By the time 2011 was coming to a close, I started to do a lot of reflecting on the past year: the places I'd been, the memories I had made with the people I loved. And by the time all of that was over I knew I could cherish them, but it was time to move on. Everyone wants to change or better themselves as a knew year comes around because it is a fresh start, a time for redemption. With it, there is also a long list of resolutions to be made in order to fulfill the wishes for a new year. Everyone wants to set a game plan to meet goals, but the problem with new years' resolutions is that these goals are mostly unrealistic! This is the main contribution to goals not being met, and the disappointments that come along with it.
My plan is to just go with the flow of what has been planned for me and to not put so much thought into little things, rather than just getting them done. Every time I list a set of goals for myself, I always get carried away with what I say I can do, and when the time comes to put words into actions, it doesn't happen. Therefore, I plan to set goals that I know I can achieve. My plan for this year is to find a happy balance between school, friends, family, sports, social activities, extracurricular activities, and even downtime for myself so that I won't be as stressed trying to juggle everything at once. Another realistic goal I have is to manage my time to the fullest when it comes to meeting priorities, instead of wasting my time doing things that won't help me fulfill my goals. If I stay committed to these goals, I know I can accomplish what I need to do and to find that balance.
Good post, Austin. It sounds like you've set achievable, balance-oriented goals. So how will you work to achieve them?
ReplyDeleteAustin, your goal is similar to mine. You really know how to put it. I do agree with go with the flow. Great conventions but other than that, good job.
