      <title>YAMA: You’re Always Missing Out (And That’s A-Okay)</title>
      <link>https://nesslabs.com/yama?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=yama</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;YAMA is the radical acceptance that missing out is inevitable, so there’s no need to stress about it. Rather than trying to optimize every decision or avoid regret, it reminds us that we’re finite beings in an infinite world.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The post &lt;a href=&#34;https://nesslabs.com/yama&#34;&gt;YAMA: You’re Always Missing Out (And That’s A-Okay)&lt;/a&gt; appeared first on &lt;a href=&#34;https://nesslabs.com&#34;&gt;Ness Labs&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;</description>

      <title>Why learning how to learn is the skill behind all skills</title>
      <link>https://nesslabs.com/learning-how-to-learn?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=learning-how-to-learn</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Traditional education teaches us what to think, not how to think. We memorize facts for tests, then forget them. We follow instructions instead of designing our own learning paths. Nobody teaches us the most important skill of all: learning how to learn. This gap matters because skills become obsolete faster than ever. The technology you ... &lt;a title=&#34;Why learning how to learn is the skill behind all skills&#34; class=&#34;read-more&#34; href=&#34;https://nesslabs.com/learning-how-to-learn&#34; aria-label=&#34;Read more about Why learning how to learn is the skill behind all skills&#34;&gt;Read More&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The post &lt;a href=&#34;https://nesslabs.com/learning-how-to-learn&#34;&gt;Why learning how to learn is the skill behind all skills&lt;/a&gt; appeared first on &lt;a href=&#34;https://nesslabs.com&#34;&gt;Ness Labs&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;When I was a kid, I used to think I was doing much better at tests when using a particular pencil my sister had gifted me. So I would make sure to use this pen for every test. I have a friend who thinks that city people are generally rude.

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Plans fall apart. Flights get canceled. People let us down. And we often react automatically: irritation, anxiety, disappointment. But sometimes, we succeed in stepping back and reinterpret what’s happening, and suddenly it all feels much more manageable. That shift doesn’t mean you’re ignoring reality or pretending things are fine. It means you’re seeing the same ... &lt;a title=&#34;Cognitive Reappraisal: The Art of Seeing Things Differently&#34; class=&#34;read-more&#34; href=&#34;https://nesslabs.com/cognitive-reappraisal&#34; aria-label=&#34;Read more about Cognitive Reappraisal: The Art of Seeing Things Differently&#34;&gt;Read More&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The post &lt;a href=&#34;https://nesslabs.com/cognitive-reappraisal&#34;&gt;Cognitive Reappraisal: The Art of Seeing Things Differently&lt;/a&gt; appeared first on &lt;a href=&#34;https://nesslabs.com&#34;&gt;Ness Labs&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;</description>
