My Writing

Core Competency Reflection

When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I go for a walk. Walking is a good way to relax my mind and improve my mood. Also, I eat sweet desserts or snacks to help me re-focus on my work. It reduces stress and enhance feelings of calmness and contentment. My hand was shaking as I worked on Where the Blood Mixes – Graphic Novel, and I regretted not using technology to complete the assignment.

Some skills I have developed to make my creative activities better are asking my friends. I wasn’t sure what hues to use, so I asked a friend who enjoys drawing and painting. When I couldn’t figure out how to sketch the characters’ expressions, I took her for help. I also tried to consider many factors differently.

Some of the things I do to stay mentally and physically healthy include planning my schedule effectively, taking a deep breath and setting aside alone time. I made an effort to give myself some time to think about additional creative concepts while I was working on the project and feeling stressed.

My goal is more paying attention to the First Peoples’ and other cultures for myself going forward. To do that, I’m going to listen their words and stories carefully.
