The song that I chose for this is SZA’s new song, Good Days. I created a playlist that has varying songs that all spawn from different genres. Each song is a bit different in its’ sound and messages but I feel they all fit the theme of self value. Each of these songs make me self reflect and almost remind me what I should be doing and how I can be improving myself, even if that includes hard work like cutting out toxic people and seeing the toxicity within myself.

Staying fit helps me to feel free and energetic in any aspect of my life. To remain fit, I would go to the gym about 3-5 days a week, with varying exercises each time I went. I think diversifying your workout routines to target different parts of your body can really help to keep your body balanced and overall fit. Eating healthy on top of consistent working out helps to retain any muscle and lead to more energy for workouts. I have seen the effects of this, such as being happier, feeling more energetic, and having a clearer head. Due to COVID-19 however, I saw the effects of not staying fit. When the gyms closed I struggled to remain working out at home because it started to get harder and harder to push myself to try. This has really shown me the benefits of being fit. Because when I’m not fit, I feel constantly tired, hungry, not as happy. I am looking forward to the day when I can go to the gym without fear of getting sick so I can feel like myself again. I’ve seen what staying fit has done for me especially when I was no longer fit. Staying fit can be very hard, especially during a global pandemic. It is always a push to get yourself to try and even the smallest achievements can be everything. I can’t wait to push myself and turn 2021 into a new journey for myself to get back into fitness and finally feel like me again.
