Easy Choices, Hard Life. Hard Choices, Easy Life: How to Grow as a Person Inner Path Seekers | A space for mental health 2024-12-15 | Life is full of moments when we stand at a crossroads, faced with three options:1. Stay Still: Avoid the decision, remain in your comfort zone, and risk stagnation.2. Take the Destructive Route: Fall back on unhealthy habits or coping mechanisms.3. Choose Growth: Take the hard but rewarding path of self-improvement and personal growth.While standing still might feel safe and destructive habits may seem familiar, both ultimately lead to a difficult and unhappy life. Growth, on the other hand, is the harder choice—it means confronting fears, stepping into the unknown, and taking responsibility for the situation we are in. Without a doubt, it is the hard path. However, it will ultimately lead to a much easier, more meaningful, and happier life.In this video/episode, learn more about these paths, as well as an additional tool—the cognitive triangle—and how these two tools can help you choose the path of growth more frequently._____TimestampsThe Three Options 00:00 - 02:00Personal Examples (Suicidal Thoughts and Sudden Cardiac Arrest) 02:00 - 05:00Easy Choices, Hard Life | Hard Choices, Easy Life 05:00 - 07:26The Cognitive Triangle 07:26 - 11:10Final Words 11:10 - 12:05_______📚The IPS Academy📚If you feel that you’ve gained some insights and lessons from this video, and you are curious to see what else we offer at The IPS Project, check out The IPS Academy, where we offer online courses taught by guests on The IPS Podcast.Learn more about essential life topics, such as mental health, relationships, the mind, and the body and the brain, through fun and interactive courses.

I could have shared countless things, but looking back, there were only three that truly had a significant impact on me.And I believe they can have an impact on you as well—not only because they changed my life so deeply, but also because I’ve seen them come up again and again in my psychology training.______Timestamps:Introduction & Personal Struggle with Depression 0:00:00What is Depression?

[Depression Ep 2] Inner Path Seekers | A space for mental health 2025-02-26 | In this deeply personal episode, Elaine shares her journey through four years of struggling with depression, shedding light on the often invisible challenges of preserving one’s mental health. She opens up about the emotional battles she faced, the misconceptions surrounding depression, and the resilience she built through adversity.Living with depression can strip life of its color.

How to Get the Most Out of Life: Use The Time-Bucket Strategy Inner Path Seekers | A space for mental health 2024-10-21 | Imagine going to the beach in winter to sunbathe. Technically, you can, but in most countries, it’s not the ideal season for that. It will be cold, windy, and likely rainy. We often don’t think of life this way, but in many ways, life has seasons—different phases when certain activities or choices make more sense or are more feasible than in other seasons.Seeing life through this lens allows you to get the most out of it by being smart and deliberate, recognizing that there are stages—seasons—that come and go, each with a most optimal time and opportunity for certain activities._____Resources Mentioned:– Die With Zero (In Die With Zero Perkins presents a framework that encourages living a life rich in experiences, using money as a tool to create memories and joy rather than a goal in itself. The core takeaway is that life is finite, and you should intentionally spend your time and money in ways that maximize happiness, fulfillment, and the ability to die with no regrets—and ideally with zero money left unused.)_____📚The IPS Academy📚If you feel that you’ve gained some insights and lessons from this video, and you are curious to see what else we offer at The IPS Project, check out The IPS Academy, where we offer online courses taught by guests on The IPS Podcast.Learn more about essential life topics, such as mental health, relationships, the mind, and the body and the brain, through fun and interactive courses.
