LiveWell 1st Session

Posted on February 16, 2017 by | 2 comments

I would say my 1st session went well. For exercise, I am in the precontemplation phase which I knew already. I always have the urge to go to the gym or to run outside but I never do. For healthy eating, I am in the contemplation phase. I am slowly but surely trying to eat healthier by cutting out sugar from my diet as much as possible and eating less processed foods, especially processed meats which contain a lot of nitrates that can affect my asthma. I try to consume dairy products but I believe that there are other ways to get calcium and vitamin D without drinking milk or eating yogurt, cheese, etc. I believe that we shouldn’t be consuming milk past our infant-toddler ages but that’s just me. For stress management, I am in the action phase. I’m always stressed so I’m always looking for ways to relieve that whether it be taking walks or just sleeping. Overall, I think LiveWell can help in the long-run and give me that push to better myself.

I think it’s great what this organization is doing. I didn’t know that there are so many students that are so stressed while attending school to the point where they want to end their lives. Active minds provides a lot of support to people to who need it. They make you aware of general health information for individuals and families together. They also provide some financial support which is great. They are really striving to educate people about mental health problems and how to find solutions to those problems. They provide so much information and help for someone who is in need.

LiveWell 1st Session

Posted on February 16, 2017 by | Leave a comment

After finishing the first session for LiveWell I noticed in what stage I fall in when it comes to exercise, eating and stress management. I am actually in the contemplation stage for exercising.  Going through this session it has motivated me to start exercising again despite how busy I am. I am going to prove to myself that I could do it and to be a healthier version of myself. I go on healthy spree’s all the time like eating better, exercising more, and I enjoy the feeling of being healthy, but it is so easy to fall back into old habits due to being busy or even lazy. With this program I have identified my weaknesses in terms of trying to live a healthier lifestyle and that was the push I needed to start. This is a really good program because it lets you know many facets of where you are in terms of your day to day lifestyle. I do have to say that within all the stages the only one I got precontemplation was in strength training exercise I am not really good at that. However, in eating fruits and vegetables I’m in contemplation and for stress I’m in action.
