A pep talk

This one is an oldie but a goodie by SoulPancake. Feeling down, need a pick-me-up, but short on time? Then this video is perfect for you. Clocking in at just under three-and-a-half minutes, this video features the popular SoulPancake figure, Kid President (KP) sharing a simple but powerful message — keep going. Butterflies in your belly before an important interview or difficult exam? This video’s got you covered with its soothing background score and the upbeat attitude of KP. This channel features a series of feel-good videos from KP for every season and reason. Watch and share with someone who you know needs cheering up. In the words of KP, “It’s everybody’s duty to give the world a reason to dance.” Video at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-gQLqv9f4o&

Science of motivation

Ever wondered why some days your productivity is through the roof, but on others, you seem to be in a slump you just can’t get out of? AsapSCIENCE describes the rises and dips in motivation with a series of fun illustrations backed up by biology and cognitive science. The ‘distraction effect’ could be holding you back, while a sense of ‘play’ is the strongest motivator for sustained behavioural changes. Game the system by finding out how you can keep your motivation levels up and meet your goals. Video at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZT-FZqfxZA
