
6. A high-protein diet is the best diet.
7. Eggs are a superfood. Not a "food to avoid".

8. Breakfast is not the most important meal of the day.
9. Hitting 10k+ steps a day is the most underutilized yet effective fat loss habit.
10. 99% can overcome bad genetics due to epigenetics (your behaviors alter the way your genes work).

11. Drink sparkling water or black coffee to suppress your appetite.
12. You can't target specific areas for fat loss.
13. Minimize liquid calorie sources like soda, cooking oils, & starbucks "coffee". These are the easiest calories to overconsume.

Thread: Central Pivot Range (CPR)

CPR is another popular tool. Three lines are plotted on the chart when we plot CPR.

The three lines are: CPR, TC and BC.

Let’s understand the calculation.


You may recall that I explained the calculation of Pivot levels in an earlier thread. CPR stands for Central Pivot Range. It is always a center line of the three lines that gets plotted in the chart.

CPR is a Pivot price. Pivot is average of HLC as explained in the prev thread.


We also discussed about Mid-range of the session. Mid-range is average of High and low price of the session.

The mid-range of the bar is known as BC in the CPR calculation. BC stands for Bottom central pivot.


Pivot level captures the relationship of the closing price to the range of the session.

Pivot price above mid-price = bullish pivot
Pivot price below mid-price = bearish pivot


So, CPR line is Pivot and BC line is Mid-range.

What is the difference between both?
Mid-range is average of High and Low.

Pivot is average of High, Low and Close.
What will make the difference between the two?

Close.

क्या आप जानते हैं कि क्या है, पितृ पक्ष में कौवे को खाना देने के पीछे का वैज्ञानिक कारण!

श्राद्ध पक्ष में कौओं का बड़ा ही महत्व है। कहते है कौआ यम का प्रतीक है, यदि आपके हाथों दिया गया भोजन ग्रहण कर ले, तो ऐसा माना जाता है कि पितरों की कृपा आपके ऊपर है और वे आपसे ख़ुश है।


कुछ लोग कहते हैं की व्यक्ति मरकर सबसे पहले कौवे के रूप में जन्म लेता है और उसे खाना खिलाने से वह भोजन पितरों को मिलता है

शायद हम सबने अपने घर के किसी बड़े बुज़ुर्ग, किसी पंडित या ज्योतिषाचार्य से ये सुना होगा। वे अनगिनत किस्से सुनाएंगे, कहेंगे बड़े बुज़ुर्ग कह गए इसीलिए ऐसा करना

शायद ही हमें कोई इसके पीछे का वैज्ञानिक कारण बता सके।

हमारे ऋषि मुनि और पौराणिक काल में रहने वाले लोग मुर्ख नहीं थे! कभी सोचियेगा कौवों को पितृ पक्ष में खिलाई खीर हमारे पूर्वजों तक कैसे पहुंचेगी?

हमारे ऋषि मुनि विद्वान थे, वे जो बात करते या कहते थे उसके पीछे कोई न कोई वैज्ञानिक कारण छुपा होता था।

एक बहुत रोचक तथ्य है पितृ पक्ष, भादो( भाद्रपद) प्रकृति और काक के बीच।

एक बात जो कह सकते कि हम सब ने स्वतः उग आये पीपल या बरगद का पेड़/ पौधा किसी न किसी दीवार, पुरानी

इमारत, पर्वत या अट्टालिकाओं पर ज़रूर देखा होगा। देखा है न?

ज़रा सोचिये पीपल या बरगद की बीज कैसे पहुंचे होंगे वहाँ तक? इनके बीज इतने हल्के भी नहीं होते के हवा उन्हें उड़ाके ले जा सके।

Magudeswarar Temple, Kodumudi
#Erode
#Tamilnadutemples 🚩

Situated on the banks of the river Kaveri, Magudeswarar Temple is one among Paadal Petra Shiva Sthalam. Kshetram is famous Parihara Sthala for Naga Dosham and for performing Tarpanam to the departed souls.


There are 3 sannidhi here for Paramashiva, Mahavishnu and Brahma Deva.

Sthala Puranam says that once Adisesha and Vayu Deva placed Meru parvat at the centre to decide who is stronger among them. Parvatam was held tightly by Adisesha and Vayu blew the wind to push Parvatham.


In this struggle, peak of meru  parvatham broke into 7 pieces and fell in different places as precious gems. Diamond fell at  Kodumudi as Magudeswarar. Panchamirtham abhishekam is very famous here. Vanni tree situated here is very old which contains medicinal values.


It is believed that Agasthiya Muni did Prathishta of Shiva Lingam here. As Adisesha is one of the reason for creation of the temple, this is famous Parihara Sthalam for Naga Dosham. It is believed that those who


who take a bath in the river Kaveri and worship paramashiva and mahavishnu, will be cured of diseases and will get relief from all illness.

1/People I know on the Right tend to be obsessed with the idea of "crimethink", taboos, and the (supposedly) oppressive, omnipresent enforcement of liberal cultural norms.

Why?

My new theory: A lot of it is guilt.

2/It's true that in some circles - the media, universities, many big corporations - liberal norms *are* enforced to some degree, and the enforcement has probably gotten stronger in recent years.

But I don't think this explains all of the Right's obsession.

3/The stereotype is that people on the Right tend to be more threat-sensitive. That would help explain the perception that liberal norm-enforcers are lurking everywhere, ready to pounce and anathematize anyone who makes a misstep.

But I don't think that's all of it either.

4/And of course, it's always fun - whether you're on the Right or the Left, or playing a video game, or whatever - to style yourself as the brave iconoclastic rebel fighting against the oppressive forces of blah blah blah.

But I don't think this is all of it, either.

5/The reason I think it's more than these things is that even *in private*, people on the Right express their "crimethink" ideas very gingerly and hesitantly.

I get the sense that they're not just afraid of external censure, but have also internalized liberal norms.

It is tested exquisitely with a hypersensitive non-specific RT-PCR test / Ct >35 (>30 is nonsense, >35 is madness), without considering Ct and clinical context. This means that more acute respiratory infections are reclassified as

The Drosten RT-PCR test is fabricated in a way that each country and laboratory perform it differently at too high Ct and that the high rate of false positives increases massively due to cross-reaction with other (corona) viruses in the "flu

Even asymptomatic, previously called healthy, people are tested (en masse) in this way, although there is no epidemiologically relevant asymptomatic transmission. This means that even healthy people are declared as COVID

Deaths within 28 days after a positive RT-PCR test from whatever cause are designated as deaths WITH COVID. This means that other causes of death are reclassified as
