This showed us that the stuff we learn is forgotten very quickly as time progresses. This has motivated me to study more so that I better remember the topics for my classes.

This picture is pretty helpful in explaining but this is basically showing us how to make good goals. This is helpful to me because this helps me makes my goals more attainable and realistic. It helps me identify the steps and as opposed to just saying I want to accomplish something.

For this we learned that the decision making part of the brain is the frontal lobe that the occipital lobe is what processes our vision but is actually in the back of the brain. I choose this because I found this interesting and I always assumed that the part of the brain that processed vision was always in the front where the eyes where.

wolfpine77 — 2025-03-10 14:40:41 UTC

In this topic we learned that there are two types of stresses called eustress where it’s good stress that helps benefit us and distress where is bad stress that could affect our heath and mental well being. I chose this topic because it gave me another way of looking at stress and what I can to to use it to my benefit.

Locus of control

wolfpine77 — 2025-03-10 14:44:09 UTC

For this topic we learned about how internal locus of control means that the person believes that the results of their lives are up to them and that they are in control, where as external locus of control is the mentality that things see out of your control and that fate or destiny is predetermined. This applies to me beside I found this interesting and shows the different ways people thing.

This taught us that we should spend 50% of our money on the things we need, 30% of the earnings on wants and save the last 20%. I chose this because this is important part of finances and it helps us enjoying or work while still providing a safety net for emergencies.
