In this post, we'll share some tips and techniques to help reduce stress and anxiety so that you can lead a happier, healthier life.

What you should be doing: 

Practice mindfulness:

Mindfulness is a technique that involves being present and fully engaged in the moment. Mindfulness can help reduce stress and anxiety by helping you focus on the present moment and not worrying about the future or dwelling on the past. Try to incorporate mindfulness into your daily routine, whether it's through meditation, yoga, or just taking a few minutes to focus on your breathing.


Exercise regularly:

Exercise is a great way to reduce stress and anxiety. Physical activity releases endorphins, which are natural chemicals that make you feel good. Regular exercise can also help you sleep better, which can reduce stress and anxiety.


Get enough sleep: 

Lack of sleep can exacerbate stress and anxiety. Try to get at least 7-8 hours of sleep per night. If you have trouble sleeping, try creating a bedtime routine, such as reading a book or taking a warm bath before bed.


Practice relaxation techniques: 

Relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and visualization can help reduce stress and anxiety. Try incorporating these techniques into your daily routine.

True Beauty Is True Sadness

"To live beautifully, one must endure great agony and affliction." -Hyong-keun Yun (Shim, 2018) Yun Hyong-keun - Hastings Contemporary After reading an  article  about the late monochrome painter,  Hyong-keun Yun , a phrase mentioned by him that true beauty is true sorrow, is now sellotaped around my cerebrum.  According to him, art is the result of hardships and emotions that grew out of suffering (Shim, 2018).  As he talked about being a human before doing art, I tried to decipher the true meaning behind his framed words. Even though I have yet to understand the accurate elucidation, it led me to dive deep into what I consider art and how I define beauty.

We all have used computers at least once in our life. Most of us actually use it every day. So, we are all familiar with keyboard. But many of us do not know what is mechanical keyboard. To put is simply, a mechanical keyboard built with switches under the keycaps. The switches are made with a stiff plastic thing called “ Stem ” which contains two metal contacts and a spring built beneath it. This technology helps with key responds and pre-travel mechanism . Recently, I bought some Akko switches to try out as I was planning to build my first ever custom mechanical keyboard and I was not sure which switch I would go for. I have been using Royal Kludge RK61 keyboard for a while and Gateron Brown is the switch it is built with it. In addition, I have used other Gateron and Cherry switches. So, I do have fair amount of knowledge about switches. Therefore, I am going to judge and share my experience from a neutral point of view. There are a bunch of Akko switches to buy now-a-days. But all...
