Module 2 brought a lot of interesting challenges for me and was a way to help me shape a plan for what I wanted my home life to look and feel like in these crazy times. After looking at the concept board I had created, I decided to try and sit down and set a time limit of 30 to 40 minutes to flesh out 50 ideas that would work for my personal life and things I could work on it to make my situation as best as possible and grow. The list talks about a variety of things ranging from how I can interact with friends to how I’m going to be able to eat. There were 5 ideas that I found to be the best opportunities to help me achieve my vision that I set out on my concept board. The first idea of creating an in home gym is very key for me. My board shows multiple pictures of working out so it’s safe to safe it is very important to me to maintain my strength and conditioning during a time where no gym is available to me. I must be able to stay up date with the competition so I don’t let my team down and myself down come season time because there are no excuses. Creating my own work space along with treating school like I’m at college are two very important ways to achieve my ideal at home vision. Just because we left school doesn’t mean we are in summer mode, and it’s honestly harder to lock in and take school serious in an environment we are used to being school free in college and a place for vacation. Creating a work space with no distractions from my parents, sister, or especially my nephew is huge to being able to focus and get my work done, as you can see on my concept board it is one of the bigger images. Creating a strict class schedule and sticking to it will bring structure to somewhat “free” at home life as well. Taking at least an hour outside everyday will be huge as the outdoors is a big part of my life. I have depicted a couple outdoor activities on my concept board because I feel as though it is essential to get fresh air, run around, do whatever you need to to keep your mental health and just health in general. It is also a great way to take see friends at an acceptable 6 feet apart. Lastly, help family and friends stay positive is big in my life. I show a lot of family and friend interaction in my board, and just being able to check in and make sure all my people are okay will help me feel better about the situation and have a better positive outlook on it. Whether that be digitally or through safe social distancing practices, it is big for me to stay in contact with my people.
