I am Savannah Grace Jackson . I am a

00:05.596 --> 00:07.762
specialist and a big Red one soldier .

00:07.940 --> 00:10.162
The dimension of emotional strength has

00:10.162 --> 00:12.610
helped me overcome a difficult time

00:12.620 --> 00:14.564
when I first arrived at Fort Riley

00:14.564 --> 00:17.550
because as a brand new soldier coming

00:17.550 --> 00:19.717
out of a I . T . I'm nervous . There's

00:19.717 --> 00:21.772
a lot of anxiety . So reading really

00:21.772 --> 00:24.950
helps me because I like to have a calm

00:25.140 --> 00:27.030
and peaceful state of mind . So

00:27.040 --> 00:29.200
whenever I read , it's like it

00:29.200 --> 00:31.550
transports you to like another world .

00:31.560 --> 00:33.540
So it takes my mind away from my

00:33.540 --> 00:35.651
worries . So another thing that helps

00:35.651 --> 00:37.980
me with my mental state is yoga because

00:37.980 --> 00:41.110
it helps me re balance myself and I'm

00:41.110 --> 00:43.810
able to carry on with day to day

00:43.810 --> 00:45.921
activities , whether that be military

00:45.921 --> 00:48.560
duties or personal life situations .

00:52.840 --> 00:53.050
Mhm .
