Plans For The Future:
Over this past semester it has been a fun experience trying something new that I didn't have much experience with. I enjoyed the process and I do plan to continue crocheting I've learned a lot through this semester about what all it takes to crochet. I think that this process has helped me work on patience, learning new ways to destress, and doing something in my free time instead of just watching the T.V or scrolling through my phone. This process has definitely made me understand more what it takes to learn or relearn tasks and how hard and frustrating it can be when trying to do something and it doesn't turn out how you would like it to. To finish out the last blog of the semester I decided to crochet a dinosaur, I thought it would of taken a lot longer than it did and it was much easier than expected.
Not the best picture but it turned out better than I expected it would.
Topics That Have Been Influential:
There were quite a few topics that were covered this semester that are important and have helped me understand the need for occupational therapy and how meaning in created through occupation. Some of the topics that I thought had the biggest influence on my learning was flow, place and space, occupation as identity, autonomy and self determination, storytelling, and story making. I feel that these topics really explained how the use of occupation help creates meaning in someones life and what it can do for someone. The examples used in the readings give a real perspective on how they affect people and what is does for them.
Recommendations:
When choosing a new occupation I recommend getting out of your comfort zone, don't try something new that you feel won't be hard to do. Getting out of your box allows you to explore new things and also discover more about yourself. It also allows for more experience and a better understanding of what it takes to learn new things and be able to incorporate it into your everyday life.
