Through this Semester, I have encountered many stressful situations with my classes, a full time job and being able to maintain a healthy lifestyle was challenging. Livewell sessions have kept me to some degree maintain a healthy lifestyle. I am able to manage my stress level and follow some of the tips they recommend. I am currently in the maintenance stage and very happy.  It’s a great tool and encourages you to keep going.

Livewell session 2

I work in a pre-school and due to my busy schedule attaining a good amount of fruits and vegetables can be challenging  at times. My students  are provided with daily meals by a food company and usually it consist of a good amount of healthy food and snack, and that’s where I come in. I  love fruits and vegetables so I take the opportunity whenever they are having breakfast and lunch, I would  eat my fruits  and vegetables with them daily. So my diet is consist of fruits and vegetables daily and it actually feels good that I can manage eating healthy throughout my busy schedule.

Livewell 1 session

  1. I did my first exercise on Live well and I must say it’s very interesting. I am on the maintenance stage, which I’m surprise, because I feel I am not doing enough to get in shape where my exercise routine is concern, I also try to eat fruits and vegetables everyday and drink lots of water. I was in the gym full time before and because of my busy schedule with work and school I am unable to attend the gym regularly , although its not a full setup or doesn’t seems like much, this picture is a constant reminder that I need to keep my exercise regime up.  So when I am doing my school work, I can get in a few minutes of weight training. It’s still challenging but I am trying.    Abiola

Active Minds

Great organization that Alison Malmon founded for college students to express their feelings and can relate to other students that might be going through the same thing they’re dealing with. Working as a Mental Health Counselor at ICL- Institute for Community Living that housed clients with Axis 1 diagnosis, most with schizoaffective adults is very challenging to see and having to deal with clients living with this illness is disheartening.

This outlet will give students the support they seek and need and also encourage them on a daily basis to try their best, to not give up and if their having a not so good day they can come here for support and be encourage , also know they are not going through this alone. All the daily stressors of school and dealing with their illness can be over whelming and having the necessary tools to handle those stresses is important and vital to their coping and well being. Great organization, Great outlet.
