As a child and teenager, often I found myself making mistakes or choices that were selfish. These choices may have affected those around me in a negative way. For example, not sharing with my sister, or coming home after my curfew despite knowing that my mom was waiting up for me. I often found it hard to apologize for my actions. ]]> 2020-07-16 17:01:05 UTC https://padlet.com/danirogerson/2g5tls36f85g36od/wish/656198829 danirogerson https://padlet.com/danirogerson/2g5tls36f85g36od/wish/656201214 Naturally, the older I have gotten the more "moral maturity" I have gained. As an adult, I have learned to accept responsibility for my actions. This has allowed me to grow as a person, one who strives to make good choices on a daily basis. Being able to accept responsibility for my actions has allowed my relationship with my husband to really grow in a positive way. It replaces blame, and instead focuses on making choices that demonstrate love and respect for one another. ]]> 2020-07-16 17:04:24 UTC https://padlet.com/danirogerson/2g5tls36f85g36od/wish/656201214 danirogerson https://padlet.com/danirogerson/2g5tls36f85g36od/wish/656220782 Taking care of my emotional health was not a top priority. Things like temper tantrums were common when I did not get my way. During this time, my parents helped me to deal with my emotions and feel better.]]> 2020-07-16 17:30:28 UTC https://padlet.com/danirogerson/2g5tls36f85g36od/wish/656220782 danirogerson https://padlet.com/danirogerson/2g5tls36f85g36od/wish/656220903 As a teenager, I was more independent from my parents. I started learning how to cope with my emotions on my own. This was a very important time in my life where I learned to navigate new relationships, heartbreak, hormonal changes. I turned to exercise as a way to help myself cope with new emotions. Although I was starting to cope with my emotions on my own, I still tended to "bottle up" my feelings.]]> 2020-07-16 17:30:39 UTC https://padlet.com/danirogerson/2g5tls36f85g36od/wish/656220903 danirogerson https://padlet.com/danirogerson/2g5tls36f85g36od/wish/656220940 As an adult, I am much better at handling my emotions, and making choices that benefit my emotional health. I prioritize self care through exercise, meditation, positive social experiences, and healthy eating.

When I am feeling overwhelmed, I talk to my coworkers. I find that this shows a lot of growth because I used to bottle up my feelings. It is important for me to remember that my coworkers have similar experiences to me, and therefore, are very understanding and supportive. ]]> 2020-07-16 17:30:58 UTC https://padlet.com/danirogerson/2g5tls36f85g36od/wish/656221094 danirogerson https://padlet.com/danirogerson/2g5tls36f85g36od/wish/656241180 Google Images Labelled for Reuse]]> 2020-07-16 17:57:35 UTC https://padlet.com/danirogerson/2g5tls36f85g36od/wish/656241180 danirogerson https://padlet.com/danirogerson/2g5tls36f85g36od/wish/656241772 Google Images Labelled for Reuse]]> 2020-07-16 17:58:26 UTC https://padlet.com/danirogerson/2g5tls36f85g36od/wish/656241772
