This is the beginning of my journey toward discovering what my major project will be. As of right now I don’t have any concrete ideas in mind. I want to create something that I have an interest in. There is no point, especially when I have the choice to pick my own project, to choose something that I will not be passionate about. From initial research to the end product, I want to have a strong interest in it. Through the ideation process I hope I can start shaping a project that I am excited about.
As I always do, I began by creating a little mind map. I initially started by writing down some topics that I thought could be of potential interest. From here I took four of these topics that I personally feel are all very important currently in 2024, and also they are talked heavily about these days.
With these four topics in mind, I then did a focused mind map branching out on each of the topics. For me, mind maps help me visually organise ideas, making it easier to brainstorm, connect concepts. Already by just doing these mind maps, I can potentially see a few areas which I think could be quite interesting to evolve with.
Everybody has it and we need to take care of it.
What is it? - mental health encompasses emotional, psychological, and social well-being, influencing cognition, perception, and behaviour.
Mental health influences how we think, feel, and behave, and it affects our ability to handle stress, relate to others, and make decisions. Neglecting it can lead to issues such as anxiety and depression.
Having an open conversation or seeking professional help when needed, can make a significant difference in maintaining mental health.
