[Music] Namaste to one and all. Namaste is the Anjeli mudra in yoga. And when we bring our hands together in this fashion with the tips of our fingers touching each other, we activate the nerve centers of our brain and raise the level of receptivity, joy, awareness for the people around us and the environment around us.Most importantly, namaste helps us dissolve the ego. So I think this is the most profound and apt manner for me to begin my address on this fantastic riveting intriguing topic titled mental f ...

[Music] I think others are yet to join. Principal Dr. . Eskeel, distinguished speakers and my dear dear Indians.It's a matter of honor to me to be speaking to a elite section of Indians.

[Music] Four 3 2 one. One of you just died. 4 3 2 one.Another one dead. Don't worry, we're not going to be playing some sort of dystopian game I just invented. This is actually a game bleer than that because this is a rate at which people across the globe are dying due to tobacco use.Every 4 seconds, one person dies. Each life and each death entirely preventable. Each life cut short by what many still consider a personal choice.But here's what most of us still don't realize. Smoking is not a free choice at ...

[Applause] Michael walks into his house. He's six years old and it's been a long day. Upon entering, he notices the television's on.His brothers and sisters are upstairs playing. So, he walks over to the couch. She grabs his favorite blanket and a toy and he cuddles up in front of the TV.And as he dozes off, he has this dream where he and his siblings are playing in a big open field, running, chasing, keep away. In fact, the dream is so vivid that his body physically kicks, almost startling him awake. And i ...

What gets you out of bed in the morning. Is it your mom. Do you set an alarm.Or does do not disturb on your phone wake you up. Is it the sun. Is it your bladder. Is it hunger.Is it a desire to make the most of every moment or the urge to be more. Do any of you just roll over and go back to sleep or at least pretend to. I always used to call this half sleep.How long can you keep it up. Can you roll over for 1 hour, two, five, a whole day. At what point do you just get a little bored and get out of bed.This i ...

[Music] This is a slow loris. Lauren, she and I agreed, would have been a slow loris. In the pre-social media era, we used to entertain ourselves with conversations like, "What animal would you be and why?" Lauren was definitely a slow loris, which true to its name is slow.She was unfazed, steady, and calm. I, on the other hand, was a prairie dog, unpredictable, on the move, on the edge of chaotic. We were an odd roommate pairing, a study and contrasts for sure.We met by coincidence our junior year of colle ...

Grief and Loss Understanding - The five stages of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance) are not linear or experienced in a fixed order [1][2][4] - Grief is not something to be graded on or expected to go away; emotions accompanying grief are not linear and may appear unexpectedly [2] - Depression, in its various forms, can appear throughout the grieving process [7][8] - Bargaining can involve oneself, the universe, or another person, often leading to blame and self-doubt [9][10] - Anger is a normal reaction to the injustice of loss, whether directed at oneself, the deceased, or others [15] - Acceptance is not about moving on or forgetting, but about living with the consolation of having loved deeply [18] High School and Grief - High school can be seen as a "funeral for your childhood," marking the transition to independence [3] - The initial idealized view of high school often clashes with reality, leading to denial [5][6] - Junior year is a time when self-doubt and bargaining become prominent, impacting how stress is handled [10][11][12] - Senior year can involve regression, stemming from anger and fear of the unknown future [13][14] Perspective on Grief - Comparing or judging someone else's grief is unproductive [18] - The stages of grief are not a competition or a measure of how well someone has loved [19]
