As always, this was a great read! I really look forward to your articles. As someone who struggles with procrastination and emotional regulation, I found this very helpful. One quote that really stood out to me, especially as someone who finally managed to deactivate her Instagram (something I never thought I would do), was:
"I recently learned that scrolling lights up the same part of the brain that pulling a slot machine does. The anticipation of what’s next keeps you excited. TL;DR, we are addicts — but are gambling with our lives. And until we get a grip of it, we are cooked."
Gambling is haram lol. Stop gambling with your life.
This is actually a tremendous insightful talk because...it is giving me an anchorage that i am atleast not in a bad direction and actually helping me improve my way of approaching things...so im grateful....
Thank you! Such a helpful reminder. I guess sometimes from childhood we pick up the perfection part, over the being-human part, and end up not knowing what human looks like. Eg: You know that you have to get a job done. You allot it a set amount of time. And you end up lost and confused why you have emotions, or why they even slow you down, when the job doesn't end on time.
Failure is a precursor to success, its almost never the other way around.
Literally! And once you accept failure as a milestone for success, it hurts so much less

Everyone faces the feelings! Very normal! And fighting them is hard and crucial. Otherwise the feelings will set the pace and goals
I have a request, could you cover a topic about metacognition (if you're interested)
A fascinating topic! Let me mull on it, I like the direction
I resonate with this article in so many ways and in some ways it also opened my eyes.
