2022-04-05 06:01:34 Meanwhile, I will be sharing some pics from Chicago. It is, indeed, cleaner and better version of NYC! People are trendy here, and you see many famous brand shops on the way.

But, for me, I would get bored of seeing these high buildings and offices.

2022-04-05 05:39:22 How many of you imagine traveling as nice photoshoots in front of high skyscrapers and popular spots?
I bet many of you do!
But it is more than that and it teaches you a great deal of things.

1. To enjoy experiences over things.
Traveling teaches you that we need very little to be happy. It is not cars, phones or new clothes that make us happy, but it is experience, people and lasting memories.

2. To leave your comfort zone.
You will completely forget your daily life when traveling. You start trying new things. For example, I remember walking at midnight to find food, sleeping at the airports, and getting lost at subways which I normally do not do:)

3. How to make friends with strangers.
That’s true. While traveling, you open yourself up to a world of human interaction. By striking up a conversation with Uber driver, I learnt his intention to come to Uzbekistan and that he knows about Uzbekistan more than I do.

4. To never take nature for granted
When you travel, you learn to appreciate every natural wonder, every sip of clean water and every bite of healthy food. You will like San Francisco over New York cuz of nature, I hope:)

5. Motivation
Traveling proves you that you can do more. It teaches you confidence, independence and freedom. It homes your problem solving skills. When you realize how powerful you are, your travel journey becomes one of the most transformative experiences of ur life!

2022-03-16 23:15:30 Live in the present moment!

We have heard of this wisdom a lot, but still might be living in our past or worrying about our future. Do you think your past will be changed once you start thinking about that? The answer is NO. Do you think you will become successful out of sudden if you keep thinking about you future all the time? The answer is again NO.

Instead learn how to live in the present moment, take the time to appreciate where you are, what you're doing, and who you are with.

Stay safe and take care of your health

2022-03-01 07:16:51 Trip to Florida

There is no one who loves traveling more than I do. I like being in different places, meeting new people and trying new things.

On entering Florida, I noticed the weather change. A humid weather started making it difficult to breathe.
Actually, Florida is a perfect place for going on vocation and having a rest from everything, literally from everything. Local people are nice and friendly. They try to help you with whatever you have trouble with. As you walk, you can see those big palm trees standing one after another. Streets are clean, and I didn’t meet any homeless people here so far. Many people speak Spanish and some people can’t speak English. You can’t get from one point to another without Uber or Lyft. Transportation system isn’t developed in Orlando. It is a place for different attractions, parks, and beaches. Overall, nice place for relaxing, where you can enjoy your every second!

Btw, people with whom you travel mean a lot! Was lucky to have awesome travel buddies

2021-08-31 20:04:17 Are you a 9th, 10th or 11th grade student at school? Do you want to continue your studies in the USA?

If yes, apply for the FLEX program that I couldn't apply

The Future Leaders Exchange (FLEX) Program is a highly competitive, merit-based scholarship program funded by the U.S. Department of State that operates in several countries, including Uzbekistan.

I couldn't apply because I heard about this program only when I started my freshman year at uni. So, if you aren't eligible as well, share it with your sisters and brothers who study at school or colleges.

Apply: http://discoverflex.org/apply
More info: https://aisforms.s3.amazonaws.com/ais/FLEX/2022/FLEX_2022_Program_Brochure.pdf

Special chat group for questions about the program: https://t.me/FLEXbyShahriyor

P. S Happy Independence Day
Bye bye, summer:(

2021-08-29 22:13:04 If you get distracted or lose your focus easily, then this post is for you!

Every day, dozens of defaults—from preinstalled apps, to expectations of instant response, to smartphone notifications, to 'long' phone calls—shape how we spend our time. When you are waiting for smth, you look at your phone, boring lesson, you look at your phone, have free time, again you look at your phone. The screen is winning and you are losing your precious time and health. I don't say that internet or social media are bad, but it's better when everything is used in moderation. Let’s get real: If you want to reclaim control of your time, it’s your responsibility. No digital wellbeing feature or anti-technology manifesto is going to undo these defaults.

Since you’re reading this post, you probably feel like you should get better about distraction and focus. You probably recognize the sensation that rises after a mindless Instagram session or a where-did-the-day-go evening reflection. Maybe it feels like regret. Maybe it feels like fire. But if you feel it, harness that energy. Don’t wait. Make the changes now.

1. Switch off your internet
The notifications you get make you touch your phone and check what's there. Then, you get into it and totally forget what you were busy with. That definitely shortens your attention span.

2. If you can't control it, ask others for help.
For example, you can ask your friends or siblings to hide your phone or change its passwords for a while that you can't get access to it. Realizing that you can't find or open your phone, you continue doing other important tasks.

3. Use time tracking apps.
I started using several time tracking apps and they are really helping me.
Download them from PlayMarket
1) StayFree
2) YourHour
3) Forest

You need to fill the digital void with new, more rewarding activities.
What are they?)

Read books. Find a hobby. Train. Learn to cook. Go on a trip. Meet friends. Do sports. While having dinner, look at your family, not at your phone.

Dream. Set goals. And work towards them without any distractions

There must be only you and your goal (no place for your phone)

Hope it was useful, good night

P. S. It is already mid-night and I am writing this post , cuz my 'ilhom parilarim' come only at this time.
