I Finished with a First-Class Honours in Psychology

For those who have been reading my blog for some years now, you would know all about me going back to university in 2019 to start a degree in psychology. Well, I finished some weeks ago and my final results were finally released last week. I am very proud and excited to say I finished with a First Class Honours in Psychology! I am still buzzing from the whole excitement of finishing strong. It was not easy but so worth it. I still remember having to study pretty much everyday throughout my degree. I hardly took time off study. It was a lot of work and dedication. It was by no means easy but it came natural.

I am looking to carry on building my connections in the amazing world of psychology. I truly love studying about the human mind and it’s amazing possibilities. It is such an intriguing field and i am so looking forward to specialising in the next few months and seeing where all these takes me.

If you are a mature student with work and kids (like me) who is contemplating going back to university to retrain or to study for yourself, my advice is to go for it and give it your all. You never know where it might lead you and even if it doesn’t work out as you thought it would have, at least you would know you have tried, and you can happily off the list of what you want to do.

I was also wondering, are there any psychologists (or those interested in the world of psychology) reading this blog post? I have interests mainly in health psychology and clinical psychology, but I am also open to other parts of psychology. It would lovely to hear from other Psychology graduates too! Do let me know.

Thanks for reading, stay safe.

 

How to take care of yourself using natural products

*Collaborative post.

Lifestyle Blogger image

Aromatherapy uses essential oils to treat and enhance well-being as a natural health alternative. Its action is both physical and mental: the properties of plants can help relieve small everyday ailments and promote relaxation.

Besides, you can use CBD to take care of your skin, body, muscles and more. Justbob sells natural CBD products, and you will be sure to have the best quality at the best price.

Here are a few tips for feeling good in your body and mind…

Alternative medicines to be more serene

Alternative medicines can also become natural allies in changing your vision of well-being. There are so many of them; there is something for everyone: naturopathy, sophrology, hypnotherapy, magnetism, life coaching, art therapy, etc.

And their benefits are numerous! Alternative medicines can treat headaches, stress, anxiety, phobias, stomach aches, allergies, skin problems, back pain, addiction, insomnia… They can also help with personal and professional development.

Alone or complemented with a cannabidiol-based product (CBD oil, hemp infusion, CBD flower…), alternative medicines can help you boost your general well-being.

Reconnect with your body through meditation

Meditation is a mind-training practice that promotes mental well-being. Meditation aims to take our thoughts out of our control and free us from the negative ruminations that prevent us from moving forward in our lives through relaxation and concentration techniques.

What about yoga, for example?

In fact, several alternative medicine professions offer meditation sessions! And what’s more, cannabidiol can also be an interesting ally here!

Eat a healthy diet without restricting yourself

Dieticians repeat it often enough: adopting a healthy diet means varying the foods you eat and eating them in reasonable quantities. No food is forbidden as long as it is consumed in moderation! The Mediterranean diet with fatty fish, legumes (lentils, chickpeas), fruit and vegetables is mainly well known for developing good memory and concentration. It is one of the best health diets with foods that are good for your mood and body!

Do regular physical activity

Sport is beneficial from all points of view: it provides health benefits by maintaining the body and mind (prevention of chronic diseases, increase in life expectancy, reduction in the risk of obesity, secretion of endorphins, etc.), but it also creates social links through clubs or associations. The French Ministry of Health recommends that people do at least 30 minutes of physical activity daily.

A source of well-being is accessible to all and with immediate effect!

Airing your body and mind

Take a breath of fresh air in the nearby park in the city or the paths surrounding your country house, and enjoy the well-being that the sun’s rays bring to our skin… The sight of a beautiful landscape provides an immediate emotion and well-being. Did you know that 15 minutes of daily exposure to the sun is enough to meet your daily vitamin D needs?

Going for a 30-minute walk every day helps to reduce stress and, in addition to being active, to meditate!

CBD in your wellness routine

Legal cannabis, or CBD, is increasingly becoming a staple in our bathrooms, kitchens and bedrooms. It is becoming a part of our daily lives in all forms but with a single objective: well-being. Whether it’s to give you energy in the morning (in coffee, for example) or to relax in the evening in an infusion, cannabidiol can help you in your daily life. Anti-stress, relaxing, painkiller, sleep aid… CBD has not said its last word! Cannabidiol can also be used with some of the following natural tips. In this way, you can ensure optimal relaxation and well-being.

CBD would have an effect on mood and promote well-being

Thanks to its relaxing action on emotional stress, anxiety, sleep and pain, CBD would naturally improve mood and help to manage emotions better.

CBD represents a natural ally in relieving the various ailments of everyday life and taking care of oneself naturally.

How to take CBD?

One of the other therapeutic advantages of CBD is that it can be taken in different ways.

Depending on individual preferences and needs, cannabidiol can be taken orally or sublingually by inhalation or skin application.

The most common form of CBD consumption is CBD oil.

Place a few drops of oil under the tongue to quickly feel the effects. Or it can be added to a drink (coffee, tea, herbal tea, etc.) or applied to the skin.

It is also possible to consume CBD in the form of capsules, chewing gums, candies, gummies, infusions, cosmetic products for the body and face (balm, care, cream, gel …) or e-liquids.

The organic CBD oils each have a different field of action: stress and anxiety, sleep and pain.

They are mainly based on pure and natural avocado oil and sweet almond oil. Indeed, most classic CBD oils are made with refined coconut oil (MCT oil).

Furthermore, in addition to CBD, CBD sleep oil contains CBN (a phytocannabinoid with positive effects on sleep), and CBD oil is composed of CBG (another phyto cannabinoid with pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties).

A few drops of the oil are enough to feel the benefits of CBD. They can be taken sublingually or applied in a drink or on the skin.

Since they do not contain THC, the best CBD products do not harm health or cause side effects or addiction. They can be consumed at any time of the day to enjoy the benefits of CBD.
