The Queen Of Silly Mistakes :)

Image
   Hey everyone! Welcome back to month 15 of #faltufriday! For today's post I thought, why not write about something that more or less DEFINES me? If you're my pedagogue reading this, you have to agree that 90% of my papers are full of this 🤷🏻‍♀️  " The Queen of Silly Mistakes " is a title my mom had given me in 5th grade.  Nearly every single paper I've written till date and not scored full in, I have lost due to the most foolish mistakes ever! One instance was when I almost scored full in a math exam, but lost it as I wrote two numbers closely and ended up copying the wrong answer in my final statement🤦‍♀️ Another time I lost marks was when I ended up writing 9 instead of 19 and when I wrote a wrong unit for 3 questions and lost 2 marks 👍😃 These are just a few! Anyone going through my papers will just be straight up appalled. It's really embarrassing when you know the answer but end up losing it due to the absolute silliest of errors. Not to forget how

Journaling

Hey everyone, Welcome back! Should we incorporate journaling into our daily lives? This was a question I had asked myself when I had initially started journaling . I'm sure we are all familiar with the term 'journaling'. We may have even tried it out for a while but failed to keep up with it after a couple of days(I did too). For me the main reason was that I tried doing this daily and made it a "task" rather than an easing mechanism. About a year after giving up on journaling I finally decided to take it up again to help with my anxiety. To my surprise-IT WORKS! Penning down your thoughts helps. So, I thought why not share it's importance in our lives through a post :) When we think of the term journaling the first thought or rather picture that comes to our minds look something like this or something that you saw above:  Something really aesthetic and good looking which makes it perfect for an Instagram post. Loads of colours, highlighters, pictures and wha

Burn Out

 Burn out. Something that has become really very common in today's times among everyone-be it kids, teens or adults. In today's post, I'll mainly be focussing on it from a teen's perspective. In all honestly, I'll admit the source of inspiration for this post was through a podcast episode which I'll linking below :D But before I get to that let us first understand, What exactly is Burn Out? When you google this term, the first answer you'll get this definition: Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress. Though this is pretty self explanatory, it does not convey the entire meaning of the term 'Burn Out'.  Burnout can take distinctive forms, affecting someone physically, emotionally, and behaviourally. Burnout can consist of physical and mental symptoms such as frequent illness, disengagement and detachment along with blunted effect of feelings of frustration, helplessness, and hopelessne

World Mental Health Day!

 Hey everyone! Welcome back!! Aaj ka post is a little different.  Why? BECAUSE ITS A COLLABORATIVE ONE!! Recently, I had collaborated with a youth organisation known as @theworldunheard on their Instagram platform! Today's post is based mainly on what I did during the week and the importance of the activities :) Without further ado, let's get to it! 'Our world unheard'  is a youth led social media activism platform that discusses social, political and environmental issues that don’t receive the media coverage that they deserve. Dedicated to raising awareness about issues like feminism, the LGBTQ community, political crisis and laws, and so much more, they share awareness in the form of posts and stories every day. It was started in May of 2020, and has grown to 2 teams, with a total of 16 members working on creating content and raising awareness.  Social media has become a platform for education and information in this digital age, especially for younger audience, and

"Facebook Therapy Memes"

  A lot of us may have come across this template also known as 'Facebook memes' on our social media feeds-I did too. It really annoyed me because a lot of people neglect the need to go to actual therapy and seem to 'recover' by looking at such memes. Not to mention, many at times these posts are accompanied with captions impeding therapy and calling it a 'scam'. I took an online poll via my Instagram account and the response was analogous. There were people pro to such kind of memes and on the other hand people who were not so much. It really helped me look at this topic from both the point of views and wanted to discuss whether this is actually a good thing or not which is why I chose to write a post on it. Let's get to it! Out of 100 people voting, the number was an exact 50-50 tie. I also had plenty of people expressing their point of views for their choice in my dm's.  Although a lot of people said was that it was a "coping mechanism" and a
