PERDEV 3 Mental Health Activity Calendar

Mental health is important because it impacts their thoughts, behaviors and emotions. Having a healthy mental health changes an individual’s point of view in life, by having a positive point of view, it promotes the productivity and function of a person, in regards to school, work and more. Having a healthy mental health also helps in maintaining healthy relationships with people and helps you better adapt and cope to the changes in life.

To start the August 2020 mental health calendar, we want to share a quote by Wayne Dyer, “A great hallmark of mental wellness is the ability to be in the present moment, fully and with no thoughts of being elsewhere.”

My family celebrates randomly for dad’s day, we celebrate it because we want to thank our dad for all of the things he did to us. Without his teachings and care for us, we wouldn’t be who we are today. For me, dad is a very important character in a family that is why I promised to be the best father to my children.

I usually play League of Legends at night with my old friends before I sleep. I started playing it again since we are all quarantined. We call each other up at discord while playing. We laugh, tell jokes, tell stories while playing, it is super fun when you’re playing with friends and we always try to win or rank up our accounts.

Every day after I eat lunch, I always try to finish the tasks that have been given to me that day or at least plan the things that I am going to be doing in order to have a clean flow of the things that I have to finish and if ever I will get tired of doing my assignments, I will just continue it at night.

Stretching helps improve the blood flow in your body. This is why I always do it every time I get out of my bed. It has always been my habit of mine to stretch every time that I wake up. Stretching over time will help you be more flexible and will reduce cramps when doing physical activities.

Throughout the day I have chores that are assigned to me like washing the dishes, brooming the floor and mopping the floor. I need to do this because my family has no maid and this is how I help my family by doing my duties and responsibilities.

Checking up on my friends is very essential during quarantine, even though my friends and I are far away from each other and study from different schools. For example, my friend Seymour, who lives in Cagayan de Oro, we are still close even though he is very far away because we are still in touch with him and also my friends that study from different universities like ADMU, DLSU, and UST. Maintaining a healthy and close relationship with them is very important for a long-lasting friendship.

In my free time, the things that I like to do are listening to music, watching series and playing games. The streaming service that I use is Netflix, the most recent show that I have finished is Avatar, the Last Airbender and Rick and Morty. The shows that are my all-time favorites are Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, and How I Met Your Mother. 

I have a twin brother named James, I am closest to him in my family. We like to do a lot of things like just talking to each other and working out together. We do not look so much alike now but still look similar to each other. My close friends immediately know and can tell us apart but others are still confused as to which is which. 

I do not just work and study hard. I am also a video gamer. I love playing mobile games. I play Mobile Legends and Call of Duty. I find these games really amusing since you get to play with your friends. We will compete with our stats and ranks. This drives the competitiveness in me. I always make sure that I will work and play hard. Playing games relaxes my mind and makes me more lively.

During the quarantine, I have gained plenty of time for all the activities or things that I want to do. I feel like studying is always important. I study every day but I make sure that at least 1 day of the week, I check up on my modules and requirements. I believe that creating good study habits is very beneficial for one’s mental health.

This lockdown period gave me so much time for myself. I always made sure that I had time for my daily workout sessions and exercises. I always want to maintain a fit and healthy body. I do a lot of core workouts since I believe that the core is one of the biggest muscle groups in our body. Utilizing our body’s capabilities are important for our health. I usually get my mind focused on what I am going to do. It really helps me to think and react better.

I always get reminded that I should always do my household chores. For today, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and try washing the dishes. At first, it was very difficult for me but I was able to get the hang of it eventually. I am thankful for the experience since it taught me to be more persevering and patient. I don’t think that washing the dishes in the future will not be a problem for me.

I am a very funny and chill person but I watch youtube videos to learn more exciting facts. I will usually watch 5-minute crafts and Mobile game videos. I watch youtube to learn how to do the things I find difficult. It gives me relaxation and at the same time learning. Youtube is very convenient for me since I can just search the type of videos that I want to watch.

I love my family. This is why this quarantine made us all happy. We were able to spend more time with each other. Even if we are not the richest or the best family, I am very grateful to have a family like mine. I am reminded by God to count my blessings every day since not everybody has a complete and happy family. We will usually watch movies or play games together.
