Recreation | Relaxation | Relationships

“I think making good relationships with the residents and people, in general, is an element that can help in most situations. Recreation is a good one for me because being outside is relaxing for me. And I think most people will do well if they can find that “thing” that helps them clear their minds and just be present. Relaxation is also important for me because it is something that I use. Meditation and reflection are the biggest components of that for me.”

“Hope to me is just about showing people that there is a way to overcome the adversities you are facing and not let them define who you are or who you become.”

“Nutrition is important because when you eat good you feel good. Relaxation is huge because it allows you a distraction and escapes from reality. Relationships benefit everyone. Having a bond with someone makes you feel less alone and more loved.”

“Hope means there is always something to hold on to. If you do not have hope, you have no motivation to better yourself or others.”
