Technology plays a major role in helping us learn new skills, whether they are minor or major. For my new lifestyle adoption, technology helped me in advanced research to explore all the options. It enabled me to make an effective assessment and learn at my own pace without strict protocols and deadlines (Morison, 2018). With technology enabled online groups and improved communication, I got the chance to interact with like-minded people and learned through their experience. We, as students are observing a major shift in our learning experience due to technology advancement. We have increased access to resources, which is improving our engagement with relevant material and outcomes of our learning. Technology has removed the conventional classroom boundaries and enables us to learn through YouTube and social media, which was previously considered as a waste of time (Himmelsbach, 2019).
Living a healthy lifestyle is easier said than done. I opted to convert my lifestyle into a healthy one, but it has been a very difficult skill to learn as it needs consistency more than anything else. My source of motivation came from my class lectures and blogs I have been writing previously about my so far progress. The research I did for the transformation of my lifestyle involved reading about lifestyles of other people who have successfully done what I am trying to do; their stories are also a source of motivation. I created a nutritional chart for own self which I am sharing here for my fellow friends to benefit from.
