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.
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.
Gratitude is a great choice–the way you talk about focusing on what you DO have–and I also like your choice of visuals!
