    Don’t let anyone else define the person you are

    Exactly an year ago I launched my Blog sharannya.com and I never knew that it will  reach so many of you guys. To tell you guys the truth, I did English Literature for A/L’s as a subject. Well I wasn’t good at it because unlike some other students in my class I didn’t do it for my O/L’s. There were a few students who were new to the particular subject just like I was.  School wanted me to  drop out from the subject saying that they can’t take responsibility if I fail, some girls did leave lit for another subject…

    Do This For You

    There are times that I feel like I can\’t get to the goals I want, even when all my boxes are ticked .You might not even think about your body when you give it less attention and when you not give the proper care it needs. Whatever the situation your stuck in, self-love is important and it isn\’t selfish to take care of yourself. I never thought of this but I recently started to appreciate myself for me. I even starting taking breaks from my work even when I had a deadline to submit on the same day. Most importantly…

    How to organise yourself to practice Self-Love

    Write your long-term and short-term goals separately – for example, a long term goal would be to save money for a house of your own and a short term goal would be to get good grades at the the upcoming exam. Get a to-do list for the day, week and month. Journal your day to day work. Spend less time on social media and more time on creating great content that inspires yourself and others.

    Why do you need to check Social Media every second?

    The compulsive urge to check social media every second could be a sign of an addiction. It is shown that social media addicts show brain patterns similar to drug addicts. However, unlike those of drug addicts, the part of the brain that is responsible for inhibiting such self-destructive behaviour seems to be functional among social media addicts. Which means getting out of such an addiction could be easier. Nir Eyal in his book “Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products” describes four elements in social media sites that glue people into them. The first is a trigger. Initially, the trigger is…

    You are the best project you will ever work on !

    Building a life that you can be proud of is not easy, as is it always easy to try to help others and solve their problems. Helping, loving ourselves is lot harder than we think. Feeding your body with health and tasty food, working out, educating your selves with resourceful information and surrounding yourself with good people is something that we should try working with. It requires immense discipline to do all those – to love ourselves. It would not be wrong if I say, self discipline is synonym for self love! To look at another person and to try…

    Why goals are overrated?

    Anybody can have goals. However, what sets winners apart from losers is not goals. It is the process. What winners do differently is that they create a system and adhere to it. Sure, having goals is fun, but setting them alone won\’t get you anywhere. You need to create a system to achieve those goals and should be able to consistently follow it. If you don’t adhere to that system, the results won\’t show as well. For example, let’s say you need to loose 10 KG, simply having the goal and telling yourself that you are going to loose 10…

    How sleep affects Mental Health

    Just like eating and breathing, sleep is one of the main elements that our bodies need in order to have a positive impact on mental health. Sleeping gives our bodies time heal and to repair while letting our brains synthesise out memories and process information. Scientists have discovered that not sleeping enough affects brain and stress hormones. It disturbs thinking and emotional balance. Because of this, insomnia which is the inability to fall asleep worsens mental disorders. More than 400 years ago, William Shakespeare described the gift of sleep and the distress of insomnia: O sleep! O gentle sleep!Nature’s soft…
