Disorder (SAD), is a type of depression that occurs at a specific time of the
year, usually during the fall and winter months when daylight hours are
shorter. It is not uncommon for teenagers to experience seasonal depression,
and it can have a significant impact on their emotional well-being and daily
functioning.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Symptoms of Seasonal Depression in Teens:</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Teens with seasonal depression may experience feelings of
sadness, hopelessness, and a general lack of interest in activities they once
enjoyed. They may feel constantly tired and have difficulty maintaining their
usual level of energy and motivation. Seasonal depression can disrupt sleep
patterns, leading to either excessive sleep or difficulty falling asleep and
staying asleep. Some teens may
experience changes in appetite, leading to weight gain or loss. Teens with
seasonal depression may become more irritable, sensitive, and withdrawn from
their friends and family. They may have trouble concentrating on schoolwork or
other tasks, which can negatively impact their academic performance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Causes of Seasonal Depression in Teens:</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The exact cause of seasonal depression is not fully understood,
but several factors may contribute to its development:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The primary trigger for seasonal depression is believed to
be the reduced amount of sunlight during fall and winter. Sunlight plays a role
in regulating the body's internal clock (circadian rhythms) and the production
of neurotransmitters like serotonin, which affects mood. Some individuals may have a genetic
predisposition to seasonal depression or other mood disorders, making them more
susceptible to its onset. Changes in melatonin and serotonin levels due to
altered sunlight exposure can influence mood and sleep patterns. The stress
associated with school, academic performance, and extracurricular activities
during the fall and winter months can contribute to the development or
exacerbation of seasonal depression.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Treatment and Coping Strategies:</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Seasonal depression in teens can be effectively managed with
the following strategies:: Light therapy, or phototherapy, involves exposure to
a bright light that mimics natural sunlight. This treatment can help regulate
mood and sleep patterns. CBT can be beneficial in helping teenagers identify
and challenge negative thought patterns and develop coping mechanisms to manage
seasonal depression. In severe cases, a doctor may prescribe antidepressant
medication to alleviate symptoms. This should be done under the supervision of
a qualified healthcare professional. Engaging in physical activity can improve
mood, increase energy levels, and reduce symptoms of depression. Encouraging
consistent sleep patterns, a balanced diet, and regular social interactions can
help teens manage seasonal depression. Encourage open communication with
parents, teachers, or counsellors to provide support and understanding during
difficult times.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana;">By Vidita Kothari</span></p></div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>Mindful Gurukulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10347306520999451632noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149793520519331844.post-23731254781605338272023-07-14T10:13:00.001+05:302023-07-14T10:13:40.754+05:30<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130;">Teenage Online Learning: Advantages and Disadvantages

conventional classroom instruction in recent years. The global COVID-19 epidemic, which compelled
educational institutions to use remote learning techniques, hastened this change even more. For
teenagers, online learning has a number of benefits and drawbacks that should be carefully
considered.</span></div><div><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: georgia;"> Benefits of Online Education for Teens:</span></div><div><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: georgia;">The flexibility of online learning is one of its main benefits. Teenagers are able to suit their unique
learning preferences and styles by having access to educational materials and completing
assignments at their own pace. Students with part-time jobs or extracurricular interests will
particularly benefit from this flexibility. Teenagers can explore a variety of disciplines outside the
confines of a typical classroom thanks to the access to a wide range of educational resources offered
by online platforms. They may use interactive tools and simulations, access multimedia content, and
learn at their own pace, which will help them better understand and remember difficult ideas.
Adaptive technologies are frequently used in online learning platforms so that the curriculum can be
tailored to the individual requirements and skills of each learner. Teenagers who use this
personalised approach can move at their own pace, concentrate on areas that are difficult for them,
and get timely feedback on how they are doing. This personalised strategy can improve learning
results. Online education gives kids the fundamental technology knowledge and digital literacy they
need in today's increasingly digital environment. Students that participate in online education gain
knowledge of a variety of digital tools, collaboration tools, and online research techniques—skills
that are essential in today's technologically advanced society. </span></div><div><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: georgia;">Cons of online learning for teenagers: </span></div><div><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: georgia;">The limited possibility for face-to-face social interaction is one of the main disadvantages of online
learning for teenagers. Teenagers could not benefit from the peer relationships, teamwork, and
social dynamics that are promoted in a traditional classroom environment. Their emotional health,
interpersonal abilities, and social growth may all be impacted by their solitude. Students must
exercise self-control and drive when learning online. Teenagers must take the initiative to manage
their time, maintain focus, and finish assignments when professors and classmates are not present.
Some students may have trouble staying motivated, which might cause them to put things off and be
less productive. Not every adolescent has equal access to computers, stable internet connections, or
other essential technological tools. Due to this digital divide, effective online learning may be
hampered, restricting opportunities and impeding educational advancement for underprivileged
students. Certain areas, like science labs and the performing arts, significantly rely on experiential
learning and real-world application. Teenagers' capacity to engage in hands-on experimentation and
skill development may be constrained by the fact that online learning may not accurately recreate
the immersive and participatory character of these disciplines.</span></div><div><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: georgia;">By Vidita Kothari</span></div>Mindful Gurukulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10347306520999451632noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149793520519331844.post-59464800381380075492023-07-12T16:39:00.000+05:302023-07-12T16:39:26.114+05:30<h1 style="text-align: left;"> <span style="color: #2b00fe;">The Benefits of Physical Activity and Sports on Teenagers' Health</span></h1><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn2oc-e_MOp8e_HtMXO7AGOUOYxMd8KfSNeS8GY0guB0Vp8t9OGj8lmDJ6eh703Q5zQzyRQ-lRjBgb0xEyouUjyZPwzt5VoNWv_wgYSBh1SsPlPIQk3hjIpdl3rWHOXAB-fMWfKVvcP_sjkkrp8a0pAjF4vEhgLEGkZOM-kS1q3y1IERblunNysqbdzyj2/s500/Untitled%20design%20(7).png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn2oc-e_MOp8e_HtMXO7AGOUOYxMd8KfSNeS8GY0guB0Vp8t9OGj8lmDJ6eh703Q5zQzyRQ-lRjBgb0xEyouUjyZPwzt5VoNWv_wgYSBh1SsPlPIQk3hjIpdl3rWHOXAB-fMWfKVvcP_sjkkrp8a0pAjF4vEhgLEGkZOM-kS1q3y1IERblunNysqbdzyj2/s320/Untitled%20design%20(7).png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">It is crucial for teenagers to engage in sports and physical activity in the digital age, where screen
time and sedentary lifestyles are prevalent. Teenagers' overall well-being is greatly enhanced by
participating in sports and other physical activities, in addition to helping to promote physical fitness.
This essay examines the multiple good effects that sports and physical activity have on adolescents'
wellbeing, including their physical and mental health as well as their social and academic
development. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">Teenage athletes gain greatly from regular participation in sports and physical activity. Exercises that
increase cardiovascular fitness, strength, and endurance include team sports, swimming, running,
and cycling. It encourages healthy growth and development and lowers the risk of obesity and
chronic diseases. Physical activity also helps with posture and bone density, which enhances overall
physical fitness and lowers the risk of future health issues. Physical activity and sports have a
significant impact on adolescents' mental health. Reduced stress, anxiety, and depression are the
results of increased endorphin release, which is a natural mood enhancer. It promotes emotional
wellbeing by giving pent-up emotions and stress a release. Participating in sports on a regular basis
also cultivates discipline, resiliency, and goal-setting abilities. Teenagers' participation in sports and
physical activity fosters social connection and teamwork. For instance, taking part in team sports
teaches vital life skills like leadership, cooperation, and communication. Teenagers learn to cooperate
towards a shared objective, to establish trust, and to form enduring friendships through sports. In
addition, sports offer chances for interaction and encounters with people from other backgrounds,
which promotes tolerance and understanding. Contrary to popular belief, sports do improve
academic performance, as evidenced by several studies linking physical activity to intellectual
success. Teenagers' capacity to acquire and retain knowledge is improved by regular exercise
because it enhances cognitive function, memory, and concentration. Sports participation also fosters
self-control, time management, and a strong work ethic, all of which are transferable traits that help
students succeed in the classroom. Physical activity and sports are essential for fostering teenagers'
overall wellbeing. The advantages are numerous, ranging from physical health to mental health,
social growth, and academic success. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">Teenagers who are encouraged to participate in sports and physical activity gain valuable life skills in
addition to developing healthy habits. Teenagers should have plenty of opportunity to participate in
sports and physical activity, which should be encouraged by schools, parents, and communities.
Teenagers can be empowered to live healthier, happier lives and pave the road for a brighter future
by giving physical activity a high priority.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;">By Vidita Kothari</span></div><br /><div><br /></div>Mindful Gurukulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10347306520999451632noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149793520519331844.post-65833474872521144922023-07-06T17:27:00.000+05:302023-07-06T17:27:04.549+05:30<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><b> <span style="background-color: #f7f7f8; font-size: 16px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">"Behind the Reb</span></span></b></span><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: georgia;"><b><span style="background-color: #f7f7f8; font-size: 16px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">ellion: Unraveling Teenagers' Motivations and Outcomes"</span></b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie93R8SDS9RvTs9xBq7Hkfdf5L6OH_ztPzM5ykwjMWB-nGg6aBotHmac_4_eL4WkYZGTtdXQMYGz6DTlAYs25es7H5EGMi6lKEcLQkDXElpGlyidgmdV1_XiD1TCJHAuYaEyJv10i1VLHrF0ZYKirJ6zKtADtq9ILCWVj-fECkT_6HHEKMV2MbIsmp2MG3/s500/rebellion%20teenager.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie93R8SDS9RvTs9xBq7Hkfdf5L6OH_ztPzM5ykwjMWB-nGg6aBotHmac_4_eL4WkYZGTtdXQMYGz6DTlAYs25es7H5EGMi6lKEcLQkDXElpGlyidgmdV1_XiD1TCJHAuYaEyJv10i1VLHrF0ZYKirJ6zKtADtq9ILCWVj-fECkT_6HHEKMV2MbIsmp2MG3/s320/rebellion%20teenager.png" width="320" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #800180;">Teenagers questioning authority, social conventions, and expectations is a common phenomena
known as teenage rebellion. It is a time of self-discovery, identity development, and independence
declaration. In order to successfully navigate this transitional stage, parents, schools, and society
must have a thorough understanding of the causes and effects of teenage rebellion. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #800180;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #800180;">Teenage Rebellion: Its Roots:</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #800180;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #800180;"> Teenagers rebel against conventional norms and ideas in an effort to forge their distinct identities
and distance themselves from their childhood selves. Teenagers may defy parental authority and
follow the standards of their peer group out of a desire to fit in and be accepted by their peers.
Teenagers push the limits set by their parents and authorities because they aspire for independence
and control over their lives. Teenagers who struggle to deal with their feelings and express them may
rebel due to hormonal changes and emotional turbulence during puberty. Teenagers' behaviour is
influenced by the way that the media, popular culture, and society expectations frequently present
rebellion as a sign of independence and freedom. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #800180;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #800180;">Consequences of teenage rebellion:</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #800180;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #800180;">Teenage rebellion can have negative effects on relationships with parents, resulting in power
conflicts, arguments, and communication breakdowns. Teenagers may act rebelliously by engaging in
risky activities like substance misuse, careless driving, or promiscuity, putting themselves in danger.
Rebellion can result in a lack of commitment and focus on academics, which can have a negative
impact on grades and educational outcomes. Extreme acts of rebellion may end in legal
repercussions and a ruined record, as well as engagement with the authorities. Rebellion that has
not been put to rest can cause mental pain, low self-esteem, and feelings of loneliness or alienation. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #800180;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #800180;">Understanding Teenage Rebellion: </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #800180;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #800180;">By paying close attention to teenagers' viewpoints and worries, acknowledging their feelings, and
demonstrating empathy, parents and other adults can promote understanding. Teenagers can better
comprehend boundaries by having clear, attainable restrictions that also give them the ability to
express themselves. Teenagers can share their ideas and worries freely in a supportive environment
by being encouraged to be open and honest with one another. Teenagers can learn from and be
inspired by positive adult role models who show healthy methods to express their freedom and
pursue personal development. Teenagers' rebellious energy can be channelled into worthwhile
endeavours by getting them involved in hobbies like art, music, sports, or community service.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #800180;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #800180;">By Vidita Kothari</span></div></span><p></p>Mindful Gurukulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10347306520999451632noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149793520519331844.post-72787677195118062652023-06-02T09:23:00.000+05:302023-06-02T09:23:20.037+05:30<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-ba694ed1-7fff-da8c-c48f-498eea4176da" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 20pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Promoting Teens' Healthy Sleep Patterns</span></span></h1><div><span style="font-weight: normal;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMcqyL4O09BME8hk70MZJmD5jgW1qjNfhiko5f8c-PzAg1qIK5VhGQsz5LgxO06Rk-qVsaA7q1F_9k3S_tWZS_21v7st3zLUJxSwFPdL7NkBStUhWOwsS0-EYrpG0yNpkFJOJfm2A6k23uCPhHDHZQ1I6bmWlONySa7UDXNSIKkY16wx7tpeJeYNMo1w/s500/sleep.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMcqyL4O09BME8hk70MZJmD5jgW1qjNfhiko5f8c-PzAg1qIK5VhGQsz5LgxO06Rk-qVsaA7q1F_9k3S_tWZS_21v7st3zLUJxSwFPdL7NkBStUhWOwsS0-EYrpG0yNpkFJOJfm2A6k23uCPhHDHZQ1I6bmWlONySa7UDXNSIKkY16wx7tpeJeYNMo1w/w443-h320/sleep.png" width="443" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-419eefc9-7fff-0813-ffb7-5df9c4b39852"><h3 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 4pt; margin-top: 16pt;"><span style="color: #434343; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Teenagers' physical and mental health are directly impacted by the amount of sleep they get each night.

Describe how sleep affects a person's physical and mental health as well as their emotional, mental, and academic well-being. Help them understand that getting enough sleep is essential for their success and general growth, not just a luxury. Encourage teenagers to develop a regular sleep schedule by putting them to bed and waking them up at the same time every day, including on the weekends. This enhances the quality of their sleep and aids in regulating their body's internal clock. The secret to keeping up a regular sleep schedule is consistency. Create a calming bedtime routine that tells your body it's time to relax and get ready for sleep. This can be done by engaging in relaxing activities like reading a book, taking a warm bath, meditating, deep breathing exercises, or listening to soothing music. When it's almost time for bed, stay away from stimulating activities and avoid using electronics because they can disrupt sleep. Electronic devices like laptops, tablets, and smartphones emit blue light, which can interfere with sleep cycles. Encourage teens to avoid using electronics at least an hour before bed. Instead, they can unwind by doing something enjoyable or reading a book. Daytime exercise has been shown to improve sleep quality at night. Motivate your adolescent to get some physical activity early in the day, whether it be through sports or exercise. Exercising helps release pent-up energy, calms the mind, and gets the body ready for sleep. Caffeine and sugar are two substances that teenagers should limit their intake of, particularly in the later part of the day. Coffee, energy drinks, and certain sodas all contain caffeine, which is known to disrupt sleep patterns. Consuming sugary foods and drinks close to bedtime can produce similar effects, including irritability and difficulty falling asleep.</span></h3><br /><h3 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 4pt; margin-top: 16pt;"><span style="color: #434343; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">It is essential for the physical health of teenagers, the mental well-being of teenagers, and the academic performance of teenagers to promote healthy sleeping habits among teenagers.

While there are genuine worries about the potential downsides of social media use, the benefits should not be overlooked. The focus of this blog is on how young people can use online communities like Facebook and Twitter to broaden their social horizons and enrich their interpersonal relationships.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">Teenagers from all over the world can now easily communicate with one another because of the elimination of physical distance thanks to social media. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance for them to learn about and appreciate other people's ways of life and ways of thinking. Adolescents can grow in their cultural competency and capacity for empathy through interactions with people from other backgrounds. The capacity of social media to unite people who have common interests, passions, and hobbies is astonishing. Teenagers may quickly and easily locate and join online communities devoted to their own interests, whether they be in the fields of music, art, sports, or gaming. Teenagers can find individuals who share their interests, talk shop, and work on projects together in these online groups. Participating in such groups not only helps you feel more at home, but it also opens the door to making friends with people who share your passions. Many young people find it easier to be themselves on social media than they do in direct conversation with adults. It may be simpler for introverts and timid people to strike up interactions with strangers online, which can help them gain confidence and social skills. It's easier to be candid and have meaningful conversations on social media sites because of the low barrier to entry. Teens can build their self-assurance and social skills by engaging in these types of interactions in virtual environments. While social media can be a powerful tool for connecting with others, it is essential for teenagers to navigate these platforms responsibly. Developing good digital citizenship involves understanding the importance of online privacy, respecting others' opinions, and being mindful of the impact of one's online presence. By promoting positive interactions, practicing empathy, and discouraging cyberbullying, teenagers can create a safer and more supportive online environment for themselves and others. It is essential for adolescents to find a balance between the social lives they lead online and the ones they lead in real life. Even though social media can help people make new relationships, it should not be used in place of having actual conversations with real people. Teens are better able to create deeper relationships and develop key interpersonal skills when they are encouraged to participate in activities, organisations, or community events that take place outside of the sphere of digital technology. Teenagers have the opportunity to experience the benefits of both their online and offline social groups when they combine the two. </span></span></div><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Teenagers now have unparalleled access to a global network for sharing information and forming partnerships thanks to social media and other online tools. Teens can gain new perspectives, connect with people who share their interests, boost their self-esteem, and become better digital citizens if they use these sites appropriately. Understanding the potential of social media as a tool for pleasant social encounters and successfully guiding its use is crucial for parents, educators, and teenagers themselves. When used in moderation and with maturity, social media can aid adolescents in their maturation as individuals and as members of society.</span></div></span></div>Mindful Gurukulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10347306520999451632noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149793520519331844.post-25685618477907329912023-05-24T10:39:00.000+05:302023-05-24T10:39:21.620+05:30<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> <span style="font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">The psychological effects of mobile phones on teenagers </span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgK9l-kBx7nWaOvUxrd8oMUbx-AKadNRnwvHoqgzmw3F2vY-KggP1jLcFRWpJd6TlW4Q-62Nni4IqxJ4V91jGhaGFmfIgtu0z_Uz7e9imMhcuIZ9EmFqJmS5gloWOUgPitt0WdIW-Ht9IZYhd37J_T8OoSgbuRjpmiw1rvSnMbzzWA6U9Knd0USzOKtDQ" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="500" height="391" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgK9l-kBx7nWaOvUxrd8oMUbx-AKadNRnwvHoqgzmw3F2vY-KggP1jLcFRWpJd6TlW4Q-62Nni4IqxJ4V91jGhaGFmfIgtu0z_Uz7e9imMhcuIZ9EmFqJmS5gloWOUgPitt0WdIW-Ht9IZYhd37J_T8OoSgbuRjpmiw1rvSnMbzzWA6U9Knd0USzOKtDQ=w391-h391" width="391" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-08312eea-7fff-6b00-f435-1729e20a4f0c" style="font-weight: normal;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The way we interact, work, learn, and travel the world has all been revolutionised by technology, which has become an essential part of our daily life. The value of technology in today's connected and hurried society cannot be emphasised. Additionally, they provide kids a wealth of materials to aid in their academic endeavours, expand their knowledge, and engage in extensive online social networking. Technology, social media, and the internet have many benefits, but they also have many drawbacks. For example, children today often become addicted to their phones and social media, neglecting other obligations like studying and keeping up with their schoolwork. Additionally, it tends to make individuals lazier as they engage with others only online rather than in person.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Teenagers' use of mobile devices also tends to have a psychological impact on them because they are exposed to a lot of highly fabricated content online, which tends to mould their minds into believing that those are the things they should have in their lives and cause a fear of missing out on some experiences that people online say is living the teenage dream. Teenagers also tend to compare themselves to other people, whether it be their way of life, their appearance, or even the things they own that often. Teenagers' stress levels may rise as a result of constant notification exposure and the need to respond quickly. Mobile alerts' addictive qualities, combined with social media's comparison and social validation, can lead to melancholy, low self-esteem, and feelings of inadequacy. As late-night alerts can interfere with teens' sleep cycles and cause insufficient sleep, weariness, and difficulties concentrating during the day, mobile phones also have an impact on sleep cycles. Teenagers are frequently enticed by notifications to use their gadgets late at night, exposing them to blue light that can interfere with their circadian cycle and reduce the quality of their sleep. Excessive smartphone use brought on by alerts might encourage a sedentary lifestyle, which can result in physical health problems like obesity, bad posture, and a decline in fitness.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">One must understand how to control their notifications, and some methods include: Encourage them to set aside specific "notification-free" times for focused study or downtime. Teach youngsters to disable or restrict alerts that aren't absolutely necessary in order to minimise distractions. Encourage youth to use their mobile devices responsibly and partake in activities that enhance their physical and mental health, such as hobbies, physical activity, or quality time with friends and family. To refresh their minds and lessen reliance on notifications, encourage youngsters to take regular breaks from their gadgets and participate in screen-free activities.</span></p></span></div></span></h1><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><p style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">By Vidita Kothari</p></span></div></span></h1></blockquote>Mindful Gurukulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10347306520999451632noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149793520519331844.post-77856303853110803552023-05-23T09:13:00.000+05:302023-05-25T09:43:09.208+05:30<p> </p><span id="docs-internal-guid-1e44a48b-7fff-b7c5-ec9a-bbfd0f053dd6"><h1 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 20pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 20pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Teen Confidence Building: Empowerment and Self-Belief Strategies</span></span></h1><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWkAarA6FwSSeV8TvURxV2u45VVyCixr9HPLTe_C6ePiz_Y36dcTUMBYHw-aNddRhpktyk1TviBB4MSYG82NfzoKT_DTfHp-q2sp5rdpQ2BLktnolZeuoOoCHvDAx-d4cUF4xu4X1qrEmgxVJK8Z1xIoEqAYkz7o3QBP62kQskKzvHr7YWWq04zShxIw/s500/confident%20teen.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWkAarA6FwSSeV8TvURxV2u45VVyCixr9HPLTe_C6ePiz_Y36dcTUMBYHw-aNddRhpktyk1TviBB4MSYG82NfzoKT_DTfHp-q2sp5rdpQ2BLktnolZeuoOoCHvDAx-d4cUF4xu4X1qrEmgxVJK8Z1xIoEqAYkz7o3QBP62kQskKzvHr7YWWq04zShxIw/w456-h320/confident%20teen.png" width="456" /></a></div><span id="docs-internal-guid-c3783881-7fff-2140-e162-6b00f9702f60"><h3 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 4pt; margin-top: 16pt;"><span style="color: #434343; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Teenagers' overall well-being and success are heavily reliant on their confidence. It gives individuals the ability to overcome obstacles, express themselves, and pursue their goals. Building and maintaining confidence, on the other hand, can be a journey, especially during the pivotal adolescent years.</span></span></h3><h3 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 4pt; margin-top: 16pt;"><span style="color: #434343; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Help teens understand that self-acceptance is the first step to real confidence. Tell them to be proud of their strengths, gifts, and individuality. Teach them to be proud of their successes, no matter how big or small, and to be kind to themselves when things don't go as planned. Stress that self-worth comes from within and isn't just based on how other people treat you.Set up a supportive setting for them at home, at school, and among their friends. Encourage good communication and give criticism that is helpful. Be their biggest fan and help them out when they need it. Put them in a group of people who believe in their abilities and back their goals. A network of people who care about them can help them feel more confident and strong.Explain to adolescents the significance of having a development mentality. Encourage children to see difficulties and setbacks as chances for learning and development rather than as obstacles to be overcome. Assist them in transforming empowering and positive thoughts into their negative internal dialogue. Encourage an attitude that places a premium on exertion, resiliency, and the conviction that one's skills can be improved via hard work and consistent application.For growing confidence, it's important to have good communication and assertiveness skills. Encourage teens to say what they think and feel in an open and polite way. Teach them how to listen actively and how important it is to communicate well in order to build good relationships. Give them advice on how to stand up for themselves when faced with pressure from their peers or difficult situations.Help teens become aware of what they say to themselves and push them to say nice things to themselves. Teach them to question negative thoughts and replace them with positive statements and promises. Encourage them to think about their skills and accomplishments. This will help them believe in themselves and feel confident.</span></span></h3><h3 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 4pt; margin-top: 16pt;"><span style="color: #434343; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The process of fostering self-assurance in adolescents is a journey that calls for assistance, direction, and patience. Teenagers can be empowered to appreciate the one-of-a-kind qualities and capabilities they possess if we encourage them to accept themselves, to set goals that are attainable, to cultivate an environment that is supportive, to encourage the development of skills, to foster a growth mindset, to engage in self-care practises, to cultivate effective communication skills, and to encourage positive self-talk. Keep in mind that developing confidence is an ongoing process, and with time and effort, adolescents can cultivate unshakeable self-belief as well as the confidence to pursue their aspirations and navigate the world with resilience and authenticity.</span></span></h3></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 20pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 20pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">By Bhakti</span></div></span>Mindful Gurukulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10347306520999451632noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149793520519331844.post-4748945738475090362023-05-22T09:40:00.000+05:302023-05-22T09:40:05.016+05:30<p> <span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 24pt; font-weight: 700; text-align: center; text-decoration-line: underline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Should Teenagers Have a Mobile Phone?</span></p><span id="docs-internal-guid-fbad5b65-7fff-8e35-9f1e-3170ab09daf1"><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">With the advent of the information era, mobile phones became widely used and now play an important role in people's daily lives. But it's fair to wonder if teenagers really need their own phones. Others worry about the potential detrimental impacts on their well-being and development, while proponents insist it is necessary for their safety and communication. This blog post will discuss the pros and cons of providing teenagers with cell phones.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA_2lyLbXnKGb3QMH43O1g20zH-WqV3cofeLLa_Dx1VAA_wXh2JIoH3a6HQ-aUq15FMZ0x5ZIaUcQM5xUOvHwlKzCHvek6Us-AODonMye19vBl_TjS8Xdyf9FbIvNWqJh1XXnq3znLlBYF64iNlFN3zK5c4xqhjHBADLbfyRBXhbGcI0nQWX-8S4dj-A/s500/teen%20pictures%20with%20mobile.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA_2lyLbXnKGb3QMH43O1g20zH-WqV3cofeLLa_Dx1VAA_wXh2JIoH3a6HQ-aUq15FMZ0x5ZIaUcQM5xUOvHwlKzCHvek6Us-AODonMye19vBl_TjS8Xdyf9FbIvNWqJh1XXnq3znLlBYF64iNlFN3zK5c4xqhjHBADLbfyRBXhbGcI0nQWX-8S4dj-A/w457-h320/teen%20pictures%20with%20mobile.png" width="457" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Parents often give their teenagers cell phones to help them stay in touch with one another and in case of an emergency. Parents can more easily coordinate activities, check in, and respond quickly to emergencies when they have access to their children's whereabouts via mobile phones. Teenagers feel more at ease knowing they can talk to their parents or guardians if they're having problems. Teenagers' cell phones can be a great resource for learning. They open up a world of information to pupils, letting them do research, use instructional apps, and improve their educational experience overall. Teenagers can use their mobile devices to keep track of appointments, plan out their days, and set alarms to remind them of important dates and tasks. Teenagers' emotional and social development rely heavily on their relationships with others, and this is especially true during the adolescent years. The convenience of their mobile phones allows individuals to keep in touch with loved ones and make new ones easily. Teens get access to news, discussions, and new points of view through online social networks. Teens who have their own phones are better prepared for adulthood. It teaches children to be responsible owners of their electronic devices, users of their data plans, and participants in the online community. Teens can benefit from learning about digital citizenship, privacy, and security through their mobile devices. Teens' health and happiness may suffer if they use their phones too much. Sedentary behaviour, disturbed sleep, and eye strain are all possible outcomes of excessive screen usage. Teenagers should be encouraged to find a happy medium between screen time and other pursuits, such as sports and socialising with their peers. Teenagers are particularly vulnerable to cyberbullying, harassment, and harmful material in the online world. They could be vulnerable to internet predators or participate in other unsafe behaviours if not properly supervised. Teens need their parents and guardians to teach them about online safety, foster an environment of open communication, and use appropriate parental restrictions. Teenagers' ability to concentrate and do well in school may be negatively impacted by their use of mobile devices. Constant interruptions from social media, messaging apps, and video games can take students' minds off of their schoolwork. Teenagers can learn to strike a balance between their schoolwork and their cell phone use if they are given guidelines and set aside study time. Teens' inability to learn crucial social skills may be exacerbated if they rely too heavily on their mobile devices for communication. It could lead to less time spent interacting face-to-face, less compassion, and trouble forming deep connections with others. Furthermore, excessive usage of social media can lead to inferiority complexes, unhealthy comparisons, and low self-esteem. Teens' worries can be lessened by encouraging them to take part in offline activities and by encouraging open discussions about mental health. </span><p></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Teens and cell phones are a delicate topic, and parents need to weigh the pros and downsides very carefully before making a decision. Even though smartphones have many positive applications, it is important to address health, internet safety, distraction, and social development worries. It is important to find a middle ground by setting rules, encouraging responsible behaviour, and encouraging open communication between parents and their teenagers. Teenagers really need to always carry a mobile phone with them.</span></p><div><br /><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">By Aagam Sarvaiya</span></div></span>Mindful Gurukulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10347306520999451632noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149793520519331844.post-53837545860660289942023-05-16T11:29:00.000+05:302023-05-16T11:29:00.189+05:30<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"> <span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;">THE IMPACT OF STRESS IN TEENS DURING EXAM PREPARATION AND PERFORMANCE</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXFqcK0aO4HngPanjwtdXiUk0k9M466-WD7Xtm9_qQdV74f2YZu66Z-eito9HOX2TfPWSI-frzQGwbVnAGFQ5u_EG6d5G-2hHvGO8_cQSI9RKndU2_x8WXMHnvUR53-KtQ4u2a_0MJMSA8FYaHSSeYh0SDUPkHPhUxoBiZVNAkyXfv3QWN_K3ED5yC-w/s300/distraction.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><span style="color: white;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="300" height="347" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXFqcK0aO4HngPanjwtdXiUk0k9M466-WD7Xtm9_qQdV74f2YZu66Z-eito9HOX2TfPWSI-frzQGwbVnAGFQ5u_EG6d5G-2hHvGO8_cQSI9RKndU2_x8WXMHnvUR53-KtQ4u2a_0MJMSA8FYaHSSeYh0SDUPkHPhUxoBiZVNAkyXfv3QWN_K3ED5yC-w/w600-h347/distraction.png" width="600" /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Stress and Anxiety are and have a significant impact on the preparation and performance of teenagers during exams. It can negatively affect their concentration, memory, and overall cognitive function, which can ultimately affect their academic performance.</span></span></div><p></p><div style="text-align: left;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-e1c4abfb-7fff-932c-94b9-e118730108f5"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: white; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">One of the most significant impacts of stress on students is its effect on mental health. Stress can lead to anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues, which can affect students' academic performance and personal well-being. When students are stressed, they may struggle to focus, retain information, and perform to the best of their abilities on exams and assignments. This can lead to feelings of frustration, disappointment, and low self-esteem, which can further exacerbate stress levels.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: white; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">It is very important for a student to have good mental and physical health in order to be able to thrive in their academic life. Healthy people are able to focus on their work and remember better and even perform better while appearing for the examination.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: white; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Stress has a lot of ill effects in a student's life. It is the root cause of procrastination in studies as when students are stressed they tend to put off their work up until the last minute, causing them to have to cram all of the material into their brain in a very short period of time which gives them another reason to stress about as they now also have to worry of they will be able to finish their work in time for their exam. Thus students must learn to manage their time properly in order to avoid procrastination and also reduce their stress levels.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: white; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Stress and anxiety also tend to mess up one’s sleep cycles which has a significant impact on one’s exam performance. Sleep deprivation can impair cognitive function, memory, and concentration, making it difficult for teens to focus during exams and recall information they have learned.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: white; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Stress can also lead to anxiety disorders which have various physical symptoms as well, such as increased heartbeat, shaking, headache, stomach ache, sweating and shortness of breath. These can have a negative effect on our exam performance as it can cause us to lose focus and also forget what we had studied during the exam. Anxiety can also cause negative thoughts and self-doubt, which can further impair exam performance.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: white; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Stress can also affect performance on exams. When teens are stressed, they may feel overwhelmed and experience a heightened sense of pressure to do well. This can lead to test anxiety, which can cause them to freeze up or forget what they have studied when taking an exam. This can lead to poor performance and feelings of disappointment and frustration.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: white; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">We must learn to manage our stress during exams. To manage stress during exam preparation and performance, there are several strategies that teens can use. First, it's essential to take breaks regularly during study sessions to avoid burnout. This can involve taking a short walk, listening to music, or doing another relaxing activity that can help to reduce stress. Teens can also try practicing relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, yoga, or meditation, to manage stress during exam periods. Another useful strategy is to plan ahead and organize study schedules. Breaking down study materials into manageable chunks can help teens to feel less overwhelmed and better prepared for exams. They can also create study groups with friends or classmates, which can provide social support and a sense of community during the exam period.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: white; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">It is also essential to prioritize self-care, such as getting enough sleep, eating a healthy diet, and engaging in physical activity regularly. These activities can help to reduce stress levels, improve mood, and increase overall well-being</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: white; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Time management is another important practice that one must inculcate in their lives in order to reduce stress and also do well during their examinations and they can to so by creating a proper schedule for themselves and studying from the start instead of trying to cram all of their work in a short period of time as that would cause us to retain even less knowledge than we would have </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: white; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">In conclusion we can say that exam stress is something that almost all students go through and it can have a lot of ill effects in our academic life but we must learn to manage it and there are various ways to do so such preparing early on instead of procrastinating and waiting till the last minute, taking breaks in the middle of studying to prevent ourselves from burning out, having a healthy diet and having a good sleep cycle that would help our brain function better, practicing Relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, and yoga can help to reduce stress levels. Practice these techniques regularly, and use them before and after studying to help you to stay calm and focused.

Effective time management ensures that you can balance your academic work and personal life, while also ensuring that you are well-prepared for your exams. Here are some reasons why time management is important in exam preparation.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Effective time management <span style="font-weight: normal;">allows you to prioritize your tasks, making it easier for you to decide what needs to be done first. By creating a to-do list and organizing your tasks according to their level of importance, you can ensure that you focus on the most important tasks first. This ensures that you do not waste time on trivial tasks, leaving you with sufficient time to focus on exam preparation.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">When you manage your time effectively, you can stay focused on your exam preparation without getting distracted by other activities. By setting a schedule and allocating specific times for study, you can ensure that you are not easily distracted by other tasks, such as social media, phone calls or other activities.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">Along with the other benefits of time management, it also helps us cope with, and reduce the amount of stress associated with examinations. Exam preparation can be stressful, especially if you are not well-prepared. However, effective time management can help you manage stress and reduce anxiety levels. By setting aside regular study times, you can ensure that you have sufficient time to prepare for your exams, without cramming at the last minute. This reduces stress and anxiety levels, which can help you perform better during your exams.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">Effective time management ensures that you achieve your goals by providing structure and organization to your day.

A 14-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with her rape and murder.</a><div>They say the teen’s “addiction to porn” inspired him to do the crime. The juvenile offender’s father served three years in prison for raping the juvenile offender’s sister. He was released from prison about a month ago. On November 29, a 17-year-old was accused of watching porn for hours before raping and killing a 10-year-old girl who lived next door in Bemetara district. This is the second time in a fortnight that police have linked porn to a child rape.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><b><i>Introduction - What is Teen Pornography Addiction?</i></b></div><div>Pornography addiction among teenagers is a growing issue with grave consequences. Pornography addiction is a mental health condition that can affect adolescents of all ages, genders, and socioeconomic backgrounds. It is a compulsive and uncontrollable need to view pornographic content, which includes videos, images, and other types of digital material. The primary effects of teen pornography addiction are psychological and social, and can include mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and isolation. This addiction can also lead to physical problems such as sleep deprivation, physical illness, and drug and alcohol abuse.</div><div>Despite the increasing awareness of pornography addiction, many people are still unaware of its full scope, and the effects that it can have on teenagers. Pornography addiction can lead to serious mental and physical health issues, and it is important to understand the causes and effects of this addiction in order to help prevent it from occurring in the first place.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><b><i>Reasons for Teen Pornography Addiction</i></b></div><div>There are several reasons why adolescents may become addicted to pornography. The most common causes are the easy accessibility of pornography on the internet, hormone imbalances during adolescence, the effects of puberty, and the influence of parenting.</div><div>The internet has made it easier than ever for adolescents to access pornography. With the click of a button, they can watch a wide variety of explicit content, including videos and images, without having to leave the comfort of their own homes. This easy access to pornography can quickly lead to addiction, as adolescents are more likely to engage in activities that are easily accessible and enjoyable.</div><div>Hormone imbalances during adolescence can also lead to pornography addiction. During this period of rapid physical and cognitive development, adolescents are more susceptible to addiction. Hormones such as testosterone, estrogen, and oxytocin can all affect a teenager’s ability to control their impulses, making them more likely to engage in activities such as watching pornography.</div><div>The effects of puberty can also contribute to pornography addiction. As adolescents enter puberty, their bodies go through significant changes, including an increase in hormones and sex drive. This can lead to a heightened interest in sexual content, which can quickly lead to addiction.</div><div>Lastly, parenting can also play a role in pornography addiction. Poor parenting, or a lack of parental supervision, can lead to adolescents engaging in activities such as watching pornography without consequence. This can lead to a reinforcement of the behavior, and can ultimately lead to addiction.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><b><i>Harrowing Effects of Teen Pornography Addiction</i></b></div><div>The effects of teen pornography addiction can be devastating and long-lasting. It can lead to serious psychological and social issues, such as depression, anxiety, isolation, and low self-esteem. It can also lead to physical health issues, such as sleep deprivation and physical illness. Furthermore, it can even lead to drug and alcohol abuse, as well as an increased risk of rape and molestation.</div><div>The psychological effects of teen pornography addiction can be particularly damaging. It can lead to feelings of guilt, shame, and isolation, as well as an inability to form healthy relationships. It can also lead to an overall decrease in mental health, as adolescents become more and more dependent on pornography for pleasure and escape.</div><div>The social effects of teen pornography addiction can also be severe. Adolescents who are addicted to pornography may become socially isolated, and may find it difficult to engage in conversations with their peers. This can lead to a feeling of loneliness and disconnection, which can further exacerbate the psychological effects of the addiction.</div><div>In addition to the psychological and social effects, teen pornography addiction can also lead to physical health issues. It can lead to sleep deprivation, as adolescents spend more and more time engaged in activities such as watching pornography. It can also lead to physical illness, as the body is deprived of the essential nutrients and rest that it needs to remain healthy.</div><div>Lastly, teen pornography addiction can lead to drug and alcohol abuse, as adolescents seek out substances to cope with the negative effects of the addiction. It can also lead to an increased risk of rape and molestation, as adolescents may become desensitized to sexual content and may be more likely to engage in risky sexual behavior.</div><div>The Role of Internet, Hormone Imbalance, Puberty, and Parenting</div><div>The internet plays a major role in teen pornography addiction. As mentioned earlier, the internet makes it easier than ever for adolescents to access pornographic content. This easy access can quickly lead to addiction, as adolescents are more likely to engage in activities that are easily accessible and enjoyable.</div><div>Hormone imbalances during adolescence can also contribute to pornography addiction. During this period of rapid physical and cognitive development, adolescents are more prone to addiction due to the changes in hormones. This can make them more likely to engage in activities such as watching pornography.</div><div>The effects of puberty can also contribute to teen pornography addiction. As adolescents enter puberty, their bodies go through significant changes, including an increase in hormones and sex drive. This can lead to a heightened interest in sexual content, which can quickly lead to addiction.</div><div>Lastly, parenting can also play a role in teen pornography addiction. Poor parenting, or a lack of parental supervision, can lead to adolescents engaging in activities such as watching pornography without consequence. This can lead to a reinforcement of the behavior, and can ultimately lead to addiction.</div><div>The Role of Economy and Morality</div><div>Economy and morality also play a role in teen pornography addiction. The economic background of a teen can influence their access to pornography. If a teen comes from a family that cannot afford internet access, they may not have easy access to pornographic content. However, if they come from a family that can afford internet access, they may be more likely to engage in activities such as watching pornography.</div><div>Morality also plays a role in teen pornography addiction. Adolescents who come from religious backgrounds may be less likely to engage in activities such as watching pornography, as it goes against their moral beliefs. On the other hand, adolescents who come from non-religious backgrounds may be more likely to engage in activities such as watching pornography, as it does not go against their moral beliefs.</div><div>Solutions & Prevention</div><div>There are several solutions and prevention strategies that can be implemented in order to reduce the effects of teen pornography addiction. The most effective solutions involve restrictions on internet content use, monitoring of internet use in adolescence, mindfulness to create habit of response rather than react, improve communication with teenagers, sex education, and counseling.</div><div>Restrictions on internet content use can help reduce the effects of teen pornography addiction. By limiting the types of content that adolescents can access, it can prevent them from becoming addicted to pornography. It is also important to monitor internet use in adolescence, as this can help identify any signs of addiction and intervene as soon as possible.</div><div>Mindfulness can also help reduce the effects of teen pornography addiction. By teaching adolescents to recognize their emotions and create a habit of response rather than react, they can learn to control their impulses and make healthier choices.</div><div>Improving communication with teenagers can also help reduce the effects of teen pornography addiction. By having open and honest conversations about sexuality and pornography, parents can help adolescents understand the dangers of addiction and provide support in overcoming the addiction.</div><div>Sex education is another important prevention strategy. By providing adolescents with accurate and comprehensive information about sex and sexuality, they can be better equipped to make informed decisions and prevent addiction.</div><div>Counseling can also help reduce the effects of teen pornography addiction. Counseling can help adolescents understand the root causes of their addiction and provide them with the tools and support that they need to overcome the addiction.</div><div><b><i>Conclusion - Changing Mindset and Taking Action</i></b></div><div>Teen pornography addiction is a serious issue with grave consequences. It can lead to serious psychological and social issues, as well as physical health issues. The primary causes of teen pornography addiction are the easy accessibility of pornography on the internet, hormone imbalances during adolescence, the effects of puberty, and the influence of parenting.</div><div>In order to reduce the effects of teen pornography addiction, it is important to implement solutions and prevention strategies such as restrictions on internet content use, monitoring of internet use in adolescence, mindfulness to create habit of response rather than react, improve communication with teenagers, sex education, and counseling.</div><div>It is also important to change the mindset around teen pornography addiction. By understanding the causes and effects of this addiction, we can work together to help prevent it from occurring in the first place. Only then can we take the necessary steps to help those who are already addicted, and support them in their journey to recovery.</div><div><br></div>Mindful Gurukulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10347306520999451632noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149793520519331844.post-70573187976984482422022-12-16T17:19:00.001+05:302022-12-16T17:19:37.837+05:30Decoding Suicides in students preparing for competitive exams and higher education:Causes and Solutions <div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>The recent spate of suicides by students in Kota, Rajasthan, has sent shockwaves across the country and ignited a debate on why this is happening. A closer look at the situation reveals that the students are under tremendous pressure to perform, while they are unable to cope with the expectations of their families and the society at large. It is important to understand the underlying causes of these suicides and to put in place measures to ensure that such tragedies do not recur in the future. We need to come up with strategies that will help students to cope better with their academic and personal challenges and to ensure that their mental health is taken care of. This article will take an in-depth look at the causes of the Kota suicides and suggest possible solutions.</div><div><b>Some Facts about the three suicides in Kota recently</b></div><div>There were two students from Bihar, ages 17 and 18, living near each other in a PG and attending the same coaching classes. Both were studying for different entrance exams, one for medical and the other for IIT. The two students kept in close contact with their families, talking to them and their parents daily. The night before their death, the two students had met, and both were found to have died from hanging. Neither of them was doing well in their exams or attending classes. A third student from Madhya Pradesh studying for NEET consumed poison after having a conversation with their parents and eating his dinner.</div><div><b>Causes of suicides among students studying in Kota coaching classes</b></div><div>The recent spate of suicides in Kota, Rajasthan, has put the spotlight on the mental health of students. Many parents and students have raised concerns about the level of stress faced by students and the general lack of assistance for students dealing with mental health issues. The media has also speculated about the academic pressure faced by students and the high fees charged by private coaching institutions. This article takes a closer look at the possible causes of the Kota suicides and suggests possible solutions to address them. </div><div><b>a. Academic pressure</b></div><div>Students often feel that they are not able to cope with the academic pressure and the expectations that are on them. They feel that they need to perform well in their examinations and often feel that they are not able to achieve this. This can lead to a sense of failure and frustration, and put pressure on the students to improve their performance. People also often compare their performance with others and may expect others to perform poorly and be judgmental about other’s academic performance. This can also put pressure on students and make them feel as though they are not able to live up to their own expectations or the expectations of others. Students may also be sensitive to social judgment about their performance. They may feel that their classmates and others in the society may judge them for performing poorly and expect them to perform better in their next examination. This may put pressure on students and make them feel that they have to live up to the expectations of others and perform better.</div><div><b>b. Financial constraints</b></div><div>Parents often have to take loans and take money from their relatives and friends to be able to afford the tutoring fees in Kota. They are also expected to bear the expenses related to their travel and food. This may put students under a lot of stress and add to their problems of academic performance.Some students may have to travel to Kota from other parts of the country, leaving their homes and their parents behind. This can add to their feelings of stress and anxiety, and make them feel a lack of support from their parents. As a result of the removal of parental supervision, students are more left alone. Living in close quarters with other similarly-placed students who are in a cutthroat competition with one another academically is a recipe for disaster. They are struggling emotionally and are looking for support from others, but all they can find are rivals.</div><div>Coaching Classes like these are like psychological pressure cookers just waiting to blow.</div><div><b>c. Lack of emotional support</b></div><div><br></div><div>Involvement of Mirror Imaging in 2 Student Deaths in Bihar. One got depressed, while the other shared his reactions and feelings. The already heavy depression was amplified, and so were the ramifications of any terrible decisions made. To the contrary, they were mutually reinforcing each other's destructive behavior rather than pulling them out of the despair.</div><div>Many Kota students feel that they have no one to turn to in their moments of crisis. They may feel that they are too ashamed to share their feelings with their parents and may have difficulty in sharing their feelings with their friends and relatives. This can increase their feelings of isolation and make them more prone to suicide. </div><div>Sometimes, students will place unreasonable expectations on themselves and then be harsh on them when they fall short of those benchmarks.</div><div>Some students are more sociable than others and, as a result, have a greater need for regular social interaction; however, due to intense competition and demanding time commitments, these students often find themselves isolated.</div><div>Students were excessively hard on themselves for not performing well in class and could not accept failure as an option.</div><div>In addition, their parents' negative comments reinforced their sense of doom, so they couldn't think about anything but the exam.</div><div><b>d. Warning signs of suicide</b></div><div><br></div><div>Altered conduct: Both became absentee due to stress and depression brought on by the intensity of the competition. They were attempting to escape confrontation with their classmates by running away.Withdrawal is the primary symptom of depression,as a result, we had fewer interactions with other people.When combined with the other friend's already-present depression, this was a recipe for disaster.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Impact of suicides on society</b></div><div>The media reports of suicides in Kota have led to people questioning whether coaching centres are in any way responsible for the tragic deaths. Some parents have also expressed concerns about the high fees that these coaching centres charge, as well as the general pressure that their children face to perform in their examinations. There have also been reports that coaching centres may have taken advantage of the desperation of students by asking them to pay extra money and to take loans to pay the tutoring fees. While the reasons for the Kota suicides may be different from person to person, the fact that this is happening in a significant number of cases cannot be denied. Therefore, it is important for the authorities to understand the underlying causes of these suicides and to put in place measures to ensure that such tragedies do not recur in the future.</div><div>Solutions to reduce suicides among students</div><div>One way to reduce the number of suicides among students in Kota is to improve the learning environment. This can be done by reducing the number of students in a class, providing adequate space for students to think and reflect, and allowing students to take periodic breaks from their studies. It is important that parents and teachers be more aware of the signs of mental health issues and help students manage their stress better. Mental health issues affect a person’s ability to think clearly and make decisions, and can develop into a serious condition if left untreated. Mental health awareness programmes can be conducted regularly in coaching classes to help students become more aware of mental health issues, know how to deal with them and seek professional help if needed. </div><div><b>Message for Parents</b> </div><div>If your child is residing at a hostel, it is imperative that you keep a close eye on them and pay frequent visits. Students' capabilities must be recognised and respected, and they must not be pushed beyond their limits. If a student is struggling academically, parents should avoid making any disparaging comments to them. Pay more attention to the steps taken to prepare for the exam and reward that instead of the total result. Rather than viewing failures negatively, try viewing them as learning opportunities. It is important to integrate mindfulness training into their routine study routine.</div><div>In case your planned career path doesn't work out, know that there is always another option that will not always lead to a worse future.</div><div><br></div>Mindful Gurukulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10347306520999451632noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149793520519331844.post-53844467969991469592022-08-16T09:41:00.000+05:302022-08-28T11:11:44.464+05:30Discovering New Methods for Improving Your Personal Situation<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div> Everyone seems to be on the lookout for the keys to good health, abundant prosperity, and contentment. As long as you understand yourself, you'll be able to succeed in both personal and professional relationships. Everything starts with a strategy. Personal development can lead to a variety of positive outcomes, such as a more fulfilling marriage or family life or a promotion at work. Doing your best at all times, whether at work, at home, or in your personal life, is the first step toward personal improvement. Even the smallest of goals can propel us to new heights and inspire us to achieve more.<p></p><p>In many cases, people get tangled up in other people's definitions of success. We all have a different definition of contentment. It's crucial to recognize that if we spend the majority of our time and energy attempting to achieve the aspirations of others, we'll end up searching for meaning in our lives indefinitely and feeling depressed. The first step in enhancing one's personal life is to recognize what is important.</p><p>The ability to maintain a sense of equilibrium is essential for professional success. Some people don't consider success as anything bigger than themselves. Our innate talents are sometimes overshadowed by the need to perform a dominant role. This causes a lot of stress and imbalance in one's daily routine.. Self-reliance is essential if you want to improve your quality of life on a personal level. Stress builds up instead of enhancing your life if you're always doing for others and rarely taking time for yourself. Priority should be given to your well-being. Our inability to turn down the demands of others is becoming more widespread, and we are becoming consumed by their wants and needs. Improve your personal life by learning to maintain a healthy work-life balance and focusing on your goals.</p><p>It's easy to sabotage your own happiness if you're always critical of yourself, unwilling to take praise, or constantly wishing you were someone else. Positive self-talk is essential to a strong sense of self-esteem, so don't belittle yourself or others. Understanding that no matter what happens, you'll be fine. Improved self-confidence is a critical component of personal growth. It's going to take daily effort to keep your positive beliefs at the forefront of your thinking and to eliminate the negative ones. Another important element of success is having faith in one's own abilities.</p><p>Do not be with people who discourage you, but rather people who encourage you. If you take just a few little efforts to improve your personal life, you'll be surprised at how much better you'll feel. Moving ahead is the key to success. Taking the necessary actions to move forward and avoid looking back is essential to your success. Obviously, history is essential, but you don't want to dwell on your mistakes from the past. You can use your mistakes as a way to grow. Make use of the lessons you've learned, and then keep moving forward.</p><p>The ability to comprehend your life is enhanced when you surround yourself with positive influences. It is up to you to direct the flow of information in your social circle. Taking back control of your life will increase your personal well-being.</p>Mindful Gurukulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10347306520999451632noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149793520519331844.post-56482972880550299292022-08-09T22:16:00.000+05:302022-08-28T11:37:12.001+05:30Self-Improvement Through Cognitive Training<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><p> It is important to use your thoughts to gain the attributes that point you toward the proper way. </p><p>All of us are bound by some sort of obligation. It's impossible to live a fulfilling life without making a number of commitments. You make promises to yourself when you sign up for a task. Make a pact with yourself and start keeping your end of the bargain. I make a firm commitment to letting go of bad habits that are getting in the way of my achieving my goals and improving my personal life.</p><p>You can use your abilities to improve your life by evaluating them. Keep looking for new abilities while you evaluate your current ones. Embrace the things you don't like and look past them in order to learn new things.</p><p>Do you know what's most important to you? Do you have a clear picture of everything you have in mind? To ensure that you're on the proper track to better your personal life, reassess your plans. Don't be scared to make changes if you see room for improvement. If you want to better your life, taking action is the final step you'll take.</p><p>When it comes to failure, how do you see it? We all experience failure on a daily basis. When we fail, we learn how to grow and become better people. If you're constantly worrying about failing, you won't get anywhere fast. Failure is a normal part of life. Accept responsibility for your mistakes, learn from them, and take action to improve your situation.</p><p>As soon as someone hears the word "no," they become nervous. The word "no" is not a form of rejection. That means that when you answer "no, I'm not going to the bar," it's implying that you have other things to do with your time. You have to tell someone you care about no from time to time. If your partner asks you to watch TV when you know you have homework due, you may have to say no. Your partner should not be able to hold you back. It's perfectly acceptable to decline.</p><p>We all adhere to the same set of regulations. Rules are a necessary aspect of life, although they can be difficult to understand at times. If you don't want to speak up and protest in a constructive way, you'll have to learn to open up your pathway and digest them nevertheless. It's a waste of everyone's time when people whine about regulations they don't like and don't do anything about it. You have the ability, but you must use it.</p><p>There will be a series of practise rides:</p><p>It's all about the rides. Every time we get out of the house, we're taking a test ride. Every day brings both good and negative experiences. How do you tackle difficulties? Risk-takers tend to be better able to deal with adversity. For those who dread change, however, they will need to discover a manner of dealing with the difficulties of life. Sadly, too many people resort to excessive drinking or drug use as a means of coping with these difficulties. Be careful not to become one of these people.</p><p>You have a wide range of choices to make in your life. You'll be presented with both good and terrible alternatives on a daily basis. Even if you make a mistake, don't linger on it; instead, use your resources to learn from your mistakes and try to avoid them in the future.</p>Mindful Gurukulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10347306520999451632noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149793520519331844.post-35653183520822576472022-07-30T08:25:00.000+05:302022-08-28T11:36:58.214+05:30Bettering life with courage<p> You can begin to improve your life as soon as you have a sense of courage. Constructing bravery will enable you to take risks that would otherwise be out of your comfort zone and lead to a brighter future. To overcome fear, you must first have the courage to do it. Bravery is the act of recognising that you have fears but being willing to figure out how to overcome them and not allowing them to control your life. It's okay to have your anxieties at appropriate moments. </p><p><br></p><p>The more courageous you become, the more you'll be able to direct your own life. You'll get the ability to graciously accept both punishment and reward. Courageous people are often compelled to accept blame and responsibility for their actions, while also evaluating their own behaviours and using what they've learned to improve their future. When new chances present themselves, brave people will seize them rather than remain on the sidelines. In contrast, a courageous person will take a step back and examine his or her mistakes with equanimity.</p><p><br></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://images.saymedia-content.com/.image/ar_4:3%2Cc_fill%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:eco%2Cw_1200/MTg3MTc1MjY2OTI4MzA2MDYy/courage-inside-me-make-me-more-motivated-and-courage-to-do-unposssible-work-also.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="600" src="https://images.saymedia-content.com/.image/ar_4:3%2Cc_fill%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:eco%2Cw_1200/MTg3MTc1MjY2OTI4MzA2MDYy/courage-inside-me-make-me-more-motivated-and-courage-to-do-unposssible-work-also.jpg" width="800"></a></div><br>Relaxation comes naturally to someone who wants to improve their situation. Even if their plans go awry, this person will remain calm. Individuals will find something else to occupy their time if it rains the next day and still be glad to join our trip.<p></p><p><br></p><p>You must learn to put your trust in yourself if you hope to achieve success and happiness in your life. When you have faith in yourself, you have the ability to have faith in others. It's unfortunate that trust is hard to come by, but when you put your faith in yourself, you can't blame anyone else when things go wrong.</p><p><br></p><p>Using your creative and critical thinking skills is an essential part of improving your life. Success begins with the ability to generate new ideas. Many possibilities are available to you in this world, but finding them requires you to dig deep into your own personal resources.</p><p><br></p><p>We all have those moments when we're a little uncomfortable. This is, in reality, a common occurrence. Do you have the courage to face your annoyances? You can be disoriented during an interview.

But have you been working smart? Self-study is hard because you’re studying for an exam that requires you to retain massive amounts of information. The key is to find the right balance between the right amount of time and the right level of effort. If you’re struggling to keep focused, you’re not alone. Many people have the same issues with self-study that you do, which is why we’re writing this blog post to help you understand what you can do to improve your study habits and pass the exam on the first try!<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><br><div><br><div></div><div><b><i>What are the most common distractions in self-study?
</i></b></div><div>Many people who study for competitive exams experience a lack of focus and difficulty staying focused on their studies. In many cases, these problems are caused by distractions that are easy to avoid. Here are some of the most common <a href="https://mindfulgurukul.com/">distractions</a> in self-study:
</div><div>- <b>Social Media</b>: If you spend all of your free time on social media, you’re likely to get distracted from your studies. Even though social media isn’t a direct source of distraction, it can still cause you to lose focus.
</div><div>- <b>Bad Habits</b>: Many people make the mistake of “copy-and-pasting” their study habits from the last exam into their current exam. If you’ve been studying for the past three years, this is probably not going to help you pass the exam now! If you’ve developed bad study habits, it’s time to get rid of them.
</div><div>- <b>Your Environment</b>: Your environment plays a huge role in your ability to stay focused. If your room resembles a library, you’re probably not going to be able to stay focused. You need to optimize your environment to help you stay focused on your studies.
</div><div><br></div><div><i><b>Why is distraction so hard to tackle in self-study?
</b></i></div><div>People who study for competitive exams tend to be very driven and ambitious people. This is a good quality to have, but it can also make it difficult for you to stay focused on your studies.
</div><div>If you’re constantly worried about your future, you’re not going to have the time or patience to study for a competitive exam. You need to foster a consistent routine that allows you to balance your studies with your life.
</div><div>Another common issue with self-study is that you don’t have a partner to help you study. If you study on your own, it can be hard to stay focused if you don’t have anyone to help you stay focused. Partners can help you brainstorm study plans and make sure you stay focused on your studies.
</div><div><br></div><div><i><b>Stay focused with these strategies
</b></i></div><div>There are several strategies you can use to stay focused during your study sessions. Here are some strategies you can use to stay focused during self-study:
</div><div>- <b>Make a Schedule</b>: Failing to make a schedule during your study sessions is one of the biggest errors that people make during self-study. Scheduling your study time is one of the best ways to stay focused during study sessions.
</div><div>- <b>Have a Studymode</b>: A studymode is a plan you use to study for a competitive exam. Your studymode can be created on any platform that allows you to create studies. Studymodes can help you organize your study time and stay focused.</div><div>- <b>Create an Environment That Supports Learning</b>: If your room looks like a library and your appliances sound like a library, you’re not going to be able to stay focused. You need to make your study environment as conducive to learning as possible.
</div><div><br></div><div><i><b>Take a break
</b></i></div><div>If you’re struggling with distractions, it might be time to take a break from self-study. As a matter of fact, you should take a break from studying for at least a couple of weeks before you sit for your competitive exam. If you’re feeling stressed out and you’re struggling to stay focused, a break is always a good idea.
</div><div>Studying for a competitive exam is stressful because it requires massive amounts of effort. If you’ve been studying for a competitive exam for 6 months straight, you need a break before you take the exam again.
</div><div>Taking a break from self-study will allow you to come back to your studies refreshed and ready to tackle your studies with a positive attitude.
</div><div><br></div><div><i><b>Summary
</b></i></div><div>Self-study can be very challenging and difficult. If you’re struggling to stay focused during your study time, you need to implement the following strategies:
</div><div>- Make a schedule to stay focused on your studies.
</div><div>- Create an environment that supports learning.
</div><div>- Take a break before taking your competitive exam.
</div><div>There are many things that can distract you from your studies, but the key is to identify them and find ways to avoid them. By staying focused, you’ll be able to pass the exam with flying colors.

It was a basic principle adopted by our ancient Indian ancestors. They referred to it as Langhanam Paramaushadhm, which means that fasting is the best remedy.</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div> Let's have a look at the evidence first. Cooked vegetables, grains, and other food items, such as rotis, bread, biscuits, and pasta, should be avoided during fasting. Including these foods would have rendered the health advantages of fasting null and void if they had been consumed while fasting.</div><div>First and foremost, Langhanam</div><div>During the first langhanam, one abstain from eating food. Even though our ancestors didn't think of the human body as an eating machine, a surprising number of people who live in seclusion are constantly snacking. If you continue to eat this way, your health will deteriorate and you will become more susceptible to illness. Rather than relying on your tongue to tell you when you're hungry, listen to your body. Cooking at home can get a rest as well.</div><div><br></div><div>Wait until your right nose is full of air before you consume anything. When you breathe via your right nostril, sun energy flows through your body, allowing you to digest your food the most effectively.</div><div>Fasting might be intermittent, water-only, or a soup-only fast. Remember that even animals go on a fast when they are sick or in need of a health boost.</div><div>Langhanam may also be eating healthily. Proteins are the building blocks of all immunoglobulins, which are antibodies used to combat disease. Taking in the correct quantity of protein in your diet will help boost your immune system.</div><div>Being able to reap the benefits of fasting</div><div><br></div><div>Fasting is a well-known method of maintaining a healthy physique. In addition to religious reasons, fasting is also used to maintain good health. People should fast in order to avoid illness. Let's take a look at some of the advantages of fasting.</div><div><br></div><div>It has been shown that fasting can help avoid a number of long-term health problems including arthritis, asthma and high blood pressure, as well as colitis and irritable bowel syndrome.</div><div><br></div><div>Obesity can be treated by fasting. Fasting is the best technique to reduce weight because it is safe and quickly effective. When it comes to your mental health, fasting is a good idea. For example, fasting improves hormones, kidneys, liver, cardiovascular system, red blood cells, and other vital bodily systems. When you fast, you feel lighter. However, during a fast, water and other liquids must be utilized more often. Constipation, gas, heartburn, bloating, headaches, and fevers can all be cured by fasting. Fasting increases the body's energy level by distributing it to all of its parts.</div><div>In the second Langhanam.</div><div><br></div><div>The second langhanam is a pause in breathing. Similarly, the more heat an engine produces, the more quickly it combusts. The intake of breath is the power source for every cell in your body. The ancient yogis fasted their breath. Slow inhalations and powerful exhalations with breath pauses were purposefully practiced. Slow aging is one of the benefits of breath-fasting practiced regularly. You begin to think more optimistically. Negative thoughts can be more easily shaken off your mind.</div><div>The third Langhanam is here</div><div><br></div><div>The third langhanam is abstaining from harsh and gloomy language. People with Vak-Shakti, or the power of speech, are few and few between. Your Vak-Shakti increases as you speak words that are true and bring happiness to others in a pleasant tone more often..</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Fasting is the ultimate langhanam. You don't have to be a couch potato and eat popcorn while watching television to have a good time. In order to practice fasting, you must sit still, either by noticing your breath or by listening to the sounds of nature or your divinity. Sit down!! Restlessness is reduced even if you can sit still for just one minute at a time.</div><div><br></div><div>Langhanam or fasting is a powerful tool. The more you practice these four langhanams, the more powerful you'll feel in your <a href="https://mindfulgurukul.com/">mind</a>, body, and consciousness overall.</div>Mindful Gurukulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10347306520999451632noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149793520519331844.post-37509975908823002432020-07-06T19:38:00.002+05:302022-04-22T20:38:25.211+05:30Things that Have an Impact on a Student's Academic Success<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

A course or class's objectives might be stated by the instructor at the start of the semester or the class.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace;"><br></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace;"><br></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace;"><br></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace;">Personality and Behaviour of Teachers</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace;"><br></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace;">The way a student feels about their teacher, whether it's fear or dislike, can have an impact on how they approach the subject as a whole. Students' motivation in school can be lowered if a teacher shows a preference for some students or uses disparaging and degrading language.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace;"><br></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace;">The opposite is also true: pupils' desire to learn can be increased by the use of kindness, optimism, positive comments, and encouragement.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace;"><br></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace;"><br></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace;"><br></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace;">3.

As a result of this, students are less likely to become bored. Providing the option of working with a certain partner might also be advantageous.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace;"><br></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace;">Different learning styles are common amongst the students in a particular class. In order to better fulfil the needs of their students, a teacher should use several teaching strategies.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace;"><br></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace;"><br></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace;"><br></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace;">4) Parental Behaviors and Involvement</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace;"><br></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace;">The intrinsic motivation of children can be influenced by a variety of parenting behaviours.

Reading aloud to and with young children accelerates their progress toward literacy. However, a student's later academic achievement can be determined by their reading comprehension ability.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace;"><br></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace;"><br></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace;"><br></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace;">5.

In places like Finland, primary school students do not take any tests. Despite the absence of testing, Finnish children are more successful academically.</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-outline-level: 3;"><span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace;"><b>In addition, it is normal for pupils to lose interest if assessments are excessively difficult. This does not provide students a sense of accomplishment and eventually diminishes their drive in school. As a result, instructors must experiment with and use a variety of assessment approaches that can accommodate students' varying learning styles. It is necessary to achieve the concept of flow, in which the student is sufficiently pushed but does not find it too difficult or easy. These pupils have shown the most improvement.</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-outline-level: 3;"><span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace;"><b><br></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-outline-level: 3;"><span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace;"><b><br></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-outline-level: 3;"><span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace;"><b><br></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-outline-level: 3;"><span style="font-family: courier new, courier, monospace;"><b>Distractions are becoming more widespread in today's children, thus a positive feedback and incentive is essential to overcome them.

The US military's VUCA training is a good illustration of how training may help people cope with uncertainty.

</div><br></b></div><div><br></div><div><div>Recognizing and managing your stress</div><div>It's a horrible period. A global pandemic has struck, and towns and countries alike have been forced to close their doors. Some of us live in locations where coronavirus has already spread. Others are preparing themselves for the worst. And we're all keeping tabs on the news and wondering, "What's next?"</div><div>Many people find the ambiguity around coronavirus to be the most difficult to deal with. We have no idea how awful things will get or how much of an impact they will have on us. Catastrophizing and spiralling into a state of dread and terror is all too simple because of this. Even in the face of this unprecedented catastrophe, there are numerous things you can do to manage your anxiety and panic.</div><div><br></div><div>Stay up to date, but don't constantly scan the headlines every day.</div><div><br></div><div>Make sure you know what's going on around you so that you can take the appropriate safety precautions and help to halt the spread of coronavirus. However, there is a lot of misinformation and sensationalistic media that simply serves to stoke the fires of irrationality. When it comes to what you read and see, you need to be careful.</div><div><br></div><div>• Only rely on reputable sources and your local health department.</div><div><br></div><div>Check for updates only once every several hours. Anxiety can be exacerbated rather than alleviated by constant monitoring of news and social media feeds. Keep an eye on how you're feeling, because everyone's threshold is unique.</div><div><br></div><div>In the event that you feel overwhelmed, take a break from the media. You may want to limit your media consumption to a set time period and/or a specific time of day if you are experiencing anxiety (e.g. thirty minutes each evening at 6 pm).</div><div><br></div><div>Ask a trusted friend or family member to pass along crucial information. A trusted friend or family member can pass along important news to you if you prefer to shun the media.</div><div><br></div><div>Keep your personal information private. Check facts before passing them on to others. We must all do our part to prevent the spread of rumours and the instigation of unwarranted fear.</div><div><br></div><div>Don't worry about what you can't change.</div><div><br></div><div>We're living through a period of enormous change. We have no idea how long the pandemic will endure, how other people will act, or what will happen in our neighbourhoods. A difficult thing to accept, and many of us respond by exploring the Internet for answers and contemplating all of the possible outcomes.. To put it another way, this method won't help us if we're focusing on questions with unknown solutions and conditions that are beyond our control.</div><div><br></div><div>When you start to worry about the future, try to focus on the things you can control. There is no way for you to influence how serious the coronavirus outbreak in your city or town will be. However, you can take efforts to lower your own personal risk (and the danger that you'll unintentionally spread it to others), such as:</div><div><br></div><div>At least 20 seconds of hand washing with soap and water or a hand sanitizer that includes at least 60% alcohol should be performed at least once a day.</div><div><br></div><div>• refraining from rubbing your face (particularly your eyes, nose, and mouth).</div><div><br></div><div>• even if you don't feel sick, stay at home as much as possible.</div><div><br></div><div>• avoiding large groups of more than ten people.</div><div><br></div><div>Shopping and travel should be avoided at all costs.</div><div><br></div><div>keeping at least six feet between oneself and other people while out and about is recommended.</div><div><br></div><div>sleeping well, which aids in the maintenance of your immune system.</div><div><br></div><div>• according to all health authority guidelines.</div><div><br></div><div>Plan for what you can do</div><div><br></div><div>As a parent, it's understandable to worry about what might happen if you lose your job, your children are unable to go to school, or you or someone you care about becomes ill. As frightening as these possibilities may be to contemplate, acting proactive can alleviate some of the stress.</div><div><br></div><div>In order to better understand how the coronavirus may affect your life, write down particular concerns you have. Take a break if you start to feel overwhelmed.</div><div><br></div><div>Think of all the possible answers you can come up with and write them down. Let go of your desire for "perfect" solutions. Include whatever you can think of that might assist you get through the day.</div><div><br></div><div>Rather than focusing on things that are beyond of your control, focus on what you can do to improve the situation.</div><div><br></div><div>Draw out a plan of action after you've weighed all of your possibilities. Afterward, put it away and resist the temptation to return to it unless your situation drastically changes.</div><div><br></div><div>Keep in touch, even if you're far away from others.</div><div><br></div><div>Coronavirus can be transmitted even if the infected person does not display any signs of illness, according to research. That's why social distancing is the most important thing most people can do right now to make a good impact.</div><div><br></div><div>Distancing yourself from your friends and family can have its drawbacks. Biologically, we are social beings. To connect with others, we're born with a predisposition towards it. Depression and anxiety are exacerbated by feelings of isolation and loneliness. Keeping in touch and reaching out for help is essential, even if we are cutting back on face-to-face interaction.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Keeping in touch with loved ones is essential. Think considering scheduling regular phone, chat, or Skype dates to combat your tendency to withdraw when sad or stressed.</div><div><br></div><div>If you can't meet face-to-face, try video conferencing instead. This "vitamin" for your mental health reduces your risk of depression and alleviates stress and anxiety through face-to-face contact.</div><div><br></div><div>If you're looking for a way to interact with people in your life and the world, social networking is a terrific option. It serves as a gentle reminder that we are not alone.</div><div><br></div><div>Be aware of how social media affects your mood. Never be afraid to mute remarks or individuals who make you feel anxious. And if it's making you feel worse, log out of the site.</div><div><br></div><div>Keep coronavirus out of the conversation at all times. Relaxation from worrying about the pandemic is essential; laughing, sharing tales, and focusing on other aspects of our lives are good ways to do this.</div><div><br></div><div>Be careful who you confide in when you're in need of emotional assistance because emotions are contagious.</div><div><br></div><div>Every one of us is going to require some kind of support or encouragement throughout this difficult period. In choosing a sounding board, be careful. It's not just the coronavirus that can spread. Emotions, too! Avoid discussing about the virus with persons who are pessimistic or who amplify your anxiety. Make the most of the people in your life who are both empathetic and logical in their thinking.</div><div><br></div><div>Take good care of yourself on all levels.</div><div><br></div><div>The tried-and-true methods of stress management, such as eating well, sleeping well, and meditating, nevertheless hold true in these hard times. In addition, here are some self-care strategies for dealing with the coronavirus' specific interruptions.</div><div><br></div><div>It's important to treat yourself with compassion. If you're feeling more depressed or anxious than normal, don't be too hard on yourself. You're not the only one who's going through the same things you are.</div><div><br></div><div>As much as possible, stick to a schedule. In the event that you're stranded in your own home, it is best to maintain a normal sleep, schooling, meal, or work schedule. A sense of normalcy will be restored.</div><div><br></div><div>It's important to take time out to do things you love. Whether it's a novel, a comedy, a board game, a craft, or a piece of art, there's something for everyone. Regardless of what you do, it doesn't matter as long as it helps you get your mind off of your concerns.</div><div><br></div><div>If you can, get out into nature. Getting some sunshine and fresh air will be beneficial. Even a short stroll around the block can lift your spirits. Avoid crowds, keep your distance from strangers, and abide by local rules and regulations.</div><div><br></div><div>• Find a way to get some physical activity in. Anxiety, tension, and depression can all be alleviated by engaging in physical activity. While the gym and group programmes are closed, you can still go cycling, hiking, or jogging on your own. Alternatively, if you're confined to your house, you can find workout videos to follow online. If you don't have any equipment, you can still do yoga and exercises that use your own weight.</div><div><br></div><div>Keep away from self-medication. If you're struggling with anxiety or depression, don't turn to alcohol and other substances to ease your symptoms. Avoid if you're prone to overdoing things even when things are going well.</div><div><br></div><div>Get into the habit of meditating. Restoring your neurological system's equilibrium is possible through the use of relaxation practises including deep breathing, meditation, and yoga. The best results come from consistent practise, so try to carve out some time each day to dedicate to it.</div><div><br></div><div>Help others out (it will make you feel better)</div><div><br></div><div>It's easy to get caught up in your own anxieties and worries during moments like this. It's vital to take a breath and remember that we're all in this together, despite the reports of people fighting over toilet paper or line up outside gun stores. "We're standing far apart now so that we might embrace each other afterwards," an Italian saying goes.</div><div><br></div><div>In times of crisis, those who focus on helping others and supporting their communities are more likely to be happy and healthy than those who focus on themselves. Donating your time and energy to others can have a positive impact on your neighbourhood, your state of mind, and even the rest of the globe. This pandemic is causing a lot of people to feel helpless. Being nice and helpful to others can give you a feeling of purpose and meaning in your life, and help you reclaim control over your circumstances.</div><div><br></div><div>Even if you choose to isolate yourself or keep a social distance from others, you can still do a lot to aid them.</div><div><br></div><div>Follow precautionary measures to keep the illness from spreading. You may help save the lives of those in your community who are most vulnerable by staying at home, washing your hands frequently, and avoiding direct contact with others.</div><div><br></div><div>Don't hesitate to help those in need. If you know elderly or disabled persons in your neighbourhood who are isolated, you can still help them. Helping an elderly neighbour with their shopping or filling a prescription could be an excellent idea. Packages can be dropped off at their door to prevent any direct interaction with them. It's possible that they just need a kind voice to talk to on the phone. It is possible to connect with the most vulnerable members in your community through a variety of local social media groups.</div><div><br></div><div>Make a donation to a food bank. In addition to depleting grocery store shelves, panic purchasing and hoarding have limited supply at food banks. Giving food or money to those in need is an excellent way to make a difference in the lives of seniors, low-income families, and anybody else.</div><div><br></div><div>Assist in reducing tension. Help those you care about who are in a state of fear by providing a sense of perspective. Refer them to credible news sources instead of spreading fear or giving attention to unfounded claims. Even when you're dealing with your own anxiety, being a supportive and uplifted presence in the lives of others can lift your own spirits.</div><div><br></div><div>Be considerate of others' feelings. Speak up if you hear unfavourable stereotypes that just encourage prejudice about infectious diseases because they are not linked to any racial or ethnic group. We all have the power to spread love and charity even quicker than the virus does if we have the appropriate mindset and intentions.</div></div>Mindful Gurukulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10347306520999451632noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149793520519331844.post-88379762420038440662019-04-09T21:32:00.001+05:302022-04-22T20:43:25.843+05:30Why is children's behaviour worse than it has ever been, and can we improve it?<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<span style="color: #191919; font-family: "georgia" , "serif";">Raising children is a joy, except when it’s absolutely
maddening. And it may be more frustrating today than it’s ever been is told by
most parents in today’s modern India.</span> <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="c-article-bodytext">
<span style="color: #191919; font-family: "georgia" , "serif";">Is there an epidemic of misbehaviour? Are kids really worse now
than they used to be?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="c-article-bodytext">
<span style="color: #191919; font-family: "georgia" , "serif";">Kids are definitely worse now than they have been. It’s
impossible to prove 100 per cent why this is the case, but I think there is
very compelling evidence. There’s three factors that really align with the
timing of the change in kids. The dramatic decline in play in children today
compared with a generation or two ago. Kids are pretty much constantly
supervised from the time they are born until they’re maybe 18 when they leave
home, so they never learn to manage their own behaviour. The second big factor
is media and the growth of so much media that’s bombarding us with information
and ideas about who we should be and what we should want. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="c-article-bodytext">
<span style="color: #191919; font-family: "georgia" , "serif";">Forty years ago kids figured out who they should be and what
they should want, mostly by thinking about themselves. We’ve seen clinical
research that this external <a href="https://mindfulgurukul.com/">focus</a> is associated with anxiety and depression.
The third big factor is just the decline in our communities and connection in
our families. Maybe a generation ago a child would be in charge of a younger
sibling, or they would have had a job of putting dinner on the table, and now
their job is to get straight A’s and be a super star.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="c-article-bodytext">
<span style="color: #191919; font-family: "georgia" , "serif";">Why are chores linked to a kid’s happiness?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="c-article-bodytext">
<span style="color: #191919; font-family: "georgia" , "serif";">Household chores are one of the biggest links to happiness
because when you do a chore you immediately see how your family benefits, or
you benefit or your home is neater, and you get that immediate feedback and
positive reinforcement.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="c-article-bodytext">
<span style="color: #191919; font-family: "georgia" , "serif";">Do you think parents are too controlling these days?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="c-article-bodytext">
<span style="color: #191919; font-family: "georgia" , "serif";">We have this impulse to make our kids do things as if that is
our job. Actually, our job is to help them figure out how to control
themselves. When we are controlling or critical it doesn’t teach our children
anything. The more that children have independence, the less they fight with
you, because they feel empowered.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="c-article-bodytext">
<span style="color: #191919; font-family: "georgia" , "serif";">Describe what you call the apprenticeship model of parenting?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="c-article-bodytext">
<span style="color: #191919; font-family: "georgia" , "serif";">The first and most important element is connection with the
child. Without that connection, nothing can happen – no discipline, or learning
or co-operation will happen. The second is communicating with the child about
what is going on with what you’re willing to do and what they’re willing to do,
and where you can compromise. The third is capability building, and I think
that’s the one that parents are not as focused on. The more you and your child
both can recognize and acknowledge the growth in their skills – maybe two
months ago your kid was always leaving their backpack and having to run back in
for it and now they’ve started to remember it – the more you can help your
child recognize they are growing. Eventually that little person will become
self-sufficient and independent.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="c-article-bodytext">
<span style="color: #191919; font-family: "georgia" , "serif";">Why is harsh verbal discipline is so counterproductive?</span><span style="color: #595959; text-transform: uppercase;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="c-article-bodytext">
<span style="color: #191919; font-family: "georgia" , "serif";">The problem is that we as parents are the source of
self-regulation for our children. They don’t yet have all of the ability to
manage their executive function and to manage their emotions. So we, just by
our presence, our physical touch and our own calm physiology, help them to
self-regulate. If we’re calm, they will be, too. If we’re yelling, they’ll be
agitated and in that fight or flight stage.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="c-article-bodytext">
<span style="color: #191919; font-family: "georgia" , "serif";">But we’re all going to yell at our kids once and a while, aren’t
we?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="c-article-bodytext">
<span style="color: #191919; font-family: "georgia" , "serif";">None of us is perfect. When I yell at my kids in the heat of the
moment I try as quickly as possible to say, “I’m really sorry, I lost my
temper.” And if next time you can catch yourself before you yell and say out
loud, “I feel that I am about to yell. I am going to go outside and just go
around the block until I cool down,” that’s giving your child another strategy
of how to calm down and how to help them manage their strong feelings.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing"><div class="MsoNoSpacing">They were nothing if they weren't well-educated and sophisticated enough to bring down corporations like Enron, Global Crossing, and WorldCom. However, one can't help but wonder whether there was something fundamentally missing from the education they received. Even today's terrorist is far removed from the cliché of an ignorant peasant who joins an organisation because he or she has nothing else to do and does not take any responsibility for his or her actions. Terrorists who are operating in our shadows are, on the other hand, well-educated and well-educated people from all over the world. As soon as something goes awry, they rely only on their brains to figure out a way to fix it. It's becoming increasingly clear that their schooling was fundamentally flawed.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">How do I know what it is? In my opinion, the problem is that most of the time, we teach students to be smart and knowledgeable, but not how to put those skills to good use. Instead of <u><a href="https://mindfulgurukul.com/">focusing</a></u> solely on memorization of facts and a cursory degree of analysis, schools should be educating students for wisdom.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">If you want to learn wisdom, you need to understand that it isn't just about what you know but how you apply what you know. They are preparing students for the "fourth R," which the Bush administration recently referred to as "responsibility." There are four common misconceptions that smart but dumb and irresponsible people, including some who have or have run significant corporations in our country, demonstrate.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Egocentrism</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">When people think the world revolves around them, they fall prey to the egocentric fallacy. As the egomaniacs' requirements alter, other individuals are seen as merely tools to be utilised and then discarded. So why do intelligent individuals have such narrow perspectives? People who have traditionally been regarded as intelligent tend to become so focused on themselves that they lose sight of the wants and needs of those around them.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Omniscience</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">A person must have the ability to discern what he or she knows and doesn't know at any given moment, as well as what can and cannot be known. Because of this, the second fallacy is all too common, even among the brightest among us.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">The illusion of omniscience arises when people begin to believe that they are not only experts in the fields in which they have studied, but also that they are well-versed in virtually every subject under the sun. As a result, people are vulnerable to making disastrous decisions on the basis of insufficient information that they are unaware of.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Omnipotence</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">The erroneous belief that omniscience equates to omnipotence is the root of the omnipotence fallacy. People in positions of authority may begin to believe that they are invincible. Furthermore, they disregard the age-old adage that power corrupts, but only absolute power corrupts completely. Due to the fourth fallacy, people do not consider the possible implications of their acts.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Invulnerability</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">The myth of invulnerability is based on the erroneous belief that one can do anything one wants if one is all-knowing and all-powerful. And they can get away with anything because they are all-knowing. The likelihood is that they'll be unnoticed. In the event that they are found, however, they believe they will be able to avoid punishment since they are smarter than those who have caught up to them.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Is it possible for clever people to avoid making the same kinds of mistakes that ignorant people do?</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Wisdom, according to me, is the ability to use one's intellect and experience to benefit the greater good. A delicate balancing act is required to reach this goal.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">internal (to oneself),</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">relating to one's fellow human beings</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Over the medium and long run, extrapersonal (i.e., non-personal, such as institutional) interests</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">This means that sensible people are concerned not only for themselves, but also for everyone else to whom they owe any sort of duty.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">The implication of this viewpoint is that intelligence alone is insufficient. It's critical to have a level of wisdom as well.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Schools should seriously explore including wisdom-related abilities into their curriculum for a number of reasons.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Knowledge alone is not enough for wisdom, and it surely does not ensure happiness, contentment, or a desire to behave in a way that goes beyond one's own benefit. Wisdom appears to be a more effective means of achieving these objectives.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Wisdom also allows us to incorporate thoughtful and deliberative ideals into our crucial decisions. If you want to be wise, you cannot be impetuous, mindless, or immoral.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Third, wisdom is a path to a better, more peaceful world.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Hitler, Stalin, and others may have had some information. For their own self-interest, they may have been excellent critical thinkers. They were foolish.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Finally, students, who will go on to be parents and leaders, are always a part of a broader society. This is why it's important that they learn the art of judging righteously on behalf of their community.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Instability does not exist in a vacuum if the future is marred by war and upheaval. We are the source and repository of it all. It's for all of these reasons that students need to think critically (and even creatively) about the material they're learning as well as think carefully about their studies in general.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Any subject matter can be used to teach wisdom.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">As a result, students develop the ability to think critically and to see things from a variety of perspectives, both past and present. For example, a "settler" may be referred to as a "invader" by another group. One group may refer to "Manifest Destiny" as "land theft," while another group may refer to it as "land grab." Peace or at least avoidance of war is largely dependent on students' ability to grasp how other nations and cultures see issues and their solutions differently from our own. However, the ultimate objective should not be acceptance of these other viewpoints or even a compromise, but rather an understanding that solving difficult life situations demands a mutual desire for understanding and the pursuit of solutions that everyone involved can embrace. The results of our own studies show that pupils who are taught to think wisely outperform those in a control group who learn history in a more traditional manner.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">The road to wisdom teaching is a bumpy one:</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">To begin with, it's tough to modify established educational frameworks. Schools don't teach wisdom. In most cases, it isn't even talked about.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">As a second point, many people will not see the utility in teaching anything that does not have as its primary aim the increasing of standard exam scores. No matter how you slice it, teaching to the exam is not the fundamental aim of education.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Because knowledge takes time to cultivate, it is not as easily measured as other types of achievement, such as "Which city is the capital of France?"</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">For those who have earned power and influence in society by a single means—money, high test scores, parental influence, or whatever—are unlikely to want that power or a new criterion developed on which they do not rate as highly. As a result, there is no shortcut to wisdom or wisdom education. There was never, and probably never will be, another time.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Our world may be one that is constantly striving to improve itself and the lives of everyone in it, thanks to wisdom. When it comes to the future of our country, we have a choice. Is there anything in particular that we hope to accomplish through our education? Is it simply a matter of education? No, I don't think that's it. Perhaps it's also a form of wisdom? If we want our pupils to learn wisdom, we need to put them on a very different path. It's important to value not only how they maximise their own achievements, but also how they enhance the achievements of others as well, by using their exceptional qualities.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">We must, in a nutshell, regard wisdom as a valuable commodity. Our actions are just as essential as our thoughts when it comes to becoming wise. The influence of a wise India will be far greater than that of a well-informed one.</div></div></div>
