    Wyatt,

    I love how you were able to incorporate so many powerful quotes into your blog. Many of these resonated with me, as they deal with having been "knocked down" while possessing the strength to "get back up." I've been discouraged lately as I feel as though I am not cut out for this pandemic, but as you have shown me, maybe this is just a way for me to increase my strength for future endeavors. These quotes all seem to hint that everything happens for a reason, that this entire pandemic isn't simply in vain for all of us. I am so thankful that you were able to provide me with this reassurance, not only that I will make it through, but that I will be better because of it.

Well-Being While Being Alone

 As life is constantly adjusting and throwing surprises my way, it is very important to me to be secure within myself, especially right now as we face COVID-19. As I sit in the house day after day unable to do much other than think my way though the day, I have done a lot of reflecting. I thought back on who I was this time last year, and realized I lacked a personal relationship with myself. I spent a lot of time alone, but didn't take the time to get to know myself and looking back, I see where that took a major toll on my life.  That being said, I have taken advantage of our current situation as much as I can as I along with everyone else undergoes self-isolation. I have made it my goal to get to know myself and prioritize my mental and physical health as well as overall well-being. I have found hobbies beyond social media and Netflix which has made a huge difference on how I feel throughout the day. I have found music, art, and companionship to be the building blocks...

Carrying On: Power Through Perseverance

This period of quarantine has proven difficult for all us in a myriad of ways. When we're faced with an arduous challenge we're often met at first with despairing thoughts; How will I get through this? Will things be the same? It's hard to block out the doubt and the worry, but I've found that the best way to work through times like these is to stay strong for the two most important things in your life. Yourself: And the people who care about you: Your Friends: The insane people you choose Your Family: The insane people you're stuck with Even your co-workers who made weird memes about you: The insane people you work alongside for a paycheck No matter how far away they may seem they're always caring about you, and for better or worse you're always caring about them. Everyone owes ...

During times like these, sometimes you find your mental health slipping. It is easy to get lost in confusion, disappointment, and frustration and can lead yourself into a dark place. It is important to take care of yourself during times of stress. Here are some ideas that i do to improve my well-being.  Get creative! It is important to keep yourself occupied and stimulated. Now is the time to become inspired and let your thoughts run wild! Everyones idea of creativity is different. You could write stories/poems, create/play music, draw, color, or paint! Recently, i painted a terra-cotta pot and planted succulents (which is something i wouldn't typically do). I also enjoy coloring inside coloring books while listening to music. Go outside! This one is extremely important. A lot of times when you are surrounded by the same things, you get a case of cabin fever. Go outside and get some fresh air and vitamin D! I have found that spending at least 20 minutes outside do...
