REFLECTION QUESTIONAction Track: Building Resilience Connect While Social DistancingHow does connecting with others help your own mental and emotional health? How can it help support others?
Sarah Johnson 4/16/2020 9:28 PMI am happier when talking to my family and friends. I can lean on them if needed and they can lean on me if needed. During this time a lot of us often get frustrated and down. We need a friendly voice to pick us up sometimes. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONPeople Spend Time OutsideRachel Carson said that we need the beauty and mysteries of the natural world for our spiritual and emotional development. Does that ring true for you? What are the implications for a culture that spends most of its time indoors?
Sarah Johnson 4/14/2020 10:02 AMI do believe we need the outdoors. I know I am more relaxed and calm after spending sometime outside. Plus its a way to get rid of stored up energy in your body. If not released the right way could turn into anxiety or anger and cause mental health issues. I have a son with such issues. I know he sometimes will just do laps around the house to get out this energy. It helps. He feels more calm. -
