No new year new me works unless everyday is treated like ever updating inner software.

Well well, the stress monster is always not an uninvited guest.

It is an accumulated (like a letter box we forgot to empty) and cumulative (because we forgot to empty it it got overload). Basically one of causes of stress can be piled up events/tasks.

A little matrix of time management can do wonders with inevitable stress.

Let's cover that in next post.

All those who changed the numbers on weighing scale knows that it takes right amount (no starvation or no over eating) of nutrition to move the mountains(/numbers😁)

Similarly our life to some extend is revolving around technology and social media.
The sense of feeling trapped by it, the urge of picking up the phone as soon as you hear it 'ping', sleepless nights with phone, uninhibited scrolling, etc are very familiar. Won't lie to you but i wanted to smash my phone to pieces and cut off the online connectivity too.

Anything in excess is toxic applies to digital presence aptly.

But escaping is no good, instead monitoring my own digital presence made sense. I learnt there's no rule of texting back (if don't want to) just because you saw me online and called me or texted me.

Filter out unnecessary conversation and interactions just like you decided to trash out food choices.

On this Mental Health Day sharing this quote I remind myself 365 days.

It is okay to fall, it is okay to pause, your speed does not matter as long as you continue the journey.

Psychologist and Psychiatrists are two commonly spoken about professions under the umbrella of Mental Health.

Psyche is an ancient Greek work meaning mind or soul.

Essentially,
• Psychologists have master's degree and/or higher qualification. They assess mental aspects and offer counselling/psychotherapy/talk therapy to psychological concerns.

• Psychiatrists are qualified physicians who can assess both the mental and physical aspects of psychological concerns. The mode of therapy includes pharmacotherapy (medicines) and talk therapy.

They mostly work hand in hand for an effective and sustained mental well-being of an individual seeking help.

P.S: These are broad categories which are further divided into specializations.
• Under the blanket of Psychology we have Counselling, Social, Health, Clinical, Forensics, Art based therapy etc and
• Under the blanket of Psychiatry we have Child, Geriatric, Addiction Psychiatry, etc.

Let's not forget there are psychiatric nurses, psychiatric social workers, and list goes on.
