I grew up with both Turkish and Austrian cultures, and this mix is a big part of who I am. Since starting my psychology journey, I’ve been fascinated by understanding the human mind. While psychology has always fascinated me, my internship in a psychiatric ward truly helped me understand the field's deeper challenges and the real impact it can have on people's lives. “So, why psychology?” My answer is simple.

The main factors causing this increase are restricting children's mobility and changing eating habits and food preferences with developing technology.

{:en} As someone who walks for an hour every day, I share with you its effects on me. You know, we say, "I need to clear my mind, I'm going to walk a little" or "The more I walk, the more I listen to myself and think more calmly." What we do is entirely meditation. Focusing on something and moving on. I wanted to introduce you to "WALKING MEDITATION", which you have heard or will hear frequently lately. It's a different way of meditating, like focusing on a specific object, a mantra, or your imagination, just focusing on the movement of your feet rather than stillness. It means...
