November 2020
My CAS journal for November 2020.
Creativity
Painting
This month I also worked with acrylic paints, but this time I wanted to concentrate more on shape and color. Starting I didn't really have a plan for the piece, but as I kept going it started to take shape. I'm often really drawn to flowy, curved shapes and I think this really comes to attention in this piece which I like. When making this, I never really thought a lot I just went with what I liked at the moment and this made the painting process really fun.

Activity
Strengthening exercises
It's been about a month of resting now and my leg feels so much better, but I'm still not allowed any running or jumping as it causes vibrations on my heel making my shin injury worst. By now I'm pretty sure I fractured the muscle in my right shin called gastrocnemius. I have been working on gradually strengthening it until It's back to Its original mobility by doing a lot of shin strengthening weight exercises like calf raises, hip raises, and similar. I also make sure not to stretch the muscle as this can lead to further tearing of it. I hope I can start to gradually start running again soon.

Service
7Cups
This month I continued helping people and educating myself on the 7cups website. I noticed a lot fewer people were asking for help so I wasn't able to talk with people as much as I have last month. This Isn't good but it also wasn't as bad as it meant I could concentrate much more on the cources on the website making me able to get much more training meaning I was able to got more certificates. All of this will result in me being able to be better at helping people on the platform as I get more and more educated on certain themes. with this free time I was able to get my certificate for family stress, hope, grief, listener community guide, lonlinliness and menaging emotions.
