Passion projects are a great way of improving yourself and discovering things you want to be passionate about. Another way to explain a passion project is “....it's a challenge that you willingly embrace...” (Marelisa). Doing a passion project will make you learn new skills and provide you with more opportunities.
Here are some passion project ideas:
Start a website
Start a book/ story
Create a gallery of your photos
Learn a new language
Learn a new self defense

Personal health is very important to our life, because it can determine how successful we are. Personal health comes in a variety, such as physical health, emotional, financial, mental, etc. It’s important to know when to take breaks and to do things that keep you from being stressed over everything.
Here are some activities:
Write your feelings down
Read
Take long walks
Hang out with a friend (it could simply be running errands as well)
Organize your room (if you do it by sections, it’s less hectic)
Watch movies
Catch up on old friends/ family
Create lists (of anything!)
