4th Quarter Goals 2018
So it's the last three months of 2018 - it's crazy to think that the year has gone by so quickly! I really am not ready to jump into 2019 - thesis work and the complete unknown of the future is absolutely terrifying for me. I have gathered a few goals to make the most of the last quarter of 2018 and I want to share them with y'all... I mean once I say it out loud I have to follow through with it. I want all my readers to keep me committed and honest about these goals...seriously! So here we go...
Get offline more and be more in the moment.
I think this is the biggest one and somewhat flows into all the other goals. A lot of my classmates are leaving after exams in January to complete their thesis work from their home country. So this could be some of the last moments I have with them for a long time. Thinking about having to say goodbye to some people for an unknown period of time hurts my heart. However, I have the great opportunity to get spend so much quality time with them.
Stay focused on one thing at a time.
Y'all. There are so many things going on in my mind right now. Thesis work. Jobs. Where in the f-ing world will I be after June 30th 2019?? Schoolwork. How long can I get away without doing laundry? Sleep. The best thing for me to do is just to focus on one thing at a time. Alright, this morning I'll work on school work but tonight I'll comb through the internet for jobs. There is no humanly possible way for me to do a million things at once - I only have two hands and one brain! I think I have said this in a previous post, but if I make little to-do lists for the day or week then I am mentally able to focus on those 5 items rather than lose my thoughts in a cloud of worry.
Remember my limits.
Tying into the previous point, I have made huge progress in learning how to forgive and love myself. I'd like to continue this self-love and self-consciousness into the new year. If I had a crappy day at work, then it may be best to veg out with friends and watch chick-flicks rather than attempt to cram information into my head. I'll be more productive if my mental state is clear. After 24 years of life, I have learned (and at times the hard way), my health comes before the to-do list. I only have one me.
Lose 5 lbs.
During my undergrad, I definitely put on that freshman 15, thankfully it was a slow process rather than a quick and extremely noticeable one. I love my body and its awesome no matter the shape. I think I would be more confident and would feel better all around if I lost about 10 pounds. I'm breaking it down into two stages fall term and spring term with the goal of losing 5 pounds each term. I am starting with easy and reasonable changes to my diet since I have gotten pretty regular with my work-outs. Things like eating candy and pizza only on the weekends should help a lot. I have a terrible sweet tooth so the real challenge will be breaking that and I think the rest will be easy. (hopefully)
