  • S2 E11 Top 5 LifeHabits You Should Consistently Do (Part3 of 3)
    In today's episode of the quarantined tipsters, you're going to hear the final installment of TOP 5 Life Habits you must consistently do…
    Previously, we discussed life habits # 1 to 4, which are
    #1 - Sharpen your skills by allocating at least 1 hour each day of practice
    #2 - Get Quality Sleep
    #3 - Go for Cardio Fitness
    #4 - Practice being Stoic
    Where we learnt the 3 foundational virtues in last week's episode…
    Today we will discuss the 4th foundational virtue which is WISDOM
    And the last but not the least, #5 life habit - Love Yourself!
    WISDOM
    WISDOM as the 4th foundational virtue in stoicism captures the ability of a person to have knowledge of things that are good or bad, and knowledge of things that are neither good nor bad.
    It is so easy to say, it is so simple to hear that definition but through and through, it's quite complex.
    Wisdom is competence in the subtlety and complexity of life, society, and relationships that enable a person to live a desirable life.
    Wisdom is not knowledge. It is not intelligence. You can be intelligent but not wise. You can be wise but not intelligent.
    Wisdom includes prudence and discretion. Prudence is regret prevention through initiative and action. Discretion is regret prevention through restraint and self-control.
    Lifehabit  #5 Love Yourself (Actionable Items)
    -- Meditate - Meditating on a regular basis is like food for the mind and soul.
    We all know it by now, but how many of us actually can say we do it enough?
    When you get into a healthy practice of calming your mind you start to feel who you really are on a deep level and how you connect with everything else in the world.
    Remember to treat yourself kindly when your emotions are beating up your brain.
    Whichever faith you are in…. Seek and hold on to the power of prayer and medition.
    -- Regular Self Care
    Self-love is much more than getting a haircut and a mani-pedi, however taking the time to respect and honor your physical body with loving gestures that make you feel good is highly recommended. Confidence and beauty do start within, but sometimes looking good can help you feel better on the inside when you are struggling with self-esteem.
    -- Practice forgivenes…
    Forgiveness is vital to your mental and emotional health. Holding onto resentment towards others only hurts you in the long run. Equally, identify where you beat up on yourself for choices you regret or whatever toxic thoughts you have about your past, and then decide to let them go. Tell yourself you are just another human on a journey of life and love yourself through all your mistakes.
    Remember… running your race feels good and easier if there is no heavy baggage, you enjoy the journey happily and with a smile on your face.

    S2 E11 Top 5 Life Habits You Should Consistently Do (Part 2)


    Lifehabit # 3 - Practice Stoicism


    Stoicism is one of the branches of philosophy primarily concerned with finding the best way to live ones life and in figuring-out how to flourish as human beings. Focusing in understanding the different virtues, and learning how to achieve being a virtuous human being.

    Happiness depends on virtue, not on pleasure, money, fame or any external good. To define

    Virtue, it consists an inner harmony where reason, the faculty which links us with the divine, controls the passions and appetites, and in an outer harmony, for which we submit to providence, and acceptance of the workings of the universe as it is.



    The 4 Foundational Virtues of Stoicism

    1. Justice

    In general the Stoic definition of Justice is something like applying wisdom to relations with other people. Kindness and fairness can be the end results of trying to figure out what is appropriate.

    Justice is the fuel to reason. To execute these, we must practice

    First Kindness -which  doing good to others.

    2nd is Sociability the appropriate social interaction  with others.

    And 3rd.. Companionship - Supporting others and not bringing them down


    2. Temperance

    It describes self-restraint, typically temperance with pleasure and material goods; avoiding excessiveness, doing things at the right amount and the right way.

    This virtue is about soberness, moderation, or continence

    One way of thinking about it is with reference to desire. "Passions" of desire are emotions that lead to binging, or other kinds of desire-related impulses that result in action against one's best judgement.


    3. Courage

    Courage means to face that which life throws at us, willingly and acceptingly: happily overcoming challenges and solving problems and getting active in our duties and priorities. It may help to understand that Courage doesn't suggest not feeling fear, but acting despite anxiety.


    4. Wisdom

    To be discussed next week!

    Top 5 Life Habits You Have To Consistently Do.


    Tip #1 Sharpen Your Skill of Choice by Allocating 1 Hour Each Day  practicing it.

    An atomic habit is a regular practice or routine that is not only small and easy to do, but is also the source of incredible power; a component of the system of change, for compound growth.

    How do we overcome bad habits? First, let's agree to the fact that

    Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don’t want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change.

    Tip # 2 is the Life Habit of getting quality sleep.

    Quality sleep is foundational in holistic health. It is when you reset all your body essential and non-essential functions including your brain & hormones... Everything waterfalls from sleep. In good or in bad. And many things impact your sleep too, from stress, lack of exercise to unhealthy or non optimal nutrition. It is not easy for many people to have a proper healthy sleeping routine. More than 60% of adults have sleeping issues in the world. For a variety of reasons. Which means they have other issues from bad sleep.

    Tip #3 Exercise - Cardio Fitness

    Cardio fitness is your body's ability to take in, circulate and use oxygen. This process relies on vital parts of the body - your heart, lungs, muscles, as well as the bloog and blood vessels that connect them. This makes your cardio fitness and excellent indicator of your overall fitness.

    The metric for cardio fitness is VO2 Max - it's the maximum amount of oxygen (O2) your body can use during exercise.

  • S2 E10 Why Empathy Is A Must Have Virtue?

    S2 E10 Why Empathy Is A Must Have Virtue?

    researched and lifted from https://psychologytoday.com


    What is empathy?

    Empathy helps us connect and help others, but like other traits, it may have evolved with a selfish motive: using others as a “social antenna” to help detect danger. From an evolutionary perspective, creating a mental model of another person's intent is critical: the arrival of an interloper, for example, could be deadly, so developing sensitivity to the signals of others could be life-saving.


    Empathy in Relationships

    The ability to convey support for a partner, relative, or friend is crucial to establishing positive relationships. Empathy enables us to establish rapport with another person, make them feel that they are being heard, and, through words and body language, mimic their emotions. Perspective-taking, or the empathic ability to assume the cognitive state of another person and see a problem through their eyes, can further cement a connection.


    How does empathy benefit romantic relationships?

    In healthy relationships, people expect their partners to empathize with them when they face hardship or personal struggles, but the ability to empathize with a partner in good times may be at least as important. In one study, displaying empathy for a partner’s positive emotions was five times more beneficial for relationship satisfaction than only empathizing with his or her negative emotions.


    Can narcissists show empathy?

    People high in narcissism, or who have narcissistic personality disorder, can exhibit empathy and even compassion. However, that ability only goes so far, as ultimately their own needs come first. Some researchers believe narcissists can develop greater empathy by developing greater self-compassion, which can increase their own feelings of security and self-worth and enable them to open up to hearing others.



    What distinguishes sympathy from empathy?

    Empathy, sympathy, and compassion are often used interchangeably, but they are not the same. Sympathy is feeling of concern for someone else, and a desire that they become happier or better off, while empathy involves sharing the other person’s emotions. Compassion is an empathic understanding of a person's feelings accompanied by altruism, or a desire to act on that person's behalf.


    Downsides of Empathy

    Empaths are often characterized as being highly sensitive and overly focused on the needs of others. They may benefit from time alone, as they find it draining to be in the presence of other people. People who are very empathic are more likely to be targeted by manipulative individuals. For this reason, it is important to create healthy boundaries in all relationships, and to be cognizant of relationships with "energy vampires," who are draining to empaths and non-empaths alike.

      How To Make Garlic Water?

      Allicin, the chemical compound that gives garlic its superpowers, is released when garlic is crushed or chopped.

      So, it’s best to start there. You then have a few options. You can pour boiling water over the chopped garlic and let it come to room temperature before drinking it; another option is to mix some water and garlic in a blender, then let it sit overnight so the water can absorb all the vitamins and nutrients.

    17. S2 E5 Five Interesting Facts About The Iglesia Ni Cristo (108th Anniversary)

      S2 E5 Five Interesting Facts About The Iglesia Ni Cristo

      Researched from https://iglesianicristo.net/

      Fact # 1 - The Church of Christ is a church for all peoples.

      What does that mean? Researched from the website iglesianicristo.net… The church of Christ is for everyone who will embrace the true faith regardless of race, nationality, cultural background, social standing, economic status, and educational attainment.

      On to Fact # 2 - The Church of Christ is not limited in the Philippines, it has been spread-out across the six inhabited continents of the world.

      The Iglesia Ni Cristo has an international membership of 149 racial and ethnic backgrounds. Whoaw!!! It maintains nearly 7000 congregrations and missions grouped into more than 178ecclessiastical districts in 161 countries and territories in the world.

      Let's goto fact # 3 - The doctine: One God, The Father

      The Church of Christ believes that the one and only true God is the Father, the creator.

      God is a spirit, and therefore, He has no flesh and no bones.

      There is no trinity of persons in God. As quoted from the website, quote "Though the Bible speaks of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spiri - never does it refer to all of them as gods nor as three persons in One God; rather, it points to the Father alone, as the True God.

      In Psalms chapter 90 verse 2, God is from everlasting to everlasting; with no beginning or end. In First Timothy - Chapter 1, verse 17 - God is immortal; and does not tire nor become weary - - (from Isaiah Chapter 40 verse 28)

      Fact # 4 - The last Messenger of God prophesied and realized through the late Brother Felix Manalo who became an instrument in the re-establishment of the Church founded by Jesus Christ in the 1st century re-appearing in the Far East - the Philippines in the era of the ends of the earth.

      The Iglesia Ni Cristo believes that the task of understanding God's words in the Bible , and teaching them without any alteration, without adding or diminishing, is given exclusively to the messengers of God.

      From Romans Chapter 10 Verse 15: And how shall they preach, unless they are sent? As it is written: How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!"

      The Church of Christ believes that the late brother Felix Y Manalo is God's messenger in these last days; he was the fulfillment of the Biblical prophecies concerning the messenger from the Far East (revelations chapter 7 verses 2 to 3; who would preach to God's sons and daughters in these last days -- our time (Isaiah Chapter 43 verses 5 to 6, chapter 46 verse 11 and chapter 41 verses 9 to 11).

      God reveals the meaning of His words to His Messengers by means of the Holy Spirit (2nd Peter chapter 1 verses 20 to 21, and the proof that the messengers were inspired by the Holy Spirit is that their teachings never contradict one another (1st corinthians chapter 2 verse 13).
