Spiritual Wellbeing

Question #1. There are a number of global issues and crises that can challenge an individual’s values and ethics. The major events that have challenged my own values and ethics include the COVID-19 pandemic, systemic racism, LGBTQIA+ discrimination, and policing. There are many online forums available for individuals to help better understand how to think, feel, and act towards life-altering events. By browsing forums online, people can choose to share their stories and gain multiple perspectives.

Question #2. My friends and family give me a sense of meaning and purpose in life. If I ever become discouraged or stuck, I can always go to a loved one for their advice and perspective.

Question #3. I definitely feel less connected to others when I am faced with moments of uncertainty for the future. This really came into effect during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. To protect myself from doubt, I reach out to the people who I know can ground and center me. These people include my friends, family, and my boyfriend.

Activity: PEACE poem

Perfectionism has no place here
Each day is a new opportunity for growth
Accept what you cannot change
Choose love always
Everyone is deserving of peace
