What You Put into Your Body

You Are What You Eat - SOMOS

How many times have you heard the saying "you are what you eat?" Since eat and consume are synonyms, I am going to switch one for the other here; this changes the saying to "you are what you consume." Now, I want to bring your attention to something: you don't only consume what you eat, but what you listen to, read, watch, tell yourself, etc. This is colossal.

What you tell yourself, if you say it enough, you will start to believe, and that will affect your actions as well. What you watch affects the way you think. What you read affects the way you think. What you listen to affects the way you think. There are also numerous studies done on how what you listen to, read, and watch can affect your mood(s).

I believe this is really important. I have been paying close attention to the music I listen to, how I've been dressing, and what I have been reading. I have changed all of these things to try and match the person I want to be. I have been listening to more Christian music and reading more books that are about topics I enjoy learning about. I have been doing my best to dress in outfits that are a bit more formal than my athletic clothes that I wear to workouts.

I am taking tiny steps in the right direction towards who I want to be, and I urge you to do the same. I do this because tomorrow is not promised, and I do not want to have any regrets.

Flowers

Flowers are gorgeous, And they should be treated right. I felt gorgeous, too. When someone says to Treat something right, they mean that It should be taken Very good care of. Flowers should have the backs of Other flowers, and Make sure they're okay. A rose should help a daisy If a human tries To trample on her And destroy what makes her safe. Humans can be harsh. When a rose does not Have the back of a daisy, The daisy can be Hurt in a way that She can never fully heal From, and that's tragic. The rose did her best To save the daisy, but she Slipped up for a split Second, and the man Was able to inflict pain To the daisy that She may never come To fully heal. The daisy Does not blame the rose. It is sad flowers Are required to have each Others' backs to stay Safe from men when they Are in such a public place, But that is the case.

Update on My Research Process

I have been working on my research for this research paper, and I have found three sources. I have one .edu source and two scholarly articles for sources. One of these scholarly articles is from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the other is an original research paper (I believe it was an anthropological study). In the past, I have taken the approach of a politician almost, and that has caused me to take quotes out of context and use them to my advantage. While this does create a paper with evidence, it also creates an argument that isn't solid. I will not be doing this for this paper because I am actually writing about something I care about. I am not a politician that constantly takes someone else's words and uses them out of context to benefit myself; the only time I have ever done it is in one research paper in high school. I have found overwhelming support for many of my clai...

The Documentary Summary from Down Below

I thought I knew what I was doing when I set out to write my Doc. Summary, which I did because I knew how to set up my paper. I started with a thesis statement, and then outlined the rest of my paper. I have been writing objective summaries since elementary school, so I wasn’t too worried about that part. I was a little iffy on the analysis part because I didn’t know what my professor was looking for, and it took a while for me to get the hang of it. At first, I set up my essay almost as two separate papers; the first half was the summary, and the second half was the analysis. Both had their own introduction and conclusion paragraphs and their own thesis statements. I took this paper to class with me, and my professor wasn’t too keen on the set up, so I kind of had a mental breakdown because my brain couldn’t figure out how to organize a paper like she wanted. I sat on her comme...
