My favorite hobby is looking back at all my absurd thoughts, aka flipping through all of my old journal entries. I actually do this quite often. I love to look back and see what minuscule thing had me panicking 3 years ago or what little comment brought me joy 5 months ago.And if you go back to my very first journal entry, you'll see that it was dated for April 17th, 2020. And since then, I've collected stacks of journals, bought so much stationery, and have tried almost every journaling method you could po ...

Take a look at this picture. What do you see. Some may say a messy motel. Some may say a place that is uninhabitable. Some may say a place that they never want to go to.For me, this was my home. Not once, not twice, but multiple times throughout my life. As a matter of fact, this time last year, I was living in a space that looked exactly like this.You may be wondering, how did I get from there to here. Well, through my incredible support group of friends and family and the concept of mental reframing, I wa ...

As Eric Hoffer once wrote, "The search for happiness is one of the chief sources of unhappiness." I grew up chasing a version of happiness that everyone told me was the ideal version. I believed that checking all the right boxes would somehow make me feel fulfilled. But in reality, I felt more disconnected from myself.I'm not someone who has it all figured out. I'm simply someone living through the mess. This talk isn't about perfection, but about being honest and admitting happiness isn't a destination, bu ...

Core Argument - The presentation introduces the concept of JOMO (Joy of Missing Out) as a counterpoint to FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), advocating for embracing solitude and personal interests [3] - It suggests reframing the perception of alone time from unproductive to a valuable opportunity for self-discovery and mental well-being [3][4] Social Media & Mental Health - Social media can artificially amplify the positive aspects of others' lives, potentially diminishing self-perception and exacerbating feelings of FOMO [6] - FOMO exists on a spectrum, ranging from mild regret to severe anxiety and self-reproach for prioritizing personal time [7] - Clinical psychologist Amy Sullivan states that FOMO has a direct link to anxiety and can be seen through physical symptoms like headaches, body aches, and even heart tensions [6][12] Practical Application - The presentation encourages the audience to identify and revisit old hobbies or explore new interests during alone time [4][10] - It advises individuals to recognize and manage FOMO by understanding its triggers and prioritizing personal well-being [4][12] - The presentation concludes with an exercise prompting the audience to schedule intentional alone time for activities they enjoy [15]

Burnout Definition and Impact - The American Psychological Association defines burnout as mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion, often with decreased motivation and lowered performance [3] - Burnout can lead to internal shame, especially for Black women due to societal expectations of strength and resilience [4][5] - Suppressing emotions, though praised, increases the risk of mental and physical health conditions like high-functioning depression, anxiety, gastrointestinal issues, heart problems, and migraines [15][16] The "Strong Black Woman" Schema - Black women face intersecting pressures that decrease their experience with happiness and joy [7] - The "strong black woman" schema describes Black women as resilient, avoiding vulnerability, self-sufficient, and in service to others, which can be exhausting [10][11] - This expectation can lead to suffering being seen as a badge of honor, distorting experiences with happiness [11] Recovery and Self-Care - Addressing burnout involves honesty, self-care, and recognizing the need for help [8] - The most radical act for Black women is to care for themselves fully and unapologetically [20] - Resisting the myth that strength means self-abandonment and choosing self-care are crucial [21]

Core Concepts - The report explores the experience of living "in between" cultures and identities, focusing on the challenges and adaptations involved in finding happiness in new environments [1][2][5] - It introduces three concepts: liminality (the state of being in between identities), identity negotiation (adapting oneself in intercultural spaces), and code-switching (adjusting communication style) [2] - The speaker uses the analogy of cooking a traditional dish (Tavcha Grache) to illustrate these concepts, relating each ingredient and step to the experience of cultural adaptation [2] Personal Growth and Adaptation - The speaker shares personal experiences of adjusting to life in the US, highlighting differences in social interactions, relationships, and cultural norms [2][3][4] - The report emphasizes that nostalgia and moments of sadness are integral parts of the happiness-seeking process, not its opposite [5][6] - It highlights the importance of creating new rituals and finding joy in unexpected places, such as thrift stores and secondhand bookstores [6][7][8] Universal Themes - The feeling of being "not fully here or there" is presented as a universal experience, resonating with anyone who has felt like an outsider or has undergone significant life changes [5] - The report celebrates the resilience and adaptability of individuals who cross cultural boundaries to build new lives for themselves [11] - It frames happiness as an ongoing process of experimentation and adaptation, rather than a fixed destination or recipe [10][12]

[Applause] This is an iPad and I I'm not Steve Jobs. I'm not here to promote iPads. But today I will be talking about an app that is in this iPad Chad GBT or any other AI apps that I'm sure many of you have in your phones, laptops or other devices.The truth is AI is becoming more and more prominent. Not only that, but we see it by the statistics. According to the economic times report, it is projected that tech giant companies like Google, Microsoft, Amazon and others are going to invest over $320 billion U ...

I want you to think of a period in your life when you failed to live up to someone's expectation. It could be your family member, your friend, or anyone else. Now, I want you to hold this thought and we'll come back to that later.For me, that memory still continues to spin around in my head to this day. My father had a serious addiction to alcohol until he was diagnosed with diabetes. And religion was the only salvation that made him stop.From that day on, it became an integral part of our family. But no ma ...
