How to improve academic performance?

In today’s time, all our kids are getting their assignments and home works either through Whatsapp or Facebook groups.They deal with a lot of social media today, even if it is for academic purposes. And because they have to access their assignments on social media, they start surfing other things and end up spending more time there but doing work. All this definitely impacts their academic performance.


Why are our kids getting low grades?

  • Sharing of work on social media

  • Parental pressure to bring better marks

  • Not enough time to play and relax

  • Mis-managed schedule 

  • Being compared with other friends/cousins

  • Lack of interest in traditional topics


Consequences of low grade:

If our kids score low grades, they go through a lot of complications: short term or long term.

  • Lack of confidence 

  • Low self-esteem

  • Mental stress due to constant comparison with peers

  • Feeling of jealousy

  • Stressed and frustrated mind 

  • Feeling of not being accepted in friends

  • Suicidal tendencies


How to improve academic performance?


  1. Work backwards from set goals

If you study on the last day (i.e., just the day before your exam), your mind may not be able to take it all in. Rather decide and set your goals: weekly as well as monthly. This will give you a direction to study and prepare you for your exam better.


  1. Move and stretch your body in every 10 minutes

We, as humans, have a very short attention span. So we should move around every 10 minutes. This helps in increasing the flow of blood. Just walk and go to any window/table and stretch your legs there.  


  1. Don’t skip on the short breaks that refresh your brain

Take little breaks that help to refresh your brain. Monotony kills it all. 


  1. Spend time around those who motivate you 

Our company often does affect our attitude. If we have friends who do their work in time, we also tend to do our work quickly then. If we have friends with a very casual attitude, who always leave things for the last minute, we may get affected by them. SO ONE should choose his/her friends wisely.


  1. Use sensory organs 

Through regular cramming, one doesn’t learn anything. Rather should activity based learning or audio-visuals for better understanding and longer remembrance.

Tips to achieve Vairagya?

Here are the tips to achieve Vairagya: Practice humility in daily life Humility takes us towards Vairagya. There are various ways to develop humility in our attitude: We can try by offering a place to sit to elderly people, or children, or pregnant women.  We must help physically impaired people in various walks of life, maybe as small as a thing like helping a blind person cross the road.  We often dislike some people but we should never find happiness in their misery or suffering.  Never hesitate in apologizing.  Share food with people around us. Give your time and energy to people in need.    Control senses In Yoga, we believe to moderate all our activities and senses. All our actions should also be controlled.  When we have our favourite food in front of us we can’t control and continuously eat. We eat more than our appetite. We forget the sole purpose of food. We should only eat how much we should, we shouldn’t get drifted away with desire. Stop m...

Coping Up in the Modern World

In today’s world, everybody likes to live by their rules. Nobody wants to listen to anybody else who instructs them. They want to make their own mistakes and learn from them.  Parents want their children to listen to them and obey them. But children don’t want to be told what to do. The movie ‘Freaky Friday’ also shows the same. In the movie a mother and a daughter had a huge age gap and hence could not get along with each other. They go to a restaurant to eat dinner. There the mother forbids her daughter from going on a date. The daughter wants to go on the date and hence they keep arguing while biting their fortune cookies. After having fortune cookies they happen to switch their bodies and the mother gets into the daughter’s body while the daughter gets into the mother’s body.   After switching their bodies, they feel what the other person was saying and understand each other. Only selfless love for the other person can get this triggered.  All this doesn’t really happ...
