1. I feel mindfulness has made a huge impact on understanding myself and my emotions. Because of mindfulness, I've learned what gets me upset and why I get upset. I've also learned not to get tangled up in my thoughts and just allow myself to feel my emotions. 2. I guess the impact is the understanding of how to write a PIE paragraph because it taught me that this is the way to write a college paper when I need to. When it comes to writing, I learned from PIE how to give out the most important pieces of information. 3. I guess being a part of a learning community helped me be more social because, I learned to express my opinion when packing back or editing papers, It also felt like what it would be like to work at a job. I also really enjoyed learning about how the mind works.
I've been tracking everything I've done since starting this gratitude journey. My success has come from socializing with my friends, family, and my dogs. The effect of me socially has made me grateful for the people I have in my life and how much I actually want to spend time with them. The struggles that happened when I was focusing on the negative moments in my life, which for a while made me forget the great moments in my life. If I could redo this project, I would do what John mentioned in his blog, taking walks, because I feel time for yourself is very important for your mental health. I also enjoyed reading Pablo's journey of exercise and how it does wonders for your mental health, which has inspired me to try exercising again. What I learned about blogging is it helps keep track of your goals and allows you to see the progress you’ve made.
