The Third Eye or Pineal Gland is located in the middle of the brain, at the same level as the eyes. Its connection with the third eye chakra or Ajna in the Hindu system has long been investigated by yogic traditions and modern metaphysics alike. They view this gland as a possible seat of the soul and its development, a source for mystical experiences and extrasensory perception or psychic abilities.
This gland is usually considered to be in charge of producing melatonin and regulating our sleep cycle and our sexual maturation. The ways it functions is closely connected to the cycles of light and darkness.
Other Third Eye exercises include:
1. Go outside and get lots of natural light.
2. Eat foods or supplements that support a healthy activity of the pineal gland (and counter its calcification), such as iodine, chlorella, apple cider, Tamarind fruit (as it helps remove excess of fluoride involved in decreased pineal activity).
3. Meditate; meditation balances the activity of the nervous system and stimulates parts of the brain that help the pineal gland.
4. Spend time in complete darkness, as it stimulates a healthy activity in the gland and production of its associated hormones.
10 tips to increase your motivation for study
Motivation is one of the biggest issues for students and it is always great to find a few things that can keep you feeling inspired. Here are my top ten ideas:
- start small - set yourself a challenge to work for five to ten minutes. Yes, just five minutes can be enough to get started! If you can get through that five minutes, you will start breaking down that feeling of disinterest and begin to get more into working. A fantastic application that will keep you from using your phone and on a time limit of between 10 minutes and two hours is Forest! However, here are some free alternatives.
- plan tomorrow today - I find planning my day - or at least writing down a couple of tasks - before bed is extremely beneficial. In the morning I wake up with intent and get see my main priorities. They don’t have to full-fledged plans or written nicely in my planner but even just small reminders on a post-it note are enough for me to feel more organised.
- give yourself a bit of structure - as mentioned, having a plan is a great way to start the day. You might use a planner, a bullet journal or a free printable from me to organise! Set yourself up with 3 key things to finish or do during the day. Give yourself a goal and a reward upon completion. Put time limits on tasks and use a schedule to stay on track.
- utilise a studygram/studyblr - basically, the communities on Tumblr and Instagram act as amazing accountability partners! I am constantly motivated by my blog and being able to share my day to day life on Instagram or Snapchat. I definitely have become incredibly motivated and disciplined because of these two communities. If you’re thinking about starting a studyblr, read this. If you’re thinking about starting a studygram, read this. If you already have either, here is how you can use it to further motivate yourself!
- set up an inspiring workplace - dedicating a space to work, and only work, is a great way to build a mindset of motivation which kicks in when you sit down. This Pinterest board has loads of inspiration for setups and organisation! You can also add a cute plant, a bright study lamp and some motivational printables for added encouragement!
- externalise your short and long-term goals - by making a verbal or written commitment to your goals, you are much more likely to take steps to follow them through. You might want to have a really productive week catching up on all your work, improve your GPA or pass your semester with flying colours. At the start of each week think of the ways you can put your goals into actions. Then at the end of the week reflect on how you did. Track your progress and keep up your motivation by seeing things get a step closer each time!
- listen to some music - putting on my favourite songs always put me in a better mindset and feeling more positive. Before a study session or during a break, I will sometimes put on a few songs I’m loving and take a moment to refocus.
- don’t force it - if you’re feeling unmotivated to study, try doing something else for a short amount of time. Avoid things that could distract you like browsing Facebook or Instagram. Instead, try tidying your bedroom, organising your upcoming week, read a chapter of a book, or get a drink of water. Alternatively, make an action plan for what you need to do with your next few tasks. That way you’re still making progress with your work but aren’t sitting feeling too unmotivated to actually study.
- find some inspiration - there is no shortage of amazing people with incredible stories of success! Podcasts such as The Daily Boost, The Tony Robbins Podcast and The School of Greatness are great examples. Ted Talks are often incredibly insightful and motivating! Search for quotes or stories from your favourite people!
- change your mindset - one of the biggest challenges in motivation is adjusting your own perspective. For instance, instead of thinking “I am terrible at this” think “How can I learn this differently to really understand?”. “I made a mistake” think “What can I take away from making this mistake?”. “It isn’t perfect” think “These perfectionist tendencies are only making this more difficult, I can be content with my work”. Having a more positive outcome to each situation should help boost your confidence and motivation!
I hope these few tips are useful and help improve your motivation! If it helps, I would love to hear about it :-)

The World is Fucked 🌐
You don’t need to be a scientist or global warming expert to know that 7 billion people are going to have an effect on the planet.
The deforestation on a massive scale is clearly wiping out millions of wooden lungs. Surely that is agreed by everyone, unless you are the dumbest douche-nozzle alive?
- Billions of cars, trucks, trains, ships, among other things like generators and fossil fuel addicted machinery are doing lots of bad, but nothing good to our atmosphere.
- Plastic is killing our oceans and fish, which will most likely kill us eventually. They absorb it into their bodies on a microscopic level as well as in large chunks.
- Have you seen the dead bodies of sea birds on the Pacific Islands? They’re Wandering Albatross, if my memory serves me correctly? They are full of fucking plastic, man. Imagine if we eat so much plastic that we literally starved to death because our stomach couldn’t hold any food. Yet we don’t do anything meaningful to stop it.
- Then we’ve got the religious fanatics dishing out evil like they’re Caligula. What is wrong with these people? They’re even killing their own sort. Not like they care about the enemy. If you breathe you can be made to stop breathing. Absolute whack jobs.
- How come the intelligentsia tell the gangsters that you need to be a good boy or girl and stop fighting one another. Yet it’s okay for politicians to be gangsters and go to war. What’s wrong with showing love instead of a bullet. Send Kim Jong Wrong a box of chocolates and ten-high class prostitutes. That should sort him out. Imagine the smile on his face?
- Sounds like a daft idea, but, dude, the normal shit they tried for the last fifty years hasn’t been working, has it? Therefore, we need to try some new age shit that’s cheep and cheerful. Just imagine the headlines. Kim Dong Un goes on Jeremy Kyle USA.
- The signs are on the wall, but instead we look at the carpet and pretend it hasn’t got dog shit rubbed into it. Heck, it’s like the caribou have migrated through the living room and we’re still watching Dancing With The Stars and haven’t even noticed one, even though it’s Christmas time and they look like fucking reindeer. “Honey, was that Rudolph?” “Don’t be so bloody stupid, Eric!”
- There really isn’t much difference between the petrol sniffers and petrochemical polluting average Joe. Even if you don’t drive you’re most likely guilty of using a house full of oil-based products. You’d have to be a Neanderthal to live an oil-free life in 2017. Shit, even they had oil, but animal ones are relatively harmless in comparison.
In summary: the world is fucked and has been for a long time. It’s going to be fucked for a long, long time, unless the future has something different in store. Peace. Pussy. Chocolates. 🎂
It’s the only hope we have in unfucking the unfuckable.
It is the truth..

There is not much shared consciousness
just individuals with their own living on their own. That is how it should be and that is how it really is but sadly there is an invasion on the privacy of the individual that creates an ILLUSION that this is not so to the unwise
