Psychology

is gooood. Now, I don't know how many times I've said it or will say it, but it is true.

Psychology is great because it makes you think in broader perspectives, makes you understand others and most importantly makes you an optimist. :)

Just now in English class, we get to watch a video (which is educational, for the first time). Yay!

My lecturer was trying to get us to think of how critical thinking should be and how it can be relayed to others in many ways, not only through academic medium.

I believe the video is related to psychology, where it mentions of mirror neurons, being emphatic and whatnot.  :) :)

Click here to watch it!

The video is about 10 minutes, so if you reallly like psychology(like me! :P) you might survive it till the end.

And so, in the evening, during the MSA meeting, a speaker from the Student Wellness Center gave a talk on stress management, which no doubt, involves psychology too. Double yays! :D

Basically, stress is triggered by stressors, which leads to cognitive perception, hence triggering your body reactions.

The perception that you have in mind is the main factor contributing to stress.

If you perceive something (or rather, stressors) as positive, you'll end up feeling good and happy and satisfied and happy with yourself.

Well, think what would've happened if you put it the other way round (meaning to take it negatively). It will only brings about bad reactions eh? ちょっとだめですね?

Conclusion: Take every single thing happening in your life positively! InshaAllah, you'll feel really glad to have such way of thinking. And....please do take a liking for psychology (of course!)

P/S: Watch this too! If you're addicted to thedeenshow, you would not want to miss it.
