My advice for exploring quotations and their meanings

Whenever I see a quote expressed from somebody, I always ask myself: "What does it mean?" Then I proceed to look up the meaning behind it.

After I've looked up the meaning of the quote, I then ask myself: "Why does the quote mean that?" Which helps me to think up some answers in relation to that question.

And the final part of the chemistry is... I simply write down whatever my thoughts say in terms of answering those questions.

Have a go yourself, as I'm sure you'll be just as curious as I am!

Top 10 characteristics of resilience

Image
Hi all, just a quick one for today, as I'll be busy with working at 2 different jobs throughout the next 2 weeks. Not only that, I've also got my coursework to prioritise. All of this means I won't be able to make enough time for me to be working on here during the time being. Below, I have attached a picture which is displaying the top 10 characteristics of resilience of a human brain. This was another something that I had come across on 1 of my psychology groups on FB. Unfortunately though, it will be the last, as due to unforseen circumstances, I have had to remove myself from these groups. Anyway, I hope you'll find this interesting, and I shall be back on here in 3 weeks time!

Alrighty, although World Mental Health Day has come & gone, I still want to provide you all with a video that shares a silent, but powerful message.  As the title states, I also want to share my thoughts on the video, as I want to spread the important awareness of checking in on the people around you. This is because everyone has a right to check in on people around them, as it helps to those people to feel wanted when they feel like they are alone by thinking that nobody cares about them. Even though this video (below) is produced by Norwich City FC, it was also a collaboration with Samaritans for the purpose of raising awareness on World Mental Health Day.    What do I think of this video? I think this video was very well presented, as its aim was to spread the importance of checking in on whoever is around you. In this case, the video consisted of 2 men at a Norwich City FC football game. The man on the right was clearly trying to enjoy himself. The man on the left...

An insight to SEMH: A new journey

Image
Hello everyone! Well, what can I say, it's obviously been a long time since I was last active on here. And there are 2 reasons why... I suppose the 1st one being I couldn't be bothered. The 2nd one, however, is because I now have a weekday job in a SEMH school. To be more precist, I began this new job on the 25th of November of last year. Since I have a day of nothing today, (which rarely happens anymore these days!šŸ˜‚) I thought I'd make use of it by utilizing the time to make this post.  As the above title states, I will be talking about the 'ins & outs' of SEMH. I will also be sharing how much I have learned about SEMH. You're probably asking: "What does SEMH stand for?" SEMH stands for Social, Emotional & Mental Health. Now you're asking: "What is Social, Emotional & Mental Health?" Social, Emotional & Mental Health is a complex mental health condition, where people experience significant struggles with managing their b...
