Sipping Wisdom: Philosophy on Coffee Mugs
Ann's Diary
07/26/23 • 7 min
This morning, I was brewing my coffee with my trusty IKEA mug, and like some caffeinated wizard, I turned into a full-blown philosopher. Suddenly, every sip felt like sipping on the elixir of wisdom, and my brain was ready to solve the mysteries of the universe – all thanks to that magical mug! ☕️🧙♂️

Transcript: Hey, it's Charlotte. Welcome to Revelation! Today we're talking about making friends from a different generation. This can be a great way to learn new things, and you'll get to hear the wisdom of people who have seen the world in different ways than you have.
I'm going to start by sharing a story about my friend Katie, who's nearly 15 years younger than me. We met at work, where she was my assistant for about a year before we even started hanging out outside of work hours. I was surprised at how much fun we had together—and how much we had in common! She has taught me so much about social media and pop culture, and she's been an invaluable resource when it comes to keeping up with trends like Pokémon Go and TikTok filters (which she uses ALL THE TIME).
Let's say you want to make friends with someone who's older than you. If they're old enough to be your parent, that might be easier. But if they're younger than your parents (or even just not as old as your parents), it can still be done!
First off, think about what interests you have in common. Maybe you both like going hiking or skiing. Maybe you both like music that came out when they were young—like The Beatles! Or maybe you both love reading books about India because it's where one of your grandparents grew up and has passed away now. What are some things that would make for a good conversation starter?
If there are things that don't interest either party—like sports or politics—it might be best not to bring those up immediately unless it seems natural for some reason during conversation. But if there are things that do interest both parties—like music or art or even food—then those are great topics for conversation!
We all know that we should be friends with people who have more experience than us, but how do you actually do it? Well, first off: be kind! When making friends with someone older than you, don't be afraid of asking questions or admitting what you don't know—it's a great way to learn something new. And if they offer advice, take it! They've probably been through more than you have and might have some really valuable insights into how they made it through life.

Gratitude journaling: Rather than ignoring the struggles in our lives, it helps to train the mind to focus on the good in life. And the way this is typically done is by being specific about what you’re grateful for, and why you're grateful for it.

We tend to have a fixed idea of who we are, and who we aren't. Quite often, that defines how we live. In living with a fixed sense of identity, we might be shortchanging ourselves. But if we can nurture those defining characteristics by keeping an open mind and a growth mindset, our possibilities are limitless. Find us at www.revel.sg @revelgrams

First, let us agree that it is essential to be familiar with the happenings around us. Still, not every individual can put up with an overdose of information in an equally graceful manner. To put it simply, while it is vital to stay updated on the necessary precautions we need to undertake during this pandemic, checking up on the death toll and active cases every 3 hours is TMI. Those statistics are meant to be scrutinized by higher authorities to impose and lift restrictions accordingly. So sit back, wear a mask and stay safe.

If you’re thinking, strategizing while you are journaling on how to solve a problem, that’s just more thinking, and no observing. Agreed? Learn more at www.revel.sg @revelgrams

Journals for wellbeing aren't for remembering the past, but for creating the future. Research students might agree that if you study a subject and don't keep a journal, you are allowing the neural connections to slowly get stale. Whether it's a planner or a journal, research has shown us that keeping a record of our thoughts and feelings is ultimately good for wellbeing. Why not try one out and see what works for you? https://heyrevel.com/collections/journals
