Everybody has a different rhythm that can increase their moods in different ways. People tend to enjoy spending time outside of their home or staying indoors. Although some people have jobs, play sports, or different fun activities, people know how to keep themselves busy. These different activities can affect how you have an output on life and how you might view it. 

Anna Hord, 10, likes to spend her time with friends, working at Chick-Fil-A, and shopping. Hord works four days out of the week, and enjoys working at her job. Hord believes that these activities can help her learn how to multitask certain things, and it sets her up for any future jobs she gets. These things help Hord have a good balance between school, work, friends, and other beneficial activities.
