I am at my best when I am self disciplined, I commit and stick to my goals, I make time for myself, acknowledge my fears, allow myself to make mistakes.
I will try to prevent times when I get distracted by my feelings and allow them to control me, I close myself off from others, don’t sleep enough or drink enough water.
I will enjoy my work by finding employment where I can Help others, read, learn, draw and design promotional material for volunteer group, work on group projects.
I will find enjoyment in my personal life through Talk to my friends and family, read, go for walks, eat soup, bake, clean and organize things, be outdoors, learn, sing, play tennis and basket ball, help people, travel, sight see, go to museums and opera houses, be in the city.
I will find opportunities to use my natural talents and gifts such as art, music, decision making, comforting and supporting others, singing, dancing, drawing, cooking, good under tough circumstances, keeping cool .
I can do anything I set my mind to. I will Go live on the East Coast to be closer to my family, work outdoors and indoors in a lab studying issues that effect our water quality and the interface between human health and the environment, marry the guy I’m dating now and move in with him, start a non0profit organization dedicated to helping the environment and inner city kids to enjoy and appreciate science, nature and religion, live in NY city, have ten kids.
My life’s journey is for my spiritual, mental, and emotional growth, for the good of my family and to benefit society and the environment through the work that I do.
I will be a person who My family: Sister, Amber, Aniyia, Shannon, Andre, Robert, Shoko “Inspired others to be their best, lived by example, loved much”.
My most important future contribution to others will be A college education and car for my kids, memories with my Mom and close family, seeing my sister every year for our birthday, that those around me know and feel how much I love them.
I will stop procrastinating and start working on:

• Openness with loved ones, lateness (never dismissed just need to work on), self-discipline, car maintenance, DT 125 class, DT 155 class

I will strive to incorporate the following attributes into my life:

• Honoring their word/consistency
• Generosity
• Fun loving nature

I will constantly renew myself by focusing on the four dimensions of my life:

• Walk once a day
• Read King James Bible every morning
• Finish BS, PhD, read research publications every day
• See Robert, Sister on Birthday, be there for friends birthdays, ESO, write in Journal every morning

1.) disciplined with eating appropriate sized meals
2.) disciplined with studying for college classes and exams
3.) discipline with using food as nourishment instead of a distraction or “drug” – a substance of abuse
4.) discipline with controlling my thoughts and actions and monitoring them, instead of acting selfish and impulsive
5.) discipline with cleaning up after my self as well as keeping my room organized and neat
6.) discipline with regularly exercising/ maintaining fitness

...holy crap, am I SUCKING at this.

Suggestions?!

I am waking up every day early so that I can have an extra hour to study in the morning. I am not sure if it is working, but at least I am being productive.

In a snap decision on New Years Day, I decided I was going to quit coffee. I made sure that I didn’t tell anyone because I wanted this to be a true test of my willpower.

Experiment a success. Zero coffee in 48 days and I was seriously tempted. (Can go longer, but Valentine’s Present to me :)

I am better at doing what needs to be done whether I want to do it or not. Including doing the dishes/emptying the dishes, cleaning bathroom, laundry, etc. I am 27 days without coffee and i hate it, but I think I might just be off the habit. (I had a coke and the caffeine gave me a migraine.) I am eating when I am hungry and stopping when I am full, passing on dessert AND I am going to the gym every day now. Now I just need to stick to a schedule so I can get a great job and I am on cloud 9…whatever that means.

I am not usually one for New Years Resolutions however this year has proven to be very productive. I am trying to hold myself more accountable for certain things. For instance, I want to give up coffee. (I have a Starbucks a day habit.) I hope that I can kick my dependency as well as save some cash in the process. Four days and still going strong!

I think this ties in with the procrastination piece. I just want to be able to hold myself accountable for my actions as well as my inaction.

this is very hard, and ties in with my ” i want to have more motivation” factor. i think that having the motivation will propel you to do anything, but i don’t have much these days. therefore, my why is gone, making everything i work on seem worthless.
