Decision making - An Important skill!

Yesterday I revisited 2nd adhyaya of Bhagwadgeeta, through my beloved friend -  Nisha Channe's blog . She is the youngest individual to write Shrimad Bhagwadgeeta-according to today's era. If you wish to visit her blog ,just click here Coming back to the point,I personally feel 2nd adhyaya of Bhagwadgeeta is important. In this adhyaya is where Arjuna expressed his dillemas regarding the kurukshetra yuddha. He expressed his fears regarding losing his own kins, and hence wanted to back off from the fight. Here shri krishna played a role of counsellor in the life of Arjuna. He guided him from confusion towards a conclusion. And that is why I felt to write a blog on decision making. Decision making is one among the most important skill,an individual must have. Many a times we have dillemas just like Arjuna had, whether to do or not to do. Should I take this course or should I not? Should I talk about it or should I not? Should I do this or not? Will it be appropriate ? What will m...

Empathy- A Magical Tool!

I am sure many of you may agree when I say that it is the situation where we think, “ what is the right thing to say in this case ?” Uncertainty of corona has hit us all in different ways. Some of us are lucky to be strong and positive. Some of us have been feeling slightly worried or negative. Social distancing has made us make video calls or calls to our friends in the hope that we will feel better after talking to them This is where my problem started. I have been fortunate to be very positive in these times. But when a friend called me and said, “You know I am feeling so anxious that this is going to be the end of world”, I have been at a loss of words. I was racking my brain quickly, praying that it works faster than the fastest computer to come up with a, hopefully, pre-fed correct response. Unfortunately that didn't happen.If these were the normal days I would have told her that let's meet and you'll feel better. But here words would only save me and I had terribly ...

Positive reinforcement

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...

Mental Health during Times of Covid

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 (ΰ€­िंΰ€—)? 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...

Life above zero and Resilience

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...

Anger~Part 1

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...
