Mindset 👊

Mindset plays an important role in framing our character and outlook on life. We can be termed as a pessimist and optimist based on the way we approach at things. Now let me give an example. Yesterday I took a mock test for an exam which comes 4.5 months later but the scores dejected me. I started thinking I can't crack the actual exam. I wasn't able to solve most of the questions and became scared looking at the timer that kept going. Here's the thing. I already accepted I am going to fail and decided to give up which I feel now as a losers decision. 

There are two mindsets basically for humans based on a book. It's the fixed mindset and the growth mindset. 

Fixed Mindset
It means thinking you are born a certain way and your environment and family background won't support certain things therefore you can't do it. Eg: Blaming your families riches or education background because you can't do certain thing. Though these things influence upto certain level it is us who can take a step to find solutions to these problems. Maybe sit down and explain your family that you want to do that thing. Nothing comes easy in life.

Growth Mindset
Believing I can do what I want to do can be done if I decide on moving the coins correctly. When you believe you can do something you're halfway there.

There's a slight difference between a growth mindset and doing things that you don't enjoy. 
Example: When I was in clg I believed I can't code because I just can't do it, which is a fixed mindset. But out of clg when I tried coding and preparing for similar exams I realised I don't enjoy it much or see the fun in it than the other things I decided on doing. Well now this is different. I can compromise here and go ahead with coding by putting in hardworking and practicing but here it becomes a personal choice. So let's keep growth mindset and work hard to achieve our goals. Hope my post gives a pinch of boost on our lazy lacklustre minds.

Clothing lessons I learnt💃

Growing up my parents used to buy clothing only 3-4 times a year mainly during festive seasons or sometimes when they needed any piece of clothing. They dint have television nor internet so they as consumers had the freedom to decide and mindfully buy the stuff they need only when they need it unlike our generation. Here we turn our tv on or any social media platform it bombards us with lot of products which dint exist in the previous era and we are tricked into believe that these are essentials. There is some sale or offer going on every other day on the online shopping platforms. We have piled up our closets with skin care, hair care products, slippers, clothes, bags, home essentials etc.. Im also guilty of piling my closet up. So here are the clothing lessons I learnt:  1. Don't buy a new skin care or hair care product unless the previous one is over. 2. Invest in quality over quantity. Im not that kind of person who looks into brands while I purchase stuff. If something feels...

Stop overthinking and Do it

Hello Everyone. We always wanted to grow up and become adults while we were kids but now everyday we wish we were back to being kids once again enjoying the simple life except preparing for exams and the homework;). The best part about being a kid is the energy each one of us spread literally lighting up the room as soon as we enter. We used to bring smile on everyone’s face.   Hopping around everywhere, sometimes falling down is also okay because I fell from the first floor of my grandma’s home when I tried to pick fruits from a tree. Don’t panic I survived :P. I know that was dangerous but it was a learning process which helped me calculate the distance of the tree next time. Somewhere as we grew older we tend to loose the amazing energy and courage we had as kids and are often thinking about others opinions about us and on the work we do.   We are scared and are often a pessimist even before starting the things we want to do.  So whatever you want to do just start and ...

Importance of having your own space

This is a taboo topic in India. I stayed with my parents till 12th grade. Then I moved to college for the next 4 years. Even while I was in college I wasn't practically alone because I had room mates and the same thing happened after I joined work as I stayed in working women's hostel. Then covid happened and I got married during covid and moved to his parents place. Our own space there was our room. Then 10 months later we shifted to Bangalore for study and work reasons and it was the first time in my life that I got an entire space to myself. My husband got his own space inside his college (A single room). While I stayed with my parents my job was to just take care of myself, eat and study. When I moved to hostel I had to tackle my laundry as well. Same happened in working women's hostel but extra responsibility was to pay my rent, tackle my finances and travel. Cooking became an extra part of our schedules wherein we make dishes occasionally. Each and every step of this ...
