Exercise + Lower dose Methylphenidate is a game changer (even if I miss proper sleep sometimes)

The way I was able to get into the routine of exercising was by making it a ritual. Basically I track my weight everyday, and I click a picture of my body everyday. This gives me something to look forward to and compare progress. So many habits that wear off soon do so because we start wondering "Am I even making any progress?". Any visual feedback that you can integrate into your life for habits will work.

Even if I don't always get good sleep, consistent exercise, a healthier diet with less snacks, and finally getting my meds back but now with a lower dose (10 mg to 5 mg), I am doing really well at my life and at my job.

I ran out of meds and went to a new psychiatrist this time. The first one had started me directly on generic Ritalin (Inspiral) 10mg. It worked for me, but not as well. I also never took it regularly, skipped when I "felt" like I didn't need it such as weekends especially.

This time around she asked me to take it regularly even on the weekends. And to start all the way from 5mg for 10 days and then move on to 10mg (which I was skeptical about cuz what's 5mg gonna do). Well it turns out, 5mg is working even better than 10mg for me apparently. (Still generic btw, Inspiral)

Well my lifestyle too is healthier now, I exercise and walk more, and I don't snack unhealthily as I used to. So that could have contributed to it, but it might be that lowering the dose helped too. Something to consider.

Also, will I need to submit them physically?

Something akin to the Holy books of all religions in that it has a certain something where you don't even have to make great efforts to understand the book. Even the first mechanised reading is enough to start perceiving positive-kind-of-changes in one's own being.

Something about reading it just inspired "higher kind-of" emotions in oneself such as Biblical Repentance, or Love for God. Or a preference to nourish the Rational part of our tripartite soul in Plato's tripartite model of the Soul.

This has been my personal experience. It feels kinda initiatory and helps in something like the "quickening of the soul"

Well at least this is what I have experienced, am I delusional or have others also found positive benefits in reading the book?

While I am a programmer, a lot of data entry, data mapping and data cleanup tasks seems to fall on me. When I offload it, they make a bigger mess than I make. How do I even continue working when mistakes pop up and I have to take responsibility but at the same time clean them?

When AI first came around I felt like it was making my job easier. Now... It is still making my job easier, maybe even more than before, but there is no joy. I don't feel like I am getting better at anything, I feel like I am only losing skills that will land me interviews.

Currently working from home is a huge priority and with this market, not being able to improve my skills is just scaring me.

What I like about Nietzshce the most is really what I love about Meher Baba the most too. I think it can be encapsulated by a "Yes" to life, as it is. A holy "Yes", a holy "Affirmation" of God's creation. How well Nietzsche honors God's creation being an Atheist even more than Theists do. To face such intense God given suffering to his body, mind and soul and yet to take upon the task of affirming an eternally recurring suffering, and to do his best attempts to say yes to that! Maybe for a Warrior, for a Solider it is easy, but Nietzsche was a lover, a poet, a deeply sensitive soul. To be moved to tears with the pain and yet take upon oneself such a task, not as a desensitised rock but as a most sensitive flower, how can I even begin to describe how holy his endeavour was. 

While Schopenhauer grappled with the difficulties of life, his was a holy negation, which is easy and makes sense, so many mystic traditions, the Hindu, the Christian, the Jewish reject this life as being of any real meaning. But Nietzsche says yes to this very life, there is strength and beauty in this eternal yes, this Holy Affirmation is much harder to practice and something really new and genuine. 

This agrees with what Meher Baba taught, every single thing in this world is God's will. 

When my body is tired and in pain there is no way I can concentrate on the correct form. Each time I have been able to make progress in my workout sessions it always ends up leading to one injury to another, (shoulders and wrists usually) then I have to stop working out for months/years. How does one get around this. Are there ADHD friendly workouts?

I know the lyrics from the song Timro Nai Maya Lagdacha Saili by Jhalakman Gandharv:

आज रे माइले भातई रे खाओ मो जस्तो गाभा को

तिमीले साइली नगरे पानी मो जस्तो जाभा को

What's the local Kumaoni pronunciation for Saheli?

What are some other words for a beloved female?

That man comes from fishes seems to be a darwinian idea but were there ideas like these before Darwin?

Maybe unconsciously humans have always known that life emerged from the ocean and fishes, because the first Avatar of Vishnu was also a Fish, and then a Turtle, and then a Boar and so on...

From Faust part II, Thales tells the Homunculus how he can take form as a man as follows:

>Thales: Yield to your praiseworthy wish,
Start at the beginning, with the fish!
Be ready for the swiftest working!
Be ruled by the eternal norms,
Move through a thousand, thousand forms, [8325]
And you’ll ascend in time to Man.
