Resilience 

Yes, I finished three mindful notes this week every class period we had, I exercises while listening to my surroundings on the way to class, in the classroom, and when we were listening to the sound tracks. The exercise, in my opinion, has been beneficial. It provides me the opportunity to fully immerse myself in reality and hear sounds outside of my headphones. The listening practice, in my opinion, is more peaceful and free-form than having to sit and only think about a particular subject. The workouts do, in fact, help me. For me, it's a new experience, but I like it. Although there are other mindfulness activities that can be just as effective, I can't think of anything right now that would be better. I have started changing certain behaviors, such as becoming a little more physically and mentally active, as a result of the articles that have been shown to us in class. Yes, I intend to keep practicing mindfulness. I adore how it makes me feel less worried, more liberated, and more grounded. I am definitely interested in learning additional strategies to develop my thinking and improve my connection to life in general because I am on a self-healing path. This is a recap of what we learned in today's lesson while listening to a presentation about counseling services. Listening to music while keeping an eye on feelings and physical signals. Take note of your surroundings and everything in them. What ideas, emotions, and physical sensations are you having? Do nothing but observe without responding. Do not categorize or evaluate your observations. Take note of your thoughts and feelings. Nothing should be pushed away. Allow all ideas, emotions, and observations to come to you as they do. Improve your observational skills by making use of your five senses.

It was a little more difficult to completely enjoy nature this week. The weather was awful—extremely chilly and rainy. which is, in all honesty, the worst possible combo. I nevertheless made an effort to immerse oneself in nature despite that. It was quite gorgeous yesterday morning as I came out of my dorm building and suddenly realized I was outside thanks to the sun beaming on the trees and the lush green grass. It was really soothing, and I just soaked it all in. However, it was naturally cold and rainy the very following day, which immediately made me feel down. According to the individual, I believe the challenge may have a greater or lesser impact. Whether you were like me and simply went for a walk while observing the natural surroundings. Or if you were the type of person to sit down and spend some quality time in nature. I'm going to stick to my quick walk since sometimes I don't even like the fragrance of the outside. This is the main distinction between this exercise and the ones we perform in class. One exercise places you in a small space, while the other allows you to move around at will. Well, I have to go outside for my everyday tasks, and the trips are usually long, so I inevitably end up in nature. So now when I go I'll just keep in mind what I see and the feelings I develop.

I was able to keep track of the good things that happened this week. Yes, I usually make mental notes and mentally congratulate myself when I complete even the tiniest tasks. This week, keeping a record felt routine to me. I didn't notice much of a shift because I typically maintain an agenda with me at all times and monitor things on a daily basis, so it didn't feel like anything new to me. No, recording yourself shouldn't give you a false sense of accomplishment; rather, it should help your mental health. Yes, I would say that I'm always honest about my progress, whether it's positive or negative. Not that I can think of off the top of my head. I think it's a habit that's worthwhile to keep up, especially since you can eventually see how much you've developed as a person. But it requires perseverance and sincere dedication. When it comes to the internet realm, I would say that I have a network or support in some ways because I am aware of many motivating individuals that I can follow on a daily basis. But because they are closed-minded, the individuals I know in person, like my friends and family, probably wouldn't help as much.

Yes, I was successful in finishing the work this week. Because of the previous week, sleeping has actually been a little challenging this week. I was very busy and often stayed up later during the day to do my own responsibilities. I would say that one of my biggest challenges came from my surroundings, specifically my roommate. It keeps me awake and makes it difficult for me to go asleep, even with my eyes closed, when she occasionally leaves our main light on or has her computer playing loudly. Because I didn't receive the ideal night's sleep the previous night, this ultimately caused me to have disappointing affects later in the day when I start to feel exhausted without warning. With the body scan and listening activities, you were essentially keeping your body operating in the background, whereas in this experiment, you were allowing it to shut off and enter rest mode. In all honesty, I believe that I will simply make more of an effort to find time during my days to sleep and rest more. I frequently take unscheduled naps, but they only make me feel more exhausted than usual. In addition, I'll start making an effort to go to bed earlier and speak up when my roommate causes distractions.

Yes, I did work out three times this week while also listening to music. I did feel more productive after this week, but I was also physically exhausted. I spent the majority of this week's sessions attempting to catch up on my sleep. This week, I learnt how to push myself. I am aware that there is a connection between the mind and the body when exercising, therefore I had to breathe heavily during the process. Yes, I agree that any physical activity, including dance and exercise, should be a regular part of your week moving forward. I often find myself dancing in my room because I move a lot naturally. I frequently utilize music to help me in my daily life get through my day.

Well, I did talk to myself neutrally this week—more so than usual, but also in a pleasant way. I'm used to talking to myself, and I usually do it before bed or in the shower. Alternatively, if I've been in a predicament and need to access it mentally. Since I've been doing it for so long and typically don't write it down physically but do so mentally, I've never really felt uncomfortable about talking to myself. Yet as a result of my experiences this week, I've realized how conscious I've become of my lifestyle and the changes I want to make. I also constantly remind myself of my ambitions and the reasons I must maintain my focus. Because you are the only one who can bring more awareness to yourself, this practice fosters the growth of self-awareness. You can accurately assess yourself, set objectives, and make changes to positively impact your life since no one knows you better than you do. I believe that your mental and emotional health are significantly impacted by the music you listen to. If you listen to depressing music, you'll be depressed; if you listen to aggressive music, your anger may increase. That is how it operates for me, at least. Hence, you should incorporate music into your daily exercise if you incorporate more upbeat music that motivates you to move and inspires you to just be active in your everyday life. As I indicated earlier, I automatically talk to myself in the shower or right before bed, therefore I think you should do the same. I wouldn't advise forcing yourself to do it every day though because you might not even have time to address it to yourself or may not really have anything you need or want, and that's completely fine. While keeping track of your mental health and development in anything you do is usually a good idea, it's not always necessary and depends on the individual in question.

My attention will be mostly directed into my personal business ventures, school, and my personal finances in the upcoming weeks. In order to prepare my "self-care kit" for the future frustrations, I will relax my brain by getting some sleep, listening to music, or just taking a break and using my energy elsewhere. These activities enable me to work as productively as possible. My priorities and how I allocated my time and energy gave me great insight into my work ethic and the amount of work I was capable of accomplishing when I truly set my mind to it.  Writing down my daily tasks in advance will help me control my calendar and help me be more productive all week. achieving small goals to prepare for the big picture. My relaxation techniques included taking walks in the outdoors and listening to music. along with exercise, which, as I am aware, trains both the body and the mind. I don't want to put off doing something just to put it off. I must eliminate any distractions because I am quite adept at becoming sidetracked. During my productivity periods, I need to turn off my phone and other devices.

Indeed, working on my small business was my modest aim for the week. After finishing some schoolwork on Monday, I was able to devote 1 hour to it. I just make sure that everyone has completed their portion so that my group and I can finish the larger task at hand. My group and I are highly active. It had a significant impact on me because it allowed me to demonstrate to myself that I can multitask, plan my time effectively, and complete my tasks. Setting concrete, quantifiable, realistic, relevant, and time-bound goals might, in my opinion, help you focus your efforts and improve your chances of success. so that you don't veer off the course and start traveling that dangerous route. By berating yourself when you don't get things finished by the deadline or by making unrealistic expectations for your situation. Overall, I think we mainly concentrated on effective time management, which is the efficient use of your time that enables you to schedule your days so you can get more done in the little time you have available. So, we are more likely to miss project deadlines and create subpar work when we lack effective time management abilities.

Time management, job completion, and communication with my peers have all gone well for me thus far in this course. Well, I finished what I needed to accomplish, and when it came to my group, I was the one making sure everyone was working as a team. Making sure everyone did their part was my responsibility, and I was truly the glue that held everything together. Certainly, I was able to think of solutions on the fly, but I would already have a strategy for how we would complete our assignment. Since the beginning of the semester, I have improved my self-control and discipline when it comes to doing work on time and managing my time.  The only distinctive times I can recall are when I just assumed the leadership position once we were divided into groups. I oversee the finances in addition to making contributions and promoting teamwork. Because I am a college student and an entrepreneur, I have a lot on my plate, making it difficult for me to tackle challenges like fitness and priorities. Usually, I use mental pauses or sleep to rest my body and regroup after challenges. I anticipate things to go according to plan in the next weeks because nothing I've done thus far has caused any harm, so why change? On Highpoint, I can utilize my natural resources, like my lecturer and numerous tools.

Yes, I was able to see the campus culture in at least 3 different ways. My buddies and I frequently experience stress and overwhelm on college. But even if it frustrates me, I think it's a natural part of life. When I have a lot of things planned for a day, I frequently slip into the busyness trap. I feel like I can't get things done since time seems to be slipping away from me. The only time I notice anything resembling a fam weekend on campus. The campus is typically highly busy because to the numerous people and vents. In order for me to manage with being busy, I usually re-organize my day, prioritize what's more important, and rearrange some responsibilities.

Yes, I successfully performed the work. A mental diet entails keeping tabs on your thoughts and nourishing yourself with uplifting material. Doubts and limiting beliefs aren't exactly welcome, but everything that empowers you and moves you closer to your goals is beneficial to you. The task provoked more thought than anything else. Both good and terrible can come through media. Depending on the media you consume, like inspirational quotes or daily affirmations.  Negative energy would be consumed by scrolling around Tiktok all day. I have a poor habit of believing there is always a good moment to do anything. However, I eventually had to learn and understand that there is never a perfect moment; you just have to take the risk and make the moment work. I want to use my time wisely and productively.

Yes, I consistently execute this task without realizing it. I frequently have quiet times when I just sit and consider the future. I always think about my future way of life and attempt to live it every day when I "visit" my future self. I also reassure myself again that, despite how it may appear in the here and now, I will have the future I want. Because I know other people my age who have achieved my exact ambitions, my future does feel realistic. Yes, it is worthwhile to spend time thinking about your future because when you speak your goals into the universe, they are more likely to come true. When I consider my future and give it some thought, it helps me be positive and in the present. I can make a plan in my thoughts and carry it out in the actual world, which helps me get closer to the future I want.
