From my Christmas break and new years festivities.
If this post ends up being too long, I'll just post a summary in the end for those who are busy.
Okay, so the progress I've made so far.
I'm on page 210 in my First things first book and have practiced the process he outlines, I'm having trouble plugging in my goals because I feel that I have to plan them out 100% before putting it in my schedule.
I also picked up Anthony Robbins' Awaken the Giant Within and am on page 424. His ideas, (past does not equal the future, this too will pass, and God's delays are not God's denials, to state a few) have helped me not dwell on my past mistakes too much, and I've been in social situations, so I bought Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People and this has helped my interactions with people
I've recently started working out on a more consistent basis. I feel that I need a plan and better diet to get to the weight that I want to reach, and have joined bodybuilding.com
Okay, so a trend that I've noticed is that I say I will do things later on, and then forget about them. I'm writing these things down on my weekly planner.
Also, I think that inquiringmind's post is still true. I do feel most important when digging myself out of my own personal hole. Feeling overwhelmed does give me a strong, surging identity. However, I made a promise to myself that I was going to do what should get done in order to reach my goals.
I'm going to post weekly about my progress. I'm doing it every Sunday.
Franciz, did you work on your habits? I didn't as much as I'd like, so I guess you won this round
The negative affirmations help me focus, eating more healthily has cleared up my mind (I haven't done it consistently though =/) and cutting goals up make them feel more manageable.
Thanks everyone! I'm off to work on my school work (which I should devote more time to
, rather than spending my time on distractions)
Summary:
- Bought Awaken the Giant Within
- Read more of Stephen Covey's book
- Started working out more consistently
- Now writing things down on planner
- Feel that inquiringmind's post still true
- Going to make myself feel more important and more of a worthwhile person through community service and leaving my computer, thus being more active
