Mind-soul!

Effects of positive reinforcement! I have to give credits to my mom-dad and My beloved mentors for encouraging me do various things,explore my interests in this period of lockdown,this blog page is also a result of that encouragement. Back then in last August I wrote my first write-up and considered sending it to my professor Abhra Sir  and my mentor RC sir  to which I got an amazing feedback :- Very good!  Seeing this feedback my mom encouraged me to write blogs on Psychology subject and create awareness regarding mental health. I obviously took this encouragement very seriously and this blog of 13  (Now 14) posts is an ultimate result! My mom positively reinforced & engaged me into something I love and it makes me feel better! Positive reinforcement is basically small things that make you feel better and make you do something again and again like chocolates, praise, money, talking to friends etc . For example, if you give a kid a chocolate for cleaning a room, he/she will probabl...

Hahahahah, hehehehehe huhuhuhhu! 😂 While I was writing this blog ,my papa told me a joke and the following upper👆 lines were my reactions Every time we start with a story ,this time lets start with a 'joke!' So Here is the joke : J.      O.    K.     E! I hope you had a good laugh!!😆😜 For the past 30 seconds you were happy.... And I'm glad I could be the medium for it. The reason for starting with a joke is clear as the topic is about happiness! After Reading today's blog I'm sure many of you would change their perspective towards seeing life and their definitions of happiness 😊👍 So what is happiness? Some people will say Its a state of mind  in which we experience lots of positive emotions , some will say happiness is a feeling of contentment.  Everyone will have their different definitions of happiness and their different reasons to be happy . For example :some people will be happy because they got promotion i...

Hello ! Good to see you back again. I sincerely hope and pray that everyone in your family and friends are doing well and they are in good health.  Today I'm back with another blog on mental health during times of covid. Nowadays the mental health of people is on stake .Thanks to all the news channels! So I thought of writing on this topic and spreading positivity will be a worthy contribution towards all my readers and society . Okay so let's quickly jump on our topic . Firstly I would like to ask a question . Have you all seen a magnifying glass (भिंग)? It's an amazing tool right ! I'm sure you all might have played with it in your childhood or maybe playing right now too😜 (I'm of strong opinion of not losing the child inside us!). Anyways I would like to highlight it's peculiar quality ; whatever we concentrate it on, it makes it big ,larger than actually it is. Amazing right!! Same way we all have a magnifying glass in our body too! Yes , and it's known...

While cleaning my room recently, I found a ball hidden under a cupboard. I had these colourful, rubber balls which used to come in many sizes. Many might actually know their name too; THE CRAZY BALLS. The peculiar thing about these balls was that the harder you throw them on the ground, the higher they used to bounce; and by higher I mean they literally managed to touch the ceiling once. I realized that these balls can represent a very important concept and skill in a very comic, graphic way, in my head. The concept is called “resilience and life above zero.” Imagine if our life was plotted on a graph paper. Let’s say, the X-axis lies at the centre of the paper, at 0. Everything negative, a lot of negativity, bad health would go below this X axis, which would be life below zero. Then remember the math rule we learnt by heart- positive and negative cancel each other out. So, equal bits of positive and negative, will equal to zero and lie on the X axis. Then finally, lots and lots of po...

Hello everyone!! So I am going to tell you a story Once, there was a son who had a very bad temper, and he sincerely wanted to improve. His dad told him, “If you want to improve your temper, then every time you get angry, I want you to take a nail and hammer it in the big tree in our backyard.” So that’s what the son did. At the beginning, he’d put 5 or 6 nails in each day. After a few days, he was startled at how many nails he’d already put into the tree. He thought, “I had no idea my temper was this bad!” The son then worked hard to not get angry. After a period of hard work, he was able to have days where he didn’t get angry at all. Then, his dad told him, “For each day you don’t get angry at all, you can remove one nail from the tree.” The son was very happy to hear this. He worked hard, and over a long period of time, finally came the day where he could remove the last nail from the tree. He told his dad proudly, “I did it! That’s the last nail gone!” The dad replied, “Even t...

Hello everyone, Today I am up with new blog, on an vital element called self care So,.. whats Self care? Why is it important to have self care practices? You all might be binging with these questions , Right? I've written my blog on this concept and have taken enough care that you get enough answers to your questions. Whats Self care: The idea behind self-care directs us towards taking care of ourselves in every manner be it physically, mentally or emotionally. Though, these days ‘social’ and ‘spiritual’ self-care has also become a big part of this notion.  Any form of a conscious act by a person to promote their overall well-being is part of self-care. There are many taboos of people regarding self care. People feel that foundation of self care comes from a selfish environment and emotions. People associated this term with not caring or caring less about others and being more self absorbed. But what is ‘self-care’ really? In plain words, self-care can be understood as taking good ...

Have you ever felt being ignored , or hurt by people around you, or felt worthless? If yes , then most of the time its because ◆Your expectations are hurting you,   ◆ Or you allow others to take you for granted by your behaviour This is the same topic of our blog which I am going to address today. ☘️Why boundaries over Expectations? What are Boundaries ;boundaries are guidelines, rules or limits that a person creates to identify reasonable, safe and permissible ways for other people to behave towards them and how they will respond when someone passes those limits.They are built out of a mix of conclusions, beliefs, opinions, attitudes, past experiences and social learning. Whereas talking about expectations,It  is a strong belief that something will happen or be the case.It is a belief that is centered on future , it may or may not be realistic, that means it has lots of uncertainty.  Let's understand what are Expectations and Boundaries in brief: Expectations come from n...
