Weekly Highlights #36
The content we consume can consume us, if we are not mindful enough. In this period of information overload and analysis paralysis, The ‘Weekly Highlights’ collects the 3, most valuable pieces of content I have come across during the week, and packages them in a single page, with some notes and key highlights, so to foster mindful and intentional consumption of content, which can truly add value to our life.
Intentional content consumption, in an era in which the amount of content we expose ourselves to can consume us, if we are not mindful enough. 🐘
Obvious to you. Amazing to others.
What you take for granted as knowledge and ability, is not obvious to others. Once we have internalized something, we tend to believe that all the world knows it too. In fact, that is not true. What you know or are expert at is the result of a long process of exposure to and internalization of that knowledge.
Be aware of the spotlight effect.
We are absorbed in ourselves and self conscious about what we do in public. We all believe that there is a constant light on us as we go through life. Separating ourselves from our emotions and roles is key to overcoming the spotlight effect and enjoying life endeavors.
You don't have to be a guru. You can be a guide.
You can merely share your journey to becoming more knowledgeable or aware about whatever you are into. In this manner, you face the imposter syndrome by being wide open to sharing your journey, mistakes, vulnerabilities, lessons. And people can grow and learn together with you.
Jeff Nippard and foremost experts in the field of exercise and nutrition science break down the key concepts and mechanisms behind fat loss and building muscle. Among the crucial points shared: the pivotal role of calorie deficit in losing body fat; the relevance of resistance training in building muscle and fostering weight loss; how our way of viewing food and nutrition is largely based on our psychology. And we can adapt our surrounding environment to maximize our chance of success, in the journey to fat loss.
Quote of the week
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again … who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.”
