From using moodcheck I have realized that my happiest moods are when I’m exercising or hanging out with others. I’m an overthinker so being alone is when my brain starts to wander. Being with others and exercising are great ways to distract from negative thoughts. #HKR1000

@mikhaileydiane I agree. The only time my mood was really low was when I was worrying about the outcome of an assessment. Sometimes it’s hard to handle failure without experiencing negative emotions but I just remind myself that one test will not make or break me. #hkr1000

https://t.co/DDJrwFMekm This article does really well at putting things into perspective. Too many people focus on calories and carbs instead of caring what exactly is in their food. Just because something is low in calories doesn’t mean it’s healthy. #HKR1000

@natasha61815440 Whenever I find myself stressed or overwhelmed I try and find time to do some sort of exercise. It is much better to take a few minutes to exercise and clear your head than to stress about what needs to be done. #HKR1000

Overall, I think our hkr class is fairly healthy. We could, however improve a little bit in physical and spiritual wellness. This comes with making time for exercise, being conscious of our food habits and taking time to be mindful on a regular basis, just to name a few. #hkr1000

Eating responsibly is important because the food you put into your body has a major impact on your overall physical health. Your body needs to right fuel to function properly and to it’s greatest potential. #hkr1000

I wasn’t surprised to see that only 65.31% of our hkr class eat responsibly. It can sometimes be hard to make healthy choices in university but it helps to buy healthy foods in bulk to save money and prepare meals ahead of time, especially on busy days. #hkr1000

@atrimm3 I agree! I personally love doing yoga because it is one of the few mindfulness activities that engage both the body and mind. Exercise is very important to keep the body healthy but a healthy mind is crucial, especially during stressful times like exams. #hkr1000
