CLE

I found the presentation very intriguing because of how the 5 life areas worked and what they meant. I always went about with a self check-in in the morning and one before I went to bed, but I didn’t realize how this actually helped me until I saw this presentation about how each life area is interdependent on each other and how we live on the same five principles, and I realized how we as humans are actually so close knit. The presentation really opened my eyes because now I am more self aware and understand that my actions not only affect others, but also myself because down the road I would be the one either receiving the rewards of my work, or suffering from a lack of work. I never really focused on the social aspect of the life areas, as I thought I should be fine in that aspect. But after the presentation I really started thinking about my social life and realized how tough the pandemic has made it to even retain friends. Maybe it’s just me but I feel like because of the cohort system, some friends that I originally had in the opposite cohort have kinda drifted and I didn’t really pay attention to it. I feel very dumbfounded because I realized that although I could be counted as a mature individual, I still have much to learn in order to even be ready for society. Understanding where I need to change is a key aspect of how I can shape myself to be a better person. I personally feel that this presentation impacts me the most because it allows me to have guidelines on what areas I could improve on and what the expectations for them are. To hear something this important from an addictions centre is also very interesting, because it breaks that stereotypical norm of oh addiction centres are for people with problems, and instead makes all of us think, do we all have a problem? And how can we change it? Also, it made me think about my phone usage, I thought I didn’t use my phone a lot because I hear others that have very dramatic screen time numbers. But after looking at my own numbers I realized that I use my phone a lot. I feel like I need to change my habits about my device and this presentation really got the ball rolling on how to change and why I should change, so that I won’t become fully addicted to my device. Anyways, that’s about it with this response to a single presentation. I guess I’ll leave it here as really don’t have much to say except for at myself that I should start changing or I’m gonna end up a lot worse than now.
