Self Leadership and How Yijing Yin and Yang can Help in Self Leadership

Self-leadership is the process of taking responsibility for one's personal growth, development, and well-being. It involves setting personal goals, creating a vision for one's life, and actively managing one's thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to achieve those goals. Self-leadership requires self-awareness, self-motivation, and self-discipline. The Yijing, also known as the Book of Changes, is an ancient Chinese text that is based on the concept of yin and yang. Yin and yang represent complementary, yet opposing, forces that are present in all aspects of life.

Hexagram 20: Guan (Observing)

Today is 20th of April, and let's learn Hexagram 20 Guan 观 Observing: This 6-line hexagram comprises two 3-line trigrams: Xun (Wind) trigram above the Kun (earth) trigram. It means your inner world (Kun) absorbs information while the external world is moving (Xun). This hexagram represents the idea of observing and studying things in order to gain knowledge and understanding. A symbol of introspection and self-reflection.

Find a balance between inner contemplation and engagement with the world, using our insights to make positive changes and contribute to the greater good. Definitely very timely for us as we prepare for our day of work. Happy...

Subset of Users When a video is uploaded to TikTok, the For You algorithm shows it first to a small subset of users. These people may or may not follow the creator already, but TikTok has determined they may be more likely to engage with the video (based on their past behavior). If this initial group responds positively by either liking, sharing, or watching the entire video at a rate higher than what is normal for that account—TikTok then shows it to more people who it thinks share similar interests. That same process then repeats itself, and if this positive feed...
