45 Simple Self-Care Practices for a Healthy Mind, Body, and Soul:

Articulately, why I started thinking of search and research on self-care?

Right now, we are facing a drastic time. Because I hope everyone knew, what’s going on?

I don’t like to say the problem again and again. Rather, we can seek for the solution. One of the solutions is taking self-care and helping others. But, you. Me. As an individual must take care.

That’s okay. Everything will end in a good way. Things are gonna be stable and things are gonna be normal. Every individual has to carry and strengthen the hope in the upcoming times.

This is something, I feel better for us if I re-share it.

I’m gonna share the source link down below. I sincerely encourage everyone to visit the link.

WHAT I’M READING RIGHT NOW?

When it comes to reading, I become a bit crazy, curious and overwhelmed. So, here I would love to say the 4 books that I’m reading every day. For every book, I spent an hour. That’s was my time plan. As I said in my early blog. I ferociously allocate time for reading.

Of course, I have personal projects. But, I never compromise my readings and writings. When it comes to reading, I read, every single day. When it comes to writing, at least I try to write 30 minutes. Although, I sit and think contents. When I roam around my house or when I read or watch a documentary. The contents, eventually arise. Quite often, my brain and heart search and run towards contents to research and write.

Here my reading comes,

  1. Fourth Industrial Revolution. By Klaus Schwab. So, this book must-read. Because this is the Fourth Industrial Revolution era. It’s begun. So far, I completed just 39 pages. But quite honestly and professionally, Professor Klaus Schwab has explained in a lucid manner. It’s too informative.

Here, I need to add the bonus, to this above book by the same author. Shaping the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

  1. Develop Self-Confidence, Improve Public Speaking. By Dale Carnegie. Notably, I’m reading this book the second time. I would love to dig deep down.
  2. So You Want to Know About Economics. By Roopa Pai. When comes to Economics, I need to understand a lot. I love Economics. Sorry, I will say a bit later, the purpose of loving and reading Economics. Please don’t mistake me.
  3. The Stars Shine Down. By Sidney Sheldon. I’m looking for stories to read. I love biographies and autobiographies. Even more, I started loving novel and literary fiction books. The Testaments. Nothing Ventured and Milkman are in my upcoming books to read.

Finally, I sincerely encourage everyone to read these books.

9 TRICKS TO LEARN FASTER:

I often keen to learn faster. Also, I encourage more people to do this. Because I think in this dynamic era. Things are going faster and faster. If you are ready to grasp faster, you are gonna move fast. You should learn to learn a bit faster than every day or from every work you do.

Of course, I say this kind of methods is the better ones. There is a possibility, we individuals have our own ability to learn faster. That’s spectacular. Here, my intention to re-share this content is to learn as much as faster. That’s the reason, I search and share that would be a little more impact. Even I write, my personal opinion, I was becoming and becoming self-aware.

I think this is not a trick or secret sauce. These 9 are one of the methodologies to learn faster. There are several ways to do it. But, this also pays off.

If there are ways to learn faster, please comment in the down below. Those who read this comment will be benefitted. On January 2020, I got it from Pinterest. I felt important to re-share it.

Here it is,

  1. Breakdown difficult skills into smaller ones.
  2. Focus on one sub-skill at a time.
  3. Celebrate your mistakes and learn from them.
  4. Shorter period of study every day instead of a long one every week.
  5. Monitor your progress.
  6. Quiz yourself.
  7. Teach other people.
  8. Apply 80/20 principle.

TIME MANAGEMENT:

manage-time-wisely-in-the-new-year-580x460

I think this content I’m writing the second time maybe. I couldn’t remember exactly. But, I have some intention to do better in time management. Often, I would like to think, talk and write more on time management.

The fact we knew on time is, the better way you can manage your time is to manage your plan according to the time. Because we have 24 hours only. Might be we have 25 to-do-lists. Even more too.

What I say is to allocate a specified time on each list.

The same time problem happening to me. Because I’m still struggling to adjust my time according to my to-do-lists. I knew that it takes time. But, every day, I write. I write. What needs to do today. I write each task one by one and allocate time for each task. Might be I fail to complete it.

Things started changing for me. From the day I started writing and allocating time on each task. I’m feeling, good. I can realize the time I’m spending. 20% of the tasks I lose every day. Quite honestly, that’s my lesson. I’m able to know what’s going on with my tasks. Still, adjustments required.

So, you need to know the ultimate priorities right. You should learn to set the target to finish it off. Just be fully focused. Do whatever you can. Finally, you should know the pending work of each list. Alright, if you completed each task on the allocated time. That’s superb. Sometimes, a task might take time to do. So, you need to know where you are standing on every list. Visualize the result of each task. If it is good or terrible, that’s okay. Appreciate yourself. At least you are measuring your result. If the tasks and time seem chaotic, don’t worry. Again, adjust and allocate it.

Plan your day before night. Just write everything, what you are gonna accomplish on an upcoming day.

Ladies and gentlemen. Go-ahead.

VALUABLE POEM: Love’s Philosophy by Percy Bysshe Shelley.

It’s been a very long time to the re-share valuable poem. Usually, I do every Monday. Unfortunately, I came to my hometown. I still looked at some ways to do some of the stuff that I was doing.

The fountains mingle with the river
And the rivers with the ocean,
The winds of Heaven mix for ever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single,
All things by a law divine
In one spirit meet and mingle
Why not I with thine?

See the mountains kiss high Heaven
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister-flower would be forgiven
If it disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea –
What are all these kissings worth
If thou kiss not me?
