What are some of your “unhealthy” habits? Maybe you spend a little too much time scrolling through your phone, skip out on fruits and vegetables, or struggle to stay active. In this project, my class and I explored the wide range of habits that affect our daily lives—and how we can use video to inspire positive change and encourage healthier living.
For my contribution, I focused on the importance of building a routine that’s both flexible and consistent. Over the past few months, I’ve followed a routine that has genuinely improved my well-being. It’s helped me feel more balanced, motivated, and in control—and I wanted to share that experience with others in hopes that it might encourage them to find a structure that works for them too.
The concept of my video centers around four key elements I incorporate into my daily routine: quality sleep, regular physical activity, a balanced diet, and adaptability. These areas are crucial for many people, and I aimed to show not only how they benefit me, but how they can be tailored to fit anyone’s lifestyle. Ultimately, my goal was to highlight that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. You know yourself best, and the routine that helps you thrive might look different from someone else’s. My video reflects that idea—inviting viewers to experiment, adapt, and create healthy habits that feel sustainable and empowering.
Creating the video was the easiest part of the process, thanks to the guidance from my workbook. With a clear plan in place, I collected the media I needed, wrote a script, and began piecing everything together. The voiceovers were a bit challenging—I found myself going back and forth on how I wanted to phrase certain things—but in the end, I produced a video I’m truly proud of. I hope that it not only reflects the effort I put in but also inspires others to consider adding more routine and structure to their own lives.
We can improve the health and wellness of ourselves and others by making intentional, sustainable lifestyle choices and creating environments that support well-being. This includes maintaining balanced routines with regular exercise, nutritious meals, quality sleep, and time for rest and reflection. Just as importantly, fostering open conversations about mental health, setting realistic goals, and encouraging one another through positive support can make a lasting impact. Small changes—like walking more, cooking at home, or taking screen breaks—can add up over time, and when we share these habits and uplift each other, we build a healthier community together.
