How I learned to make appropriate goals for myself.

                   It's January. You know what that means, for some reason January seems to be the time when people ideally make up a list of goals in which they want to accomplish. For some odd reason we and yes I said we including myself. I will admit to making goals that I have no intention on following through with. Why do we do that? Why do we feel the need to make goals that aren't ideal for us? Is it because we see others do it and we just want to fit in? Well I don't know about you but I am tired of reading past journal entries and reading the same things I want or feel the need to change.
                  This year I decided to change this pattern. I made goals that I thought I could foresee myself accomplishing throughout the year. For instance, I have wanted to see an increase in my active life for a while now. So, the goal I put into place is to workout 3x a week but change it up. By changing it up I mean the first day would be cardio,the next aerobic, and the last would be weights. My next goal is to eat healthier meaning not to eat sweets every day. Normally I would say I'm limiting to strictly only salad but I realized that I can't just take out a heavy chunk of something my diet is heavily attached to. Some people can completely take carbs out of their diets or meats but that's not ideal. I have begun to realize that along as I eat properly and maintain a good vegetable intake and stay active I can do pretty much whatever I want. As long as my heart rate is increased then I am burning calories. My final goal is to get better with pampering myself with facials, bubble baths, manicures and pedicures. I find that when you look good you feel good.
      You see the goals I set for myself seem to be everyday things for many people but it's not too common for me. The key is to set goals that are not too far to reach. How do you ensure that the goals are not out of your reach? You need to deeply desire the goal,visualize yourself accomplishing the goal, make a plan for the path you need to follow to accomplish the goal,commit to achieving the goal by writing it down plenty of times,establish times for checking your progress in your calendar system, and review your overall progress regularly.
        With this new insight I have I intend to look at my reflection of this year as 2018 comes and see my progress and I hope you will too.

Where is David?

   Hey you guys, it has been a while since we last talked. I feel like the last time I wrote was maybe mid February, maybe, maybe not. To catch you up SUMMER17' is officially about to kick in, with my last week of junior year flying by. I was walking out of the doors that lead to the bus lot today when I started to think about the summer. How this whole year I was saying "Summer 17' will be mine" but, funny thing is I said the same thing last year and the year be for that, and the one before that, and so on. I mean you get the idea right? Yeah, pretty sure you do. I began thinking why I haven't experienced a summer worthwhile yet. You know like the ones in the movies where the girl typically meets a guy who helps her out of her comfort zone? If you didn't this is pretty much a quote on quote description of ENDLESS LOVE which was the movie of the summer last year. So, yes I am pretty much comparing myself to a fictional character in a book, but only because w...

She is

She is a girl. She is a girl who wears her heart on her sleeves. She is a girl who puts her all into everything. She is a girl who has felt pain. She is a girl who has loved. She is a girl that at times feels lost. She is a girl that feels alone. She is a girl that will put on a smile even when she is not happy. She is a girl that will hold her tears back just to let you shed your own. She is...
