@RaaschGabriela University in and of itself is a big stressor for a lot of people! Meditation techniques has helped me a lot aswell. Along with meditation, I say daily affirmations to keep the mind less negative and practice more positive self talk for a more uplifted mood! #HKR1000
WellTrack made me realize being around people constantly is exhausting. I need to take more time for myself. I found meditation before starting my day or before bed really helps me get my mood at a more positive place. Have you tried meditation? What's your experience?

@NicholasGreeni8#HKR1000 Great article! really highlights the dangers of engaging in a sedentary lifestyle. The pandemic has the majority being less active but the students & people with desk jobs are seeing this majorly. Being inactive at the workplace & in your off hours has impacted people.
The article linked talks about how the pandemic has increased stress levels & lowered physical activity. But, people that stayed active show better mental health. We know from #HKR1000 being active lowers levels of stress. Yet high levels of stress can lower physical activity.
@EmmaLayman8 I agree, social wellness is so important, a good support system can help with the other aspects of wellness like our emotionl, spiritual, intellectual and physical wellness. Having people to support your decisions, cheer you on and help you along the way helps SO much. #HKR1000
#HKR1000 class scored a 68.84% on emotional wellness. A high score considering the pandemic. Good levels of determination & high spirtual wellness like a positive outlook & enjoyment of activities. This helps improve emotional wellness. What things do you do to uplift yourself?
I personally feel that the ammout people are payed for certain jobs is unfair. Minimum wage jobs require maximum effort and I think that's not right. People living paycheck to paycheck isn't fair. This is putting more stress and mental unwellness on to our workers #GS1000W2081
The Heath care system especially in NL needs a lot of improvement. I have experienced being a woman an having doctors not take my symptoms seriously and I can say first hand that it's not a good feeling when you're in pain and they don't see it from your POV #GS1000W2081
The modeling industry has had a horrible effect on women's body image over the years. having to be that perfect weight which is clearly very underweight, makes the people who don't fit that category feel bad about themselves. We should be shining light on all bodys #GS1000W2081
I think it's so funny when someone says "I'm not racist but" like whatever you say after that statement is racist therefore claiming you're not after a racist comment do not make you a better person #GS1000W2081
Growing up very close to a few individuals with disabilities I have seen that these people get treated differently within societies eyes. yes as a child I knew they were a little different but that didn't mean they were undeserving of things like love or their dreams #GS1000W2081
Watching two spirit makes me feel so proud that people now have the voice to be able to express themselfs and explain how they feel inside without being afraid of being judged or rejected, because it's such a sad life living in someone else's expectations of you. #GS1000W2081
Watching the video how we got gay and understanding what these people felt is heartbreaking. I know what it feels like to be told to hide your sexuality and having your family be ashamed because you're "diffrent". Coming from a homophobic family/town isn't easy #GS1000W2081
@SynyardChad I personally love that you have made this statement, people don't *excuse my language* understand how dumb they sound when they make homophobic comments like this. This angers me as a fellow queer that our default when born is set at hetro and anything diffrent is not normal.
I'm so proud of how far we have come in the LGBT+ community, though there is still a lot of hate around the topic, today there is even more support. Coming out is still not an easy task but even if your family doesn't support you there are so many people who will #GS1000W2081
@Charm_petrine To share a personal experience, being apart of the LGBT+ community and experiencing rejection from my family even today has been super hard for me mentally..I know that today alot of people are more accepting then they were in the past but not having support from family sucks.
Watching the sissy boy experiment really upsets me to think people would turn to beating their child for their innocent behavior. this traumatic experience caused the man to take his own life. This could have been avoided if they just left the child alone #gs1000w2081
@celinedelaneyy I agree that gender is more of a spectrum, and that people often feel as they don't fit into any one of the two categories so they make their own. While biological sex is diffrent than gender identity. A person is assigned a sex at birth but that doesn't determine their gender.
