What are your thoughts on meditation?
When it comes to positive coping strategies and helpful self-care techniques, I like to hear what others do to self-soothe — even if it’s only to feel better for a momentary basis. One coping strategy that I find helpful, but often hear mixed reviews and ideas about, is meditation.
My Reflection
For me, meditation has helped me learn to connect with myself and my thoughts better; but I do feel like I have to be in a calm place mentally to meditate effectively, which leaves me procrastinating more times than not.
What are your thoughts? Do you think meditation is helpful for you or a bust?

What are you passionate about?
When it comes to our passions, we can think about things that spark a light in us or make us feel good. A passion can be anything from a hobby, a truth, value or philosophy, or a cause that helps out others as well as ourselves.
My Reflection
My passion is in mental health advocacy, community building, and creativity.

Write an imagery poem about how you’re feeling today.
Let’s practice our imagery writing skills!
⭐ Imagery is a literary device where you use vivid descriptions that appeal to a reader’s senses and imagination to create an image or idea in their head.
Here is my poem:
My ears are buzzing and ringing.
Bees and telephones.
Bees and telephones.
I’m wide awake.
Eyes like owls in the prime of night.
So much to do.
Time feels crammed into a soda can. There’s not enough of it, I’m craving more. I wish for more. Oh no! I missed the shooting star that just flew by.
I’m ready. Ready for what? Ready to rush?
I can’t. I need to take my time like a sloth. Going too fast makes me lose my breath. I’m hunched over because I can’t breathe.
Deep breaths. Deep breaths.
I can do it.
Run this race?
But, it’s not a race, remember?
I can slow down.
My heart is slowing down. Each beat like a soft drum.
I’m safe. I can slow down.
I’m doing good.
