Not negativity in a psychological sense, but in a philosophical sense. You don't know what positivity is without negativity. If you only had the power to do things, you would lose the ability to not do things and rest. If you only think, then your thoughts continuously scatter and you lose the ability to reflect and contemplate. If you only slay then you are at risk of burnout and it would eventually become meaningless without the contrast of flop to anchor your slay. Friction, resistance and pain are necessary to indicate the possibilities of growth. Overly focusing on them can create the risk of unnecessary suffering. Practicing bringing awareness and intention to sovereign decision making is how we start to navigate the inevitable oscillation between flop and slay in a way that facilitates Being Hot &amp; Having Fun!!! yayayayaa</p><p></p><p>(ref: The Burnout Society by Byung-Chul Han)</p><p>The Burnout Society by Byung-Chul Han</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://amzn.to/4xxaHy3">https://amzn.to/4xxaHy3</a> (affiliate link)</p><p></p><p>00:00 - 00:54 - intro</p><p>00:54 - 01:34 - in flop there is slay, in slay there is flop</p><p>01:34 - 02:21 - what have you been conditioned to optimize your life for</p><p>02:21 - 03:27 - the hidden cost of maximizing efficiency </p><p>03:27 - 04:49 - be selective &amp; specific about the types of challenges you are open to</p><p>04:49 - 07:01 - flopping is a training opportunity</p><p>07:01 - 08:25 - life happens in cycles</p><p>08:25 - 09:51 - maybe you haven’t flopped enough yet</p><p>09:51 - 12:26 - welcoming challenges as growth opportunities</p><p>12:26 - flop and slay is a spectrum not a binary</p><p>12:57 - social media - monitoring spirit behaviour &amp; cancel culture purity tests</p><p>13:38 - entertainment &amp; education</p><p>14:39 - hate can’t land if you’re a moving target</p><p>15:11 - which flop is your responsibility</p><p>16:54 - increase your surface area for slay</p><p>18:47 - lean into minor inconveniences</p><p>23:18 - using conflict as a training opportunity</p><p>24:25 - adjust your approach according to what’s at stake</p><p>26:12 - controlled and intentional crash outs</p><p>27:29 - knowing what you don’t like is just as important</p><p>29:03 - once you’ve been through the flop you don’t even want to think about it</p><p>29:24 - have a sense of humour </p><p></p><p>follow me on IG ☆ </p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://instagram.com/amberakilla/">https://instagram.com/amberakilla/</a></p><p></p>
