For Peoples Choice #4 I am choosing Maria. https://openlab.citytech.cuny.edu/belli-sp2021-eng3402/2021/03/08/thoughts-on-self-care/
I love Maria’s approach to what self-care is and how it is not only doing practices such as yoga or meditation but also removing negativity from your life. I think Maria’s story is very inspiring!
My People’s Choice goes to Maria for her post titled, “Thoughts on Self-Care.”
I chose her post because I liked how she really defined what self-care means to her and explained a personal history that relates to self-care. I also admire how strong she was in the tough decision she made in get herself out of an uncomfortable situation. Not many people, especially women, have the strength and courage to do what she did in creating a better life for herself. She realized that she could no longer listen to others’ opinion and comments, because she is her own person and she needed to live the life she wanted.
This week my People’s Choice goes to Anil.
In his post he writes, “Some of the things I have done aside from relax watching All star weekend, I did some meditation. It was my first time doing it in a while but I figured since this weekend was a time for self care, I gave it a shot and honestly I will be doing it more frequently because it did more than I thought it would.”
I chose Anil because he randomly tried meditating and actually found it to be beneficial to him. I also like how overall the emphasis is on self-care not just meaning in terms of your physical state but also your mental state, and how he references in other people.
My choice goes to Reem

I choose her because I agree with her when she says along the lines of if you do not treat yourself right, how are you suppose to treat others. Not that I disagree with anyone else. I just thought that was a really strong statement.
My choice for People Choice #4 is Maria!

She explained what self-care meant to her and then she described her routine with details.
I vote for Courtney because as part of her self-care routine she seems to have something that I never had, probably never will, lol, I mean she mentioned that she wakes up at 2 or 3 AM.

This week I choose Robby for people’s choice based on his definition and explanation of what self-help means.
“Self-Care to me is being both physically and mentally healthy, nothing more and nothing less.”(Robby)
Then goes on to explain the vast avenues just having your mental and physical health can consist of and what you can achieve by having these general goals. This includes my journey as well as someone well established and accomplished. This way of thinking to me is an important base line.
Congrats to Maria for being this week’s People’s Choice! 🙂
