How to be ambitious without actually being ambitious

There's a fine line between being ambitious and actually being ambitious. On one hand, you want to set your sights high and strive for success. On the other hand, you don't want to be so driven that you become obsessive or single-minded. 

There's nothing wrong with being ambitious. In fact, it's often a good thing. However, there are some people who take things too far. They might be so driven that they're always working and never taking time for themselves. Or, they might be so focused on their goals that they're always putting themselves under pressure. This can lead to burnout and resentment.

So how can you be ambitious without actually being ambitious?

Here are a few tips:

-Set realistic goals for yourself. If you're too ambitious, you may set goals that are unattainable, which can lead to disappointment and frustration.

-Don't compare yourself to others. Everyone has their own journey to success. Comparing yourself to others will only make you feel worse.

-Be patient.Success takes time. Don't expect overnight success.

-Enjoy the process. Don't focus on the destination, focus on enjoying the journey.

If you're constantly putting yourself under pressure, it's important to cut yourself some slack from time to time. Give yourself permission to relax and enjoy your life.

How to Avoid Exhaustion and Burnout

Have you ever wondered what went wrong with your plan? Why things haven't turned out the way you wanted them to? These are tough questions to answer, but it's important to reflect on them from time to time. It can help you figure out what you need to change in order to improve your life.

One day, when I woke up late in the morning. It was past 8 A.M and right after I get out of my bed I felt empty. Like my body and soul are just like an emply vessel doesn't know which way to go. But, that day seems to be the very busy day for me, as a student every week we have a lot of pendings academic works. I ask my question why? why I felt so empty and lonely and I can't contained myself why is this happening to me. My plans for today has been set-up last night, I already notes what I should be today, but I ended up looking at the ceiling with an empty thoughts and no motivations.

I keep repeatedly questioning myself, why? what's wrong with me? It's scaring me actually and triggered my anxiety. This I came to think that maybe I have been worked up and wasn't able to rest? I have been sleeping late at night and wake up early. In contemplation I just had an 4-5 hours sleep every day. Lucky if I have slept for 6 hours. So, going back to the dilemma, beeing so worked up and staying up late I just realized that it's slowly killing my drive to do things the other day. I researched about it how to avoid burnt out to happened and tips or tools to keep you on track and energized. 

Here are the following things I learned:

1. When we become stressed or anxious, our bodies release hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. These hormones help us to focus and be alert. In small doses, they can be helpful. But when we're constantly under stress, these hormones can have negative effects. They can make us feel tense, anxious, and moody. They can also make it hard to concentrate and can lead to headaches and other health problems. When we're constantly under stress, our bodies never get a chance to relax and recover. This can lead to burnout.
2. Burnout is a state of physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion. It can be caused by chronic stress, and it can lead to feelings of cynicism, detachment, and finally, complete apathy.
3. There are a few reasons why staying up late can make us exhausted and unmotivated the other day. First, staying up late can disrupt our natural sleep cycle. When we don't get enough sleep, our bodies can't function as well as they should. This can lead to fatigue, which can make it hard to concentrate and make us feel more cranky and irritable. Second, staying up late can lead to dehydration. When we're sleep-deprived, our bodies don't have enough energy to repair and regenerate cells. This can lead to cell damage and inflammation, which can further contribute to fatigue. Third, staying up late can cause us to miss out on important REM sleep. REM sleep is critical for memory and learning, and without it we can feel Foggy-headed and less productive the next day. Finally, staying up late can increase our stress levels. When we're stressed, our bodies release the hormone cortisol, which can make it harder to fall asleep and can further contribute to fatigue.

There are a few things you can do to avoid staying up late and becoming exhausted or burnt out: 

1. Talk to God.
2. Start your day with a set routine and stick to it as much as possible. This will help to set the tone for the rest of the day and keep you on track.
3. Make sure to take regular breaks throughout the day, even if it’s just for a few minutes. Get up and move around, stretch, and give your eyes a break from the screen.
4. Don’t work right up until bedtime. Try to wind down for at least 30 minutes before you turn in for the night. This means no more working, no more checking social media, and no more staring at screens.
5. Create a sleep sanctuary for yourself that is dark, quiet, and cool. This will help signal to your body that it’s time to rest.
6. Establish a regular sleep schedule and stick to it as much as possible, even on weekends. This will help to keep your body’s internal clock on track.

What food should we Eat to avoid this to happened?

• First, try to eat foods that are high in protein and low in sugar. This will help stabilize your blood sugar levels and give you sustained energy throughout the day.
• Second, eat foods that contain nutrients that support your adrenal glands, such as B vitamins and magnesium. These nutrients help to reduce stress and fatigue.
• Finally, make sure to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day.

All of this help me gain motivation to do things that's according to my plan. Discipline is the key, so make yourself discipline and hope you learned something from me.
