Daily Positivity

Mornings or rush hours are associated with stress and anxiety. We hardly have time to even think and plan for the day ahead. How many people stop and admire these beautiful mornings? It hardly ever happens. When the alarm goes off, we all begin to get ready and rush to get out of the house. But we end up feeling tired and experience something called an afternoon slump. And when we feel that we ultimately consume an excessive amount of caffeine. Right? Is there a way to avoid that? Yes, to some extent. But how? We all have places to go, not to mention, in time. Nevertheless, there is some power to the morning routine that will come to your rescue and help you break free from anxiety, stress, and excess caffeine consumption.  I was never a morning person, and I still try extremely hard to wake up early in the morning. But realistically waking up at 5 just to meditate and take cold showers is very hard. Many popular morning routines suggest waking up early to exercise, meditate, and refle

   I am strong, confident, and happy.

  A few months ago… I was someone who used to be scared of food. Looking at social media blogs about food, I was convinced that even a single morsel of food, is going to damage my body. Hence, as a result, I refrained from eating and experienced an unhealthy weight loss. These fad diets really convince you to eat right. But what exactly does that mean? As a victim of these fad diets, I would like to share a couple of points regarding food. Now, this blog is not convincing you to not follow the diets, instead this blog is written from my personal experience. By no means, I want to influence your relationship with food. This is intended to share my experiences and what I learned from them. I am no expert on this topic.  The most important point is that please do not be scared of food. It is meant to replenish energy reserves in your body. With that being said, it is important to feed your body the right food to support daily functions. However, some diets mention carbohydrates as the mai

Life is fast and requires our constant attention. In this fast-paced life, we skip important things like eating breakfast. Now try to remember when was the last time you peacefully ate your breakfast while being grateful for the beautiful morning and delicious warm breakfast. Even if you somehow manage to crunch in your breakfast, you might be eating it in your class, workplace, or while in the car or bus. We seldom get time to sit and eat the first meal of the day. I know, it is difficult to peacefully sit when you have a lecture at 8 or a meeting at 9. But I encourage you to sit and eat at least during weekends or holidays.  Breakfast is regarded as the most important meal of the day. Why?  Now imagine your body being hungry for 8 or more hours during the night. It needs to break its fast, right? I know this is super cliche but it is true. According to the University of New Hampshire’s article, “Breakfast gives you your first boost of energy that you will carry... (“Benefits of Break

There are times when we feel overwhelmed by the amount of work we need to get done in a limited time frame. As a student, I feel overwhelmed quite easily. And this feeling is not just limited to students, but to people who have jobs or own businesses. But in times of overwhelm, time management becomes our best friend. Sure there are many things that require our attention, but are they all an equal priority? In my high school years, I had a misconception that studying for a test next week and completing the essay due tonight has an equal priority. So I tried to cram in the studying and essay writing along with the sports practice. What happened in the end? The feeling of burnout and stress. Nevertheless, this situation can be avoided through the understanding of priorities. My high-school self just ignored the fact that the priority that nigh

  For me, summer is more than a season...it is a feeling. Just the thought of summer invites a bunch of memories that involve endless hours of playing with friends, forgetting to come back home as most of the time is spent outside, eating seasonal fruits like mangoes and berries, and not worrying about homework. Summer is a feeling where all the worries melt. Many of us might associate summer with ice-cream trucks, fruit picking, hiking, road trips, and beach days. Through these associations, we realize that summer gives us so many opportunities to explore, enjoy and just let go. After the dark months of winter, summer gives us new vigor and inspiration to get out of our comfort zones. The nurturing sunlight allows us to soak in the energy which we hope to sustain us through winter. Most importantly, it inspires us to be a child again where fears and anxiety just vanish in the sunlight. To me, the sunlight is something that absorbs the negative self-talk and replaces it with hope-a hop

Have you ever wondered how your muscles contract? How the muscles allow you to run, walk, write or even digest your food? It is all thanks to the muscle contraction mechanism which involves an important neurotransmitter known as “Acetylcholine.” Let us dive into some brief details about this process. Now you might wonder where does our enzyme of the month-Acetylcholinesterase falls into this sweet muscle contraction story. Do not worry we will be going over our enzyme of the month and its importance.              An important aspect of muscle contraction is the generation of the action potential. How is this action potential generated? The answer is the neurotransmitter Acetylcholine. When this neurotransmitter binds to the receptor, the process of muscle contraction begins. If you want to explore the complexity of the muscle contraction, please refer to the image below:  Image citation link: http://legacy.owensboro.kctcs.edu/gcaplan/anat/notes/api%20notes%20j%20%20muscle%20contrac
