(S28) I pursue physical and mental health Everyone has those days when they are down and sad and need a spark of happiness. That happened to me quite alot. I had bad mental health during my freshman year. This resulted in me having anxiety and stress which resulted in mental unhealthiness, resulting in a lack of concentration, health and emotionality. I realised that this had to change. Four days ago, I was full of anxiety, depression and sadness and just needed to be alone and take my mind off of things. I live north of Sapporo station, and I love exploring. So I went exploring to take my mind off of things since that is what I love to do. I went with a couple of my friends to Nishi 28 and dropped them off, and then I walked through the pouring rain, 10 kilometers back to my home. I came home happier and more mentally stable. I listened to happy music, took photos, went on a date with my umbrella and danced. Lol so sad, but that is what I needed at the moment xD. Above are the photos I took in order to calm myself down. The photo of the building looked really beautiful to me when I took it and made me feel happy. The TV tower is a landmark that I always look to, so I took a picture of that as well. But the picture of the moon is my favorite. It helped me reflect on how small our problems actually are, seeing how small we are compared to the moon. By going home in the rain (running) I was able to manage my own mental health, all while also pursuing my physical health. This helped me calm down and work things out. Next time, when I am down, I will go out and just take out my sadness and anger by using my body and running my heart out. I will do my best to push myself so that I can forget what I am worrying about. Life is hard, but life is good and it is short. I can make life good if I try to. I will smile I will be a light to others. This date with myself helped me get ahold of my mental health, all while also allowing me to get physically healthy. This is personally very important to me, as I love going outdoors. I encourage everybody to do the same, and do something they love when something goes wrong.
