Learning Challenge: Sleeeeepppp

I read "How Decays the Mind and Body" I have always been into being as healthy as possible. I eat incredibly healthly and workout 7 days a week. I noticed my junior year when I was getting 4 hours of sleep on a regular basis I was gaining more weight, which is weird for me. I have always wondered why sleep increases muscle gains as well. Everyone always told me that sleep is just as important. Now that I know it helps your cells regenerate, which is the whole idea behind building muscle. I will attempt to get more sleep even though I have loud roomates that I have to coincide my sleeping with.

Feedback Strategies: Process Praise and Mirror Feedback

Be a Mirror This article is useful as it lists out examples as to how each of the 5 useful qualities within feedback is presented. I always find that being specific when talking to people can show you are genuinely interested in their life, but I never thought this could be utilized when giving feedback. Another important quality is to not tell them they are missing something as that does not allow growth because they did not put any effort into something they did not even think of. The most interesting point in this article was to take oneself out of the feedback. Everyone enjoys talking about themselves, but in the case where you are giving feedback it's best to not say why I think something because it takes away from their growth. Difference Between Praise and Feedback Praise and Personhood Here the article says not to use positive reinforcement as this could make your child feel unworthy if they do not do what was being reinforced. In my opinion this is dumb. The very poin...
