ACT 2018: Weeks 37 & 38

Look at my well-balanced life! Y’all, I’m so excited about how my life is going.

And look at some shoes that I did not buy because they did not fit properly 😭😭😭

But also an outfit that I did buy, ridiculous tacky shoes and all 😍😍😍

Previous goals:

1. Discipline, hard work, responsibility (work/education) >> Finish your co-report. For real. It’s due Friday.

IT WAS HOT GARBAGE, BUT I FINISHED IT AND HANDED IT IN AND SOMEHOW ON A PASS/FAIL GRADING SCALE, IT PASSED. I’M DEEPLY ASHAMED OF THE QUALITY OF WORK I HANDED IN, BUT I’LL USE THIS AS A LEARNING EXPERIENCE SO I DON’T DO IT AGAIN.

2. Discipline, hark work, responsibility (work/education) >> Do readings, review notes from class, do homework assignments, prepare for labs.

I’m behind on the readings, but I think I have some time this week to catch up on that. I’m going to divide up the studying that I can do at home vs. the studying that I have to do at the library because I don’t own the necessary textbooks, and schedule each in.

3. Giving/service (relationships), balance (leisure) >> Go to volunteer orientation for local humane society.

✔️ Now I just need to mail in my criminal record check, and I’ll be set to  volunteer :D

Values bulls eye:

Work/education: Finished my co-op report and did pretty well keeping up with my daily school tasks. A step up for discipline, hard work, and responsibility, and my organization is still Peak.

Leisure: Balance took a step up this time around, as I’m starting to limit my tumblr usage again, and I’m getting involved in my community as a volunteer.

Personal growth/health: This is the area that needs the most TLC right now! No changes this week, but I’m going to do some goal setting here, for the next couple weeks.

Relationships: Time went down a tier due to the usual demands of university, but giving/service took a tier. Still very happy with how this section is looking. 

New goals:

1. Organization (work/education), follow through (leisure) >> start planning your winter break vacation! First vacation that I’m ever planning for myself, and it’s gonna be so much fun, guys, so much fun 🏒🐧🏒🐧🏒🐧

2. Hard work, discipline, responsibility (work/education) >> Keep up with school work and catch up on reading.

3. Challenge, determination, hard work (personal growth/health) >> Contact a personal trainer at your uni’s gym and meet with them, because you know that the only way you’re ever going to actually go to the gym is if there’s someone there to hold your hand and also you’ve financially obligated yourself to go.

ACT 2018: Weeks 47 & 48

5. Habits >>> Keep up the good work going to the gym. Contact the personal trainer again to expand on the six things you currently know how to do at the gym.

I kept going to the gym, but have not contacted the personal trainer yet, so half marks.

Values bulls eye:

Work/education: Discipline, responsibility and hard work took a step down due to my PROCRASTINATING, GODDAMMIT BOOKSMAKEME.

Leisure: Balance went down a tier, and follow through went up. Balance and discipline are going to be important in the next couple weeks because exams.

Relationships: Giving and service went down a tier. I’m not super concerned about this, it’ll go up again in the new year.

Personal growth/health: It’s all the same! Building my exercise habit is going well, and my trich has actually been not too bad, so I’m pretty happy.

New goals:

My city can be pretty sometimes.

Previous goals:

1. Organization (work/education), follow through (leisure) >>> Winter break vacation planning. Maybe start setting things in stone. Also, apply for your passport ASAP.

Yikes haven’t done this yet. I’ll have time after Wednesday? The end of the semester is so busy.

2. Hard work, discipline (work/education) >>> Get ahead of projects and studying over the uni break. You have free time, so use it!

Yup!

3. Giving/service (relationships) >>> Volunteer with the Humane Society if you have time?

I did not have time, but as I phrased this as a question, making a decision counts as completing this goal.

4. Hard work, determination, habits (personal growth/health) >>> Keep going to the gym? If it is open? Over the uni break?

I did not go, even though it was open. But I am allowed to take breaks and not be totally obsessive about things.

5. Dunno what this falls under, just do it >>> Check car’s fluids and tire pressure which you should have done in October.

Still need to do this, too. I think my car might need to be like, not below freezing to check this stuff?

Values bulls eye:

Work/education: Hard work and discipline took a step up this week. I’ve just got to keep this up through the last three weeks of the semester and then finals.

Leisure: Follow through went down a step, because I really need to get on vacation planning. @ myself: this is fun stuff, so do it.

Relationships: Balance and time have gone down a tier because it’s maybe possible that I’ve seen my friends like less than half a dozen time since the semester began. YIKES TM.

Personal growth/health: It’s all the same, I’m still doing really well!

New goals:

I know it’s the final three weeks of the semester, but there’s still stuff to do:

Organization (work/education), follow through (leisure) >>> Winter break vacation planning. Maybe start setting things in stone. Also, apply for your passport ASAP.

Dunno what this falls under, just do it >>> Check car’s fluids and tire pressure which you should have done in October.

Finish your Christmas wish list. Do the research on stuff that needs researching.

Previous goals:

1. Determination, challenge (personal growth/health), giving and service (relationships) >>> Give Important Speech at Local Event. ✔️✔️✔️

Y’ALL. I’VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR MONTHS. AND IT’S DONE. AND IT WENT SO WELL. MY HEART IS SO FULL.

Not quite yet! But this week over the uni break for sure.

3. Creativity, follow through (leisure) >>> Start knitting your Deathflake mittens again with slightly larger needles ✔️

The re-knitting has begun. Re-knittening? Re-mittening? The re-mittening has begun.

Values bulls eye:

Work/education: It’s all the same, and it’s all so good!

Leisure: Creativity and follow through have gone up a tier, with the beginning of the re-mittening.

Relationships: I gave the Important Speech at Local Event! Yes the speech for which I’ve been preparing for months. And with that, giving and service has ascended to the inner circle. Kindness also took a step up. I received a lot of kindness from people at the event, and I tried my best to give kindness and appreciation in return.

Personal growth/health: Determination and challenge have taken a step up. I was determined, I challenged myself! And it all paid off so well.

ACT 2018: Weeks 41 & 42

Life is good and I’m good at life, y’all.

Previous goals:

1.  Challenge, determination, hard work (personal growth/health) >> Try to figure out some “fitness goals” before your appointment. Go to your appointment with your personal trainer. Work hard, communicate what you want to get out of this. And then set up another appointment.

I did this! And my trainer was super nice! Basically he just showed me how to use some of the equipment so that I would feel comfy going to the gym by myself. I haven’t set up another appointment yet, but I did go to the gym once by myself already and I’m planning on going again this week if I can find time. 💪💪💪

2. Discipline, hard work, responsibility (Work/education) >> Write your first two midterms, and start preparing for the others.

So far one of my midterms went ehhh and the other one went really well. I’ve got some more coming up this week, so that’s what I’ll spend all afternoon preparing for.

3. Balance, positivity (leisure) >> Practice self-care and hang out with your friends.

I did a bit of self-care (going to the gym, trying to eat regularly, scheduling leisure time) but I didn’t see my friends, so like, half points?

Values bulls eye:

Work/education: Discipline, hard work and responsibility have all finally taken a step up, meaning that for (I think) the first time this year, all of my Work/Education values and therefore all of my values are in the inner half of the rings. :D

Leisure: Mostly the same, except balance went up a tier.

Personal growth/health: Challenge, determination and hard work have all gone up a step due to my excellent work in going to the gym.  💪💪💪

Relationships: No changes.

New goals:

1. Determination, challenge (personal growth/health), giving and service (relationships) >>> Give Important Speech at Local Event. 

2. Organization (work/education), follow through (leisure) >> > Winter break vacation planning. Maybe start setting things in stone

3. Creativity, follow through (leisure) >>> Start knitting your Deathflake mittens again with slightly larger needles.
