It barely even affected my grade anyway :D)

However, I am trying to keep myself updated on the current events with Ukraine, so I am not necessarily limiting my intake of the news in this case (although I am able to let things go and move on pretty easily)

I discussed with my partner what we needed to do in order to be successful, and made a list of actions we needed to take :).

I had rushed and been a little impatient when doing the test, which had led to this grade. Fortunately for me, it was my intent to be a little faster with the test, and now I know that the best way for ME to take tests is to be slow and methodical :)]]> 2022-03-04 20:42:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ccol1529623/qbu8jdwhyyzagknb/wish/2078601941 ccol1529623 https://padlet.com/ccol1529623/qbu8jdwhyyzagknb/wish/2082520389 This morning I practiced a mindfulness technique about gratefulness, in which I would sit down, relax myself, and ask myself the question; "who, or what, do you appreciate most in your life right now?" in that exact wording, as if I was asking somebody else. This is supposed to promote a certain FEELING of gratitude, and I believe I felt that this morning :D.]]> 2022-03-07 20:42:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ccol1529623/qbu8jdwhyyzagknb/wish/2082520389 ccol1529623 https://padlet.com/ccol1529623/qbu8jdwhyyzagknb/wish/2084818605 (3/8/22)
Today, and over the course of a few days, I have limited my intake of the news of Ukraine. Of course, I want to know of the updates about the war going on over in Ukraine, but not so much to where I am obsessing over it. Therefore, I took a few days break and will continue to do so, only being notifying of the extremely important things going on.]]> 2022-03-08 20:40:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ccol1529623/qbu8jdwhyyzagknb/wish/2084818605 ccol1529623 https://padlet.com/ccol1529623/qbu8jdwhyyzagknb/wish/2084822831 Yesterday, we had to make goals for swimming; we would write down two individual events to decrease our time on, and mine were the 50 free and the 100 free. I  have the goal of bringing my 50 free down to a time of 32 seconds, and decreasing my time on the 100 free down to 1:20, I believe.

I chose, from what I can remember, the 200 free, 100 fly, and 100 free! Usually I would pick easier events, such as the 100 free or 50 free, but this time I decided to go out of my way and choose events that would be more difficult (particularly 100 fly, as that is a very straining/tiring technique).]]> 2022-04-05 19:46:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ccol1529623/qbu8jdwhyyzagknb/wish/2131370429 ccol1529623 https://padlet.com/ccol1529623/qbu8jdwhyyzagknb/wish/2133153285 A couple days ago, I decided to take my Apple Watch off to stop getting notifications about basically everything!

We had to do a 100 free decreasing time interval workout, and I only got 3 100's in before I was out of breath. The way I usually take a breath when swimming would include either my nose or my mouth, or a mixture of both. Having this erratic, off-tempo breathing really threw me off and I felt extremely tired. HOWEVER...
I decided that I would only breath out through my nose and in through my mouth. This helped me GREATLY in how I performed during practice, as my body felt like it was getting the oxygen it needed. In this way I was able to push myself further and further through the set, and get a good workout in!]]> 2022-04-15 19:47:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ccol1529623/qbu8jdwhyyzagknb/wish/2145140626 ccol1529623 https://padlet.com/ccol1529623/qbu8jdwhyyzagknb/wish/2149182885 I, for whatever reason (there was a reason) was feeling really terrible.
