How Journaling every day have changed my life



A few years ago, I had many problems with my family and my academic performance was very bad. These problems kept happening until I got into an acute depression. It was very painful to feel worthless and have no confidence. At that time, I decided to change myself and be a better person. I have decided that I won’t accept my situation and I will fix all my problems one by one. Among all the habits that I have developed, the most radical one of them is journaling. The truth is that I was very frustrated with my handwriting and I thought that if I write every day for one hour I will improve my handwriting after a while. So, I carried a notebook with me to college and I started writing my thoughts between my classes every day. I used to spend more than one hour every day. I kept doing this for more than six months. I didn’t realize that what I am doing is called journaling until a very long time. I was a very surprised of what I wrote. I realized that I had a lot of negativity and pessimism. I kept complaining about the same problems every day until I start writing solutions. I gradually started making actions and solve one problem at a time. I developed many habits such as waking up 5 am, working out, cooking, running, affirmation, eating healthy food and more habits. However, the most transformational habit which changed my life dramatically is journaling. I strongly believe that journaling is the most effective method to cure depression for most people. I don’t do journaling anymore because I realized that if I am not depressed it is not really helpful. Currently, I only do journaling when I feel depressed. Finally, it is extremely important to hide your journal from everybody because anybody who read your journal is like watching you naked. You have all your secrets and feeling in your journal.

Poison Positivity

 When I was in my third year in college, I had an acute depression. I had very bad grades and I had a lot of family problems. Starting from 2018, I decided to listen and read about self-development. I immersed myself in this world and I replaced my negativity with positivity. I literally brainwashed my brain. After I have have solved my depression problem completely, I started looking unsatisfied on many self-development post. I realized that often time, being optimistic is just a way of escaping the brutal truth. It is actually will make you less happy instead of more happy. Even too much positivity is bad for you.

The Chalisgaon Solar Panel Vandalism Incident: A Labor Protest Turned Viral

In 2018, a labor dispute at a solar farm in Chalisgaon, Maharashtra, India, escalated into an incident of vandalism, where frustrated workers destroyed solar panels. The workers were employed to construct and maintain a 100-megawatt solar project but took drastic action due to unpaid wages. Videos showed them smashing the panels with hammers and sticks in protest. Initially, some misinformation circulated online, suggesting that the destruction was motivated by superstitions, such as blaming the panels for causing droughts. However, fact-check investigations confirmed that the primary reason was non-payment of wages. The workers, angered by the delayed compensation, decided to damage the infrastructure as a form of protest. This incident highlights the vulnerabilities within labor management in large-scale infrastructure projects. The combination of financial mismanagement and lack of proper communication between workers and project administrators can lead to such severe reactions. The...

Why You Cannot Achieve More Than One Goal in The Same Period of Time

One of the most common traps people fall into is trying very hard to achieve more than one goal in the same period of time. They might be very motivated to master more than one skill so they create a schedule to help them work on all their goals in a daily basis. They keep working hard on multiple goals in the same time for months without getting a satisfying result. Then they start to question their strategy in learning each skill and change it and keep repeating the same cycle again. They start to work on one goal all the time but after two or three weeks they start to work in more than one goal and the cycle keep repeating.             What I mean by a goal or a skill in this post is something like, improving your academic performance, master a musical instrument, learn a language, have a good body shape, learn drawing, be a great engineer, be great writer, learn a coding language, …etc. These are just some examples but you ...
