New research appears to demonstrate the hypothesis that brainy individuals invest more energy lazing around than their dynamic partners.

Discoveries from a US-based review appear to bolster individuals with a high IQ get exhausted less effortlessly, driving them to invest more energy for thinking.    

Also, dynamic individuals might be more physical as they have to animate their psyches with outer exercises, either to get away from their considerations or in light of the fact that they get exhausted rapidly.

Scientists from the Florida Gulf Coast University gave a great test – going back three decades – to a gathering of understudies.

The ‘requirement for insight’ poll requested that members rate how emphatically they concur with proclamations, for example, “I truly appreciate an undertaking that includes coming up with new answers for issues”, and “I just think as hard as I need to”.

The scientists, led by Todd McElroy, then chose 30 “thinkers” and 30 ‘non-thinkers’ from the pool of candidates who undergo the research.

Throughout the following seven days both gatherings wore a gadget on their wrist which followed their developments and action levels, giving a steady stream of information on how physically dynamic they were.

The result from the research showed that the thinking group was far less dynamic during that week than the non-thinkers group.

The discoveries of the review, distributed in the Journal of Health Psychology, were portrayed as “highly significant” and “robust” in factual terms.

In any case, the ends of the week demonstrated no contrast between the two gatherings, something which has not possessed the capacity to be clarified.

Analysts recommended the discoveries could loan weight to the possibility that non-thinkers get exhausted all the more effortlessly, so need to fill their time with physical movement.

In any case, the drawback to being brainier – and lazier – cautioned Mr McElroy, was the negative effect of an inactive way of life.

He proposed that the less dynamic individuals, regardless of how cunning they are, ought to plan to raise their general action levels to enhance their wellbeing.

The British Psychological Society cited the review, saying: “Ultimately, an important factor that may help more thoughtful individuals combat their lower average activity levels is awareness.”

Familiarity with their inclination to be less dynamic, combined with a consciousness of the cost related with inertia, more astute individuals may then turn out to be more dynamic for the duration of the day.

The review also included that in spite of highlighting a strange pattern, summing up the discoveries ought to be finished with alert because of the little example of members

There are all sorts of people in the world; in a lifetime, you’ll get a chance to interact with a myriad of personalities, outgoing, pleasant, disturbing and so on and so forth. Some say that being an outgoing person that expresses one’s feeling is the best thing there is. True? Who knows?

I am quite the opposite. I find it hard to interact with people I don’t know; it takes a lot out of me to befriend someone new. But that’s not all. I also belong to the category of people who don’t express their feelings. You know, the ones that are prone to emotional repression.

To be quite honest, it has done its damage over the years, but there is nothing I can do. It’s just the way I am. If something is bothering me, I’m not the kind of person that will outright say what it is that troubles me.

It’s not something my parents taught me or something I acquired along the way; I was born that way. Even as a child, I remember people, relatives and friends, commenting on my “reserved” personality.

Are you the same type? Do you tend to repress your feelings until they burst out like an erupting volcano?

Here’s how we unconsciously deal with our unexpressed feelings: 

1.Dealing with someone else’s emotions is way easier than dealing with your own. Do you do this? I sure do. I often try to help my friends with their issues and rarely speak of my own.

Probably because I’m afraid to confront my emotions and confronting someone else’s emotions is no “biggie”. I’m usually the “shoulder to cry on” and people often refer to me as “strong” and “brave”. Not true. I have plenty of fears but rarely do I express what’s on my mind.

2. Ditching friends and disappearing for a while. Whenever someone doesn’t act or react the way I expect them to, I find that I am disappointed in that particular person and I always take some time off. Meaning, I don’t call, I don’t ask them out…

I basically disappear from their lives until the uneasiness settles. It usually does and those who know me, don’t take it to heart. I’ve had the same friends for decades and they do admit that it bothers them, but they know that I’m an introvert and that something provoked that reaction on my part, so there’s never any hard feelings. Still, not a good way to deal with a situation.

3. The best way to avoid facing your feelings and fears: keep busy! I’m basically a workaholic. I love working, love chores, love tidiness. If I’m busy, I don’t have time to think or to deal with my emotions.

4. Irrational anxieties pop up all over the place. Repressed emotions will surface one way or the other. You can’t hide from them, you can’t erase them, so developing a number of irrational fears and anxieties is the side-effect. I’m scared of all sorts of things, I think about things a normal person doesn’t – a plane crash, my parents dying of cancer and so on. It never ends.

5. I’m fine. Remember when Ross constantly claimed he was fine with Rachel dating Joey? That’s what happens when you repress your emotions. You keep on saying “I’m fine” even when you’re not.

6. Every cloud has a silver lining – that’s what you cling onto when you try to deal with a negative situation that has prompted negative feelings. You try to put a positive spin on everything and you think it works. It doesn’t. It will come back to bite you in the ass.

7. Being a control freak – trying to control everything, all the time, trying to plan every single future step you take. That’s another thing that keeps you “safe”.

8. Always picking the wrong guy/girl – why? Because that way you feel emotionally protected, you think… scratch that, you know that you won’t get emotionally attached or too intimate. 

9. It’s all just a big joke you – you keep turning every grim situation into a joke, trying to laugh it off and keep the pain at bay. That’s another way of dealing with your emotions.

10.Nothing can touch you, you are rock solid. You always present yourself as a strong person, nothing can touch you, but there is no such thing as a person without emotions, so hard as you might try to portray yourself as strong, people know better than to judge a book by its “rock” solid cover.

Every beginning of a relationship is challenging, but the word challenging gets a whole new meaning for people with anxiety.

I can still remember the struggles I’ve had at the beginning stages of my last relationship with all the thoughts that something must go wrong. The doubt and distrust in the person for no reason were all caused by my anxiety.

How many times have I stayed up at night, tossing and turning in my bed because I’ve been overthinking about every detail in the relationship? I’m sure that almost all of the worries I’ve had have been unnecessary. It’s was all in my head.

Even if everything was fine, I’ve had negative thoughts about them not showing up or canceling a date the last minute. It was the same with every relationship, no matter whether the guy gave me reasons to think about these things or not.

Another thing that messes with my mind at the beginning of a relationship is the previous experiences. Every ending that has destroyed me emotionally still reminds me that it might happen again. That I might fly high and suddenly be forced to fall down to earth.

Usually, I find the guilt in myself, not in the other person. I always think about my imperfections and talk myself into thinking that I’m just not good enough for them. That they would find someone better and leave. And I would be left alone again. Alone with my anxiety.

Many people don’t realize how stressful a beginning of a relationship can be. They don’t get that you’re stressing about every text you get, wondering if you should be the first one to write or keep waiting. It’s stressful to overthink about every sentence you say because you don’t want to say something bad. Even Instagram and Facebook can become a real agony sometimes because you’re asking yourself if that Like maybe meant something more.

My anxiety has made me start believing in lies, but not made up by the other person, but by me, made up in my head. One late reply is enough to make you create whole movies in your head about them cheating or ignoring you on purpose. Overthinking about every action makes you wonder if they are going to leave you because you’re like this. I’ve imagined the ending for so many times just to be prepared for what would follow.

Even if the person is great, it’s hard for me not to expect the worst of them. I feel insecure even if everything is perfect. I doubt everything and everyone out of fear that I might miss something that could be the cause for ending, although it’s just the beginning.

Anxiety makes me perfectionist in life and in every relationship. That’s why I can get really upset if something doesn’t go according to plans.

While I’m trying to fight the anxiety and live with it, at the same time, I’m doing these things that make everything so much harder. And all I want is them to like me. Everything I do is out of fear that they might change their mind and leave me.

Sometimes, I think it’s best to tell them the truth. Explain that “that’s the way I am and they have to learn to accept that”. But next morning I convince myself that this is a foolish idea. That if I would do it, I would just accelerate the process to the end. Who would want to be with a person like me, I say to myself.

So far, I haven’t found a guy who would make me feel sure in myself and whom I would trust completely, even with telling this. Someone who would reassure me that I’m not alone and that I can trust them. Then again, I may have found him, but my anxiety has stopped me from realizing it.

Individuals with anxiety need a partner who will hug them when they feel low and help them overcome the crisis. A person who will be strong when they are weak. They need someone who will see them for who they really are and who would be ready to go through everything for them.

They need someone persistent and brave. They need a person who will show them how beautiful they are in the other’s eyes and make them see themselves the way other see them.

Do you think your life could be better? That you could achieve much more and you don’t get what you deserve? Well, let me break it to you – you’re probably right.

Negative things usually happen to people who have a negative approach towards life – people who think that everyone is against them and that they have “bad luck” and bad things always happen to them.

Here is a reality check: If you think your life sucks, you are the reason for it!

It’s up to you to make the choice – whether you will achieve greatness or you will work the same boring job forever. It’s up to you to stop being lazy and start running after your dreams and accomplish much more.

It’s up to you whether you will see the world and have great adventures or stay at home envying the ones who had the courage to take the control of their life in their hands.

You can win only if you take risks. Want to go to Brazil? Just book the fight and go! No challenge is big enough if you are mentally prepared for it and believe in yourself.

It’s up to you whether you will have the body you have always desired or not. It’s up to you whether you will be healthy and energized and commit to goals. It’s up to you whether you will broaden your knowledge, read and practice your skills.

It’s up to whether you will be happy, not up to the others. Only you can decide about that and choose to be surrounded by positive people who will inspire you and help you achieve wonders.

If you think your relationship is toxic, try looking at the things you can improve instead of blaming the other half. Once you start working on yourself and become the best version of you, you will also influence the others around you.

It’s up to you to transform your life, no matter how impossible it seems. Only you can take control over your life and start working towards success.

If you think you deserve something, you should go and get it, not just wait for it to come to you. Nobody has achieved greatness by sitting and waiting.

Don’t expect wonders – make them happen instead. Hard work is the essential ingredient of every success story. The greatest leaders, scientists and artists have made sacrifices to reach their goals. Even in the hardest times, push through and keep going because you know how powerful you can be.

Don’t build the wall that blocks your way to success and build ladders and staircases that will take you to the top. Every barrier that you will encounter is not a reason to quit, but a call for action. If everything looks perfect, that means you’re not moving fast enough. 

For every person who doesn’t believe in you, dedicate an important milestone that you have reached. But before you start reaching milestones, you have to believe that you can do it.

You cannot expect others to believe in yourself if you don’t believe it. That’s your starting point in everything: work, school, love, life.

Don’t postpone and lose another day of your life. You already have everything you need, you just need to mark the beginning of the life you want to have. Only you can do that. Don’t allow yourself to wake up one day and realise that you have spent your life not doing what you love.
