5 Motivating Ted Talks

Afternoon, everyone!

Hope you are all having a splendid evening. London is incredibly cold but characteristically stunning its own grey way. So who goes on YouTube and endlessly watches random videos without any purpose or care? I know I do. YouTube is a wonderful resource but it can also be incredibly emptying. One good way to occupy your time on YouTube is watching Ted Talks. They usually spur your energy to do something else with your time. They can also inform you about things around the world. In this post, I will list 5 of my most favourite Ted Talks. You can watch these during your breaks or when you catch yourself in an endless loop of random videos to help you get back on track.

1) How To Stop Screwing Yourself Over


This Ted Talk by Mel Robbins is a huge reality check. The speech really makes you realise just quite how much control you have over life. It's so effective to get out of a procrastination rut. 

2) Get Comfortable With Being Uncomfortable



This talk by Luvvie Ajayi is so inspiring. She talks about innovating and making the first step and the step that no one wants to take. This really helps you realise that it does no good to be stuck to the societal quo. 

3) My Year Of Saying Yes To Everything




This talk by Shonda Rhimes is so influential. It makes you want to try saying yes and not remain in comfort where things that are the same. It also portrays the importance of choosing joy and choosing to say yes to things that actually truly matter. 

4) The Power Of Vulnerability




This Brene Brown speech is amazing. Vulnerability is such a misunderstood aspect of life. This speech reveals that it is so courageous to just step up to the plate and stand up to whatever battle it.is. It really helps with failure and overcoming shame. Another one of her speeches is on Netflix which is also absolutely incredible. 

5) Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance




This speech by Angela Lee Duckworth reveals the importance of passion and consistency. It shows that talent has no bearing on how you can improve and grow. It reveals the importance of persistence and keep going in the face of failures. 

Have you ever seen any ted talks? Which is your favourite?

Hope your day goes splendidly! See you in my next post!

Sincerely Sinthu x

Why You Should Vote

Afternoon, everyone! Let's talk about the general election. It's just a week away and there are so many reasons why we should vote. The parties are all making so many promises and proposals for new policies. We need to get out there and decide what we want for the future. Regardless of whether you support one party or another party, just get out there and vote and make sure your voice is heard. Voting impacts how things are in your community and your life.  So why vote? Sure, you might say that you'll have no influence and no impact on the outcome. You might even be completely disinterested in politics and the news but not voting will mean that other people will decide how your entire world is run. From Brexit to education, from the environment to the NHS, it will be decided by someone else. Voting is deciding what policies should proceed and policies make real-life changes. Your vote will impact a whole plethora of different and important aspects of your life so...
