Psychology Intake

Yes, the title illustrates this post as a whole. Also, I promise you, this will be the last time that I talk about COVID-19 and the lockdowns, as I'm sure most people have had enough of hearing those words by now. However, today of all days, was simply just too important for this topic to go unmentioned, and here's why... Today, (23/3/21) marks the 1 year anniversary of the EXACT date that the UK got slammed into a full on 'Lockdown' due to COVID-19 killing hundreds of people per day. (23/3/20) Meaning, we were instructed to "Stay at home" as non-essential, restaurants and education places were forced to close for the foreseeable future.       However, supermarkets and pharmacies had to remain open, as buying groceries and medicine was important for maintaining our well-being and health. The only time we could leave home, was to go out for daily exercise once a day. (Back then, it was only within walking distance)             ...

I somewhat feel like talking about the educational effects about one of my favourite TV shows - Horrible Histories. Whilst I understand that everyone is not a fan of kids' educational TV shows on CBBC, there is absolutely no need to be criticising other people, (especially grown ups) by telling them that it's "childish" . Because, in my opinion, I still find this programme very helpful, as well as very funny in some parts. I'll further explain more into that...    Why do I find this programme educational? In each episode, they talk about a vary of 4 different era's, which all consist from the before 21st century that we live in today. I like how during these historical topic discussions, they use actors/actresses to do a role play, of what these type of historical people were like back in their century.  Let's talk about the Tudors  for example...  I'm sure most of you may have been taught about them already, so I'll give out a short explanation.....

Hi all, I thought about sharing this psychological fact with you, since I'm currently in the process of building up my thoughts for an upcoming bigger post. Which consists of how thinking about a certain colour can make you feel like. This is something that I experience a little bit with already. I'll share my examples... BLUE - chilled, cool, energetic, calm, cold, wet. RED - evil, scared, love, hot, angry, fierce, blushed. GREEN - healthy, fresh, wild, environmental, scientific. YELLOW - happy, cheerful, bright, dangerous, summery. PURPLE - beautiful, creative, musical, hyper. PINK - love, girly,  (not stereotyped)  kind, crazy, sweet.  ORANGE - Tangy, (food & drink related word)   GREY - old, misty, depressed, historical, dull.  WHITE - wintery, clean, plain, confident.  BLACK - intelligent, sporty, shy, dark.  BROWN - chocolate, dirty, natured.  I'll say no more, here's the pictured example for you to glance at. This time, with added ...

First thing's first, it's been a long while... due to me keeping up to date with my coursework. But with that just said, I thought I'll share a personal insight with you with what I've been keeping myself occupied with these past 6 weeks. Which is planning and physically doing a fitness circuit.  Why should I talk about my fitness circuit experience? There is psychology involved. You might seem curious about my progress. It may inspire some of you to do the same. How long have I been doing my circuit for? I have started from the 18/1/21 and finished on the 5/3/21. Which lasted for 6 weeks. (As this was a 6 week training programme) What did I have to do? I had to plan out my own range of exercises from arm, leg, core and cardio on my exel diary. (Also including warm up and cool down) There was additional notes which had to be made to my diary, consisting of sets, reps, recovery and how did I do with the exercises? In relations to physically doing the circuit, I had to fi...
