    Driving away Stress

    In the modern fast paced world anxiety, depression and stress are common byproducts. This is a blog post where I would like to discuss this topic to serve as a motivation to destress.

    Whenever we feel stressed up, a very good tip is to take a walk to engage the motor cortex of our brain to reduce the amount of electrical activity in the prefrontal cortex as mentioned below.

    The best medicine to cure the hyperactivity that happens in our brain during such a moment is to face the reality and act. This removes unwarranted fears as mentioned by Susan Cain in her book Quiet.

    Finally take note of this piece of motivational advice from Seth Godin in his book Dip. When acted upon properly this would eliminate regret in the long term by managing stressful situations at the present moment.

  • Why should you BLOG?

    Why should you BLOG?

    The importance of blogging regularly

    Have you ever wondered, why should you blog? In this post I will take a cue from Seth Godin’s take on the same topic and highlight why you should do it regularly.

    Seth Godin encourages readers to ship out content regularly. According to him blogging and hence shipping our content regularly helps us overcome the resistance of the limbic brain.

    This would silence self doubt and encourage us to become gritty via deliberate practice.

    Once we break the shackles and ship regularly, we would continually improve and eventually reach a state of flow.

    Our purpose of enlightening the world via the content of blogs will eventually become real.

    As mentioned by Seth Godin:

    The best thing I have realized is focusing on the present moment since this is the only thing which we can control.
