You have to be so disciplined that even your distractions become focused. \u2013 Onyi Anyado.<\/strong><\/p>\n

24-years-old Akshay Singh is a person who currently works as an R&D Engineer in LT Elevator. Akshay belongs to a defence background through his father which led him to experience a life full of relocations. Akshay completed his schooling at Bareilly and Chandigarh.<\/p>\n

Currently residing in Kolkata, Akshay enjoys exploring mythology and history of various forms as a hobby. Having roots from a nuclear family Akshay has always been an excelling performer in his studies. He bagged a CGPA OF 10 in his 10th standard.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy 12th standard, I had reflected a huge downfall in my academics. I ended up scoring in the \u201950s which had affected my mental health drastically.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Akshay was in a relationship since class 9. By the time he reached higher secondary, distractions became a major part of his downfall. Meanwhile, his ex-partner didn\u2019t have to compromise with her studies and secured an 80%. This put a huge impact on Akshay’s confidence. However, Akshay moved further in his career to get back on his feet when he graduated.<\/p>\n

\"When<\/p>\n

\u201cBut the time I lost scoring bad marks and the downfall in 12th standard made me blame myself for wasting a crucial year.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When Akshay reached college, his ex-partner had moved to a different college where she made a male best friend. Eventually, days turned into months when it came to her calling him. Akshay was also a person who doesn\u2019t socialize with people much.<\/p>\n

Soon, he started feeling lonely as he used to think, \u201cwhat is the purpose of being alive in this world?\u201d. Depressed and down in morale, Akshay was unable to get a hold of his negative thoughts.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was facing insomnia and as distractions were my only option, I started getting inclined towards pornographic content.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

By 2021, there was a lockdown in Bengal. It was also the time when Akshay got placed in BYJUS. As his company was associated with YourDOST, Akshay took this opportunity to connect with a couselor through video calls. Seeking a solution to deal with his distractions, Akshay was guided to turn his negative thought into a positive perspective. But for him, the counselor seemed more like a friend in front of whom he didn\u2019t need to filter his sentences.<\/p>\n

\"Akshay<\/p>\n

\u201cI was suggested to inculcate meditation into my regime. To get a hold over my concentration and beat distractions, I was advised to start practising focusing on one thing.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When it came to the focusing exercise, Akshay started from 5 mins and allowed his abilities to keep expanding the time every day. He was also getting up early in the morning. His pornographic interests declined over time as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t expect that counseling would be so helpful for me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Akshay extends his gratitude to his counselor mentioning that she did a great job in helping him. As Akshay describes his journey as \u201cconsistency\u201d, he rated his overall improvement through therapy with a 4.5 out of 5. We, at YourDOST, wish him luck in his future endeavours.<\/p>\n
