Nursing / What are the current trends in nursing?

« on: July 05, 2025, 12:12:31 PM »

The healthcare sector continues to evolve at a rapid pace, and nursing remains at its heart. In 2025, the nursing profession faces both new challenges and unprecedented opportunities, fueled by technological advancements, an aging population, and a global shift in healthcare priorities. Below are some of the most significant current trends shaping the world of nursing.

1. Nursing Shortage
A global nursing shortage continues to affect healthcare systems, driven by an aging population, burnout, and the retirement of experienced nurses. The World Health Organization projects a shortfall of nearly 10 million nurses worldwide by 2030. This shortage is not only stressing current staff but is also pushing health institutions to innovate in recruitment and retention strategies.

2. Job Growth for Nursing
Despite the shortage, or perhaps because of it, nursing is among the fastest-growing professions globally. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 6% growth in employment for registered nurses (RNs) from 2021 to 2031, with even higher growth for specialized roles such as Nurse Practitioners (NPs). This trend offers job security and advancement for those entering the field.

3. Nurse Retirement Impact
Many experienced nurses from the baby boomer generation are retiring, creating a significant knowledge gap. This mass retirement affects mentorship, clinical experience, and overall team stability. Institutions are responding with "retired nurse return" programs and accelerated leadership tracks for younger nurses.

4. Advancing Nursing Education
More emphasis is being placed on academic progression in nursing. From diplomas to doctoral degrees, nurses are encouraged to pursue lifelong education. This trend is driven by the complex demands of modern healthcare, requiring nurses to handle more responsibilities independently and expertly.

5. Challenges in the Nursing Workforce
Increased workloads, emotional exhaustion, workplace violence, and insufficient support are ongoing challenges. Nurses face moral distress when they cannot deliver the quality of care they wish to provide. Institutional focus on mental health, safety, and equitable work environments is more important than ever.

6. Patient Education
Modern nurses are educators as much as caregivers. With rising rates of chronic diseases and complex medical regimens, nurses play a vital role in ensuring patients understand their conditions, medications, and self-care techniques. This trend empowers patients and reduces hospital readmission rates.

7. Advanced Nursing Roles
Nurses are increasingly stepping into advanced roles such as Nurse Practitioners, Clinical Nurse Specialists, and Nurse Anesthetists. These professionals often serve as primary care providers, especially in rural and underserved communities, making quality healthcare more accessible.

8. Geriatric Specialists Are in High Demand
As global populations age, there is a growing demand for geriatric care. Geriatric nurses specialize in managing chronic illnesses, mobility issues, and cognitive decline. Their role is critical in helping elderly patients maintain quality of life and independence.

9. Increasing Demand for Elder Care
Beyond hospitals, elder care services such as home health care, nursing homes, and palliative care facilities are experiencing exponential growth. Nurses trained in elder care will remain central to these services, especially in countries with rapidly aging demographics.

10. Integration of Artificial Intelligence
AI is revolutionizing nursing through predictive analytics, automated diagnostics, and robotic assistants. It allows for faster decision-making, real-time monitoring, and personalized care planning. AI helps nurses by reducing administrative burdens, enabling them to focus more on patient-centered care.

11. More Nurses Are Learning Online
E-learning is now mainstream in nursing education. Platforms offer flexible, accredited programs that cater to working professionals. Online simulation tools, virtual labs, and AI tutors ensure that distance learning maintains high educational standards.

12. More Nurses Will Specialize
The generalist nurse is being replaced by highly specialized professionals in fields such as oncology, cardiology, pediatrics, and critical care. Specialization leads to improved patient outcomes and professional satisfaction.

13. Nurse Prescribing
In many countries, nurse practitioners are authorized to prescribe medications. This trend reduces wait times, alleviates physician shortages, and enhances the autonomy of nurses in managing patient care. Legislative expansion of prescribing rights continues globally.

14. Telehealth Services Are on the Rise
Telehealth exploded during the COVID-19 pandemic and remains a permanent fixture. Nurses now conduct consultations, monitoring, and follow-ups virtually. Telehealth increases accessibility for remote populations and improves chronic disease management.

15. Advancing the Nursing Profession Through Innovation
From wearable tech to mobile health apps, nurses are at the forefront of healthcare innovation. Many now participate in research, tech development, and health informatics, proving that nursing is as much a field of innovation as any other in modern medicine.

16. Focus on Holistic Care
Holistic nursing emphasizes the treatment of the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Techniques such as mindfulness, therapeutic touch, and wellness coaching are gaining popularity. Holistic care improves patient satisfaction and emotional well-being.

17. Focus on Mental Health
Mental health is no longer a hidden issue. Nurses are increasingly trained in mental health first aid, crisis intervention, and therapeutic communication. Mental health nursing is growing, particularly post-pandemic, as societies address the psychological toll of recent years.

18. Health Informatics
Nurses are becoming proficient in health informatics, using data to improve patient care. Electronic Health Records (EHRs), clinical decision support systems, and data dashboards are now essential tools. Informatics nurses bridge clinical care and IT systems.

19. Implications of COVID-19 for Nursing Education
The pandemic transformed how nursing is taught. Online platforms, simulation-based education, and remote clinical assessments replaced traditional methods. These adaptations may permanently redefine nursing curricula and assessment models.

20. Interprofessional Education
Nurses now train alongside doctors, pharmacists, social workers, and therapists to improve collaboration and patient outcomes. This interdisciplinary approach prepares nurses to work in team-based care environments, essential for managing complex health issues.

21. Massive Increase in Online Training
Short-term certifications, skill-upgrading programs, and CPD (continuing professional development) courses are more accessible than ever. Platforms like Coursera, Khan Academy, and institutional LMSs make it easier for nurses to stay current and competitive.

22. Technology and Agentic AI
Emerging technologies such as Agentic AI offer exciting prospects in media and nursing communication. Agentic AI can autonomously scan and retrieve the latest healthcare updates, enabling nursing faculties, students, and media units like Campus TV or JMC to curate real-time, goal-driven content. For example, AI can be used to generate news content, prepare program scripts, and develop health awareness campaigns targeted toward youth and the community.

23. Revival of Career TV at DIU
A visionary step taken by Daffodil International University (DIU) was the launch of Career TV, a platform where career guidance programs, talk shows, and expert interviews were aired to help students navigate their professional journeys. This initiative, if revived, can become an incubator for Journalism and Mass Communication (JMC) students. With integration into Campus TV and support from modern AI tools, Career TV can guide nursing students and others in developing career strategies aligned with current and future healthcare trends.

Final Thought
The nursing profession in 2025 is in the midst of a transformative wave. From digital innovations and workforce challenges to growing specialization and holistic approaches, the field is expanding in complexity and opportunity. As healthcare demands increase, nurses will remain crucial to ensuring quality, accessible, and compassionate care. Institutions must invest in nursing education, technology, and workforce support to sustain this vital profession. By embracing innovation, interprofessional collaboration, and AI integration, the nursing sector is poised to meet the challenges of today while preparing for the healthcare needs of tomorrow.

Web-Based Programming / Mastering the AI Tsunami: How to Stay Current in AI/ML Without Losing Your Mind

« on: June 28, 2025, 02:19:51 PM »

In today’s world, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) evolve faster than most people can read their newsfeeds. Between the avalanche of new research papers, product updates, tools, and AI think pieces, even seasoned professionals can feel overwhelmed. The trick isn’t just to “stay updated”—it’s to do so without burning out or falling into the trap of “learning anxiety.” This article dives deep into how you can strategically stay informed, sharpen your edge, and still sleep well at night.

1. Shift from Information Hoarding to Knowledge Curation

The first mistake people make is subscribing to everything. Newsletters, subreddits, podcasts, YouTube channels—it’s endless. But information overload is real. Instead of trying to consume everything, curate a few reliable sources tailored to your role and interest:

For researchers: arXiv Sanity Preserver, Papers with Code.

For engineers: GitHub Trending, Hacker News AI, MLOps Community.

For product managers or generalists: The Batch (DeepLearning.ai), Import AI, and TLDR AI.

Pro tip: Use tools like Feedly or Mailbrew to organize and limit your content intake.

2. Develop a Weekly Learning System (Not a Daily Panic Habit)

You don’t need to follow AI updates like it’s breaking news. Instead, allocate two focused sessions per week, maybe 30–60 minutes each, for deep skimming and note-taking.

Monday: Catch up on newsletters, saved articles.

Friday: Watch a conference talk or explore a new paper/tool.

Apps like Notion, Obsidian, or even Google Keep can help you organize what you learn into a personal wiki—far more useful than reading and forgetting.

3. Focus on Macro Trends, Not Micro News

A new paper released? A new tool trending on Twitter? Unless it aligns with your work or long-term interests, it’s often noise. Instead, zoom out:

What are the major transformations happening in AI? (e.g., foundation models, synthetic data, multimodal learning)

What areas are stagnating or declining?

Which technologies are moving from research to production?

The 80/20 rule applies here: 20% of developments shape 80% of the industry’s future. Invest your energy accordingly.

4. Anchor Learning to Real Projects

One of the fastest ways to learn (and filter out noise) is to solve real problems using AI. If you're in product, think about deploying a basic recommendation system. If you’re an engineer, try building a pipeline using an MLOps tool.

Why it works:

You’ll only read what’s truly relevant.

You build muscle memory through doing, not just watching.

It helps bridge theory with real-world constraints.

Don't just read about LangChain—build a chatbot. Don’t just admire HuggingFace models—fine-tune one.

5. Use AI to Learn AI (Seriously)

Why not use the very tools you’re learning about? Tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini can:

Summarize papers for you.

Explain code snippets or ML concepts.

Suggest alternative architectures or models.

Generate sample datasets for prototyping.

Prompting is a skill—and it’s fast becoming essential. Develop a habit of using AI not only as a productivity tool but also as a thinking partner.

6. Diversify Input: Don’t Rely on One Echo Chamber

Following only Twitter threads or GitHub stars can bias your view of what’s important. Expand your lens:

Attend both research-heavy and practitioner-focused conferences (e.g., NeurIPS and ODSC).

Join interdisciplinary communities (e.g., AI & Ethics, Responsible AI, or AI + Healthcare).

Watch non-tech speakers on how AI is affecting labor, society, or creativity.

It’s not about just what’s cool—it’s also about what’s meaningful.

7. Balance Depth with Breadth Over Time

Trying to master every new ML paper or architecture leads to burnout. Instead:

Pick 1–2 domains to go deep in (e.g., computer vision + generative models).

For the rest, stay at a 10,000-foot view: you should be aware of it, not an expert in everything.

Every 6–12 months, you can rotate or reassess where you want to dive deeper.

8. Create Instead of Consume (Even in Small Doses)

You retain more when you create content from your learning. This can be:

A LinkedIn post summarizing what you learned.

A blog post explaining a concept in your words.

A notebook or repo on GitHub with a mini-project.

Creation = curation + clarity. It forces you to distill your learning, and it helps you build your personal brand or portfolio over time.

9. Join Learning Networks, Not Just Communities

Online communities like r/MachineLearning or Discords are great—but learning networks are better. What’s the difference?

Communities are large and often passive.

Learning networks are small, interactive groups focused on collective growth.

Find or form a study circle, mentorship pod, or monthly call with peers learning the same thing. The accountability and shared knowledge accelerate progress.

10. Protect Your Cognitive Bandwidth

This is the ultimate rule: you can’t learn everything—and you don’t have to.

Don’t fall into FOMO (fear of missing out). Instead, set quarterly themes (e.g., "Q3: Improve prompt engineering + MLOps workflows") and stick to that. Ignore most other things unless they directly align.

Also, set boundaries:

Disable notifications.

Avoid multitasking while reading papers or coding.

Take breaks. Your brain processes new knowledge while resting.

Final Thoughts

The AI/ML field is a high-speed train. But you don’t need to chase every station. You just need a clear map, the right pace, and a smart system to stay on track.

By shifting from panic-driven consumption to intentional, focused learning, you not only stay up to date—you stay in control. And in this whirlwind world of AI, that control is what makes you truly future-proof.

AI in Business / 7 Essential AI Strategies Smart Leaders Are Using in 2025 to Lead Industries

« on: June 24, 2025, 05:07:40 PM »

7 Essential AI Strategies Smart Leaders Are Using in 2025 to Lead Industries

Actionable insights from real-world projects and 15+ strategy calls with founders, CEOs, and sales leaders.

This is what real leaders are saying (and doing) to outpace the competition, right now:

1. Smart Leaders Don’t “Outsource” AI Knowledge

Old thinking: “Just hire an expert, I don’t need to know the details.”

Smart leaders now: “If I want to lead, I need to understand how AI and automation connect to business results.”

This is the biggest paradigm shift I’m seeing.

The best leaders don’t want to outsource AI understanding. They don’t want to rely on external (or internal) expertise.

Smart leaders want to OWN the AI expertise.

Smart leaders want to BUILD AI solutions.

The best leaders block out a few hours. They roll up their sleeves and dive into hands-on demos. They ask, “How would this work for us?” and don’t settle for vague answers.

They don’t care what AI can do.

They only care what AI can do FOR THEM.

But… They don’t know what AI can do for them!

And it’s painful. It itches them.

They know:

AI is a new huge thing.
AI is gonna change everything.
Without AI, they may be out of business in the next years.
Clarity on what AI can do for their business gives a strategic edge.
And what’s even more important… They know that the best way of gaining AI expertise is through building.

When did this click for me?

I remember a call with a CEO who said, “I saw your YouTube videos. I want you to teach me how to build these AI automations. I know AI is gonna be huge, but I don’t see the direct impact on my business.”

7 days later, he was building simple automations.

Not to become a developer, but to make better strategic decisions.

2. Smart Leaders Use External Mentorship as a Temporary Accelerator

Old model: “Let’s just outsource it and let experts build it for us.”

Smart leaders: “I want you to co-build or co-mentor us for a few months. After that, we need to be self-sufficient.”

Mentorship accelerates learning.

Learning 1:1 with an expert is much faster than learning online from random resources.

Best leaders know it.

They do NOT:

Want yet another “course” that sits untouched in a Notion folder.
Want to watch 10 YouTube videos to find a solution to their problem.
Want to spend 5 hours fixing a bug that an expert would fix in 5 minutes.
They want the speed and accountability that comes from working with a hands-on expert. But… only until their own team can stand on its own.

Tim — A 59-year-old Leader with Permission to Fail.
I mentored a 59-year-old non-tech entrepreneur.

After three 1-hour sprints, he gained enough confidence to build the “Email Pipeline System” in n8n, which:

categorized and prioritized emails,
recognized emails with attachments,
saved received invoices on Google Drive,
read crucial data from invoices and save it in Sheets.
Yes, he spent 10+ more hours building it all.

But he solved his specific problems and doesn’t waste time on boring tasks that we can already automate.

What made him succeed?

Curiosity.
Painful (yet solvable) problem.
Permission to fail: A bias for trying things even if he knew he’d break something.
Note: If a 59-year-old non-tech guy can build AI automations, so can you. You just need an expert to give you a quick start. I specialize in helping beginners become builders. Interested? DM me on LinkedIn (mention you come from Medium).

3. Smart Leaders Build AI & Automation Talent Internally — Not Just Buy It Externally

Smart leaders bet on people. Period.

They don’t want AI & automations to REPLACE people.

They want AI & automations to ENHANCE people.

Remember, your true competitive advantage is NOT in technology. It’s in your people.

Instead of endlessly hiring outside experts (who will never understand your business as deeply as you do), they focus on growing in-house AI and automation skills.

Why? Because internal experts know the company’s processes, quirks, and industry details inside out.
This makes building AI solutions faster, more efficient, and ultimately cheaper than relying on outsiders who are “catching up” for months.
My not-so-bold prediction: Within 30 months, businesses without internal AI & Automation experts will be in survival mode.

Great leaders:

Upskill their teams through practical projects and hands-on learning.
Bring in mentors for sprints, but with the goal of graduating to independence quickly.
Encourage everyone, not just the “tech team,” to learn the basics of AI and automation.
They make “AI-first” thinking a cultural habit.
And it nicely leads to the next point.

4. Smart Leaders Position Learning as a Competitive Edge Company-Wide.

It’s not enough to tell people to “learn AI”.

You need a culture where learning and failing are safe.

Smart leaders know that:

Curiosity and asking questions should be rewarded, not shut down.
Teams should be able to admit what they don’t know (without fear of embarrassment or job risk).
Failure and “I broke it!” moments are shared and learned from, not hidden.
This approach creates “emotional safety” around failing and not knowing.

This psychological safety is the secret behind teams that experiment and win faster than their competitors.

Why does this matter?

As AI moves faster, no one will have all the answers up front.

The companies that win will be the ones who create room for “messy learning” and continuous experimentation.

Whoever fails the most, learns the fastest.

5. Smart Leaders Turn Curiosity Into Rapid Experimentation

Once leaders see what’s possible with AI and automation, their curiosity becomes a superpower.

I love it when leaders ask me one of the following:

“Can we automate X?”
“Is it possible to do Y?”
I love them because the answer is almost always yes.

Even better… Often, I explain it’s already possible to automate even more than they asked…

They thought their question was already too “wild” to be possible.

I live for these moments:

the jaws dropping,
the eyes wide open,
the eyebrows shooting up,
the “No way!” reactions.

Just last week, I spoke with a CEO who already uses ChatGPT every day.

He pastes in emails, explains the context, and then writes a reply for each employee.

“You don’t need to repeat yourself. Just create a Custom GPT for each person,” I told him.

He stared at me, eyes wide: “So all I have to do is paste the email into the right GPT, and it gives me the answer?”

But that was just the start.

I explained how, with n8n, he could have every email read automatically, identify which ones need action, generate task lists, even create ClickUp tasks and draft personalized responses… All with the right context.

And if he wanted, he could add a quick review step (so-called “Human in the loop”) before anything was sent.

He was stunned. Jaw on the floor.

You could almost hear his brain firing up, seeing a dozen new possibilities.

That’s what I love about these moments.

Curiosity turns into realization, then suddenly explodes into ideas.

Once leaders see what’s possible, their questions shift from “Can we automate X?” to “What else can we do?”

6. Smart Leaders Treat Process as the Foundation (aka “You Can’t Automate Chaos”)

This sentence gives away a leader with no clue: “I don’t care about the process, I just want to automate.”

Here’s the simple truth every leader must internalize:

Process first. Automation later.

Why? Because the latter can NOT exist without the former.

The most successful companies I work with don’t jump straight into building bots or agents.

They invest real time into mapping out their key processes, holding cross-team workshops, and defining clear steps.

Only then do they automate.

Because automating confusion only increases the mess.

7. Smart Leaders Move Now, Without Waiting for “Industry Case Studies”

Most industries don’t have polished AI case studies… Yet.

That’s exactly where the competitive edge is.

Smart leaders don’t wait for permission. They don’t wait for someone else in their industry to prove it first.

Instead, they take a risk. They bet on AI and automation before it’s “safe.” They put real money and resources behind it.

As a result, they grab the early-mover advantage — every single time.

They know being first means mistakes, but also means:

lower costs
attracting better hires
more resilient processes
more efficient operations
stronger employer branding
deeper AI & automation expertise
Alex — The CEO Who Waited for Permission
Alex runs a busy service business, managing complex projects for corporate clients. He loved the idea of using AI and automation to save time on admin and research.

But every conversation circled back to one objection:

“Kris, but you have NOT done this for companies like mine…”

Alex wanted the results, but hesitated to be first.

He didn’t see that most of his headaches (organizing inbox, collecting prices, making proposals) are the same everywhere.

These are process problems, not industry mysteries.

Alex ended up staying on the fence, waiting for someone else in his field to move first.

So, if you’re hesitating because you haven’t seen “your” case study, ask yourself: “Is this really an industry problem, or just a process problem waiting to be solved?”

Alumni / Higher Education Is About to Change Forever—Thanks to AI Agents

« on: June 22, 2025, 01:02:43 PM »

Artificial intelligence is moving quickly into the workplace, but not always in the ways people expect. A new study out of Stanford University which surveyed 1,500 U.S. professionals across 104 occupations, offers a rare, detailed look at how workers across industries want AI agents to be used in their jobs. Instead of asking what AI could automate, researchers asked workers what they’d prefer it to automate—or augment—and how much human involvement should remain.

Roughly 46% of tasks were flagged by workers as appropriate for automation, particularly repetitive or time-consuming activities like appointment scheduling, routine reporting, and data entry. For 45% of occupations, the most common preference was equal partnership between humans and AI. This suggests a strong interest in AI systems that collaborate, rather than replace.

These findings have immediate implications for higher education. The sectors studied reflect many of the careers students are preparing to enter.

Universities Seizing The Agentic AI Advantage

McKinsey’s Seizing the Agentic AI Advantage report notes that while 78% of companies have deployed generative AI tools, only a small fraction report meaningful impact. Most companies start with tools like Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, or Google Gemini. These are typically horizontal copilots—general-purpose tools for writing, summarizing, or brainstorming across many roles.

The issue is that many organizations stop there, using GenAI tools as assistants for individual productivity (such as helping an employee write emails or draft a document). These use cases often don’t change how work is structured, so the impact remains limited.

McKinsey contrasts this with agentic AI systems that are embedded into workflows. These systems take action, make decisions within guardrails, and solve problems in a domain-specific, goal-oriented way (like admissions, student advising, or academic research support). These vertical agents, when built with clear integration into business processes, are what lead to meaningful impact.

At Georgia State University, for example, an AI agent named Pounce proactively reminds students about deadlines, financial aid steps, and registration. A randomized controlled trial showed that students who interacted with Pounce were 3% more likely to persist to the next semester. For low-income, Pell-eligible students, the intervention reduced the likelihood of receiving D or F grades, or withdrawing (“DFW”) by around 20%.

The University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business has piloted a virtual teaching assistant built on Google’s Gemini model. The AI program helps students reason through finance and analytics problems using guided prompts and Socratic questioning. It also provides instructors with insights on where students are struggling.

Penn State University is launching MyResource, notes IBM. It’s an agentic AI assistant trained on institution-specific data that helps students navigate services across advising, mental health, financial aid, and more. The assistant will operate 24/7 and is designed to deliver accurate, personalized recommendations.

In admissions, the University of West Florida deployed an AI-powered recruiting agent that engages prospective students across multiple channels. The tool led to a 32% increase in graduate admissions yield, according to University Business. Also in admissions, Unity Environmental University’s agent Una guides prospective students through finding a program and completing an application, which helps to reduce friction in the enrollment process.

Beyond student-facing tools, InsideTrack, a national student success nonprofit, is developing an internal data agent that reads coaching notes and flags emerging themes for human staff to act on. It’s not a replacement for coaching—it’s a backend agent for surfacing patterns and reducing manual analysis.

While these examples show early results, many institutions remain cautious or unclear on how to proceed. For institutions seeking to move forward, a few steps can help ensure responsible and strategic adoption:

Start with clear use cases. Identify where students or staff experience friction—advising bottlenecks, administrative delays, repetitive outreach—and explore whether an AI agent could assist.

Pilot and iterate. Small-scale trials, like using an agent in a course or a department, allow for safe experimentation. Monitor impact and adjust.

Keep humans in the loop. Most successful deployments combine AI automation with human judgment. Set boundaries for where human oversight is required.

Establish guidelines. Align AI adoption with institutional values. Clarify what is acceptable for coursework, communication, and data handling.

Invest in training. Faculty, staff, and students need support in understanding how to work alongside AI. This includes both technical and ethical dimensions.

Collaborate. Share learnings across institutions, especially as standards and practices continue to evolve.

The message from the workforce survey respondents is clear: AI’s value is in working alongside humans—streamlining drudgery, supporting expertise, and amplifying what we do best.

Colleges and universities that want to prepare students for the reality of modern work must stop viewing AI as an add-on or a passing trend. Agentic AI is shaping how admissions, advising, learning, and student support are delivered and producing measurable results. Yet many institutions are hesitating at the start, perhaps waiting for perfect answers.

The time to act is now. Start small, stay strategic, and put human needs at the center of every deployment. Pilot practical solutions, invest in skills and ethics training, and build on what works. Most importantly, ensure that every step forward is guided by the lived realities and aspirations of both students and staff.

The future of work—and higher education—will be defined by those who can leverage AI as a true collaborator. As agentic AI moves from buzzword to campus backbone, the colleges and universities willing to lead will shape not only their own futures, but the futures of all those they serve.

Alumni / Tips On How to Stop Being Sad and Stay Awesome

« on: June 05, 2022, 12:41:28 AM »

It does feel bad when feeling sad. How to Stop Being Sad? Yes, it's time to drop the spoon, and let's get you out of the dark - because we've asked professionals how to defeat the Blues. See, you're already (almost) laughing. This article will give an overview of how to stop being sad in the shortest possible time.

There are some things in life that will make us unhappy, and we will most likely be unable to alter them. I simply desired to appreciate you once more. If we are unable to change the unpleasant parts of our lives that cause us to feel unhappy, the best we can do is learn how to quit being sad.

Sadness and sadness are unavoidable aspects of life that we cannot avoid; what we can do, however, is strive not to stay unhappy and go on with our lives.

How to Stop Being Sad

Knowing how to stop being sad is a vital part of our lives since it is difficult to be happy and content if we give in to the unpleasant aspects of life.

Instead of embracing weepy, tearjerkers, McMillan recommends picking up an uplifting book, listening to pleasant music, or watching a few feel-good movies. Alternatively, you may volunteer, work on a difficult jigsaw puzzle, or care for your beautiful plants, all of which are activities or hobbies you like.

It might appear out of nowhere, with no rhyme or reason, or it can occur after a heartbreaking breakup, the death of a loved one, or any other extremely trying period.

It might creep up on you slowly, like black clouds before a storm, or it can strike without warning. We all feel sadness in some form or another, yet it may be quite tough to overcome. Here is some possible solution on how to stop being sad:

Once you have an ugly cry until your eyes are lit, it's time to draw on things. This can take days, weeks, or months. "Grief doesn't live in a timeline," Levin says, but you can't stay in the dark hole forever.

Moving ahead in life keeps you from being stuck. It permits you to keep your pace without getting distracted by life's myriad distractions. Similarly, the ability to move on allows you to perceive fresh possibilities while others only see issues.

Any minor unpleasant occurrence may easily absorb and engulf any positive aspects of our existence. Things may not appear to be going well right now. But if you keep pushing, doing new things, and discovering new things, brighter days will come.

9. Get Some Physical Activity

If you want to learn how to quit being unhappy, you should start exercising, even if you haven't done so previously. Physical fatigue is a fantastic approach to avoiding being unhappy for a while because it has been scientifically shown that physical activity causes your body to release hormones that promote happiness and wellness. Riding horse is a great way of exercising regularly.

10. Humorously set the bar lower

"Lay the foundation for success by taking the smallest possible incremental steps," advises Macmillan. Our life is full of many interesting facts and fugures that make us unbeliavly happy at the midway. Dont hesitate to celebrate small success or big for the betterment of the day with ecstacy. The unfortunate problem is that great matters and crazy things there are many instances where a manager in this position will have sufficient information or cause for achievement to be aware that something is happening that should not be, but they fail to take action for a number of reasons. Copy editors and acquisition editors are book editors available for hire. Because they help authors edit their manuscripts,  copy editors collaborate with authors. The concept of supervisory negligence includes situations when you assert that you were ignorant of information that, if you had been performing your job correctly, you should have known. For example , you cannot utilize the age-old defense of placing a telescope to your blind concept of supervisory eye as a defense situations (assuming you have one good eye). Discover what makes a work enjoyable as you continue reading to learn more about the highest and lowest-paying careers in America. How much money can you make performing enjoyable jobs ? What really defines an enjoyable job? Jobs with the Highest and Lowest Pay. in the U.S. job? Even though surgeons are among the best-paid workers in the country. For example, you brushed your teeth, hoorah!

You made some coffee, there you go! "Once you move you may be surprised that you feel inspired to do more," she says as the answer to how to stop being sad. A healthy diet and
drink is a fundamental of a decent life.

Department of Innovation & Entrepreneurship / 10 Importance of Entrepreneurship in 21st Century

« on: May 19, 2022, 01:54:16 AM »

Entrepreneurs take the overall civilization of progress and prosperity to the economy and society. Assessing the importance of entrepreneurship is one of the key deciders about the future of any business. Also, a holistic approach to executing models based on the importance of entrepreneurship.

In view of this, we can describe the Importance of Entrepreneurship below.

Entrepreneurship has the following importance:

1. Nurture Innovation

Entrepreneurship is the incubator of innovation. In the current state of innovation, it causes illness.

It goes beyond the invention and implements and commercializes the innovation. This is the way some people are determined to do something different in career.

"Leapfrog" is being contributed by innovation, research, and development entrepreneurs.

As such, entrepreneurial nurses are innovations that provide new initiatives, products, technologies, markets, good quality standards, etc. that enhance the overall product of the country and the quality of life of the people.

2. Contribute to the production of new products

A new entrepreneur for research and development programs is exploring the possibilities of new products based on new methods and inventions, and new products are available in the market. Assessing the importance of entrepreneurship is one of the key deciders about the future of any business.

3. Help in removing regional discrimination

Entrepreneurs have played an important role in removing regional inequality and economic backwardness.

Private entrepreneurs also attract the government to set up industries in the western region. The retreat area was developed by creating land and capital for them. Here lies the inspiration to stay motivated in struggle and challenges.

4. Capital formation is helpful

According to King's Nascast, "Academicism in developing countries can only play an important role in breaking the capital's invisible castle and providing economic power to build capital.

In some countries, the capital is derived from the public and invested for productive purposes. This is a true symbol of the rising demand for shares and debentures.

5. Encourage investigation and research

Since the main task of entrepreneurs is to adopt innovation, it encourages the development of economics and the scientific spirit of research, investigation, and innovation.

In this way, the interests of the entire society are promoted. The vital thing one needs to ensure is the good work ethic.

6. Create employment opportunities

Unemployed people in society get the highest employment opportunities, directly and indirectly through the expansion of new products, new enterprises, and markets, which help alleviate the country's poverty.

According to Nursk, "Entrepreneurs broaden the balance of the way to economic development, which frees the country from a vicious circle of poverty." In this regard, Ribbs also states that "in developing countries, entrepreneurship provides employment opportunities."

7. Development and expansion of existing initiatives

Peter F. According to Drucker, "entrepreneurship plays an important role in the development, innovation, and expansion of the business."

The entrepreneurs make regular efforts to modernize their existing ventures, modernize existing production processes, produce new products, develop their market, and increase the number of products to grow customers.

As such, these are the importance of entrepreneurship in the modern economy in a productive way.

8. Newmarket development

The entrepreneur is constantly trying to maintain a regular supply of its products in the existing market. Along with that, he also works for new market exploration and development of existing markets that facilitate market expansion.

9. Establish new industry initiatives

Business and industry entrepreneurs are not only hesitant to take initiatives, but they are taking new initiatives to make the country self-sufficient.

For example, in India, Tata, Birla, Dalmia, Mufatlal, Singhania, Bajaj, and Ambani are among the various entrepreneurs who have set up various initiatives to develop the national economy. Don't be sad as there are many ways to smile.

10. Change social structure

Entrepreneurs are instrumental in making social change acceptable to society. Superstitions and traditional systems have lost their grounds and society now accepts scientific attitudes.

In this way the entrepreneur takes society forward by adopting new technology, adopting new strategies, establishing new industrial businesses, creating new employment opportunities, and creating new and progressive environments.

Mind Mapping / How to Stop Being Sad and Stay Awesome

« on: May 09, 2022, 04:35:13 PM »

It does feel bad when feeling sad. How to Stop Being Sad? Yes, it's time to drop the spoon, and let's get you out of the dark - because we've asked professionals how to defeat the Blues. See, you're already (almost) laughing. This article will give an overview of how to stop being sad in the shortest possible time.

How to Stop Being Sad

Here is some possible solution on how to stop being sad:

1. Don't feel bad if you feel bad

When something negative happens in your life - a breakup, a death, a job loss. For example - it might feel like your world is ending, so it's normal to feel awful.

"All emotions are important to feel and can have valuable information about our lives," said Dr. Laurie Rocamore of Ceri di, "consider this an opportunity to learn, grow and seek the true healing," said Brianna Borten, CEO of the wellness company DragonTree.

2. Determine why you are sad first

Sometimes it's easy to pinpoint the reason you get worse - as you simply can't get over your ex. Other times you may be sad for no understandable reason.

When life coach, radio host and author Sunny Joy Macmillan advises, try putting out a pen and paper in this case and "write without pausing for five minutes."

He calls these brain dumping calls You can also try journaling, meditation, yoga, or any other exercise that will help you focus on your heart. You can also practice solving quizzes or puzzles.

3. Then, let it hit

When you completely avoid suffering, you are actually doing more harm than good. Life coach and author Nancy Levin says, "What you do not feel you cannot cure. This is the way how do you stop being sad.

In other words, stop rocking-shopping, spin off your back-to-back spin classes, and stop tequila shots (or whatever else).

No matter how uncomfortable it may be, embracing your grief is the first step to feeling good.

4. Try yelling at it

Levin said that while he was sad, he liked to do something that he called "crashing" music, while that might seem counter-intuitive, he was actually into something, "only people display sensitive crying," Dr. Matt Bales, Says Ph.D., psychologist, and author.

And not to get too much science-fiction, Bayless says a biochemical analysis of the tears found an endorphin called leucine-enkephalin, which is known to reduce pain and improve mood. So, let those tears flow!

5. Now, try moving forward

Once you have an ugly cry until your eyes are lit, it's time to draw on things. This can take days, weeks, or months. "Grief doesn't live in a timeline," Levin says, but you can't stay in the dark hole forever.

6. Humorously set the bar lower

"Lay the foundation for success by taking the smallest possible incremental steps," advises Macmillan. For example, you brushed your teeth, hoorah!

You made some coffee, there you go! "Once you move you may be surprised that you feel inspired to do more," she says as the answer to how to stop being sad.

7. Find what pleases you (And laughter)

It is the opposite of a crush. Instead, choose a few writers, musicians, and/or movies that make you feel truly beautiful, Macmillan suggests. You are attracted to something that gives you a broader perspective on life or just a simple, silly joke, pick up work that raises your soul. Take it.

Even a cat video on YouTube can be helpful! "Laughter can be a terrific coping mechanism in response to pain and grief," Bayless says, "while laughter releases endorphins, such as exercise, reduce stress hormone cortisol and increases dopamine (aka 'feeling-good-hormone')." Of course, the process of mourning is time. "So it's no shame to smile for a while," assures Bayles.

8. And look for your people

It's important to have a support network, especially if you're having a hard time. If you don't know where to start, "start doing things outside the room that other people are involved in," says Borten, for example, choosing something like a running club or photography class that usually interests you.

"You will be amazed at how quickly a community is formed" "and it's great to have IRL friends, even an online community that can be kind and responsive.

Try searching Facebook for groups that might be able to offer support - for example, bereavement/bereavement support groups.

Or, interested parties (travel? Cooking? Even crochet!) Find like-minded people who can encourage your spirituality with a common passion. Just "make sure an online group is a loving place that engages people with a common goal."

9. Re-publish your thoughts

Let's say after the breakup, you keep telling yourself that you will never find love again. After all, you feel like your heart has been ripped off with a butter knife, and even seeing the wedding cigar over and over again has not helped.

It's time to change your negative narrative (therapists call this strategy cognitive restructuring). For example, Macmillan says, instead of saying to yourself, "I'll be alone forever," try saying "I will find love again." (Or even a speech like "I can get love again," even better!) You will feel more at peace and less sad and eventually you will believe it.

10. Spend time in nature

Rockmore suggests experiencing the outdoors in your five senses. He calls it "behavioral activation," focusing on what you see, feel, hear, smell and possibly taste in nature, maybe free of your difficulty.

"Getting out of hibernation and staying active stimulates the nervous system and gives people a chance to see the beauty of the world," says Rockland.

11. Looking for help

If your grief goes beyond the blues - your sleep patterns and eating habits, you're not interested in the activities you enjoy - you owe it to yourself to feel better.

Self-help books are a good tool: Rockmore's Happiness Trap and Beat the Blues recommend before you hit. However, if it is overwhelming to cope alone, talking to a physician can be extremely helpful in how to stop being sad.

Psychic Development / Hacks On Learning to Forgive Yourself from Sincere Heart

« on: April 30, 2022, 12:22:35 PM »

There is no productive way to cope with the sting of remorse. As difficult as it may seem, giving up guilt and shame is an essential part of moving beyond a wrong or embarrassing situation.

You make yourself feel worthless by your actions. You are apprehensive about taking healthy risks. You're on the verge of giving up. You don't strive to improve things because you don't believe you deserve to improve them. Even if one cannot change how one reacts to other situations, we can always change our own viewpoint. Finally here to forgive yourself - or at least try.

Let's find below some tips for learning to forgive yourself from the heart:

1. Remember that it is okay to feel guilty

The simple phrase feel terrible is one of the most popular ways to convey feeling guilty: I felt horrible because I knew I'd let them down. People might feel guilty for a number of reasons, including acts they have performed (or believe they have committed), failures to accomplish what they should have done, or morally incorrect ideas.

Once you've accepted that feeling guilty about accomplishment is entirely natural and appropriate, and you've allowed yourself to feel it, it's time to work through it. Journaling about your feelings might be a good approach to getting through them.

"Every emotion we have serves a purpose," says LCSW Jenny Scott regarding learning to forgive yourself. Happiness tells us something is going well and encourages us to connect with others. Grief tells us that we have lost something. It is the same with guilt. "

2. Mistakes help us transform advanced people

When we learn to feel guilty feelings as a way of getting information, we are already healing from our mistakes. "Guilt allows us to know that our actions or behaviors are in conflict with our values ​​and beliefs," says Scott regarding the importance of learning to forgive yourself. "It also helps us recover damages that can be sustained thanks to an accident or an accident"

3. Understand the difference between guilt and shame

“Feeling of guilt serves a purpose. Don't be shy, "said Scott. With guilt, you know exactly what you did wrong, why you made a mistake, and how you can repair the situation.

There is nothing left to do. The shame is a bit tactical. With shame, you may feel that you are the ultimate. Staying down and there is no way to rise, which is not a helpful way to heal, he says.

4. You admit to the rumble

Everyone fights to admit that they have done something bad, but denial is how people get into deeper problems. You can blame the training fatigue or forget your mother-in-law's birthday because you were "so busy" only.

5. Own your mistakes

"Often, we use denial as a way to protect ourselves from the negative emotions of shame and guilt," Scott says. "And it might be more convenient to believe that we didn't do anything wrong, but the situation never helps. Ignoring a problem does not remove it ”

The worst thing you can do is become trapped in a mistake and then regret it for the rest of your life. You should never become trapped in a certain stage of your life, attempt, or activity. Consider errors to be the place where you go every day for your singing lessons. You go there, study, and then return home, but one thing that everyone takes away from the class is lessons, and the same can be said about your flaws.

6. Apologize to anyone who may hurt you

Of course, your first incentive is to correct a relationship or belief that may have been violated. The only way to do it right is to take the complete step in your guilt and admit the guilt. It is a good reflection of learning to forgive yourself.

Clinical psychologist and author of How to Be Yourself, Dr. Ellen Hendrickson says: "Apologize sincerely and do your best to correct any outstanding mistakes: calm down your inner critic and raise social concerns. Be sure to listen and open. Stress now or don't ask for forgiveness from them or even ever.

You can't control when or if someone else forgives you. But if you do your best to make amends, you can move forward. If they ask that person, give them space.

7. Give yourself more space

Imagine what forgiveness would look like. One of the things we can do is look at the scene in which we have been forgiven. How does your body look when emotions arise? What steps will you take? A clear idea of ​​how you will feel forgiveness inside and out can help you to achieve true self-forgiveness.

Some individuals struggle with self-forgiveness because they refuse to allow it and prefer to suffer in guilt. They can take it to mean that they're being forgiven and that they'll be able to do more harmful things in the future. Narcissists and idealists do not forgive themselves because they refuse to recognize they have made errors.

It's important to remember that it's normal to feel guilty. However, there is a distinction to be made between guilt and shame. Recognize that you made a mistake. Please apologize to everyone you may have offended. Make a letter of apology to yourself. Take mental and physical care of oneself. Patience is required. Don't attempt to persuade them to change.

Time is running out. Your competitors are running faster. They are on track with speed. You have to be faster. We live in an era where competition is higher. Gradually it is going to make your existence toughest.

You cannot do anything overnight. And your time is limited. Be faster than your competitors move. Also, be faster so that any other entrepreneurs cannot supersede you from the back. Use your time productively. You are in your race where you have no way but to be the champion.

8. Be different, unique with blue ocean strategy

Doing business on a new idea that is unique in many ways. When you develop a blue ocean idea, you have many possibilities to be successful sooner in order to learn how to defeat competitors in business.

It is helpful in many ways. The union is a strength. You can create synergy when you are tied up with another competitor. You can make up for your shortcomings.

Other entrepreneurs can teach you many lessons. Partnership in exchange for goods, finance, products, intellectual property, expertise, manpower, and the business deal should be good enough for your growth.

We wish to dwell each day with a transparent intention to get nearer to reaching our targets and residing a cheerful, profitable life. We wish to get higher each day however we by no means really soar off.

Essentially the most highly effective type of motivation comes from self-motivation. You may mild your personal hearth.

It isn't sufficient merely to attend for inspiration to start out you shifting ahead. It doesn’t need to be one thing that occurs to you, it may be one thing that you simply create.

All progress and motivation begin with taking motion. One motion will result in one other. The motion will create higher outcomes and new experiences for you.

When my teaching purchasers are affected by distraction, I merely get them to start out taking motion. To get fired up. To do one thing particular.

This can be getting up earlier or committing to doing the train every day. Even when it’s doing one thing for simply 5 minutes, it’s usually that little push that is sufficient to get them going.

Should you give attention to a small variety of issues to create the change you need, it might probably have a dramatic impact on your online business and life.

11 ways to apply realistic Affirmation for motivation

Listed here are 11 issues you are able to do proper now to take that soar and within the course of accelerating mind energy, reminiscence, and affirmation for motivation.

1. Enhance Your energy

Power is a big motivator. If we're fired up or enthusiastic about somebody or one thing, we're often very motivated.

Take into consideration the final time you achieved one thing essential. I’m guessing your vitality and motivation were excessive?

Should you’ve crushed your finest time on the observe, or misplaced the load you needed, or received an enormous piece of business, your vitality will probably be sky excessive and it would be best to dive again in once more to enhance your earlier efficiency.

After we are excited and motivated concerning the issues we're doing, we deliver excessive ranges of vitality.

2. Set Measurable Targets

This follows on properly from the earlier level. Once I work with teaching purchasers we all the time set particular, measurable 90 Day Targets.

That is nice for motivation and coaching the mind to focus solely on issues which might be particular and measurable.

After we are making actual progress in the direction of our targets, it makes us rather a lot happier. We're motivated and impressed.

All of us since the place we're within the current second. The previous has gone and the longer term is properly the longer term.

On this current second, we really feel like we’re making progress, shifting ahead in the correct route or we’re not. We can’t cease time. We are able to solely make higher use of our time.

Learning English / How to start speaking english without hesitation for beginner?

« on: April 08, 2022, 12:06:15 PM »

How to start speaking English without hesitation for a beginner? To become a fluent English speaker, you don't need to go anyplace. All you have to do is surround yourself with English speakers.

You may do this by agreeing with your existing buddies to solely speak English. You may also bring an iPod with you and listen to English sentences all the time.

As you can see, adjusting your environment can help you accomplish outcomes. Immerse yourself in English and you will learn much more quickly. In this article, we learn more about how to start speaking English without hesitation for beginners?

How to start speaking English without hesitation for a beginner?

Here are some tips on how to start speaking English without hesitation for beginners?

1. Don't spend too much time studying grammar

Many ESL students may find this rule weird, yet it is one of the most crucial. If you want to pass your exams, you should learn grammar. If you want to learn English fluently, however, you should try to learn English without studying grammar.

Grammar study will just slow you down and make you confused. Instead of naturally expressing a statement like a native, you will think about the rules while making sentences.

 Keep in mind that only about 20% of English speakers are familiar with all of the grammatical rules.

Many ESL students have a better command of the English language than native speakers. This is something I can safely state based on my own personal experience.

2. Do not attempt to translate

When you wish to make an English sentence, don't use terms from your own tongue. You will be both sluggish and inaccurate if you do this because the sequence of the words is likely to be radically different.

Rather, memorize phrases and sentences so you don't have to think about what you're saying. It should be self-contained.

Another issue with translating is that you will be attempting to combine previously acquired grammatical standards. It is wrong and should be avoided to translate and think about grammar to generate English sentences.

There are also others that study overseas yet get very little knowledge. This is due to the fact that they attended an English-speaking school but made friends with people from their home country and did not practice English.

3. Study and learn phrases

Many children acquire vocabulary and strive to string together many words to form a whole phrase. It astounds me how many words some of my pupils know yet cannot string together into a whole phrase.

The reason for this is that they failed to learn phrases. Children acquire both words and phrases when they learn a language. You must also study and memorize phrases.

You might not be able to say even one right phrase if you know 1000 words. However, knowing only one phrase allows you to construct hundreds of right phrases.

 You'll be shocked at how many correct statements you can speak if you know 100 phrases. Finally, knowing merely 1000 phrases will make you virtually a native English speaker.

4. Immerse yourself in the water

The ability to communicate in a foreign language has nothing to do with intelligence. Any language may be learned by anyone.

This is a universally acknowledged truth. Everyone is able to communicate in at least one language. You can only speak one language, regardless of whether you are bright or not.

This was accomplished by constantly being exposed to that language. Your native tongue is continuously heard and spoken in your nation. You'll note that many people who are good English speakers attended an English language school.

They can communicate in English not because they attended to an English-speaking school, but because they grew up in an atmosphere where they were continuously surrounded by English-speaking individuals.

5. Speak more and more

Reading and listening alone are insufficient. Make it a habit to speak what you hear! The most crucial parts of any language are reading, listening, and speaking. The same may be said about English. To be fluent, however, speaking is the sole necessity.

It is common for newborns and youngsters to learn to talk first, become fluent in their language, then begin reading, and finally write. Listening, speaking, reading, and writing are the natural order of things.

The First Issue

Isn't it odd that reading comes first in classrooms across the world, followed by writing, listening, and lastly speaking? Although it is distinct, the major reason is that learning a second language needs reading content in order to comprehend and master it.

Even though the natural sequence is hearing, speaking, reading, and writing, ESL students should read, listen, talk, and write in that order.

The Second Issue

Many people can read and listen because that is all they have ever done. However, speaking practice is required in order to speak English fluently. Don't just listen while you're listening, and don't just listen when you're studying.

Make the content you're listening to audible and practice what you've learned. Practice speaking aloud until your lips and brain are able to do so effortlessly. You will be able to communicate successfully in English as a result of this.

6. Correct stuff should be studied

"Practice makes perfect," is a familiar statement that is false. This could not be further from the truth. It is only through practice that you can make what you are practicing permanent.

 You will have perfected pronouncing the statement wrong if you rehearse the incorrect sentence. As a result, it's critical that you study stuff that most people are familiar with.

Another issue I find is that many pupils are interested in current events. The language they employ, on the other hand, is more formal, and the material they use is more political and not common in everyday life.

Understanding what they're saying is crucial, however, this is a more difficult topic that should be studied after mastering the fundamentals of English.

Take away

It's both excellent and harmful to study English with a person who isn't a natural English speaker. You should be aware of the benefits and drawbacks of conversing with a non-native speaker.

Practicing with a non-native speaker will help you improve your skills. You may also encourage one another and point out common errors.

However, if you are unsure of what constitutes a correct and inappropriate statement, you may take up undesirable habits from one another. As a result, utilize these practice hours as an opportunity to go over the subject you learned. It is not necessary to learn how to speak a sentence.

These are the guidelines that will assist you in achieving your goal of fluency in English. I hope you have learned well how to start speaking English without hesitation for beginners. Now it's time to apply!
