Recently, from talking with Danu, I came to realize that there's so many venues of self-help that I have been ignoring, some as simple as written affirmations. Now I never used affirmations before, but I believe if nothing else, they could keep me centered in my path. Prior to talking to her I'd already begun some deliberate changes to get me back on track. I have sensed some improvement and with perserverance I should notice a world's difference. And so, more for my benefit than for others, I think it's time for me to write down these lofty and not so lofty goals as I have set for myself.
1. Get into graduate school.
-minor goals in this pursuit:
a)several hours study daily on subjects concerning the GRE, to include working through the Barron's GRE study prep and the website with even more focused prep work
b)vocabulary refresher through the study guides, daily and also with the addition of including as much of these words in conversation and writing
c)communication with WKU on admissions, programs, and graduate program
d)individual research on the programs and careers that interest me
2. Get into a healthier state of body
-minor goals:
a)exercise daily even if that only includes rousing play with Lukas sessions
b)walk without complaint as much as possible, knowing that yes I can do this and no it will not kill me
c)begin making meal plans with at least one meal a day to be prepared for the family from recipes
d)when not making a family dinner, I will have purchased healthy choices for my other meals
e)when monetarily possible, join a gym to which i will commit going at least 4 days a week
3. Get finances into a comfortable nonstress state
