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.

I switched my work organization😉

First of all thank you for coming here to read my blogs. I haven't posted for a long time now and believe I will be more consistent going forward.  I joined a new organization 2 days back and it feels like the best decision I have taken in a while. I believe we must all keep looking for growth in all aspects of life. Be it career or health or emotional growth. Sometimes you get stuck in a loop of doing things and no matter how much you work hard you are never appreciated or more problems arise. A similar situation happened to me in life where I felt no amount of work is getting me out of this loop.  I had some really crappy work surrounded by tough people to handle. When I decided to switch my job for monetary and other reasons it was very hard to get any interview calls.  The key here is to keep believing. I never believed because market is bad and stuff but my husband kept constantly applying to jobs on my behalf. I had some mental breakdowns due to the work wherein I h...

Dealing with Anger😈

Being angry is something that I do most of the time especially on my family because I never react at work or anywhere else as much as I feel free to do it at home. The main victim of my anger is my younger sister. It’s also true that she irritates me most of the time but she is kind of curious of things I do and tries to lookout to me to help her and I just scream and send her away. We also tend to do it with our mom’s more frequently. She asks us if we had lunch or dinner and we end up screaming at her asking her not to disturb because we are too busy in something which might not be that important than eating on time. Always think for a minute before you scream or be rude to someone because it’s not their fault to come and talk to you so that you show your frustration on them. Relax and enjoy things while doing them because having a cool mind gets the best out of you in any situation rather than a panicking person.

Read this if you feel sick and unwell all the time..

  This post is just to change your narrative on health if you have been feeling sick or being called a sick person all the time. I would like to explain this using my life story. I have been the most adventure loving fun person I know throughout my life but I stopped believing this narrative and started feeling sick and lazy and it all started during the onset of covid. If you would have known me before this phase you would have rarely seen me sick. I would have cried a few times because of teen life crisis but it had nothing to do with my health. Even on family trips to hills I have never felt nauseated. During the 8 months of being a fresher I had lot of freedom and money to buy and eat things I want and there were times I used to eat 2 small size pizzas around 10:30 pm. It dint do anything to me but the results showed up during locked down where I gained around 8 kgs. I had work for the entire day during this fresher phase and my onset of frequent headaches started. This is when...
