Attitude

The most important thing you will ever wear is your attitude

Attitude plays a crucial role in shaping an individual’s behavior and actions. At Excel, we understand the importance of fostering a positive attitude in our students. A positive attitude can greatly facilitate success in various aspects of life.

In order to develop a positive attitude in our students, we focus on three key areas: cognitive, affective, and behavioral. To improve students’ cognitive attitude, or thought process, we have implemented an effective strategy known as goal setting. Goals are set according to a ratio of 1:2:4 for physical, personal, and professional goals respectively. To enhance their affective attitude, or emotional domain, we create a positive classroom environment through our SPICE program. Additionally, our Self-Image Visualizer program helps to improve students’ behavioral attitude.

At Excel, we strive to ensure that each and every student is developed in such a way that they can excel wherever they go in life. Through our focus on attitude development, we aim to help our students become confident, well-rounded individuals with a positive outlook on life.

Count-Down Seven Six Five Four Three Two One Zero

A Cure to Procrastination

Are you tired of procrastinating and struggling to stay focused on your tasks? Introducing Count-Down 7, a simple yet effective method to help prevent procrastination and boost productivity.

The Count-Down 7 method is based on the principle of setting a countdown timer for 7 seconds, and taking specific actions as the timer counts down. The method can be applied in various scenarios, such as when waking up in the morning or when feeling lazy to start working on a task.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Set a countdown timer for 7 seconds.

  2. As soon as the alarm starts counting down from 7 to 0, wake up and lay there for 7 seconds.

  3. Once the countdown reaches zero, step down and take 7 steps.

By following this simple method, you are actively tuning your mind to be more alert and focused. The Count-Down 7 method can be especially helpful for those who struggle with morning grogginess and procrastination.

But the Count-Down 7 method isn’t just for morning use, you can apply this method whenever you feel lazy to do any work, like when you have a big task ahead and you’re feeling overwhelmed, or when you’re feeling unmotivated, start your countdown and get to work.

Give Count-Down 7 a try and see for yourself how it can improve your productivity and help you overcome procrastination. Give it a try today and see the difference it can make in your life.

It includes transportation details, general components of assembly such as prayer and pledge, and an “All About Me” section. Additionally, there is a Habit Incubation Tank, a calendar, and other useful tools to help students stay organized.

  • To develop oral presentation skills and to enable civic discourse: Through practice and feedback, students will develop their oral presentation skills and become more comfortable speaking in front of an audience.

  • To enhance the students’ confidence level and to engage them in research: By preparing and delivering a TED-style talk, students will gain confidence in their abilities and become more engaged in research and critical thinking.

Act of charity not only helps the people in need but also makes us feel good. Charity bring together people who care about a cause.

SELF-AWARENESS EXERCISES

Self Awareness Exercises are essential to develop the overall personality development of the learners. Many activities are planned and implemented to promote this. For example, Greeting others mindfully according to the time, Expressing gratitude, Usage of magical words such as Sorry, Thank you, Please etc. From the lower grades, the learners are trained to speak and write about themselves (All About Me). Children are given opportunities to express their feeling with reason. Various real life situations are provided and the learners are made to realize the positives and negatives. Self Awareness exercises thus remain as a stepping stone to progress and personality development.
