Why exercise is important for mental heath?
Tags: Gym, Motivation, Mental Health, Healthy Lifestyle, Exercise

Intro

Not only is exercise great for the body physical it has so many other benefits beside the physical which I will speak briefly about.

Mental health

Exercise is very good for people suffering any mental health things such as depression. Exercise provides discomfort and pain to the body that cause the mind to focus solely on the pain inflicted from the hard work being exerted. The mind becomes clear concentrating on one thing rather than 5 or 6 things, less focus in the brain plus endorphins will create more positive energy depending on the duration of the exercise.(This is not the answer to solving any mental health but it can help or aid the mental health you are suffering from)

How can you stay fit this Winter?

Here are three workouts you can do to stay fit and healthy this Winter.
5 Flights Down & 6 Feet Outside

Today is cold and the sidewalk is quite slippery. I went outside earlier today to mail some Christmas cards and found the deep slushy intersection puddles hard to cross. They soon became an excellent way to dampen my socks. However, the sun was shining and I badly needed exercise.

So I took my trusty Fuji x100 V street shooter and hatched a plan that combined outside photography and inside exercise.

Here’s how it worked. Starting on the 5th floor where we lived, I’d walk down, step outside and take a few photographs. Then trudge back up, download, edit them and then repeat the process.

Here’s the one I liked the best.

I’m pooped and happy.

3 Steps To Breaking Out Of Your Fitness Rut

In case you lost your lust for fitness during COVID-19, here’s how you can pick it back up. BlogZ Follow Dec 18, 2020 · 5 min read

Sometimes our level of passion for things will fluctuate. Even if that is not the case, different stages of life will call for different amounts of your time and attention to be directed in different areas.

Working out has always been one of my greatest passions, and I became hardcore hooked on the gym as an exercise physiology student during my first year in college.

After high school, I was no longer a gymnast but the gym gave me an environment where I could always keep improving, provided me with a healthy outlet to deal with any negative emotions, and helped to improve my confidence.

I would even say it became a part of my identity, a part that I was quite proud of.

Fast forward to the pandemic and I froze my gym membership for the safety of myself and those around me. It wasn’t safe in my eyes, and I was about to enter the hardest semester of PT school anyway.

I decided I would dedicate all my time to my main focus of doing well during the semester. I would continue to work out, but would only use the equipment I had at home.

At first, I thought this would be a significant disadvantage. I wouldn’t have access to any fancy equipment and I would miss the social aspect of the gym too.

I felt that being my petite self, I wouldn’t be able to gain or even maintain the muscle I had thus far by just working out at home. My schedule was busier, and although I still worked out, all of a sudden I was no longer using fitness as my main source of self-improvement.

Safe to say, I was stuck in a fitness rut. Here’s how I brought back the spark and how you can too.
Lifestyle Changes On How to Stop Addictive Habits
By: Lindsay Nelson
Tags: Sleep, Routine, Consistency, Wellness, Exercise

Most of the time, addictions develop because of some lifestyle habits that can trigger you to do things that you are not supposed to do in the first place. The journey to stopping your addictions will require you to change your life for the better and when it comes to changing your life, you also need to develop different lifestyle habits to help you combat your addictions. These lifestyle changes might look simple but they can be of great help for your addiction to be completely flushed out of your system.

Lifestyle Changes for a Better You

The benefits of lifestyle changes, like getting enough rest, changing your diet, exercising and learning how to manage your stress, have long been known to help in improving your physical health. But do you know that these lifestyle changes can also greatly improve your mental health?

According to experts, these lifestyle changes help reduce stress and anxiety, boost your mood and improve your overall well being, all of which can do wonders for you to completely get rid of your bad habits. Lifestyle changes, though they may look simple, are actually powerful tools to treat your addictions.

Dietary Changes

You need to follow a diet that is rich in whole grains and low in saturated fats. Fresh vegetables and fruits are also essential to reduce the risks of diabetes, obesity, heart disease as well as other physical health issues. Foods that have high content of omega 3 fatty acids are also discovered to improve memory and learning in adults aside from reducing symptoms of mood disorders and depression.

By eating healthy foods, both your body and mind will be in good condition, which will help for you to be free of any negative emotions and sicknesses that can cause depression, which happens to be one of the reasons why some people become addicted to substances and bad habits.

Get Enough Sleep

Sleep has a very strong effect on a person’s mood. When you feel depressed and do not get adequate sleep, your symptoms of depression can become worse. Fatigue, sadness, moodiness and irritability are also caused by sleep deprivation. See to it that you always get enough sleep every night so that all your body systems will function properly.

Stress Management/Relaxation

A little stress is okay but when it is too much, you know that you are in for some trouble. Practice useful relaxation and meditation techniques that can help lower your stress levels, reduce anxiety and help you unwind.

Exercise

With regular exercise, you can stay both physically and mentally fit. This will help improve your mood and help you sleep and increase your strength and energy. During an exercise, your body releases endorphins to your bloodstream that serve as natural pain killers.

Endorphins can improve your mood, making you feel good about yourself and the world around you. Exercise also lessens the level of cortisol, or the depression or stress hormone in your bloodstream. All of these lifestyle changes are simple but can really go a long way for you to stop your bad habits in more ways than one.

The One Thing Every Writer Learns Before They Can Become Successful

The One Thing to rule them all

I heard you whisper quietly under your breath while the glow of the screen fights against your growing impatience.

“What is it, JJ?”

“What’s The One Thing?”

Don’t worry, I have answers for you, friend. Just remember patience is of the utmost importance.

Now more than ever.

For The One Thing does not answer to any mere mortal.

Nay, The One Thing is a fickle beast. The troll that appears only to the most worthy of heroes crossing the bridge. The wannabes simply never dare to cross.

It can take years to discover The One Thing. And decades to master.

The One Thing does not care about your feelings as a writer. It only demands absolute quality and devotion. At all times of day.

(Although it does prefer the hours of 9 AM to 12 PM from Tuesdays to Thursdays.)

The One Thing does not care who you are, nor where you come from.

The One Thing embraces all equally! Especially those who have been mastering it for years.

Or those who come bow before it with their own legions of followers already.

The One Thing has ruled this land for decades now. Yet, he only came to prominence in the latter part of the 20th century. An invention of the masses — he was the solution to all of their problems.

But The One Thing cares not for problems.

The One Thing controls the problems. He makes the problems — if he wishes.

And he can vanish the problems with the snap of his judgy fingers.
What Ever Happened to The World Record Egg That Cracked Instagram?
By: Ash Jurberg
Tags: Creativity, Mental Health, Influencer Marketing, Social Media, Marketing

The Egg Is Scrambled

The creators knew that the next steps needed to be important. And so they decided to crack the egg — now known as Eugene. Over the next couple of weeks, the account released pictures of the egg with a crack that got progressively bigger. Each post gathered over 5 million likes.

Source: Instagram

As the world (or at least 45 million people) waited to see what the build-up would be, Eugene announced that all would be revealed during a post-Super Bowl video in conjunction with Hulu.

The build-up was great; the publicity building and the big reveal was to come. As speculation continued, one marketing agency claimed that a partnership with the egg would be worth $10 million, making a huge profit for the still anonymous account owner.

On February 3, before the commercial ran, the identity of the creator was unmasked by the New York Times — it was 29-year-old British advertising executive, Chris Godfrey.

Asked why he used a simple picture of an egg to try and go viral, Godfrey said:

“Why an egg? An egg is recognisable to millions of people across the globe, no matter what your age is. It has no race, religion, or political agenda. An egg is… an egg. You can’t hate an egg. And Kylie Jenner being dethroned by an egg? You have to admit it would be funny.”

An hour after the Super Bowl ended, a new show went live on Hulu. With just a single one-minute episode titled “The Reveal”—viewers could watch a simple one-minute message from the egg itself.

Source: Instagram

The message showed that the egg had cracked from all the social media pressure and directed viewers to the website for the nonprofit group Mental Health America, with a reminder to “talk to someone” if ever you find yourself struggling with stress and other mental health issues. The build-up had all been to promote mental health awareness.

They created the #EggGang to be used as a show of support for people with mental health issues, and this quickly became a trending hashtag.

While some people felt a let down as they were expecting a big new TV show or movie to be announced, the overwhelming response was positive.

Influencer Marketing To Hit $ 15 Billion, 3 Influencer Platforms For Startups

Personally I feel Influencers as a descriptive term, has left a bad after taste for most professionals, I prefer the more accurate description: Creators.

Content is, and always will be king.

We have evolved our content consumption continuously in the past two decades. New platforms, new formats and multiple ways to watch video from Stories on Instagram to streaming on Netflix. We are listening to more podcasts, joining new platforms like TikTok, there's even a new trend of social voice platforms emerging like Clubhouse.

It’s all too much.

Choices are infinite.

We all love to be immersed into the lives of others, get lost in fiction or be wrapped up by all the drama.

And now anyone can make content.

You could say we’re in a Golden Age of content.

A 9 year old, Ryan Kaji, makes $30 Million promoting kids merchandise. As a 21 year old fitness instructor, Kayla Itsines from Australia, is worth over $486 Million because she shared Instagram images of her client’s before and after bodies.

In 2022 Content Marketing will become an $18 billion industry.

What Is A Micro-Influencer?

People with small followings on social platforms, anywhere from 5000–100,000 followers are called Micro-Influencers.

Small businesses and large brands will pay them to promote their products or services.

People with smaller follower numbers on Instagram, on average, have higher engagement rates.

Basically the higher amount of likes + comments as a percentage of the number of followers they have.

Once marketers got wind of this fact, it was game on.

Platforms were built and now anyone can tap a Micro-Influencer on the shoulder, to give their startup or personal brand a jump start.
How to Leverage your Instagram Influencer Profile and Monetize.
Tags: Instagram, Instagram Marketing, Influencer Marketing, Monetization, İnstagram

Gaining and engaging the audience has to be done by implementing some well-known techniques that have been proved to create a good first impression. If you are expecting monetary returns, there are certain prerequisites to have a profile that is worth the money you are expecting.

1. Influencer’s following

The most important aspect of why brands choose influencers to take their product forward to consumers. Brands have to be convinced and assured that; you are the right influencer for their brand.

In the business of Influencer marketing, an Instagram influencer’s IG profile becomes their CV. The number of followers they have garnered, frequency of posts, variations in the content and steps taken from influencers’ end to keep the audience engaged show your skills as an influencer.

Brands and business choose you to use you as a medium to get to the masses. Coming up with path-breaking strategies and concepts alone does not assure an engaged audience. Trying to take them into the equation while considering what kind of concept works for your niche, will do. Instagram offers tools to track and assess your posts’ performance and how they are being received after it surfaces on your followers’ feed. Instagram provides insights as to when is the right time to upload a picture or a video on Instagram for maximum viewing. Everything that takes to make the audience engage in your content is offered by Instagram all you have to concentrate is on your content.

It is imperative to stick to your niche from day 1. Your niche increases the chances of being identified by certain brands looking forward to collaborating with influencers. Brands do not wish to be promoted by an influencer who specializes in another niche different from theirs. Which makes posts about their products appear as the odd one out.

The reason behind sticking to a niche is making sure that your audience will be able to consume the products you promote through your Instagram profile. This certainty gives brands the assurance that you are the right person to get the job done.

2020 has been one heck of a year for sure. I want to thank the almighty that I am still alive, and I still have you all as my contacts, who would have thought a fellow human would one day try eating a bat and the whole world would be upside down in just such a short period.

I am lucky that you guys have kept me real and helped me stay focussed under these bizarre times. One good thing about life is that change is the only constant thing, as explained in many Bhagavad Geeta verses [Ch.II verse.13]. Meaning 2021 is NEW A YEAR.

I think that people worldwide have finally woken up and realized just being alive and having our loved one safe is the only thing that really matters. If it means we will see the return of respect and empathy for each other as human beings, I certainly hope so.

It is my wish and my desire that this message brings hope and joy; I am humbled and happy for the contacts and friends I have made this year.

I am looking forward to a great 2021. and I am not going to miss this one for sure.

Life of an influencer- play or all work no play?
Tags: Influence, Influencers, Social, Influencer Marketing, Social Media

Checking reviews of the products or say buying the one where a famous celebrity was using it, it all plays a major role in influencing our decisions. This is called influencing marketing. The ones who influence our decisions are called influencers.

Influencer marketing is a highly effective way of marketing a brand and its one of the growing trends in the country. According to statistics, 70% of millennial consumers are influenced by the recommendations in buying products. This means, more and more brands will start relying on this technique to increase brand awareness. Influencer marketing may be a relatively new strategy in the digital space, but it continues to be a valuable and viable solution for brands to reach out to their target audience. This is mainly because consumers trust word-of-mouth marketing over any other type of advertising. Several brands have leveraged the power of Influencer marketing with top campaigns executed in 2017.

CLICK HERE TO KNOW ABOUT — Important influencer marketing trends in 2020.

Influencer marketing has also opened up the doors to a lot of job opportunities as well which is a must in these tough times.

The fact that people buy it on recommendations also shows trust on the brand which is a good thing. For new brands, the main task is to get attention of the customers, they need to make the customers trust their product which is hard. Again, here the influencers play a major role. They use the product, give their opinions and this results in people buying the product, if they like it.

But how can brands find these influencers and how do they decide if this is the right Influencer for their brand?

Brands want someone with relevance.

Brands are looking for someone who knows how to engage with its audience.

Brands are looking for someone with reach

Brands are looking for someone with frequency and authenticity

Customers usually don’t trust sponsored products / brands. They prefer influencers to share their personal opinions which actually gets them more attention of the audience. Whatever your niche, you can engage with bloggers to create the quality, authentic content their audience expects while associating your brand with that content.

Brands usually look for all these traits before finalizing an influencer for their brand.

Keeping up with all these to come in the spotlight and maintaining it ain’t easy. So wanting to become an influencer is not easy. It is tough, even after you become one maintaining it is not easy.

So NO! Life of an influencer is not all play. It is very tough and they work very hard everyday to achieve their goals.

7 Ways to Screw up a Sentence
By: Jason Stapleton
Tags: Copywriting, Content Marketing, Writing, Communication, Influencer Marketing

I am the last person who should be offering advice on spelling and grammar.

So I won’t.

Instead I want to share a principle with you from Ann Handley. Ann is an old school digital marketer who’s written a couple of best selling books.

In her book “Everybody Writes” she points out one of the cardinal sins most writers make. They front load their sentences with stuff that doesn’t move the reader forward.

Take these two sentences for example:

“According to a recent study done by the Center for Disease Control, there is a connection with a rise in fatal overdoses and the COVID-19 Pandemic.”

Verses:

“Fatal overdoses are on the rise due to the COVID-19 pandemic, says a new study by the CDC.”

Both sentences relayed the exact same information. But the second sentence got to the point faster. It presented the most important information first rather than front loading the reader with extraneous information that isn’t valuable without context.

Ann lists 7 phrases to avoid when starting a sentence.

According to… There is a… It is [important, critical, advised, suggested, etc.]… In my opinion… The purpose of this [email, letter, post, article]… In 2020 [or any year]… I think [believe] that…

Each of these sentence starters distracts the reader and elongates the time it takes to get to the meat of your communication.

I check for these kinds of mistakes after I’m done writing so I can stay in creativity mode while I write.

Give it a shot. I think you’ll like the way your voice sounds on paper.

Talk soon,

Jason

WHAT IS IN AN INFLUENCE CAMPAIGN?
By: Sudo Truth
Tags: Tik Tok, Cybersecurity, Influencer Marketing, Influencer Campaigns, Memes

December 20, 2020

Knock Knock, Who’s There?

You see something you like, so you like it. You see something that resonates with you, so you share it. Soon others you follow like and share your post. An overwhelming sense of accomplishment and validation that your opinion matters washes over you. But do you ever wonder in that moment have you just been exploited?

Meme

A meme (or as we’re taught the most basic definition of one is an idea) in its most simplistic form can catch like wildfire. The plainest material context of a meme is that of which we know as pictures attached to phrases that convey a sentiment. Meme’s can extend to forms beyond the scope of this as well.

Tactics

Ways we have seen memes used in influence campaigns:

Curating sentiment

Typically these actors are looking to curate a feeling or at the very least engage a target audience to see what data can be extracted. Some of these memes use intentional trigger factors that actors know will cause a reaction and or response from critics. This term is also known as “bait” as these memes are designed as nothing more than to influence you into responding.

Sowing dissent

The more extremes of memeing are when accounts also known as meme pages or actors, bots, public, drive the sentiment they’ve curated in a more negative, harmful, or dangerous narrative. This is more difficult to detect as this begins to blur the lines of freedom of speech, hate speech, and social norms in countries all around the world. Some of these memes are even being pushed in order to analyze and compile profiles based upon reaction and emotional state of being when responding to these trigger factors.

Meme Culture

As advances of technology grow meme culture will only continue as well. There is no further prominent evidence of this currently than the explosion in popularity of TikTok. We expect influence campaigns to incorporate these new technologies into their tool sets as well. Deep fakes will help perpetuate more disinformation and even further push the extent at which boundaries of influence can push. We read and see memes on a daily constant. We advance the dissent by reacting to, liking, and sharing these sentiments with our followers on a global scale. Little do we think of (if ever) how this may affect us on a personal level. If we are even being watched, analyzed, or being exploited through our own mental and emotional states of being. The persistent advancements in technologies that help spread these sentiments and sow dissent will need to be more closely monitored in order to recognize these threats.
2 Tips for Creating Shareable Content for Influencers

One of my ‘favourite’ SEO strategies has always been “link baiting.” Essentially this means writing an article to be eye catching and entertaining enough that people will want to share it, so that then when they read it on your site they’ll be more likely to want to post it on their own websites or on forums. This was a strategy that was around before social media marketing existed in a big way, and one that allowed for a piece of writing to go viral before the days of Facebook or Twitter. Fast forward a few years though and I’d argue that many of the social network influencer could stand to learn a thing from the technique.

The point is that too many people think that having a big network of contacts on a social media site is enough to ensure that their content will spread. The strategy for many of them it seems is to simply develop a large number of “followers” or “friends” and then to just share everything they create and hope for the best.

The problem is that not everything is well suited to that kind of viral sharing, and like the link bait articles that SEO gurus use, a better strategy would be to devise articles from the outset that will be more likely to get shared. Here we will look at how to do that…

Write Articles With an Emotional Hook

The first thing you need to do if you hope for your article links to spread quickly is to give them some kind of emotional resonance. If someone reads your article and they come away thinking ‘wow’ or even feeling angry, then they will be more likely to share, comment or interact with that content in some way.

Write Articles With a Catchy Title

For someone to share your article they first need to read it, and the only weapon you have at your disposal as far as that’s concerned is the strength of your title. While you could write an entire article just one that, the tenets you should follow are to make your title descriptive of your article so that people know what it’s going to be about, to make it engaging in some way (again by making it emotional, or by asking a question or making a statement) and to use hyperbole (the ‘ultimate’ list, not ‘a very good’ list).
EASY AND SIMPLE TIPS TO BECOME AN INFLUENCER
Tags: Easy Tips, Influence, Influencers, Influencer Marketing, Social Media

Becoming a successful Instagram influencer isn’t easy, and it’s no secret that Instagram is a very different platform in 2020 than it was just a few years ago.

Long gone are the days when getting featured on a larger profile would grant you hundreds of thousands of new followers. Posting a 3-word caption and seeing consistent growth? It doesn’t fly anymore. The old follow-unfollow “hack”? Nope.

What’s important to remember is that while growth is more of an uphill battle these days, it’s still more than possible.

And what’s even more encouraging is that you don’t need hundreds of thousands of followers to succeed as an Instagram influencer in 2020 because brands are getting more and more attuned to the power of micro-influencers.

Insight into the Powers of Influencer

“influencer marketing is the modern word of mouth, and is eating the lunch of traditional digital media in many ways.”- Kinser

To think of it, a decade ago, the term ‘social media influencer’ did not exist. But as of today, influencer marketing is a critical tool in the marketing industry along with paid advertisements across the social media platforms. As people have shifted from traditional TV to social media, there has been a significant shift in the marketing strategies of the brands as well.

As these social media platforms provide a huge platform for marketing and give the brands direct access to a vast audience, countless brands have started battling against one another to gain the consumer’s attention on these platforms. But with the change in the industry, it is getting difficult for brands to pitch their products or services to this new consumer base. The cost of advertising on social media platforms is rising substantially and the organic reach to consumers is more or less dead.

This is where the influencers come in, they have been trending for a while now and are preferred only because the audience find them authentic, trustworthy and relatable.

For ages, brands have been trying to reshape the consumer’s ideas, thinking, focus and likings without the consumers even being aware of it. Promoting products via social media platforms and involving influencers to endorse these products is a form of subconscious marketing strategies that have proved to be successful in modern times.

4 free E-books to master Influencer Marketing (Best Practices, Trends, and more)

The influencer game of today is treacherous. They earn huge amounts of money and the success is sometimes difficult to measure (depending on the target). It is also a hotly debated topic, although influencers have always existed. There have always been people who could influence the opinion and perception of other people towards brands or products. However, while a few years ago a large marketing budget ensured that certain products were shown on TV 24/4 and could create a certain image, today this power lies largely with these influencers.

But quite honestly, I personally don’t trust big influencers when they suggest a product. I mainly think of the fact that they have probably been paid handsomely. I only trust a few influencers who are true experts in a field. and you know what? That’s what influencer marketing is all about, if you do it right.

Today I would like to introduce you to influencer marketing by attaching 4 free ebooks that I have personally selected. These 4 books will give you a good overview and go deeper into some important disciplines. We look at the following topics:

During the Christmas season of 2008, a racially-aggravated encounter at a US supermarket chain spurred Singaporean author Bertrand Teo to use his student journalism work to spotlight Asian and Asian American issues. In the newly-launched book, Navigating Disruption: Media Relations in the Digital Age, Bertrand revisits his student journalism days and experience as a member of the minority in the US, while reflecting on the role of the media in shaping the mainstream perception of minorities in both the US and Singapore.

Launched on Saturday, 12 December, the book provides insights for communication professionals in negotiating Singapore’s new media landscape, framed by the author’s collegiate and professional journey. Bertrand shares his view of the digital transformation of legacy newsrooms and the rise of new media players in Singapore. He also writes about his experience witnessing a retrenchment exercise in a US newsroom and the digital transformation of a traditional newsroom here in Singapore.

Singapore Media History

In painting a portrait of the new media landscape, Bertrand takes readers through recent Singapore media history with his experience of the media liberalisation period in the early 2000s. Bertrand explains how millennials then had started to experiment with blogs and social media networking websites like Friendster. These experiments would enable millennial digital media entrepreneurs to compete with the giants like SPH and Mediacorp.

Author Bertrand Teo said: “This book is for readers who are interested to understand how newsrooms operate and how communicators can better engage audiences in the digital age. I think there is something for both aspiring and seasoned communicators, because communication technology is ever evolving. There is always something to learn about the ways different audiences consume information.”

Navigating Disruptionis available online and at major online retailers and bookstores such as Kinokuniya, Times, and Popular. There is a special 20% promotional offer for the book from now till 10 January 2021 on Goguru (Times Bookstore). [Note: Offer has expired]
