Let's Choose The Reality You Want To Make Ourselves Live
If you have been reading my articles for a long time, you may have noticed that my articles have included scientific research recently. Let's take a break from talking about scientific research today and imagine two very simple scenarios, and take a look at how our daily thoughts, how we view life, what we speak, in short, all our activities affect our lives.
In your first dream, imagine yourself in an extremely messy house. As soon as you wake up, you think how bad your life is. You are always critical of yourself throughout the day. Most of your friends are people who complain about life all the time. When you meet with them, you either talk about people you don't like or complain about the world altogether.
You are problem oriented, not solution. You see life as a web of troubles. Isn't everyone lucky except you anyway? According to you, nobody knows your value. The TV series and movies you watch are mostly of the kind that contain violence. You do not engage in any activities for your spiritual care during the day. Besides, you don't have time for that anyway. Just like you have no time to exercise. When you feel stressed, you turn to junk food. When you do this, the cruel critic in you sheds criticism.
Are you getting bored because of this dream? Well, then you have noticed the negative effects of just imagining this type of life on our mood.
Let's come to our second dream. In this dream, you wake up to an orderly and fragrant home. You have beautiful plans for the day in your head. Your circle of friends is full of positive people. You feel good when you meet them. Your friends and you are solution-oriented people, not problems.
There is no place in your life for toxic people who put you down and demoralize you. You trust yourself and life, you don't see yourself as a victim. You are aware of negative thoughts that pass through your mind from time to time, but since you are aware that your mind is the sky, and thoughts are clouds passing by, the presence of your negative thoughts does not bother you. You are a realistic optimist who is aware of the negative but takes care to nurture the positive.
During the day, you definitely spare time for activities related to your spiritual care such as yoga and meditation. You exercise regularly and feed your body with foods that are good for you. You pay attention to your sleep patterns and stay away from violent TV series and movies. You spend your time with activities that will benefit you and the world.
Yes, which dream do you like? What dream do you want to make yourself live? Is it her first dream or her second dream? As these two examples show us, our words, the series we watch, movies, the books we read, the music we listen to, the way we spend time with our friends, the words we make to ourselves, our daily behaviors combine one by one and form our reality. And these are all choices.
Yes, issues like pandemics or natural disasters are not under our control. However, we shape a large part of our lives through our behavior. So let's make it a habit to pay attention to how we speak, think and behave throughout the day. And let's choose the reality that we give ourselves through all our actions.
It Is Possible To Reduce Or Increase Time With This Method
***I am starting the article with a very good example.*** While reading this article right now, you may be looking at the things waiting to be done, reading your mother's messages about how much she misses you, on the one hand, looking at the notifications of your caller to talk to you, and on the other hand, you may be trying to sort out the mails that fall into your mailbox. We do not even count your dentist appointment that you constantly postponed, what dinner you will cook for dinner, the accumulated clothes waiting to be ironed in the fridge...
Regardless of who we live with, what we do, all our responsibilities and who we are, we are all under the pressure of time. The results of a study conducted in the **USA in 2011** indicate that more than half of the participants have no free time, and two-thirds feel like they have to do everything they do in a hurry. While the vast majority of the waking hours are consumed by our responsibilities related to our work, we have to spend the few hours after work on activities such as exercise, housework, socializing with our friends and family, divided into minutes.
When you look at this table, with a simple calculation, you may think that the time pressure on you is due to insufficient time and excessive responsibilities. But research suggests that the feeling that we don't have enough time for what we want to do may be just a subjective illusion.
A study conducted in 2005 with 7000 people actively working in Australia calculated how much time the basic habits (work, housework and self-care) required to sustain life took in total and compared this time with how much free time the participants spent during the day. The results are quite surprising: It turned out that those who think they work the most, that is, those who claim to have the least free time, have much more free time than the other participants.
The most important point that this research points out is that our perception of time is directly related to what we value in life and what we spend our time for. Working less and earning less money, working too hard to spare time for our loved ones and devoting the vast majority of our time to our responsibilities at work are actually our own choices and preferences, in direct proportion to the value we give them.
Therefore, in order to understand why time is not enough, it is extremely important to understand psychological factors based on our mentality and perception, as well as numerical data such as 24 hours a day or our responsibilities.
**Enjoying what you do**
According to the results of a study conducted in **Ohio with a group of 800 participants in 2004**, women participants felt more time pressure and more depressed when they did more than 10 hours of housework per week. However, no such result was found in male participants who did the same amount of housework. The researchers discovered a similar pattern in volunteer work among the tasks assigned to the participants: male participants who spent their time doing voluntary work felt less depressed, while female participants who worked voluntarily during the same period experienced more stress associated with time pressure. Researchers trying to understand the reason for this difference reached the following conclusion: Men spent their time with activities that could be considered more enjoyable such as mowing the lawn and playing games with children, and women were spending their time with daily, small and unpleasant tasks such as parents' meetings, washing the floor, and preparing food. In other words, even though both parties allocate the same amount of time to housework, they had a very determinant role in the time pressure they felt '**pleasure**' from work.
Just like a day we spend on vacation flowing like water Just as it is an endless day under intense stress, when we are constantly trying to train work, what determines how long time is actually depends largely on our subjective perception, that is, how enjoyable the time period was for us.
Moreover, the same applies not only to our daily work, but also to our business responsibilities. According to the results of a comprehensive study conducted with 2500 employees from the technology and financial services sector, people who are more passionate about their work and work in the field they are interested in complain less about the timelessness and do not feel obliged to 'train' their jobs compared to other employees.
If you also complain about the lack of time, if you complain about not being able to train something no matter how hard you try, you can analyze in detail how much of your work and responsibilities you do with passion, how much you enjoy, how much of it overwhelms you. As you start to devote more of your time to the responsibilities you enjoy and passionate about, you will find your time management frustrations decrease significantly.
My Inspirational Book Recommendations on Productivity: Time Management Books
In this article, I would like to share with you these books, which I found very useful for a while. Be it at home, at the office or on holiday. Even if you have flexible working hours, even if you work in a job whose entry and exit times are clearly defined, you may be looking for ways to use your limited time in the world much more accurately.
Why do we find it difficult to use time "**correctly**". The most important point we all overlook when talking about time management is the fact that time is unmanageable. Even though your work, responsibilities, needs and desires change in the same period of time in your life, time is actually not something that changes or needs to be managed. It is not in our power to make ***25 hours*** a day or stop minutes using time management techniques. All we can do is make appropriate changes in our lifestyle by managing our responsibilities wisely and being aware of the psychological factors that affect our perception of time.
If you don't remember when you last took a break, have trouble focusing, and complain about spending your entire day at Zoom meetings and not having the opportunity to do anything during the remaining hours, it is time to make some changes in your lifestyle.
We have brought together books for you with inspiring suggestions and strategies regarding focused work, efficiency and productivity that will help you use time more accurately in both your business and private life.

Psychological Reasons for My Boredom
We all get bored from time to time thinking about how monotonous life is, that we cannot enjoy anything, nothing different. It is quite clear that pandemic restrictions, which have been in our lives for quite some time, have an important role in our boredom. However, even before the concept of pandemic entered your life, there were times when you felt bored with the work you did, the lessons you listened to, the movies you watch, in short, everything.
In the routine flow and monotony of life, it may not always be possible to find something different and exciting every time, to feel the liveliness and colorfulness of life. Especially in a period when our options are very limited and many of our freedoms are under restriction.
Studies show that boredom is caused by a significant inability to concentrate attention and awareness, and our inability to fully pay attention to something feeds the feeling of boredom. The main problem we face when looking for the reasons why we are bored is that we look for the reasons of our distress not within ourselves, but in external factors that we cannot control.
While boredom can sometimes offer great opportunities for our creativity to emerge, sometimes it can also include risks such as anxiety, depression, anger, lack of social skills, weight gain, and even premature death. In order to understand the nature of boredom and boredom and to anticipate possible risks or opportunities, we must first be able to analyze the psychological factors that cause us boredom.
When boredom is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind for almost all of us is the feeling of stuck and helplessness caused by having nothing to do. Boredom is defined as a situation accompanied by unpleasant feelings that cause an intense lack of interest and difficulty in focusing while trying to fulfill any task, responsibility or activity. In existential psychology approaches, boredom is called a feeling of longing that is caused by the meaninglessness of life that we cannot fully satisfy no matter what we do.
Boredom is a universal feeling that all people on earth have experienced at least once in their lives. Studies show that 30-90% of adults struggle with boredom at some point in their lives. While these rates increase up to 98% for the young population, it is among the results of the research that men are more bored than women. In addition, many studies show that education level is strongly associated with boredom, and uneducated individuals are more bored than those who receive education.
Boredom can also be a determinant of many negative situations such as feeling of loneliness, anger, sadness and anxiety. The famous philosopher Kierkegaard states that boredom is such a motivating force that people can do anything to suppress the pain of boredom.
While Kierkegaard's approach to adversity is pessimistic, research on distress shows that the motivation and driving force provided by adversity can be managed to benefit.
**Mental monotony**
The emergence of boredom actually follows a very similar process to mental fatigue. Many simple activities we do in daily life, such as a project that requires constant attention to the same details and details for a long time, or waiting for a bus for minutes at the stop, can come back to us as boredom. When we proceed on the same experience by following the unchanging processes and steps; So when what we focus on is predictable and repetitive, whatever we are concerned about, we lack the stimulus and it becomes inevitable for us to experience boredom.
**Flow and lack of harmony**
Although it is challenging, our preoccupation with experiences that closely match our talents and abilities, the state of harmony and harmony, which we can call "**in the right place, at the right time**", are among the most important psychological processes that determine whether we will get bored with anything.
When the competencies we have are at the level and appropriate to meet the difficulty level of the experiences we encounter, we can focus without getting bored because our goals are clearer and we can get faster results. However, we can easily get bored when we cannot catch this harmony and flow, that is, when what we experience is too easy or too difficult.
**Need for innovation**
When you observe other people around you, you can easily see that some are more likely to be bored than others. This difference in when and in which situations people can be bored is closely related to how much space they can make for innovations in their life. People who can experience less innovation, excitement and diversity in their life may be more likely to get bored than others. It is also explained by this need that people with extroverted personality traits are constantly in search of innovation and do not hesitate to take risks to eliminate their boredom.
**Problems with focus**
Research on boredom shows that boredom may be largely related to attention problems. Situations and experiences in which we feel bored often consist of things that do not interest us and cannot pay attention.
However, it is not possible for us to understand whether the things we cannot fully pay attention to are of interest to us. Those with chronic attention-related problems (such as Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity disorder) may be more prone to boredom.
The Role of the Family in Psychiatric Problems in Children
Personally, I have such problems. It has always happened to some times in every family. It may be possible to prevent diseases from being passed from mother to child!
According to researches, anxiety - the exaggerated response to stress and other psychiatric problems - can be passed on in non-genetic ways.
For example, it is a known fact that among the survivors of the Jewish genocide, their children are transferred to high vulnerability against stress.
***Genetic and non-genetic inheritance are two different but complementary mechanisms for transmitting information from one generation to the next. It is necessary to develop tools to decide whether the familial existence of a disease - unlike genetics - is based on a non-genetic mechanism. The positive thing is that; Unlike genetics, the non-genetic inheritance of a disease is not inevitable and can be prevented if detected in a timely manner.***
**Professor Miklos Toth**
These results are obtained from mouse experiments where it is possible to distinguish genetic influences from others.
Our study helps explain why individuals can present symptoms of anxiety, depression, manic depressive disorder (bipolar) and schizophrenia in various combinations, even in the same family. We discovered that each symptom - at least in mice - can be transmitted by an independent mechanism. This shows that the behavior and influence of the family can have serious psychiatric consequences in the child.
Relationships are getting more and more difficult nowadays. The changing cultural structure, social media, human behavior, family structure, city life, are driving relationships into a different format, but some research seems to say the opposite.
People who are in a relationship automatically see other attractive people less attractive, according to a new study.
The more satisfied people are with their relationships, the less attractive they are to other attractive people.
Could this unconscious process help couples stay loyal to each other? Seeing attractive people who can threaten the relationship as less attractive helps people to stop their inclination towards others. This mechanism is particularly important since physical appearance is the primary reason people like someone.
Within the scope of the research, the participants were sometimes told that they were single, and sometimes they were told that they had a relationship. When the person in the profile was said to be single, people who were in a relationship rated the attractiveness of the person with the profile less. They did this automatically; So this is a defense mechanism to protect their own relationships. When it is said that the person in the profile has a relationship, this mechanism does not come into play. On the contrary, those who do not have this relationship are not affected by the relationship status of the people in the profile.
It has always been a matter of debate whether a psychiatric disorder is genetically or inherited directly. It is known that the importance of genetics has an important place in the formation of psychiatric disorders. However, today we observe that environmental factors are of great importance and are effective in the emergence of ailments.

Panic and Stockpile Against Diseases
**Often there is something that nobody speaks about and that we do not mention in what we wrote. Panic psychology and reasons for stock attitude. When we look at the research for these attitudes that arise with people panicking, I can see several reasons. I would like to tell you about the psychological ones of these reasons.**
We are worried that something has happened to our health, that something has happened to the health of a loved one, or even infecting someone we do not know with this virus. So why do we panic? What are the psychological reasons underlying our panic? What does research say about this?
Some studies show that the thought mistakes we make make us more panicked. We tend to make thought mistakes in stressful situations. Thought errors are a subject we work a lot in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. When people encounter a negative situation in their daily life as well as in matters related to the agenda, they tend to make many thought mistakes such as catastrophizing, generalizing, and so on.
When a plane crash occurs, they avoid getting on the plane, when there is news of a shark attack, they think all sharks are aggressive. For example, when we look at this situation, it is possible that the effects of the Spanish Flu, which has affected many people, are generalized and panicked with the virus that is today. For another example, people may be inclined to think that when a loss of life occurs, they will identify with themselves and die. This naturally causes them to panic.
One of the cognitive explanations for this panic attitude is as follows. We all have the knowledge that we will die one day somewhere inside. The mind is seeking an answer to this fact and trying to control this situation. When he encounters a situation he cannot control, he panics. After the panic chain is formed, people hold on to the smallest possibility they can rely on.
Another cause for panic is uncertainty. Uncertainty on the agenda drives people to fear. The American president's failure to take the Corona virus seriously at first, and then the opposite attitude to dominate the situation caused American citizens to panic and not see their way forward. This is the case in America. The term in Turkey, whether entered into the corona did in Turkey, have been performed tests being done, then you will not he come to the curfew, people trying to get into panic guarantee whether this uncertainty. When we look at it cognitively, our brains tend to develop anxiety and protect itself against unknown situations and unpredictable events. For this reason, we panic when we cannot see the way forward.
***There are many reasons for the attitude of stocking that are shaped by panic. So what are these reasons, why do we have the urge to stock up? Is it good or bad with this, is it necessary to stock up? Let's see what the researches say on this subject.***
As we mentioned above, uncertainty on the agenda drives people to fear. There is uncertainty about the subject all over the world. The uncertainty that people are exposed to while the solution is not found yet, the increase in cases, lack of information, and the inability to predict what will happen puts us in a state of panic. This creates an impulse for people to control the situation and consequently they acquire food, cleanliness, and even means of defense.
Foreign sources call it this. To be clear, when people are under stress, their ability to reason is curtailed. When the ability to reason at the cognitive level is restricted, people begin to copy what they see and take them as a guide. While individuals cannot predict what they should do in this uncertainty with their desire to take control, they constantly see photos of empty shelves on social media, etc.
When we think we do not know about something, we display the behavior of copying. In the past, we could see this behavior in our ancestors, we carry their instincts. When you saw a snake in the forest, when those next to you moved away from that snake, you automatically copied the same movement and thus survived. Now, this instinct can actually make us act irrationally on this agenda sometimes.
We see that we have an evolutionary instinct of disgust. This state of disgust protected us from threats and allowed us to survive in the past. Nowadays, the corona virus, the infection reveals our feeling of disgust and allows us to get the tools to relieve this situation more than they should. Naturally, these are tools to remove "disgusting things" such as disinfectants, cologne, toilet paper and so on.
Telling Children about the Coronavirus
Hi guys. There have been many developments in our lives that we are not all used to. We closed our homes due to the coronavirus, we took a break from socializing, and we continue our education from our homes. We all have worries, and maybe some worries, from seven to seventy. As adults somehow we can learn reliable information, but unfortunately the same is not true for children.
They, like us, have some concerns and questions they are curious about. Moreover, they are more likely to be exposed to false information and not accessing correct information. That is why we must be the adults who will give them the right information. But of course there are a few things we need to be aware of when discussing this issue with them.
The children have already noticed what is happening around them. There are people around wearing masks, school patterns have changed, they know they have to stay home. He is already witness to this issue. The best resource they have is you. Inaccurate information about the Corona virus from outside can mislead them, increase their anxiety, and cause anxiety disorders. However, talking to you about this issue will reassure them and make them feel safe.
**Do Not Forget The Children's Ages**
Talking to them, you have to be honest, but remember their age. Do not hesitate to share the correct information about the Corona virus with them, but adapt the topics you will talk to the way they will understand. For example, "How do we heal when we are sick?" Instead of telling the question about a long and detailed treatment program, we can talk about the doctors healing us in brief details. At the same time, younger children can learn this subject through various animations and videos.
**Let Them Ask Questions**
Children tend to ask a lot of questions as they have just discovered the world due to their age. Especially if they have a subject they have never witnessed before such as Coronavirus. It should not be forgotten that it is natural for them to have some questions and concerns, too. Allow them to ask questions and answer them diligently to help them manage these concerns.
**Manage Your Own Concerns**
The uncertainty we are in can make us all worry. Before talking to your children about Covid-19, first identify those close to whom you can talk about your concerns. Do not talk about these concerns to your child, but to an adult who can understand you. At the same time, do activities such as music and meditation that will relax you. Talking to your children after you feel relaxed will make you ready to talk and prevent your child from feeling the same concerns.
**Guide the Children**
Do not forget that you are the people they model. Tell children how to protect themselves from Covid-19 and apply them yourself. He can learn topics such as washing his hands for 20 seconds and taking care of hygiene by copying from you. I'm also going to tell you about a nice app I've seen on the internet recently to teach this to younger children. Put some water in a deep bowl and sprinkle with black pepper.
The black pepper here represents the virus for us. When you tell the kids to just dip them in water without soaping their hands first, the peppercorns won't go anywhere and will stick to their hands. However, when they soap their hands and dip them in water, they will suddenly run away. They can learn how to protect themselves from the virus with this fun activity.
Mindfulness and Its Impact on Depression
**Depression and depressive episodes can be situations that we all experience from time to time.** While dealing with the situations we live in in daily life, we can have such periods when we get tired of the hustle and bustle of daily life. Mindfulness, also known as Conscious Awareness, has been proven to have a positive effect on depression and recurrence of depression. In this blog, I talked about the symptoms of depression and the effects of mindfulness, a positive supporter, on depression.
**The Relationship Between Mindfulness and Depression**
There is a lot of research on the relationship between mindfulness and depression. When we look at the researches, it is possible to say that there is a meaningful relationship between conscious awareness and depression. Mindfulness has positive effects on the recurrence of stress, depression and depression.
We can say that mindfulness is bringing our awareness to the moment we live, without judgment, objectively and graciously. To recognize and accept without judgment what we experience in daily life, our body, sensations, our breath, in fact all our experiences. While running around in our daily lives, trying to train what we need to do, we are moving away from awareness and live in autopilot.
In fact, we cannot realize what we are going through because we live on autopilot and we miss it. When we bring our attention to them, we can notice our reactions to what we experience. We capture the coming and passing of thoughts, what is happening in the moment. In this way, it is possible not to judge our experiences and approach them with less stress. Thanks to the attitudes that mindfulness re-teaches the person, the person can gain a new perspective on their experiences. These attitudes can be listed as follows: Not Judging, Patience, Starting Mind, Trust, Not Trying, Accepting, Quitting.
**The Effect of Mindfulness on Depression**
Mindfulness increases the ability to cope with stress and supports psychological well-being thanks to the different perspective it brings to the experiences of daily life. Mindful attitudes, experiences of staying in the moment and experiencing various meditation practices increase the ability to cope with negative emotional situations.
When we look at new researches, we often encounter these results. For example, a research was conducted with 122 participants in a new article published in 2020 by Schuling, R. et al. Depressive symptoms of these participants were measured and some of them were included in a group where Midfulness studies will be conducted. It was found that the depressive symptoms of the participants in the mindfulness study group significantly improved during the 6 months of the study.
When similar studies on the subject are examined, we can see that when conscious awareness increases, the perceived stress level decreases. In other words, we can say that the increase in the ability to cope with stress in individuals is possible by changing the meanings they attribute to stress factors and their perspectives on them.
This means that thanks to conscious awareness, we learn the attitude of not judging, and we stay away from judging unpleasant situations. We do not grapple with those situations, we accept them as they are, and we only exist in the moment. When we perceive it with a non-judgmental perspective, the level at which those stress factors affect us decreases. At this point, it is possible to say that Mindfulness is a supportive factor in preventing the recurrence of depression, as the levels of stress factors affecting us have decreased. In other words, we can say that conscious awareness has both a preventive and healing aspect.
The Impact of Success on Human Psychology
Being successful is what we all want, desire and aim for most of the time. We all search for what we need to do to be successful from time to time and look for new methods. However, the road to success can change for everyone. Each route and method may differ for individuals and may have a different effect on each individual. Considering personal differences, I have mentioned some features and techniques that will help us on the way to success in this article.
**What is Being Successful? Why Is It Important To Be Successful?**
Nobody aims to fail, success is a general goal desired by everyone. In turn, the definition of success can be quite variable. While some do not appreciate success unless it is a tangible reward, someone else may appreciate themselves every step of the way, counting every step they take towards that goal as a success. This is a situation related to our expectations and perceptions.
While getting 80 from an exam evaluated out of 100 sometimes does not make you feel successful, getting a single and highest score of 80 from an exam evaluated out of 100 can be considered a successful result. So when others got 90, 100, were you unsuccessful when you got 80 and / or did getting higher than others made you successful? We often define success as a result of our comparisons with others, our thoughts on autopilot can actually affect us quite negatively. In general, making comparisons is not a healthy attitude, so when defining success, not making comparisons and interpreting this situation on the result when we present the best version of ourselves is the healthiest attitude we should adopt.
Often people associate being successful with having a lot of money. If you are currently walking by a beach, see a house for sale and get information about the price, will you feel more successful when you think you have the power to buy this house? Success is the meaning we attach to our business and we try to make sense of our work mostly with money. This is not entirely wrong as we make money in return, but it is not just having money that is required to be successful. So I'll leave you with this little awareness: success matters, and success is not the skill of buying a beachfront home.
Success has tremendous effects on human psychology. These effects inevitably affect human well-being. Being successful has powerful effects on the brain; It increases testosterone hormone levels in both men and women and increases the activity of dopamine secreted by the brain. The dopamine hormone plays a powerful role in managing emotional reactions, and this is necessary to maintain and maintain both psychological and physical well-being.
The brain has a common "****reward network****"; Depending on the dopamine level, it forms the basis for all those great emotions we have when we enjoy delicious food, win bets, get a salary increase, or become successful. When success stimulates the brain's reward network by activating it, the brain positively records the cause of this event to release dopamine. When the brain reduces dopamine secretion to levels in daily life, it wants to experience the same thing again, so your brain wants you to be successful. And if you just start to perceive big achievements as success and therefore ignore the small steps you take, it's normal to feel like you're going through a big drop at this point.
The brain enters a period of deprivation, and that's why, just as an addict cannot enjoy daily pleasures, you may be missing your achievements by thinking that you are not successful. Being successful and being aware of your success are two separate things. In order to make this distinction, you can bring awareness to what you have and develop a sense of gratitude. At the same time, focusing on the moment during meditation allows you to see the achievements you have had.
To be successful, focus on what you do and what you want to do and especially what you don't want to do. Most importantly, focus on the present. If there was a chart and the place where you want to be on the right side of this chart, and on the left you don't want to be, which one would you position yourself closer to now?
To be successful, keep in touch with those around you. If you have someone around you who you have taken as an example for yourself or who has been successful in a similar goal before, learn about the process he went through. Be careful not to compete here! Your only opponent is yourself. Remember that everyone's path to success will differ and try not to make comparisons.
Our emotions are the most powerful compasses that enable us to interpret that moment, giving us a lot of clues about that moment. Be aware of your feelings and don't forget to get help from them. If there is something challenging during this process, focus on what you can do to feel good instead of continuing despite that feeling. Listen to your needs. Meditation, going for a short walk, or sharing with those around you are all instant methods. If you complain that this is a more permanent and general condition, you may consider seeking the help of a psychologist.
Listen to yourself and those around you, your family, friends, and teachers. Sometimes, feeling that you know the content of some conversations can prevent you from focusing on that content, but remember and listen to conversations that you don't focus on are valuable information you may encounter between sentences. Listening to yourself is one of the most useful habits in this process. The thoughts you set out on a journey and the thoughts during the journey may differ. New thoughts that arise during the journey may offer you the opportunity to catch short cuts or different opportunities, always listen to yourself.
The Orange Metaphor and the Essential Lesson to Learn
The orange metaphor states that the worst and best emotions and moments, such as anger, fear, or love, usually reveal what's inside you. What do you think will happen if you get bored hard by life, as if you were an orange that someone tried to extract its juice from.
Let's say someone annoys you, teases you, and, figuratively speaking, tries to get your water out or your fruit pulp. If they succeed, what will come out of you? Is it anger, joy or rage? Proposed by the psychologist, teacher, and author Wayne Dyer, the orange metaphor is a great tool to understand why it is so important to know why these things are done.
Wayne Dyer was recognized and gained worldwide success after his book Your Erroneous Zones was published. The orange metaphor first appeared at one of the author's conferences in Toronto, Canada. An interesting point about this metaphor is that he mentioned it just one day before his death.
His speech surprised everyone who was there. Wayne used the orange as a support for a metaphor to use in this speech. Then, he started a dialogue with a brilliant 12-year-old boy sitting in the front row.
**“How people treat you is their karma; How you react is yours. "**
**- Wayne W. Dyer**
Orange metaphor dialogue
*Wayne said to the boy, "If I squeeze this orange as best as I can, what will come out?" said.*
*The boy looked at Dyer a little crazy and said, "Of course, juice."*
*"Do you think apple juice can come out?"*
*"No!" he said and laughed.*
*"Well, can it be grapefruit juice?"*
*"No!"*
*"So what comes out of this?"*
*"Of course orange juice."*
*"Why is that? Why does orange juice come out when you squeeze an orange? "*
*"This is an orange and this is inside."*
*What comes out when life bothering you?*
Dyer shook his head and said, “What if this orange is not an orange, but you are. Someone starts to squeeze you, pressure you, say things you don't like, and bother you. Therefore, anger, hatred, pain and fear emerge from you. Why is that? The answer is, as our young friend said, that's what's inside. "
This is one of the biggest lessons in life. If anger, pain, and fear come from you in response when someone disturbs you, it's because of what's inside you. It doesn't matter who does this squeezing behavior - be it your mother, your brother, your children, your boss, or the government, anyone. If someone says something about you that you don't like, what comes out of you is entirely within you. And what's inside of you is up to you, which will be entirely your own choice. ”
“When someone puts pressure on you and something other than a love-like feeling comes out of you, it's because you allowed this other thing to be inside. When you remove all the unwanted negative aspects in your life and replace them with love, you will find yourself living a highly functional life. "
"Thanks, young friend, and here is an orange for you!"
**The orange metaphor is a concept related to endurance**
Let's continue with another lesson on the orange metaphor. Surely you have heard the phrase "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade". Have you ever stopped at any point to think what it really means? This statement is far from being about conformism and one of the simplest ways to define resilience.
This term, which is used as resistance, and even as resistance in our language, comes from the Latin words resilio and resilire, meaning "to return". When this definition is applied to psychology, it refers to the human ability to overcome difficulties. So resilient people manage to make lemonade (cope best) from the lemons (losses and disappointments) they've had in their lives.
Some people believe that resistance is something innate for a person, a genetic trait. However, subsequent research has revealed that one can adopt and develop this ability.
For example, by assuming that change is part of life, you can build your resilience by trusting yourself, building interpersonal relationships, focusing on the positive, taking challenges as opportunities, and being flexible and realistic in your goals.
**Improve yourself**
As a result, it is important to improve your inner world. If you fill your garden with unfertile soil, you will only encounter weeds. But if you use fertile soil and water it often, you will plant the seeds of your best life with your own hands.
Filling yourself with toxic thoughts or emotions will not do you any good. In the end, you will be the only person you influence. You are the only person who will bear the consequences of inflating negative emotions within you.

Bitcoin Cash price prediction: BCH price forecast for 2020-2025
One of the main 10 most loved cryptographic forms of money is Bitcoin Cash. BCH is a Bitcoin fork digital currency. It is a crypto that has consistently kept financial specialists' advantage on it since its development. So what about the cost of Bitcoin Cash? Without going excessively far into the past, it will give us a thought of what the BCH cost has done in the previous year.
On the off chance that you are thinking about what amount is the current Bitcoin Cash (BCH) value, the accompanying moment Coin Market Cap information will give you a thought.
Bitcoin Cash was created under the authority of Roger Ver as Bitcoin's hard fork. It was conceived as an option to bitcoin scaling issue, which got the most analysis. Exchange speed and exchange costs are more reasonable, just as the exercises of the network behind it, making BCH more effective than other BTC forks. As you most likely are aware, the Bitcoin exchange expense is near $ 1.31, and the exchange charges for Bitcoin Cash are near $ 0.125. This is a number that ought to be paid attention to.
A news was accounted for in the press in July 2019. AT&T telecom organization, one of the Fortune 500 organizations, reported that it will acknowledge BCH as an installment instrument through Bitpay. This arrangement will positively affect the Bitcoin Cash value forecast over the long haul.
To make a Bitcoin Cash value forecast, we should take a gander at BCH's past presentation. After BCH entered the market with $ 250 of every 2017, it saw $ 651 the exact day. In the primary week, he saw $ 900. Before the finish of 2018, it had gotten perhaps the most beneficial digital currencies.
Bitcoin Cash, which made proper acquaintance with 2019 with $ 150, dropped to beneath $ 110 all at once during the year. On June 26, 2019, it broke the record for the year, coming to over $ 500. After the grisly remedy in September 2019, BCH tumbled from above $ 300 to $ 220. In December 2019, we saw that the BCH cost was around finished $ 200. He shut the year at this level.
We can say that he made a decent beginning to 2020. Under the authority of its older sibling Bitcoin, the crypto markets were encountering a time of excitement, while Bitcoin Cash likewise began an upward pattern. It can even qualify as outstanding amongst other performing resources.

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a good investment tool in 2021
It hadn't caught much of my attention until I came to this platform. Probably no digital currency has created more contention in the crypto network than the creation of Bitcoin Cash. Just one day after it was shipped, BCH's market cap exceeded billions of dollars, making it the seventh largest cryptocurrency on the planet in terms of market capitalization. Some digital currency enthusiasts even demanded that this coin replace Bitcoin in the long run. If you are keen on this coin, you should probably consider how to transfer resources to Bitcoin Cash, regardless of whether it is wise to put resources in Bitcoin Cash and whether you need to put resources in Bitcoin or Bitcoin Cash. ". At that point you got to the perfect spot!
Bitcoin Cash is a fork of Bitcoin, and in the long run it has set itself up on the alert and has become a serious digital currency. It is currently the fifth largest digital currency by market cap. The main explanation behind the rise of this digital currency is the scaling issue Bitcoin's growing reputation faces.
The frame size of the Bitcoin blockchain is limited to 1 MB. Although relatively few exchanges have been included, this hurdle did not pose a very notable problem. However, in 2017, the stock market volume increased significantly. Subsequently, the rate of exchange fell and foreign exchange expenses rose. The various methodologies proposed to solve this problem divided engineers into two camps. Accordingly, Bitcoin Cash appeared following the emergence of a hard fork in the Bitcoin network on August 1, 2017. The Bitcoin Cash block size was 8 MB and then increased to 32 MB in May 2018, which basically increased the amount of exchanges available to do. will be done in a second.
**Is it worth putting resources into Bitcoin Cash?**
First: Can you transfer resources to Bitcoin Cash? Frankly! Is it recommended to put resources in Bitcoin Cash? In fact, this is a much more unpredictable investigation. We must try to answer that now.
It is difficult to give a definitive idea about Bitcoin Cash, given that there are so many irregular elements. Despite various backlash, Bitcoin Cash continues to evolve and its engineers have sizable plans. Currently, it is the most famous and generally adopted of all Bitcoin forks. Therefore, if you have the chance to accept that cryptographic currency forms are coming, it will deserve to put the resources in Bitcoin Cash.
**Putting resources into Bitcoin Cash**
Before you start fundraising any resource, including digital currency formats, you should decide on a system of speculation. There are various procedures for putting resources into cryptographic currency formats. The decision you make is based on a number of components, such as the market situation and individual trends. However, most of these involve creating an arrangement of Bitcoin and Ethereum. Additionally, the techniques are divided into:
Making instant attempts. This is to buy and highlight cryptographic currency formats at multiple time intervals. The expected return on this is high, but it requires additional time and wise speculation skills before it can deliver a benefit.
Making long-term speculation. This is to buy and store cryptographic currency formats for important time periods. This technique is often less productive than before, but requires less time and expertise.
**Is BCH a protected speculation?**
Basically, there is no speculation device that benefits at high speed and is fully protected, and digital currencies are certainly not an exception to this standard. However, there are three factors that directly affect the robustness of any cryptocurrency and therefore are very protected to fund it.
A progress group working effectively on the initiative.
A huge network of allies and enthusiasts.
High uptake rate; that is, the capacity to use this cryptocurrency to pay for different items and administrations, and the simplicity of buying and selling.
Each of these three tokens can be accepted for Bitcoin Cash. Accordingly, it is said that putting resources into Bitcoin Cash is much safer than putting resources into numerous other forms of digital currencies.
**Bitcoin Cash joint assets**
Bitcoin Cash co-assets are accessible to people who need to fund Bitcoin Cash but do not have the opportunity or want to buy and sell this digital currency. These work like ordinary assets, in addition to putting resources into Bitcoin Cash as a stand-alone resource.
While these assets are a decent answer for certain financial specialists, we for the most part don't suggest them. These administrations are not free and in this manner lessen your likely benefit. What's more, you don't generally possess Bitcoin Cash, yet just a portion of the asset.
Bitcoin Cash Price Analysis - Key Support and Resistances!
Bitcoin Cash is the fork of the fork by itself for most of 2020. With the start of a new year, BCH seems to be doing the same. It continues its perennial trend and plays it safely. This article was written to take a look at Bitcoin Cash in both the short and long term time frames to determine if things are changing or not.
On the 1-hour chart, BCH respects round bottom support as it tested more than three times last month. Moreover, with the pressure to buy, it pushed the price from $ 100 to $ 260 in 4 days. Right now, the price is close to the local peak and is looking to take a hit on prices, especially in the last two weeks of December, after two unsuccessful attempts.
Things seem to be both in a bull run and not while Bitcoin is rising, some altcoins are performing well while others are struggling. A common theme in most altcoins is that their value in terms of BTC decreases more rapidly with every step bitcoin takes.
Perhaps the most BCH can do right now is to try to overcome the $ 10 hurdle of the local summit ranging from $ 373 to $ 383. So, there seems to be an uptrend in a short term time frame.
The one-day chart shows a clear picture of the multi-year round bottom model that has been standing since mid-2019. As mentioned, a good time to enter a long trade would be in the range of $ 309 to $ 328. This assumes that there will be an soon withdrawal from BCH and will reduce the price from 9% to 14%. This makes sense considering the above-mentioned local peak which prevents the price from falling three times in the daily time frame.
As a result;
In the extreme bearish scenario, we can expect BCH to retest the rounded bottom and then move forward by breaking the local peak. At a lower level, BCH looks good for scalps, but at a higher time frame, care needs to be taken as to where BCH might go. Chances of returning to the above range or a break at the local peak are equal.
My Polkadot, NEM, VeChain Price Analysis
**Polkadot[DOT]**
Although **Polkadot** had a shaky start to the moon, prices have risen in the past three days with market leader Bitcoin. Overall, the crypto asset has been in an upward trend since the beginning of November, reaching higher lows. DOT is currently leading the chart with the highest earnings in the past seven days, up about **70%** during this period. The big question is - will we see a fix soon? The indicators on the DOT show otherwise, which implies that prices may continue to scale past milestones in the near future.
The Relative Strength Index marks an upward trend as prices have been trading in the overbought territory for some time. Usually, after trading in this zone, prices will move downward, but in this case they may stay in that zone for the next few sessions as buying pressure increases. If a reversal occurs and the index falls, prices could test the support at $ 7.65.
**The Awesome Oscillator** underlined the rise as the green bars rose in length above the Zero line.
**VeChain [VET]**
Like **Polkadot, VeChain** has been in an upward trend since the beginning of November. However, the price appears to have declined since meeting resistance of $ 0.02. At the time of writing, VET was trading at $ 0.018, down over **3%** in the past 24 hours. Some indicators show that the selling pressure may continue to lower prices in the short term.
The MACD showed a downward trend as the bears demonstrated their dominance in the market, as a sign that prices may drop in the coming period. If VET falls, support prices of $ 0.0138 may provide some relief.
**Chaikin Money Flow** suggested that capital outflows were one of the factors responsible for the price decline, as the index moves down with prices.
**NEM [XEM]**
NEM has been under severe sales pressure for the past 24 hours. During this time, prices fell nearly **15%** and NEM became the biggest daily loser among the top 20. After attempting to break the $ 0.236 resistance, prices declined steadily towards the $ 0.169 support. In the near term, prices may continue to decline and challenge support at $ 0.169. A sharper drop could see NEM head towards the $ 0.141 support.
Volume On Balance Sheet showed a lack of interest in the NEM market as volumes dropped during mid-December.
The dotted signs of the parabolic SAR were above the candlesticks, indicating that prices were falling.
Where Defense Industry and Blockchain Technology Cross
Although there are doubts about the potential of **Blockchain technology**, it is possible to say that it is becoming more important and widespread day by day. Nowadays, especially the public has started to establish its relationship with this technology through the Crypto currencies of central banks, and we see intensive applications in the field of financial technologies.
However, blockchain technology is gaining momentum in many areas such as registering ownership of the land, combating digital content piracy, verifying and saving the origin of artworks, registering voters, securely storing files, and digitally authenticating. With this momentum, we see in different reports and briefings that the defense ministries of countries such as the **USA, China** and organizations such as **NATO** have formed working groups and experimented on blockchain technology. Especially with the former **NATO** secretary general being a strategic advisor to a private blockchain company, we can easily say that private companies have also started to work in this field.
Considering that many technologies, especially the internet, were opened to the public after they started to be used in the military field, we can understand the importance of research on the use of blockchain technology for military purposes. In addition, according to some researches carried out with all these, it is predicted that 80% of the major defense industry companies will start working on blockchain technology as of 2021.
If we start to examine on the basis of countries, the USA is positioned as one of the leading countries in the studies carried out on this subject both within NATO and the national army. In section 1646 of the 2018 National Security Doctrine Act published by the US Congress, blockchain technology is referred to as a technology that the military should pay special attention to. It is also among the reports that the US Department of Defense is working on blockchain for supply chain processes and will use blockchain in the management of a supply chain of approximately $ 100 billion.
In addition, data security stands out as one of the areas of use of blockchain in the field of defense. In 2016, reports were reflected that the Department of Advanced Research Projects (**DARPA**) under the Ministry of Defense began to study blockchain technology to protect data on various weapons, including codes for launching nuclear warheads and intercontinental ballistic missiles. In addition, we see that NATO started to work on blockchain in 2018 by declaring the year of innovative technology aiming to accelerate transformative, modern technology solutions to meet NATO C4ISR and cyber requirements.
On the other hand, there are many countries working on the potential use of blockchain technology, especially **Russia** and China. While Russia is working on cryptography and encryption algorithms, we know that China is working on social credit systems and supply chain systems. In addition, it is seen that defense industry units of the countries are working on financial technologies.
In addition, we know that working groups have been established within the EU and that consultancy firms make their strategic reports on the relevant platforms of the EU. Several main application areas stand out here. First of all, in this industry, where supply chain tracking, the supply of very critical parts and high-cost parts are in question, building the supply chain of the sub-units of mission-critical systems on the blockchain stands out among application scenarios.
Other potential areas of application can be listed as follows. Areas such as access and identity management, cyber security, military logistics applications, military data storage and processing technologies, and tracking software stand out.
In summary, we can say that Blockchain technology has attracted a lot of attention in defense industry and military applications, along with other fields, applications have begun to develop, very serious applications and organizations have been working intensively, and academic studies have increased very rapidly since 2018. In the light of these, it is possible to say that studies on this subject will gain momentum in the future, and of course, different application areas will emerge.
