CDM Progress Report

@ouiCherie

* Which discussion was the last you completed?

Day 1: I finished 1-5 in one day, yey! :D

* What are some things you struggled with or didn't quite get right the first time around?

As mentioned in the orientation, I'm a mood-based learner. While it's not necessarily a big deal as I can finish everything I'm supposed to on or before the deadline still, I feel unproductive sometimes.

* What went well? Share some tips you find helpful to help others.

Make time for it and make sure you're working in a space that you're comfortable with. Writing is an art and as a writer, you're an artist. Those aren't just words, those are parts of you being expressed on paper (or Google Docs or Microsoft Word or wherever you were typing). So make sure you have everything you need before you dive into the assignments :)

As for me, I need some munchies, hot chocolate, epic music, and really soft space to sit in on <3

Hello hello, checking in for week 2!

1. Which discussion was the last you completed?

- D5, D6 is in progress

What are some things you struggled with or didn't quite get right the first time around?

- I struggled with letting myself relax and let my creativity flow through me when creating ideas for the D6 content

What went well? Share some tips you find helpful to help others.

- I quickly recognized that what I was experiencing anxiety, however not out of fear. Out of excitement to be here and to be doing this for myself, my future, and to the people that our compassionate content will reach. It helped the most that within my anxiety, I identified which emotion it was connected to 💙

I wish my fellow Trainees and our Leaders the best, this week and forward! "May the Light be with you"

@ouiCherie

The last discussion I completed was Community Questions and Answers: The Basis of Mental Health Awareness and Support, which I really enjoyed!

One thing I didn't get the first time round was the weekly progress reports actually, haha. I wasn't sure whether we were supposed to check in on this thread, on the google form, or both?

I think one thing that went well this week was the activity in the Community Questions and Answers: The Basis of Mental Health Awareness and Support discussion, because I got in far more keywords than I expected to.

Greetings,

I have fallen a bit behind. Our family fell ill, and I am playing catch up. The last assignment I completed was the Community Question and Response. This is step 2.

I look forward to creating my graphic for a quote, and I enjoyed reading all of the creative quotes of my fellow classmates. I saw some great work!! I am learning a lot from reading how others approach the assignments. The sharing of information has been so valuable.

I will have to pace myself moving forward and read through all the instructions, so I do not miss specific instructions. I am looking forward to a more productive week!

@ouiCherie

1. Which discussion was the last you completed?

Discussion 4. I couldn't complete the discussions after this, as it got too busy

1. What are some things you struggled with or didn't quite get right the first time around?

Keeping up the momentum that I first had with the program, because of my unexpected busy offline

My new realistic system of time blocking so that I can catch up to the discussions that I couldn't this week and to not be hard on myself :)

Ahh, I've made it to week 3 😌 This has been truly rewarding, it's helped slowly reel my repressed creativity out in both writing and graphic design

1. Which discussion was the last you completed? - D12, currently working on my graphic design for D13 :D
2. What are some things you struggled with or didn't quite get right the first time around? - I honestly just need to calm down lol enthusiasm is fine, being overly excited is the problem. If I can remember to calm down and read the assignment thoroughly, it wouldn't put so much pressure on completing it. The instructions are very clear and quite simple
3. What went well? Share some tips you find helpful to help others. - I learn professional skills from our assignments, the way I prioritize and make sure I've thoroughly reviewed the instructions has helped me in my personal life as well. It's like the 7 cups techniques and study tips are multi-applicable (I hope that's a word 😅)
