the instructions and questions will be bold and underlined at the bottom. Providing you with what I have already done as well.
My first post :
I am hoping this challenge will help me to recognize the importance of my mental health and allow me to take care of myself.
Hello all, my 30 day challenge is to improve my mental health. I’m not the best at caring for my self and paying attention to my mental wellbeing, so this challenge is a way for me to focus on myself for a change. I plan to do this by taking one small self care day a week, like going for a walk in the woods, reading a book by the lake, or anything else in nature that will help me relax and be mindful of my mental health. It will be hard for me to prioritize my own wellbeing, so I’m going to reward myself with a nice dinner out with family once I complete the 30 day challenge. This challenge is my way of showing myself how important my mental health is and how I should be taking care of it.
My second post :
1. Restate your change- what did you choose to change and why? I chose to change my mental well being. How is your change going? I am planning on having a self care day once a week. This week I took a walk near a creek that runs through Chico state while I was listening to music and trying to make friends with the wildlife I encountered. Are you killin it? Is it killing you? It’s hard for me to put time aside for myself but I think I am doing ok with this. It does feel good to focus on me now and then.
2. What are things that are going well? What obstacles are hindering you? If there are obstacles, what will you do differently this coming week? I think this coming week I want to set more time aside. I want to have 2 days with about 2 hours of me time each day
3. Have you noticed any changes in the way you feel physically, mentally or emotionally? Please describe.
I have always found it difficult to balance my coursework and my home life. I often feel overwhelmed by the amount of work I have to do and the amount of time I have to spend with my family. In the past, I would often neglect my family in order to focus on my studies, and this would lead to feelings of guilt. Recently, however, I have become more confident in my ability to manage both. I now allocate time for both my coursework and my family, and I am able to give myself some much needed me time. I no longer feel as guilty for wanting to focus on my studies, and I have even been able to take on extra responsibilities in my home life, knowing that I can still manage my coursework. My family has noticed the difference, and they are very supportive of my goals. I feel more confident about my future, and I am looking forward to seeing what I can achieve
4. Have things been easier or harder than you anticipated? How so? Why or why not?
I thought that finding time to take care of myself would be easier once my kids were old enough to be more independent, but I have quickly realized that between their school and extra-curricular activities, and my own school work, there is no time to spare. I have tried to make time to do things I enjoy, such as reading a book or going for a jog, but with the kids always needing something, I find myself constantly pressed for time. It seems like I’m running from one task to the next, and never having enough time in the day to take a break. Even when I do sit down for a few minutes, I’m bombarded with guilt for not doing more or spending time with my kids. It can be overwhelming and exhausting, and it’s a struggle to find the balance between taking care of myself and taking care of my family.
5. Is your accountability partner holding you accountable? Have you shared your change with anyone outside of your AP? Why or why not? They are easier so far than I expected. I have my husband as an accountant ability par right now and he’s not doing too much for encouragement for the well being but he is doing amazing at helping me remember my coursework and encouraging me through my anatomy class.
Third post
My 30 day challenge is finding time for more me time,sadly that fails this week I have not been able to get away and have time for myself. My son is learning letters but is struggling with it big time, so we are working more on letters at my house with him and that is taking the place of my time right now. So this week it’s killing me. I it’s harder and harder to find time for myself and because of that I am stressed and this assignment is taking a toll on me.
My weekends and week days are filled with activities and social events that I need to attend. I usually don’t get to spend time with friends or just do things I want to do. Even when I am home, I am usually doing something that I have to do instead of something I want to do. All of this makes it hard to focus on the things I need to do like school work and studying for tests. I feel like I need to decide what is important to me and make sure I have time for those things. I know I have to prioritize and make some tough decisions in order to make sure I am taking care of myself and my family. It’s hard to balance everything, but I know that I can do it if I stay organized and focused. Finding time for myself has become a real challenge lately. I know I need to take time to focus on my own health, but it’s become a stressful and difficult task. I feel like I’m constantly trying to force myself to find the time, but this is not helping my health in any way. Instead, the pressure I’m putting on myself is just adding to my stress. I’m struggling to make time for myself, but I know it’s important. I need to find a way to make it work without adding any more stress to my life. Perhaps I need to reevaluate my priorities and focus on what really matters to me so that I can make time for myself without feeling overwhelmed. Only then will I be able to find a balance between my health and my other commitments
Forth post.
My aim for the next 30 days is to find more time for me, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to meet that goal this week because I haven’t been able to sneak away and have some time to myself. My son is learning the letters in the alphabet but is having a very difficult time with it. As a result, we are focusing more of our attention on the alphabet with him at my house, and this is taking up most of my time at the moment. So far it’s been very difficult for me this week. I am finding it harder and more difficult to make time for myself, which is contributing to my stress, which in turn is making this task more difficult for me to complete.My weekdays and weekends are equally jam-packed with obligations that necessitate my presence at numerous meetings and activities. In most circumstances, I am unable to spend time with friends or engage in activities that I enjoy. Even when I’m at home, I’m usually preoccupied with something I have to do rather than something I want to do. All of this makes it difficult for me to focus on the things that I need to do, such as finish my schoolwork and study for my tests. I have the impression that I need to pick which areas of my life are most essential to me and then make time for those aspects. I am conscious that in order to care for myself and my family, I will need to create priorities and make some difficult decisions. Keeping track of everything can be difficult, but I’ve discovered that if I stay organized and keep my attention on the task at hand, I can succeed. Making time for myself has become increasingly tough for me recently. I am conscious that I must devote time to my own health, but doing so has become a stressful and difficult undertaking for me. I get the sensation that I am constantly forcing myself to make time for it, despite the fact that this is not conducive to my health in any way. Instead, the pressure I put on myself only adds to the stress I’m already under. I’m having trouble making time for myself, but I know it’s necessary. I need to figure out how to make it work without adding any additional stress to my life, and I need to do it as soon as possible. To find time for myself without feeling overwhelmed, I may need to reconsider how I prioritize my priorities and focus on the things that are actually essential to me. When that happens, and only then, will I be able to create a balance between my physical well-being and the numerous other duties I have.
Final post (I need this done)
Guidelines for writing your post
This discussion post is designed to replace a paper so that is the frame of mind you should be in when writing this. Use complete sentences, avoid using “you” and answer all of the prompts thoroughly.
What I really want to know is:
1. What behavior did you choose to change and why?
2. Did you succeed?! Rate how well you achieved your measurable goal. Ex- if you were trying to only eat out once a week, that’s 4-5 times in 30 days. How many days did you actually eat out in total? If so, what do you think contributed to that? If not, what do you think contributed to that?
3. Did abstaining/changing the activity feel different? If so, how? Please be specific.
What physical, mental or emotional changes did you notice in yourself? Please describe. Tell stories and give specific examples. Ex- I noticed my overall energy and ability to focus was better. I have an 8am class that I usually fall asleep in but I stayed awake in that class!
4. How did your relationships with other people change? Did you have to switch up who you were spending time with or what you spent time doing? Did other people change their behavior, attitudes, or feelings toward you as a result of the experiment? If so, how did you feel or react to these changes?
5. How did your other activities change? Please describe, be specific and give examples.
6. Did you cheat at all? Please describe and give examples.
7. How were your actions and feelings at all similar to an addicted person? How were your experiences different from those of truly addicted people? You need to describe BOTH pieces to this. This response should be thoughtful and include both pieces of this question.
8. How did this exercise make you feel about addiction? How have your feelings changed? What insight have you gained?
9. Will you continue your behavior change? Why or why not? Did you go back to your “old” behavior? What did that feel like?
The journal ( I need this done started this challenge at the beginning of September.)
Here is where you will submit your behavior change journal! Remember the first few weeks of your change, where I said you should be keeping a journal to track your progress for your change? Here is where you will submit that!
A couple of things:
1. If you typed your journal in a Word doc, you can upload as is!
2. If you typed your journal In a google doc, you will have to convert it to a Word doc. If you try to upload a link, it won’t work, I won’t be able to click on it and you won’t get credit for this assignment.
3. If you hand wrote your journal, you will need to take pictures of your journal and upload all photos into ONE WORD DOC. Turn It In does not allow for more than one submission so you cannot upload each photo individually.
If you totally forgot about doing this, I suggest you do your best to create something so you get some credit for this.
