Positive Body Image.

“Why can’t I just be skinnier” or “Why can’t I just gain more weight”, a question we always tend to ask ourselves. But do you ever stop to think “I am enough”?. Every day you look in the mirror and believe you are too fat or too skinny or even too weak to encourage yourself. But little do you realise how powerful your thoughts can be. Throughout the term, I have been learning about positive body image, I have learned quite a lot. A lot of things I have learned about positive body image have changed my mindset. For example, I’ve always thought negatively about myself because of my size and naturally how other people have looked at me. Today I have created two similar posters, both based around positive body image. My goal was trying to get people to understand that no one has the perfect body but everyone has the wrong mindset. The quote I have put together was written by different people but I’ve only put them into my own words. The quote says “Life is too short to let your mind define the way you look and feel about your body”, this means, stop allowing yourself to hurt yourself by the way you think, soon you will find out that all your life you were worried about the way people would stare at you and not focusing on the fact that “Perfection does not exist”, mainly if we are speaking about our body appearance. To all the students out in the community who believe that their body is out of shape or not to everyone else's standard, I want to encourage you to think differently, I would advise you not to listen to anyone's opinion if it is not positive. Find your worth and live up to your own standard, instead of trying to impress everyone else.

Lockdown - Digital Learning from home

Besides all the negative vibes that are currently flowing through the air during these times I have so far enjoyed the majority of my lockdown. Funny thing is… for my family we don’t stand by the rules but no ones perfect and we are not here to judge one another, anyway, my family and I have been celebrating birthdays and achievements by gathering together in one house. Social distancing - not too much of a problem considering that all I do is sit at home all day, except for my mum and brother, who stay in the same household with me as well as my two older siblings,  they are essential workers. It’s never frightening, the fact that it's possible for them to carry the Virus and spread it around because we all are confident that we're stronger than the bug.

Despite the fact that I have been busy cleaning a lot of the time, I still manage to have a relaxing time with there being a large amount of time in my hands. This is an image of my learning area, digital learning from home. It isn’t always like this, one because I hardly do my work and two because today I was just feeling like a snack. As you can see, I was watching some muckbang, which is a popular trend on youtube for youtubers at the moment. There are also chips, noodles and tuna alongside my 2 devices which are very helpful for my hunger. Of course we cannot forget about the lovely bottle of water because we need to keep hydrated throughout the day and so forth.

Every morning our class starts the day with a bit of writing which we call quick write. Here are some examples of my writing.

The Unseen

This film is based on healthy choices mixed with a horror, the message we are trying to put out is "If you do not stay healthy this can happen to you".

Our sessions with Constable Taina are very much like life lessons, Today will be our last session with Constable Taina and I have learnt a lot from our sessions.

My monster writting

Turtle and the shark

The turtle and the shark went swimming around the ch looking for food to eat, they also did treasure hunts around the soft sand. A man sighted the turtle and the shark swimming with some of the gold from the treasure box. The turtle swam away from the shark with half of the treasure and never came back. 

Chicken and bear writing

Once upon a time there lived a bear in the wild woods, the bear loved to eat strange but tasty animals.

One day a chicken was wondering around bears bush and bear was awfully hungry, bear couldn't control himself and ate the chicken feeling terribly ill right after.

The next morning bear was feeling guilty but that didn’t keep him from eating wild animals. Bear was feeling sick and didn’t know what to do, later on that day bear died and a wolf came to eat him.
