When coming up with a list of words that I wanted to convey in my concept board, they all made me feel like summer last year. The main words that I wanted to focus on were happy, calm and relaxed, active, organized, and productive.
My first focus was the word happy as it has always been something that I want to be in life. With all the change and big mood killers such as not being able to play lacrosse again for a while, not being with friends, and just not being on campus, there is a lot to make people unhappy. The first thing that I want to work on is doing things that will make me happy through these hard times.
The second is calm and relaxed, yet productive. I feel as though I have been pretty relaxed since I have so much more free time than I ever did at school, so I am less stressed out. However, sometimes I feel like I am too relaxed and rather than doing school work, I may watch more Netflix. I want to be able to have an environment and mindset where I can be relaxed and not stress out about time since I have so much more, yet still, be productive in getting my school work done. In addition to being productive, I also want to be organized again. I very much like structure and organization in my environment, and with having such a big change so fast my schedule has disappeared quickly and my room has no order to it. I hope to be able to take the time to clean everything up and create some kind of order or schedule for myself, which I think will help with productivity.
Finally, I want to focus on being active. I am not a person who can just sit around for hours on end doing nothing. I very much need to be outside and doing stuff. Thankfully my trainer is still giving us workouts we have to do for lacrosse so that I am staying active, but I would like to go on longer runs or adventures such as hikes and beach walks. I also think that being active would look like getting out of the house more to go for drives to the beach or hang out with friends (six feet apart) and still do things in person. I hope to be able to achieve all of these and make the best of the situation given to us.
