Family & Friendship:

1.

I would like to show more appreciation for my loved ones through acts of kindness and support. This goal is perfect as I feel as I have been struggling with this aspect and how it has impacted those around me. I will achieve this goal by regularly checking in on my friends and famitly members, offering help when needed, and expressing gratitude for their efforts to make my day better or easier. Simple things such as driving me to school (I could simply take the bus), or even forcing me to put on a jacket on frigid days when I don’t want to; as they don’t care if it ruins my outfit when they know it protects me from the growling winds. Friends, relatives, etc do all these things just because they care about me and I strive to show more gratitude towards them.

2.

My goal is to spend quality time with each family member. I chose this goal because building strong relationships is important for a happy family life. I plan to achieve this goal by setting aside specific times during the week for one-on-one activities with each family member. This could include playing board games, going for a walk, or simply having a meaningful conversation. By making a conscious effort to prioritize these interactions, I believe we can strengthen our bonds and create lasting memories together. Consistently dedicating time to each family member will help us understand and support each other better

3.

I would like to improve staying in touch with my long-distance friends by reaching out more often through phone calls, text messages, and face-time. I chose this goal because I value the friendships I have with these individuals and want to maintain strong connections despite the distance between us. To achieve this goal, I plan to set reminders on my phone to call or text my friends to stay updated on everyone’s lives, and make an effort to create conversations instead of waiting for others to reach out. By dedicating time each week to communicate with my long-distance friends, I can strengthen our relationships and feel more connected to them even when we are far apart.

Education:

1.

I would like to complete my schoolwork ahead of time to reduce stress and improve my academic performance. I will achieve this goal by creating a daily study schedule and prioritizing tasks based on deadlines and difficulty. By dividing tasks into smaller chunks, I can work steadily towards completing them early, allowing time for revisions and corrections before submissions. I understand the importance of time management in achieving this goal and will methods like calendars and the “notes” app to track my progress and stay on schedule. By avoiding procrastination and developing a habit of starting assignments, I can consistently meet deadlines and excel in my assignments.

2. I would like to persevere in  challenges and setbacks, remaining determined and focused on my academic goals. I chose this goal because I understand that setbacks are a natural part of the learning process, and resilience is essential for overcoming obstacles and achieving success. To achieve this goal, I will adopt a positive mindset and view challenges as opportunities for growth and learning. By seeking support from teachers, peers, and family members when needed, I can overcome difficulties and stay motivated towards achieving my academic goals.

3.

My goal is to improve public speaking skills because it is necessary for communicating effectively and confidently. To achieve this goal, I will dedicate time to practice speaking in front of a mirror or record myself to identify areas for improvement. Additionally, I will try to watch videos on YouTube that focus on public speaking techniques and strategies. As I develop my skills, I will try to find opportunities to speak in front of tiny groups to construct confidence before any presentations. By expanding my vocabulary and practicing active listening, I  will continue to engage my audience effectively and deliver speeches that are impactful and engaging. With consistent effort and determination, I am certain that I can achieve my goal of becoming better and more impactful during any sort of public-speaking

Health:

1.

I would like to prioritize sleep more as it helps me think clearly, feel energized, and stay healthy. To achieve better sleep, I will create a bedtime routine that includes relaxing activities like reading or listening to calming music. I will also set a consistent bedtime and wake-up time to regulate my body clock. Limiting screen time before bed and creating a comfortable sleep environment will further enhance my sleep quality. I plan to avoid any energy drinks or unhealthy beverages and heavy meals close to bedtime to prevent disruptions in my sleep. Regular physical exercise during the day will help me fall asleep faster and enjoy deeper sleep. Lastly, I will practice stress-reducing activities like deep breathing to calm my mind before going to bed. By making these changes, I aim to improve my sleep habits and lead a healthier lifestyle overall.

2.

I would like to consume healthier snacks like fresh fruits or raw veggies to fuel my body with natural goodness. I chose these snacks because they are “nutrient-dense” and provide sustained energy throughout the day. To achieve this, I will make sure to always have these snacks available by prepping them in advance and carrying them with me wherever I go so I don’t feel hungry and then scramble to the nearest fast food store. By incorporating these healthier options into my daily routine, I can my overall health and well-being. I plan to limit my intake of processed snacks high in sugar and artificial ingredients to further support my health goals. Overall, choosing these healthier snacks will not only benefit my physical health but also positively impact my mental clarity and productivity.

3.

I want to reduce my screen time because spending too much time on screens can impact my health and social life. To accomplish this, I could set specific goals for limiting my screen time each day. I will start by tracking how much time I actually spend on screens to understand my current habits. Then, I will gradually decrease my screen time by setting aside dedicated periods for activities that don’t involve screens, such as studying (on paper), taking my dog outside, or self-care. By creating a balanced schedule that includes both screen and screen-free activities, I can develop healthier habits and improve my overall well-being. I believe that reducing my screen time will allow me to connect more with friends, family, my pet, etc!
