I want to discuss topic about grief & depression. [A ZOOM EFFECT TRANSITION] So, I want to discuss, and do you remember the first thing you go into your doctor’s office. You are sitting in the doctor’s office and waiting for them come in. Doctor’s come in and approach to you start asking you questions. The first question the ask “Do you have depression in last two or six weeks?”. Second question they ask “Do you have thoughts about committed suicide or hurt yourself? “Lastly they will ask “Do you have anyone abusive or hurt you?” Those all most common they ask you. I noticed they ask the same questions over and over every time I come to the doctor’s office. I was puzzled why they ask me that, so I decided to ask directly to the doctor. I found out why because many people high percentage of depression, and abusive. If they see symptoms, then they have immediately report on them to try save those people lives. Now I understand why they tend to ask those questions. I was “Wow” and I decided to go home and research more about grief and depression. When I read it and said 33% top depression “Wow” and I was shocked never thought about that since covid-19. Since June 2020 of last year 31% depression that’s number one. Secondly, it said 26% stressing that was found. Lastly, 11% of people who thoughts of committed suicide. When I look at that result, I was constantly thinking myself like wow high percentage people depression due to covid-19. I totally understand felt related to this want to discuss about grief and depression. I worked for my job for 6 years in San Francisco and working there for a long time. All suddenly and unexpecting that I was laid off and had to leave my job after 6 years. I was very overwhelmed and thinking about how I am going to pay bills, finances, and foods. I decided to go ahead and apply for Unemployment Insurance “UI” that will help me to pay my bills of what I need and, I apply for food stamps. I started doing that for a while now. Since I was laid off, I have been applying so many jobs and did so many interviews some do not hire me or pick another candidate. I just continue applying more job and not to give up. But somehow, I started to feel depressed, isolated at home, not much going out due to Covid-19 so I felt so overwhelmed and coping this. Last year I had 3 family members died and can’t go to their funeral. My aunt passed away and she live in Houston, Texas and I can’t be able to travel due to covid-19. Thanks to my family who videotape for family members only. Everything I went through and decided to seek for counseling to able to help me and control my depression. Counselor said it very normal and most common for everyone right now due to Covid-19. Because so many people are losing jobs, evicted home, becoming homeless, some live in their cars, and some don’t have no place to live. It really impacted so many people since covid-19. I want to share my story that one of my brother’s friends that I knew him very well. He was working hard and can’t really pay attention to his symptoms. All suddenly, he committed suicide and we trying to figure out what went wrong. We talk with him he was normal to us and what happen to him and what made him to end his life. I know few people I know unexpecting deaths with unknown or reason immediately. We really need pay attention to the signs to our loved ones and try talk to them. We all are going through some situation but just be there and listen to them who is dealing with depression. But remember we can’t not control or control things in live. But we must try think about ourselves. Most important is self-care about yourself. I will write down in piece paper what we can or cannot control. My advice is trying to find something “socialize” with other people or going to the movies, walking, or call your best friend like I do. Once you talk with someone that will be big relief off your shoulder it will help prevent not get too depression at times. Important to have “self-care” and I noticed we tend to lose track and taking care of other people family, my son, and others. We must STOP and think about “SELF CARE”. We forgot to take care of ourselves and if I don’t take care of myself then how can I take care of others? Family? How? Try not to abusive yourself constantly and go out do something that you enjoy as your hobby find something fun. You are not alone and many people out there going through same situation as you are. If you feel you are in situation that you are grief or depression don’t be embarrassed and ask for help. This is other way to help other people out there if you can’t be able to do these things and go ask for professional help like a social worker or counselor if you still feeling depression. Just remember you are not alone, and GOD BLESS YOU ALL. END SLIDE: Yellow text on a black background: #DeafWokeArtisticWellness END TRANSCRIPT AND CONTENT DESCRIPTION]

CHRISTIAN: This is my visual description: I am a man with olive skin and hair parted to the side. I have a beard of short stubble and behind me is a peacock colored wall. [Flash around Chistian waving to get attention.] Hey there! I would like to share a quote with you: “The Early Bird Gets the Best Worm.” [A textbox with white text and the quote appears in the upper left corner of the screen.] Maybe you’re wondering exactly what the saying means. I’m happy to share my explanation with you all: (Narrating a story) One morning, all the birds are sleeping soundly. One bird wakes early and takes flight. Suddenly, it spots a worm in the fields below! Worms come out in the early morning while the soil is still moist with dew. The early bird swoops down and eats its fill of worms. Meanwhile, the birds that slept late rush to the farm only to find all the worms are gone. (Narration ends.) You may be wondering, what was the point of that story and what’s it got to do with me? I will share the many hidden benefits of waking early and why you should give it a try. Are you ready? Here we go! [Blue flashes appear inside Christian’s hand.] One reason for getting up early is being able to take advantage of “the golden hour”. [White text appear in the upper left corner of the screen: The Golden Hour AKA “The Magic Hour”] The golden hour is magical. This is time you have all to yourself with no interruptions while everyone else is sound asleep. You will have the opportunity to reflect on the dawn of a new day, set your intentions, and practice gratitude. You will also have time to cook a homemade breakfast. Having started your day early, you’ll probably notice you’re hungry and want to cook. In comparison, waking up at the last minute will cause you to rush through your morning and maybe grab fast food on the drive to work. Yikes. Instead, a homemade breakfast will save you both time and money. Waking up early gives you the opportunity to exercise. Try adding 5-10 minutes of cardio to the start of your day to get your energy flowing. It has also been noted that those who wake up early are able to make decisions more quickly and efficiently in the morning. As the day wears on to the afternoon you will be more likely to experience brain fog compared to the morning when your brain is still fresh and energized. You can make it a practice to set three goals for the day and plan accordingly. Getting up early only to engage in mindless screen time defeats its purpose. Instead, focus on self-betterment through exercise, nutrition, and mindfulness. After this you will be ready to tackle your emails and morning responsibilities. Waking up early will also benefit you at work. You will show up alert, your mind and body ready for the day. Your boss may notice your change in energy and work habits and delegate more responsibilities to you, possibly leading to promotion. In sum, waking up early has many benefits! If you still have your doubts go ahead and try it for yourself. Be one of those early birds who gets the best worm!

[TRANSCRIPT AND VIDEO DESCRIPTION: 2-minute, 57-second vlog in American Sign Language featuring Christian Vasquez. You might be asking: How does this apply to humans? Do you mean for me to literally wake up early and look for worms? No, definitely not; however, can we look to the behavior of animals and find lessons to apply to our lives and careers? Absolutely! I will explain just how to do so. I will start by explaining “magic hour” and what that looks like but before I do let’s look at typical rising times: people typically wake up between the hours of 6-9 AM as the sun rises. Additionally, most jobs typically follow hours such ast 7-2, 8-4, or 9-5. This is when the majority of people wake up, start their day, and drive to work. The magic hour happens earlier in the day when the roads are clear and quiet. Are you aware of the many benefits of driving on a quiet road? You will not be pressed for time on a clear road so you can enjoy the drive. You can also avoid feeling down. Stop and go traffic may cause feelings of depression, like you’re going nowhere and can only see taillights ahead of you. This feeling is worse on rainy mornings when everything is dark and gloomy. It’s better to avoid all that. Hit the roads while they’re empty and enjoy your drive. This will also help you avoid those prone to road rage. These drivers weave through traffic and create unsafe driving conditions. During magic hour the roads are clear of such drivers. You may notice an additional benefit to the clear roads of magic hour: you can roll down your window and enjoy the fresh air. In comparison, rush hour traffic exposes you to harmful fumes and poor air quality. Looking at the morning hours, it’s quite fascinating to dissect what happens there. I’d like to introduce the concept of sleep inertia. Sleep inertia refers to the transitional state between sleep and wake. This is when you go from being asleep to being fully awake. Interestingly, sleep inertia varies greatly from person to person. Some people experience very little sleep inertia while others are very slow to wake. Typically, sleep inertia lasts between 1-30 minutes but, in serious cases it can take 1 hour or more to wake and feelings of grogginess may persist. This means that waking up early will give your body and mind the time you need for sleep inertia to fade and get started with your day.] END SLIDE: Text on a black background reading: #DeafWokeArtisticWellness] END TRANSCRIPT AND CONTENT DESCRIPTION]

CHRISTIAN: Welcome to the third installment of "The Early Bird Gets the Best Worm." Be sure to watch Parts I and II as well. I hope you enjoy! As you go through your day it may be interesting to note that our afternoons tend to be jam-packed due to various commitments with friends, for meal prep and eating, or participating in activities and these commitments keep our afternoon and evening schedules full. Now suppose you want to fit in a workout but you can't find the time so you try again the next day only to face the same scheduling challenges. That cycle can lead to you forgoing your workouts altogether. Alternatively, you can wake up early and give yourself plenty of time to work out thereby creating good habits. Plus, getting in that early AM workout will help you fall asleep quickly at night because you will likely be wiped after a long day. Heading to bed earlier means you can get a full, restful night's sleep and wake up with more energy the next day. This can help you form good habits and create a positive energy cycle. Now I would like to close this topic with a quote by Benjamin Franklin: "Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise."

TRANSCRIPT: CHRISTIAN: Each day we touch different spaces in our lives: restaurants, birthdays, school, gatherings with friends, your parents’ home, etc. I will share about one particular “space” I find fascinating: Hygge Oath. Hygge Oath, the Danish Way, by Iben Sandah. If you have never heard hygge before it means cozy, comfortable, warm. I invite you to imagine hygge as a cozy, comforting space we enter together. How do we get there? I will share a list of rules with you, beginning with 1. Turn off iPads and phones! 2. Leave drama at the door. There are other times to focus on our problems. Such problems don’t belong in hygge space. Hygge is about creating a safe space for everyone without everyday stressors. 3. Leave unnecessary complaints at the door. 4. Look for where you can help so not one person is stuck doing all the work. Make sure everyone works together to share labor collectively. As an example, while one person cooks another can set out dishes, or while one rakes the lawn another can have a bag ready to collect grass. This ensures no one person is stuck doing everything on their own. 5. If you are inside, light candles. Candles create a warm, cozy environment. 6. Make a conscious effort to enjoy food. Cultivate gratitude for your meal and the hands that made it. This applies to beverages as well. Take time to really savor the experience. 7. Do don’t bring up politics and controversial topics. There are other times and spaces to discuss politics and sensitive topics.This space is meant to be hyggeligt (cozy). 8. Tell and retell funny, uplifting stories about each other from the past. We tell and retell these stories to lift our spirits. 9. Do not brag too much. 10. Don’t compete. Competitive energy is not needed. Think “we” not “me”. Make sure everyone is good and keep competition out of the space.11. Do not speak badly of others or focus on negativity too much. 12. Play games and have fun. 13. Make a conscious effort to feel gratitude for the people around us who love us. Care for each other. Offer food and drink. Be intentional with your care. So there you have it. I hope you found what I shared beneficial. You can share the Hygge Oath at your next social event.
