The organic obsession – is it real?

We know it takes a lot to talk about this topic- but we are daring to do so! Today organic is the sacred word used by almost everyone in the world. You probably trust this label very blindly and that is why pick up everything that is labelled as “organic” pretty faster than the other items comparatively. But here the question is – is all that glitters really gold? Well, we think not! We think everything that’s termed as organic might not be actually of that quality and even if it is, do you benefit by following the rush of people after it?

What organic actually is?

So, right from the tea leaves that you pick up to the bread packet and even chicken is labelled as organic today. But do you know what actually organic is? It is a kind of food or daily use product that is brought into production without the use of harmful chemicals and pesticides. So far so good. Even the non vegetarian food items termed as organic are the ones that have the least number of injection induced into them. So basically, organic food is the one that’s processed and cultivated with natural methods and with almost no chemicals and artificial substances.

The logic behind these organic items found today!

If you understood the actual meaning of organic, you probably got the fact that it will take lots of time for the items to grow naturally. But how is this possible that you get so many variants of all these substances always available in surplus and restocked within not time in the stores? Hit a point, didn’t we?

Next, you have to accept the fact that no matter how much you prevent, some enough of chemicals and fertilisers are always used in the cultivation of the crops. The same goes in injecting the animals as well. So, they actually aren’t fully “organic” as they say and without any chemicals.

Thirdly, the products that are organic are said to be highly processed to get rid of the chemicals in them. Ok, we accept the fact! But won’t the nutritional value of these products decrease too when they are so much worked upon? What are you using or eating then? Just the remains of the original item?

Where are we heading then

This means that whatever products you are picking up because it’s labelled as organic might actually be the usual stuff you are having. And even if it’s organic as they say with so much of processing, then it won’t be at all beneficial to you now. So, why pay double the amount for these?

What are the other options available for you!

We know you are highly bothered about your health and the authenticity of the items that you use. But just going for the labelled organic isn’t the solution. What you can do is opt for the old school method of contacting the local farmers and get the vegetables directly from there. At least you get natural vegetation from its sources that is unprocessed. And for the shampoo and soaps that you use which are called organic by the companies so proudly might be full of alcohol and high level of alkaline. Why not contact the ones who make them at their place to get your hands at the purest product.

Until then let the scientists do their work of finding out if there items commonly called as organic are really beneficial for you or not. We think you should keep your obsession for organic aside for some time and think logically. Just following the flow of millions won’t bring you goodness and choosing something because of a certain label isn’t practical. Keep in mind to check the the actual ingredients and the process that goes in it while buying the products. Remember, organic isn’t just a term that you should trust, better rely on your instincts and then opt for a certain item!

Kid’s mental health and ways to tackle it!

With the recent rise in suicide cases, you are taking mental health very much seriously! But are you aware that not just yours, even your kid’s mental health is a critical issue. You might not be even aware but your children are equally vulnerable to stress, depression and hypertension attacks as you are. Shocked? Well, it’s the bitter truth of life. The most innocent creatures of Earth have to bear all these negativities and you are most of the times aren’t even aware of their dilemma. So how will you manage to help them out of this serious situation?

Some signs that point out your child is facing mental health issues!

After reading this post, we’re sure even you would be worried about your child’s mental health. The best way to find out if your child is facing any kind of depression, anxiety, tension or any other mental problem is to find the below listed signs in the child.

Constant sadness — It is a serious matter if your child is seen sad for two or more weeks.

Withdrawal symptoms — If your child is avoiding social interactions and showing major withdrawal symptoms, then obviously there’s something wrong here.

Disturbed sleep patterns — Generally, the kids who are facing mental health problems will either have issues falling to sleep or they’ll be drowsing almost all day. You’ll also notice such kids having lots of bad dreams that are often related to the mental issues they are facing.

Hurting oneself — Most of the times the children who are having mental health problems are seen hurting themselves. They would either bang heads on the wall, try to cut the wrist with the blade or even commit some suicidal actions.

Loud outbursts —You’ll find the child shouting very loudly when there’s even a small matter and sometimes controlling this child becomes very difficult.

Immediate steps to take after noticing these problems in your child!

If your child shows even a single symptom from the ones listed above, you shouldn’t delay in following these steps if you want to save their life, better future and proper health.

Talk to them openly — Nothing helps you more than talking the situation out! It’s time to be very frank with your child and inquire in detail of the problems your kid might be fighting alone with. Remember, being patient and polite is the key and stepping into the shoes of your child would make you aware of the situation and it’s seriousness better.

Consult a therapist — We always believe the stereotype that if you are visiting a psychiatrist for a therapist then your child is having some major mental disorder. How wrong could you be? You should consult a psychologist or a therapist even when you face smaller mental health issues. This ensures that you stay healthy and happy forever and aren’t facing major problems that might arise if you ignore these smaller issues. Ensure you are taking your child to a good therapist and help this kid get out of this serious situation.

Try to build your child’s confidence — It is very important to get your child confidence back. It’s important because if your child is badly bullied or facing depression, then obviously the kid’s confidence is badly shattered. Only you as a parent can do something to get this kid out of this tricky situation and be happy once again.

We just wish handling a child with mental health issues could be easier. But it’s actually very tricky. And as a parent; enduring all this might be really very tough. But if you want your kid to be always happy and have a better future, you better help the child out at this stage itself!

Jumping the stats on instagram!

As a blogger, I get dozens messages and inquiries to know the ifs and buts of influencing. And since instagram is the top trending medium to capture attention nowadays, no one is staying back to dive in this kaleidoscope of photos and reels. As far as you don’t drown yourself in the rush of 500 millions of users of this medium, it’s fine! But we are sure like everyone else, even you are looking to excel! And for excelling here, you need to consider the statistics very seriously!

For the ones who are still new to this, you are probably thinking what’s this so called new entry – statistics in your instagram page! Well, it’s the insights column that you get to see when you click on the three lines on the top right corner of your home page. This is everything that decides your success and failure of your instagram page. (Attaching a screenshot of my homepage for reference). When you click on this “insights” section, what do you get? Is it only minus sign showing off or it’s the glittering plus sign coming in greens? This is what let’s you understand if your efforts are going in the right direction or on the wrong side!

Ok, so now let’s directly concentrate on the main task of jumping your stats or reach on instagram! Just follow and pay more attention to these tips and tricks and you’ll find an increase in your audience in a relatively shorter time!

Hashtags aren’t the heroes!

Since Twitter invented the trend of hashtags in 2007, it grasped the attention of brands and common people tremendously. And if we believe the recent studies, an average instagram user adds around 10 hashtags in the post. But if you think that the addition of hashtags is bringing your posts anywhere better, then you are absolutely wrong here. In fact, it decreases your reach and exposure. If you really want to grab the attention of your viewers, use only 5 or 6 maximum, no more than that! (Your post gets pushed back due to the usage of the common tags) For example, the hashtag #love is used for around two million times on instagram daily. So, if you are adding it, your post gets vanished in this rush of millions of posts!

Remember young generation is your target

Targeting the right audience is the key to reach higher on instagram. And recent studies (2019) show that around 71% of your targeted audiences are between the age of 24-35! Check your insights once again and see if these are the most in your statistics! So, if you want to jump on your ranks here, create content that attracts them well. Otherwise, your content might just be in air trying to grasp the attention of your viewers.

Instagram stories are your catch

Do you know around 500% of instagram users just open this app to check the stories of other users? Well, this is also the medium through which you get a good catch on your account. Are your stories exciting? Do they have that unique X factor? We mean, come on! Why would anyone view your story? We see lots of beautiful faces dancing on Instagram! So, the moral is to create that content on your instagram that has the power to attract your viewers in a fraction of second. (With a promise to bring more awesome stuff consistently)

A brand should be specified

Are you a business brand? Well, if yes, then you have to specify on your Instagram page that you hold the proprietor right of some business. Do you know why this is important? Because around 50% of average instagram users follow businesses more. So, if you are specifying “business” of some kind on your page, it not only gets you good followers, but since you are easily accessible through messages, mails and calls. (This turns the tables for great profit of your business!)

Engagement is the award

Want to know if an Instagram profile is worth following? Well, then just check the engagement rate of that profile. By engagement rate we mean the number of likes, commands, and save that account’s posts get. Just calculate the average of the same with the number of followers that account has! Remember, to check the number of posts too. (Five posts with thousands followers isn’t just logical!) And you can even calculate yours keeping in mind all these 3 important items. Always remember, if your engagement rate is better, this is the award that you are getting. It actually shows whether you are going on the growing side Instagram or on the declining direction.

So much for making you aware of the Instagram statistics and insights. Just clearing the most significant point — the rise in followers of your page don’t prove that you got the much needs jump on instagram! It’s a handful of followers giving you the best engagement and encouragement that matters. And this can be checked regularly by the increasing percentage of your instagram insights!
