Your mind is a sponge – help it grow!

-
I don’t believe that you should ever stop learning, there is always something else you can add to your growing knowledge. I find it very important to expand my mind in as many ways as possible. We live in a world where we have so many resources at our finger tips we would be silly to not take advantage of them.
  •        TedxTalks
  •        Netflix – Explained, Documentaries
  •        Short Classes
  •       Scientific Journals
  •       Resources from friends and family

So many of these are free or extremely low cost that it makes learning easy to incorporate into your daily life. I love how they don’t take too long either, the average tedxtalk is only 18min long which is actually scientifically proven to be an optimal time to be able to process and take in all of the information.

Stay tuned as I will be starting a series reviewing different resources that I use in my daily life. Also let me know any ways you enjoy adding learning into your daily life!

I feel like this year has flown by, but after reminiscing, I’ve realised that I have done so much and have had many incredible experiences! So here is my 2022 in review! Enjoy! Trips Away I went to Caloundra and Mooloolaba earlier this year for trips away. I spent my days checking out beaches, relaxing, eating delicious food and watching sunsets with good company <3 Blue Hair I dyed my hair for the first time last New Year’s Eve! I’ve kept the tips of my hair blue all year round, just by refreshing the colour every couple of months. I’ve really loved having my hair blue! I think it represents me and my personality perfectly. Hikes and walks I’ve always loved nature and walks, and this year I have continued this passion by trying different trails! I’ve explored Karawatha Park Nature Reserve, Daisy Hill Conservation Park, and Enoggera Reserve, just to name a few! Days at Redcliffe Redcliffe has been such an amazing place to visit on days out! Walking along the pier, gettin...

The Power of Humour

  I believe that humour is a necessary part of my life that I use daily. I respond to humour with laughter, as many of us do. One of the reasons people enjoy humour so much is that it is a wonderful source of entertainment and brings happiness to your life. By using humour, I can be better prepared for when things go wrong. For example, if I am feeling down, I can laugh with my friends, I know that always cheers me up. I recently read an article titled “ Humour, laughter, learning and health! ”. For me, the most exciting part of the article was the interesting points made about trying out humour in the classroom. Research about the uses of humour: This research has led me to believe that humour can be used in many different ways. Without humour the world would be a sad place. One of the most powerful aspects of humour is the way in which it causes people to react. I think that the way we as humans respond to humour unites us. What I mean by this is that we all enjoy...

Relaxing with Reiki

  Relaxing with Reiki Background info Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that transfers energy through the hands of a practitioner to provide healing. It uses energy exchange during the process and promotes stress reduction as it encourages relaxation. In reiki the person receiving the treatment lays on a bed and the healer places their hands on the receiver to their affected areas. Research suggests that reiki treatments are linked with improvements in depression and anxiety. Research has also shown that Reiki can be helpful for improving mood and relieving stress through lowering heart rate and blood pressure, and increasing immune strength. Reiki reduces stress by incorporating music, drums, breathing and training the mind to bring awareness to the body’s wellness. This shifts the body from a fight or flight (stress) response into a more relaxed state. Reiki involves the use of vibrations through the music and drums. Given there is scientific evidence behind the use ...
