PSI Tutor:Mentor

Some people are beautiful to be around and make life meaningful in ways that a landscape or seaplains cannot.  Such is today’s Sunday Selection of blogs and articles; thoughtful in their consideration of others and and the interconnections of life. A marvelous read for the student struggling for purpose in the face of mountains of  academic challenges.

Get jiggy with it and ride the storms~ these posts will aid you to embrace the adventure of life as you know it at this time. Enjoy …

With a focus on community engagement, David of Raptitude sends all readers a delightful Good Morning message. The comments on his post indicate sincere appreciation for a message that took the time to keep the individual in mind.

There is an Experiments tab on the site~ which encourages the practical use of theories and philosophies that one aligns themselves to, mentally. David’s reports are interesting and fun.

The use of experiments are a great idea for students too.  Using a blog or other journal format you can create and add to your won reflective journal of life experiences. Many undergraduates are expected to write reflective essays or to design research studies and to collect data.

Experiments are a practical way to apply learnt knowledge. To identify the structures/concepts that you are aware of; how others explain them; and how they operate in your own life (and quite possibly in others).

Praxis of research design, operationalisation of variables , collection and analysis choices, and subsequent discussion insights, leads to successful answering of research questions.

Janice over at Sharing the Journey shares a delightful article titled, How to Harness the Power of Authenticity in Your Writing and Your Life. Her homelife coaching insights can be adapted to apply theories/models from uni. Again, the reading here is an opprotunity as a student to develop your  skills as a leader and evidence-based professional.

Finally, Chris of The Art of Nonconformity has written a reflective post about how to map out your year (or months/days) ahead with How to Conduct You Own Annual Review. This is of help to the student, not just because it involves outlining, planning and reviewing, but in setting goals that are measurable. Chris even provides a spreadsheet template!

What are ways that you as a student practice thoughtfulness?
