READ THIS BEFORE YOU PANICK!!




Covid-19 has been challenging for all of us mentally. Many want to have a break from wearing masks but we have to understand that masks are our new safety shields. Many countries have a travel ban due to the pandemic because of which they are unable to travel to their hometown. The following troubles can take a toll on the health of many individuals resulting in restlessness and stress. 

Here are some suggestions to maintain your mental health and keep yourself sane: 

1. Keep Fit: 

Regular exercise and staying fit is one way to keep not only your mental health but also your social health in check resulting in decreased depression, stress etc. Staying fit decreases dark circles and saggy skin making you look younger which is the compliment we all want to hear. 

A fit immune system also reduces our risk in getting affected with the virus bringing us back to why a mask is our safety shield. A person without a mask defines a lot about how much he/she cares for the society. 

2.  Avoid Junk Food:

Keeping fit and exercising will only come to effect if we reduce the amount of junk food that enters our system. Spending for gyms or investing our time working out while we still intake junk food will not come of any help. 

Junk food includes excess amount of saturated fats and sugars resulting in health problems like diabetes, obesity, heart diseases etc. Why I emphasize on having a proper diet is because if you think about it, the moment you know that you are diagnosed with a disease you will already be in a bad state of mind feeling defeated and depressed. Once diagnosed you will need to intake medicines to get healthier but making your kidneys and liver weaker. Lesser the medicines, healthier the body.


3. Carry A Positive Attitude:

Be it whatever it is you are doing, always carry a positive attitude. If somebody compliments you, say 'thank you' and give back with a compliment. If somebody criticizes you, instead of getting offended and ruining your entire mood take it as something to work on. Having a positive attitude makes al the difference, you can trust me on this one. 

Take it this way, instead of worrying and panicking about the world ending, use up that time in figuring out how can you make the world a better place. Figure out what is you can do for yourself and the society to battle this pandemic. The world will be a happier and better place if you have a positive attitude. Instead of worrying why it won't work, think about the many reasons as to why it would work.

4. Spend Time With Those You Enjoy:

Spending your time with those you enjoy keeps you sane especially during a pandemic. Because these are people you love and enjoy, there is no place for frowns and worries. Five years down the line you wouldn't want to look back at this moment wishing you shared more memories together. Also, these are people who you should never feel embarrassed about sharing your feelings with. After all, if you're not going to spend time with them then who else, right? 

Like they say, "positive people = positive mind". Refrain from those who are constantly arguing, minding others businesses and just not doing any good for society and also for the mind. 

Try to minimize your time spend on news channels. You don't want to make room for any negativity in your life. A minimum of 2 hours should be fine to stay updated on what is going on in the world. 

With that said, I would like to conclude by letting you know that you are not alone and we are all in this battle together. I hope you enjoyed this post on mental health and awareness in these tough times.

IS DIGITAL SCHOOLING EFFECTIVE?

Image
DIGITAL SCHOOLING With the pandemic era and education on the line, many countries took to digital schooling or what we know as online schooling to educate the youth.  It looked like it was a good option for a short period but little did we know that the lockdown would cross half a year. After a couple of months of digital schooling, parents as well as students lean more towards the downside of digital schooling when asked about the affects of digital schooling and whether it was something we should consider for a long-term even after the pandemic. This time the complaints were not from students alone but also from parents. It is not always that we see parents and students on the same page. Some of the points that come to light were regarding: 1.Health: a. Poor Posture:  Since students sit for long hours in front of their systems crouched resulting in back aches, and necks. When in school, they have the recess hour as well as physical education when they can stretch their body ...

As a matter of fact, packing and unpacking it can leave you drained out.  Below are a few pointers to make your traveling experience stress-free and enjoyable. Pre-plan your activities for the trip:- Pre-planning your trip can help you keep note of the things you may need to carry along with you.

Struggles Of Almost Every Student

Life Of A Student... Education, one of the most important piece of knowledge parents,family,teachers and society can give to a young one. Being a student is one of the most important but also most confusing phases in the life of a child. It is those days when the parents want to treasure and document every year and progress of the child. Be it taking pictures of their first day to school, school play or dance.  However, there are a few struggles that almost every student face in their life and surprisingly these are things they usually 'Sense' than 'Express'. Below are some of those pointers I personally have felt as a student or noticed my friends going through it during my earlier years. 1.CONFUSION: When unable to understand something that is being taught in class, a student usually hesitates to ask the teacher about their doubt or to explain again with the fear that the teacher may get angry/annoyed. But more importantly, they are worried that the...
