LiveWell Session 2

Posted on April 18, 2017 | Leave a comment

I always start well with my food, picking fruit and vegetables over starch and junk food. I realized that although I start well,  I end  up having iced caramel macchiato, it’s so hard to resist. I don’t feel too bad about it since overall I am eating a lot better and do have regular exercises. In order to have more fruits on the go, I get strawberry pineapple smoothies in water. I’ve always try to choose healthier alternatives and cook my own meals, it’s something my mother instilled in me over the years.

Active Minds is a non-profit organization that has become well known to broadcast topics of young adult’s mental health. Mental health has been set aside since it is something that can not be physically viewed by everyone. Active Minds educates people about different types of mental illness, which can help and even save many lives. With support from everyone in the organization, a person can view their mental state in a different light. This organization is extremely helpful, many college student have to face reality when in college. During college, a student has to face many situations and life experience. Not everyone’s mind is the same, a situation is dealt differently depending on the person. This organization takes that away and instead focuses on the individual.

After completing my first session on LiveWell, I am able to notice the things that I  haven’t been maintaining. My dad and I would go to the gym at 4am every weekday, but since then I have become more busy. Instead, I exercises at home for 30 minutes,3 times a week. I enjoy exercising since it wakes me up and gets me motivated to start the day. Viewing the LiveWell results, I need to improve my healthy eating choices. I have tried eating well before but somehow I tend to stray off track. I completed an exercise and it does offer great hints into how to eat healthy. Hopefully by the end of the semester, I can have and maintain a healthy eating habit.
