Reflection on this semester

 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.

End of my Gratitude journey

  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.

Blog post number #4

  I'm grateful that I got to see my uncles and cousins on Thanksgiving. For years since I was a baby, I would always go to my uncle's house for Thanksgiving I was practically raised in that house. I always played with my cousins, who are now all my age. I hope for more years, we can still celebrate Thanksgiving with them and in that house. 

Blog number 3 of Gratitude Journey

   I was sick this whole week, so I didn't get to do much, but the one thing I'm grateful for is my dogs. I always lay in my bed, and they were with me. I appreciated how they didn't care that I wasn't playing fetch or taking them on a walk, but they just wanted to be by me and give me company. They would lay in my bed with me for hours, and whenever I got up, they would follow me. I'm very grateful to have such loving and caring dogs. They never left my side and were always there with me when I was suffering from my cold symptoms. 

Gratitude Journey #2

In My Gratitude Journal, I wrote How I was thankful for making it to all my classes(except one) even though I had a cold and was sick. I was always thankful for how I happy I was when socializing with my classmates from PSY?ENG. I'm also grateful that I was able to play with my dogs this week watching them run around crazy. I'm also glad I played UNO in my Thursday class and won which my teacher says I can get fifteen extra credit points for any assignment of my choosing. The last thing I'm grateful for is slowly coming out of my shell and being more open and myself.

Plog post #1.5

  This is the symbol of Gratitude  My wish is to appreciate every great moment no matter how big or small moment. The reason I want to do that is because I will have a better outlook on life and a more positive attitude. The obstacles would be when I get depressed I will isolate myself in my room while I'm thinking about negative thoughts, or If I have a bad moment in my day I let it ruin the rest of my day. I will walk my dogs every weekend on Fridays, and write in my gratitude journal every day on what I'm grateful for.

#1 Begging of my Graditude Journey

  I chose this because I've come to realize that I really focus on what I don't have, so now I want to focus on what I do have. I want to practice this because I want to change my way of thinking. I will learn to enjoy small moments/wins in my life and just focus on the negative moments, and I'm expecting that this can help improve my chronic pain. I will engage in this once or twice a week, track my activities in my gratitude journal, and include images of myself in my blogs. I can't practice this because I believe my mental health will improve.
