Dream Push You to Your Goals #Day5

By -

"Stop dreaming and start working," while this has become a common phrase in many households and society in general, I most certainly disagree. Yes, it is absolutely true that working towards your goals and finishing the tasks you intend to do in a day are essentially important but dreams are what allow us to move forward. 

Before we start off, I know this theme might sound cliché and well, ahem, my "fondness" for them might be obvious to you while reading some of my articles. But sometimes, clichés are clichés for a reason. :)

Here are the reasons why I think you shouldn't stop dreaming :

1) Taking Risks Allow Us to Grow: Our daily work might help us stay where we are - secure and comfortable but weaving dreams in our heads is, equally if not more, important in order to reach greater heights.

2) Branching Out: Dreams help us understand the amount of potential and diverse skills we have. Before I started writing, I had no idea that it was a skill I possessed. I never knew that the conversations I made with people could be transformed into content for my blog.

3) Breaking the monotony: Sometimes dreaming of doing something new or even as simple as trying out a new hobby can help in driving away the boredom of everyday life. Even when these dreams do not come true, they give us hope and new found enthusiasm in our daily jobs. Ever since I have started this challenge of writing a blog every single day, it gives me a sense of purpose after waking up every morning.

4) Breaking barriers and coming out of your shell: If not anything, dreams help you come out of your comfort zone. Even when you taste failure, you are left with an experience and knowledge which no book or internet site can provide making it invaluable.

Nevertheless, inspite of all these advantages, what is absolutely necessary is that we plan out our dreams and not just let them float in our heads. If you have a dream, work on it! Research about it, ask for advice from your friends and colleagues and come to face with the challenges you are likely to face in fulfilling your dreams. But most importantly, if you have the zeal, don't let the challenges get to you!

To accomplish great things, we must not only act but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.

What I Learned from taking a break from Instagram

By -

Having used the app for so long had made me immersed in this "virtual facade" for so long that I had forgotten to draw the difference between real life and social media and so getting out of the app for a while really helped me in gaining clarity. Recently, I reinstalled instagram since after a very long time I had the time to spend just scrolling by posts. But as I opened the app, I realized a lot of things about myself and the nature of social media in general. Firstly, the social media break made me lose interest in the lives of those people who didn't really matter to me in real life. Now this might seem absurd at first since that should not be happening anyway. Why would I have any interest in people whom I barely know? But Instagram makes you want to know more about them. All that everyone is doing is glamourising their lives in the best ways possible by putting the most aesthetic filters, the sassiest captions and the most inside jokes possible. Having used the ap...

#NaBloPoMo #Day1

With the advent of internet and social media, fun challenges seem to come up every now and then. However, challenges like Inktober and NaNoWriMo have stuck by all these years and continue to create buzz around content creators annually. Similarly, National Blog Posting Month, famously known as NaBloPoMo traditionally hosted in the month of November in the United States is/was (we'll come to that later) an annual challenge which, although smaller in scale, comes up as a fun activity for bloggers and writers in general. Inspired by NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), the aim of NaBloPoMo is for participants to write a post every day for an entire month Although, presently, there isn't an official organizer of the NaBloPoMo, it is still continued by bloggers individually or by forming small communities and has become more of an international event rather than a national one. Nowadays, even though traditionally and most commonly taken up in November, is also observed in oth...

How To Break the Cycle of Demotivation #Day9

Let's get real about this - nobody feels cheerful and motivated to work all the time. In fact, many a times we fall into the loop of putting off work until the last day ending up with a huge pile of things to finish and then getting demotivated by the amount of work we have. You will find hundreds of advices and search results on "How to Stay Organized at Work". In fact even I did a similar article a while ago on how to get through a hectic day. But nobody tells us how to get out of this vicious loop of procrastinating until the very last minute possible and then feeling hopeless. So here are a few tips to get yourself in schedule back again: (1) Create a time table for yourself THE RIGHT WAY : I can nearly assure that you must have been told this once in your life - to create a time table, a to-do list, maintaining a diary, etc etc. However, one thing I have definitely learnt the hard way is that you need to make sure that your time table must be created in such a wa...
