Entry #10 ~ Take a Break!

Image
    Our brain is constantly working day and night. It is working when we are at school, work, anywhere we are at. when do we ever give our brain an actual break from everything we do everyday. Taking breaks is very important to everyone especially people who think they hardly have time to rest. Breaks  refresh your brain and body increases your energy, productivity, and ability to focus. Image     People confuse the types of breaks they should be taking. The types of breaks that are  less effective are things like scrolling through and posting on social media, reading and responding to emails, and surfing the internet. None of that actually gives your brain a break. The breaks that will actually work for your brain are mini-meditation, deep breathing, and getting off your phone and going outside to enjoy the fresh air. A break should take anywhere around one to five minutes . Image     Breaks help not just relaxation but also with health pr...

Entry #9 ~ Social Media

Image
    It became more noticeable that in today's world we spend the majority of our times behind screens. Wether it is just scrolling through an app or just texting all day. We have lost contac t with the outside world. People spend more time on their phone when they are with family or friends rather than them. Image     Strong social media users are more likely to have higher risk of depression, self-harm, anxiety, and loneliness. This is because they spend more time on their phones rather than having relations with actual people. Platforms like TikTok, twitter, and instagram are mostly to blame for people this. People can go hours on tiktok without even noticing that the time has passed by. A teens daily screen time is 7 hours and 22 minutes to 8 hours and 39 minutes.  Image     Overall, I think social media has been having more of negative impact to today's world. People should let the phones down more and enjoy the time they have with thei...

     The majority of people think the only way of getting into shape is working out and getting exercise in which is not true. Although getting exercise takes a big part in getting into shape, eating healthy and the right type of food takes has a big part of it as well.  Image      A person should be eating   protein, carbs, fruits and vegetables . Eating protein helps development and growth in a persons body. carbs provides fuels your brain and muscles. Eating fruits and vegetables help the body lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke, prevent some types of cancer. All these things can help a persons get into shape if being consumed right. People should be eating 3 meals a day . Depending on a person's body time, depends on how much a person should be eating.  Image     Although it is very important to get some exercise, it is just as important to get the right food in your system as well. which ...

Entry #7 ~ Hashtags

Image
     In today's society, Hashtags are a way get quick and easy access to things on a specific topic. Hashtags are used in a lot of different social platforms but the most common platforms are social medias like instagram, facebook, and twitter. With hashtags it made it a lot easier for someone to look up a content they are interested in.  Image      About 75% of people today use hashtags in their daily post on social media. videos easily going viral out of nowhere with the help of hashtags. Hashtags make videos pop up on anyones account so it can be seen. One popular hashtag that I know of is #BLM which meant "Black Lives Matter". This hashtag was really big in the U.S. when an African American was killed by a police officer. It was used to stand up for people that were getting beaten on for the color of their skin.  Image      I personally don't use hashtags when posting something on social media. I do use hashtags to find certai...
