Reflections on May Mental Health

 Several of the entries on the blogs last month were linked to a mental health challenge calendar that I did. The final activity (which I was supposed to do on Saturday) was a reflection letter to myself. Figure I might as well post that here too.

Dear me,

All in all, I think that went pretty well. Besides the daily goals, I was supposed to set three goals for the month, I picked:

1. Exercise 5 days a week: Some days this was just some light calisthenics and stretches, but I think I hit 5 days every week except for the week I was mostly laid up from the fall.

2. Get to bed by 10 on work nights: Did not go so well. It's a constant struggle. And now it's summer so I might change my bedtime anyway. We'll see.

3. Memorize at least 1 piece: I did "This is just to say..." around mid month, and got "Tears in the rain" yesterday. Success!

Beyond that, I enjoyed several of the daily challenges. A few of them were things like walk in nature, which is always a favorite. I had some good talks with my wife about mental health. It got me a couple free blog posts, which is nice. All in all, I think this is was one of the better challenges of this type that I've seen. Most of the activities were enjoyable, easy, and active. A lot of times you see these and it's just stuff like BE THANKFUL FOR SOMETHING! 

Sincerely,
Me
