Focus Journal Entry

Your journal entry should explain which focus strategy that you are using, why you chose it and how it is helping you during this round of online learning. You can also explain how this might help you in your CAS project.

The strategy I chose was mediation. I choose this strategy because it is something that I rarely do and I would like to incorporate into my life. Throughout meditation, I’m able to relax for 5 minutes and let all my stress go away. After my mediation, I’m going to be able to feel more open-minded about ideas and be more relaxed when I do my work. Throughout my online learning so far I’ve only been able to meditate once but it has helped me feel more comfortable with my thoughts and be organized with all my work. As well, due to all the homework and project I have, I’m able to feel less stressed and think better. This meditation can be beneficial for my CAS because currently due to the new school lockdown some of our plans are being disrupted so throughout mediation I will be able to plan new ideas and see how we can continue with our previous ones.

Also, explain what you are doing for your CAS project this week. What are the steps that you are taking to move your project forward? Why are they necessary? What will you do next? How does it change with virtual learning?

This week for CAS we are planning to see how we can continue with our previous plans that took place at school. Also well, we have planned to start seeing some goods in our town to collect a decent amount of money to give more donations to our families. We are planning to contact a man who might be willing to donate some money for our project. Also, we have to give out some of the donated clothes to the families but we might have a garage sale to collect some money. The new online learning system is a distal aspect of our project but we are going to overcome it and make our project a success.

Activity, what activity are you doing to make sure that you aren’t stuck in your house in front of your computer? How is it going? How is it helping you be emotionally balanced?

The activity that I’m doing in order to not be stuck in my house is going to my aunt’s house and talking with my cousins for a while. This distracts me for a while from all the work and things I have to get done. So far it is going well because It gives me a little break from school and all my stress.
