Activity 1 and 2
Activity One: Elevator Ride
1. Lifting Mood- One activity I use to lift my mood is to exercise. I love to be active. Exercising makes me feel good. It gives me energy, and keeps me in shape. It lifts my mood and eases my worries. I like to run on a treadmill, lift weights, play sports, and snowboard. Time is the major obstacle. Trying to find the time to work out is extremely hard. Ultimately I would like to work out every day in order to do so right now I would have to cut down on the amount of hours of sleep I get a night. Working and going to school full-time has been a major obstacle. As well as just starting a new relationship. Trying to balance everything has been extremely difficult. The only thing that I can do right now in my career/school/and current life is to work out whenever I get the chance.
