Many people have been isolated and separated from their friends and family and have trouble staying connected. Spreading awareness about how to deal with loneliness can be very beneficial.]]> 2021-02-22 20:21:47 UTC https://padlet.com/lalevine/PJLCprojectdiscussion/wish/1228600235 Ana Cervantes https://padlet.com/lalevine/PJLCprojectdiscussion/wish/1228602173 I love this topic because it is something that a lot of people are going through and especially nowadays due to all the COVID-19 restrictions. This could help people in our community realize that they are not alone and that everyone will get through it together!!]]> 2021-02-22 20:22:17 UTC https://padlet.com/lalevine/PJLCprojectdiscussion/wish/1228602173 danielgallo809 https://padlet.com/lalevine/PJLCprojectdiscussion/wish/1228687103 Daniel Gallo- I think this is an important topic to talk about because of how some may feel at the moment. Social distancing and restrictions have made people feel forced to be at home and lonely. Many cannot see family or friends and are feeling lonely because of it. ]]> 2021-02-22 20:43:45 UTC https://padlet.com/lalevine/PJLCprojectdiscussion/wish/1228687103 Fariha https://padlet.com/lalevine/PJLCprojectdiscussion/wish/1229355372 Loneliness is a topic that is crucial among people at a young age. These are the years where we explore ourselves and what our place in this world is. But in order to perform that action, we need to talk to others to learn and grow. Unfortunately, that simple step is a challenge. However, we cannot our self worth be hindered because of limited outside time. ]]> 2021-02-23 01:24:51 UTC https://padlet.com/lalevine/PJLCprojectdiscussion/wish/1229355372 Fariha https://padlet.com/lalevine/PJLCprojectdiscussion/wish/1229357498 It is important that we make our time that we use for chatting with loved ones instead be used for things that make us happy. Your fun time may be outside of the house, but a little effort can sprout desire in us. We should make the best use of what we have and find out new hobbies that are within our reach. This is also a good time to connect and reconcile with others now that you have more time. ]]> 2021-02-23 01:26:02 UTC https://padlet.com/lalevine/PJLCprojectdiscussion/wish/1229357498 Fariha https://padlet.com/lalevine/PJLCprojectdiscussion/wish/1229359330 Key takeaways when understanding the benefits of loneliness includes exploring who we are in a different background. Distance helps others realize who we miss the most, therefore, who we feel are important in our lives. Now that we have more time, we can try out new interests that we may have not been able to do before. Due to our circumstances, it is a time to be thankful for what we have since everyday is another risk. ]]> 2021-02-23 01:27:06 UTC https://padlet.com/lalevine/PJLCprojectdiscussion/wish/1229359330 Fariha https://padlet.com/lalevine/PJLCprojectdiscussion/wish/1229360099 Healthy habits contribute to our daily actions and make us better people if we target each habit. Living a happy and healthy lifestyle should be in mind. And that should start with the habits. No one should force it on themselves like a burden. Taking it slow and understanding one’s own process could help one make themselves a person with a better lifestyle. ]]> 2021-02-23 01:27:29 UTC https://padlet.com/lalevine/PJLCprojectdiscussion/wish/1229360099 Fariha https://padlet.com/lalevine/PJLCprojectdiscussion/wish/1229360934 Healthy Eating Habits should include:

When involved with an action that can be beneficial, we could be better in the actions that we normally perform, with enthusiasm. Having a strong mindset in one’s work and a positive attitude may strengthen relationships with others. ]]> 2021-02-23 01:28:12 UTC https://padlet.com/lalevine/PJLCprojectdiscussion/wish/1229361526
