Unfiltered thoughts part 8:' The Power of Emotional Availability: Building Stronger Connections.'

-

 





In a world filled with technological distractions and busy schedules, being emotionally available for people has become a rare and precious commodity. While it might seem like a small gesture, the ability to connect with others on an emotional level can have a profound impact on our relationships and well-being. In this blog, we'll explore why it's crucial to be emotionally available for people and how it can enrich our lives.Hello there! I felt this randomly, out of nowhere :'how precious it is to 'be there' for somebody. 'No matter how small the problem is, how mere you think it is, no matter  you feel that the person's reaction is illogical, you  just have to validate the person's emotions first. It’s always like the first aid. And yes! Equally significant and life-saving. 

When someone is emotionally traumatized, it's important to approach them with compassion and empathy. Rather than immediately offering solutions or advice, take a moment to consider how your reaction may impact their emotions. Rushing to provide logical solutions can often leave the other person feeling weakened and unheard. Sometimes, all it takes is an emotional connection to help restore balance and provide comfort to those who are struggling.We need to understand that being emotionally available to people isn't time-consuming at all: instead, it shall give you mental gratification of being empathetic, understanding and useful to people. No, 'Being there' for people won’t make people take advantage of you. If you are behaviorally stable: that is: managing your emotions priortizedly, nothing can harm you socially.

Let’s conclude: 'Emotional availability ' is rare and precious Let conserve this gentle aspect of being human, and promote a psychologically and socially healthy life!

‘The Neuroscientific Nexus of Meditation, Lucid Dreaming, and Everyday Life’-pt2-Exploring the realms of neuroscience my way.

 Do you become aware amidst dreaming that you are dreaming? Do you wonder why the brain works so miraculously and what shall we gain by knowing the magical science behind this mere-sounding concept? Hello there! I am back with another exploration of neuroscience, my way. It happens sometimes that you are asleep, and only after a while you somehow become aware that you are dreaming. This phenomenon in science is called ‘ Lucid Dreaming’. Lucid dreams are associated with increased physiological activation, as measured by increased phasic activity (e.g., increased REM density). Autonomic nervous system arousal (e.g., heart rate, respiration rate, takes place due to ongoing thought processes and undelated impulses in our brain which ultimately come from stress, anxiety, overthinking even recalling memories! Lucid dreaming thus provides a way to establish precise psychophysiological correlations between the contents of consciousness during sleep and physiological measures, as well as enable

My experience of research- at 1st year BAMS

My Experience of Research.   Hey there! This personal blog will tell you about my experience with my first-ever research project - CCRAS SPARK, during my first year at BAMS. I won't be discussing the academic aspects here, as the academic article will soon be published. Research taught me many things - its pros and cons. I want to share these insights with you, as they might be helpful to you in some way. Research starts with a tiny spark in your mind, curiosity building up, and brainstorming ideas. However, any research truly begins when a capable guide corrects and approves your thoughts. When I began my professional academic journey, I didn't expect to start research in my very first year. However, during the second semester, I learned about the CCRAS 'SPARK' studentship award for undergraduate students and decided to apply. I approached one of my professors, whose expertise and rationality I greatly respect, and together we came up with the topic of "Stud

'The Bystander Effect'- pt1-Exploring The realms of Neuroscience my way.

  The Bystander Effect refers to a phenomenon where the presence of other people discourages an individual from intervening during an emergency, such as bullying or a crime. The more people there are, the less likely it is that any one of them will provide help to a person in distress. Although it may seem like just a concept, Neuroscience has identified this as a significant phenomenon. In this blog, we will explore the concept of the Bystander Effect and its impact on our lives.  Did you know that the Bystander Effect is a fascinating concept? Essentially, it shows how our brains tend to react when we're in a group of people and we witness something happening. We might feel like we have less responsibility to help out (because there are more people around), or we might be worried about what others will think if we do help (evaluation apprehension). And sometimes, we might even think that because no one else is doing anything, it must not be an emergency (pluralistic ignorance). I
