LiveWell

After completing the LiveWell session one,  I realized I can commit to fit exercising into my daily schedule without stressing on how these 30 minutes I could have been doing other things on my daily to do list.  I will try my best to eat better, stress less and exercise daily.

Active Minds

Posted on February 19, 2017 by | Leave a comment

Active Minds was founded by Alison Malmon shortly after her older brother Brian, college senior, committed suicide. Active Minds is “trying to change conversation about mental health”.  I think that Active Minds campus chapters should be in every college. Students need support and they need to know that they are not alone when dealing with mental health problems. Couple years ago my friend was very depressed. She was feeling helpless and thought that there is no way out from her situation. She went to see psychologist at the college wellness center. In the middle of conversation when she was crying and explaining to him what’s going on in her life, someone knocked at the door and entered his cabinet. Psychologist told this person: “We are almost done here, just wait outside”. My friend immediately stood up, said “thank you” and left. No need to say that she felt rejected and got depressed even more. I am very glad that my friend found strength to go through this difficult time in her life without doing any harm to herself.

Live Well. Session 1

Posted on February 19, 2017 by | Leave a comment

After the online behavioral evaluation, it became clear that my eating habits as well as stress management skills need no improvement ( maintenance stage). My exercise habits, however, can not be enhanced for a different reason-there are no such ones ( precontemplation stage).  I tried many times to become physically active, but never succeeded. Hopefully, the story will be different this time…

Mental Illness affects many Americans nationwide each year. This organization helps students in need of help that may otherwise be ignored or untreated. When I think of suicidal deaths among campuses, this is a on going problem that many Americans deal with and not understand what it is. Providing awareness, help and educating the public may ease the embarrassment that most would feel to seek help. As in the case with Brian Miamon, awareness, advisement and early treatment may have prevented his suicide.

Live well session 1

The session was interesting. The questions were very helpful and basic on everyday obstacles that one endures. I was placed in the “active” phase, quite simply because I started a diet on January 1st and my goal was to lose 22lbs by the 6th week which is the current week. Not precise, but close at 20lbs shed. Though working out and staying healthy was always an important part of my life, I really implemented it with more dedication at the start of the new year. Eating healthy has been a routine since I approached my 30th year and anticipate on keeping the stride going. I will continue to see improvements in the current months and look forward to using Live Well as a guide. The mental part of the session was also interesting as stress is inevitable in our daily lives because we as human beings must face the daily challenges in our lives.
