Genetic Factor

One genetic factor of mine is I look just like my dad but a girl. This has made it so a lot of people who knew him and my aunt always know that I am a Dirks. This impacts who I am because it is what I look like.

Physical Environment-positive

A positive part of my environment is living in Idaho. This is because I live in the same place as all my family and after being away for so long for the past four years I have gotten to see everyone. This has improved my mental health because I have been around a positive family.

Physical Environment- Negative

One negative thing for my health is bad weather. This is because I can't go outside and be in the sun. This can impact what I do for my physical health because I can't do things outside

Social Environment

My youth group impacts my social environment because they help me meet new people who help me grow in my faith. This is positive because it allows me to meet people who help me grow and improve my mental health and spiritual health.

Cultural

The culture that I am a part of is Christianity. This impacts my spiritual health because it helps me grow in my faith to be with people who are also trying to grow in faith. Being around those people can also help me know and understand who I am.

Technological- negative

One thing that impacts my health in a bad way is my phone. A lot when I'm going to work out I get on my phone and get super distracted and half the time don't work out. That impacts my physical health. It also impacts my mental health when I look at social media (even though I don't have much) I find myself comparing and that hurts my mental health.

Lifestyle- positive

28ldirks — 2024-09-08 21:38:49 UTC

One positive lifestyle choice I make is trying to work out 2-3 times a week. This helps me stay healthy and be able to continue to be active.

Technology-positive

28ldirks — 2024-09-08 21:45:35 UTC

One positive technology thing for me is being able to watch tv. Though you can watch too much tv it does help me be able to take a break for my brain. This helps my mental health because it just lets my brain rest.

Lifestyle- negative

28ldirks — 2024-09-08 21:53:42 UTC

One negative lifestyle choice I make is how much time I spend on my phone. I struggle with finding motivation to do a lot of stuff I need to get done when I choose to spend too much time on my phone.

Lifestyle-positive for others

28ldirks — 2024-09-08 21:56:22 UTC

One lifestyle choice I make that helps the people that I am close to is that I have made myself a person they can come to when they need to talk. This positively impacts me and my sister's mental health a lot because we are able to talk to each other about anything.
