(*¯ ︶ ¯*) en-us 2022-05-10 04:40:16 UTC 2022-05-10 07:27:22 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f337.png kth516 https://padlet.com/ychen265/healthyhabits/wish/2176936235 As college students, we're often told we need to choose between a social life, sleep, or our grades. Looking back on last week's topic on social connection and this week's topic of healthy habits, which aspects do you tend to prioritize over others? For example, how important is maintaining a regular sleep schedule to you that you'd sacrifice meeting people and going out with friends? Are there objective and/or subjective weights to these aspects of our daily lives? (Carissa)

How do you think we can push our society to become less focused on success, and more focused on the well-being of the individual? How would the implementation and acceptance of prioritizing routine, sleep, exercise, flow activities, etc. help individuals be able to achieve the good life more easily? (Kinsey)

How does our routine impact our social connections with others? When we have a more structured routine that we stick to, does it impact how deep our social connections are?

How did the perceived purpose of your routine change when this happened? At a time when you were at fault for falling out of your routine, how did this make you feel compared to when (not in your control) you fell out of your routine? (Simon)

Do you think that routines can be driven by different types of motivations and that the type of motivation you have can affect your mental health? For example, one person might exercise so they can get stronger and stay healthy but another person could be exercising because they feel pressured to have a certain body type. (Velinda)

How do you think our society could rewrite the benefits of exercise so that they are not tied to just physical health but also mental health, and what do you think the potential effect would be? Should there be mandatory exercise even in university curriculums? (Simon)

What routines or habits would you consider to be the most beneficial to you and how do those relate to previous readings? (Dean)

Heintzelman discusses how living a life characterized by routine was associated with a higher meaning of life. Do you think that the predictability of a routine life is something that we unconsciously strive for?

How might this also apply to the use of social media? Could using social media as a routine (using it at the same time every day) also help increase the feeling of meaning in life, even with merely passive engagement in social media? How might the passive vs active engagement mediate the relationship? (Felice)

How does social media contribute to comparison culture of our life routines? What are some positives and negatives of people publicizing their specific routines and regimes around health and lifestyle?

(Izzy)

I think the pandemic gave everybody a new sense of what a routine is. Many people lost sports, music, group activities, and other parts of their daily lives that constituted their routines. How did losing our routines by being inside 24/7 affect our meaning in life and subjective wellbeing? (Lauren)

(Dean)

Kushlev et al. (2020) explain how being physically healthy can improve one's happiness and being happy can improve one's physical health. This creates a positive feedback loop, but if someone has poor physical health and is unhappy, should one intervene by trying to improve physical or mental health first? (Lauren)]]> 2022-05-10 05:22:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ychen265/healthyhabits/wish/2176977086 hanvaeh https://padlet.com/ychen265/healthyhabits/wish/2176984009 How do you think society's focus on productivity have changed the way people sleep? (Velinda)

We have talked at length about how Western society overemphasizes the importance of work and promotes a toxic culture surrounding productivity, often at the expense of other things that can improve well-being, e.g. sleep. Even at a young age this is engrained into us- high schoolers pulling all nighters to study for tests and complete assignments, sacrificing sleep when they need it the most. How can we fix this issue and shift our line of thinking around it? (Sarah)]]> 2022-05-10 05:27:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ychen265/healthyhabits/wish/2176984009
