Long Term Goal 1: Utilize the skills I have learned throughout life to become Victim Advocate.
Why: Survived being a victim of Violent crime as a child. Promised myself that I
Would not continue to give the power over my life to my offender by
continuing to be a victim. I promised to be a survivor and to help other people!
Short Term Goal 1: Find new School with a degree plan that accomplishes my goals.
- Check into many educational options: Kaplan, Hesser College.
- Ask many questions of the ad visor's I speak to.
- Make decision.
- Once decided on school clear out the junk! All the negative thoughts, deal with the issues that will get in the way of my decision ( family, friends, who think its dumb) Cut out negative thought patterns.
- Get organized: Find my planner, Write realistic goals and how I'm going to get there. Schedule in time for all responsibilities.
- Create Master Calendar for each class. Post it where I can see it every day!
- Color code Assignments so I know when they are due- Prioritize my time to accomplish them.
- Schedule my week in my planner around what is absolute and what is not as important.
- ( I tend to have everyone Else's issues creep in)
- When I am told that it will be an extra 15 hours of school work a week, know it is really 20+hours extra. Schedule it so I can accomplish it.
- Read and take objective notes. I have ADD so I need to work on focus more.
- Get the most out of classes. GPA is great but what am I learning?- Review!!!
- Teach the kids I volunteer what I have learned so they may see that there is still a way out for them and they do not have to live a life of crime! That way I'm reviewing what I am taught and applying it in real life!
Why: I am 42 years old. Gravity stinks! and I do not want to be unhealthy for the
rest of my life. Metabolism slows down every 7 years. So I will do a better job
of eating better and toning up. I have in my mind a picture of what I want to
look like.
Short Term Goal 1: Make a commitment to myself that I will set a target goal for what area
of my body I am going to change. and when
- Walking 3 times a week.
- Work out with the weights I bought 5 yrs ago- use them not let them continue to collect dust!
- Learn to Zumba!!
- Every evening grab coffee and just sit under the stars- Makes me realize how small my issues really are.
- Every day just find 10 things I am grateful for: Journalize how far Ive come. If I can't find anything to write about then remember there is always the fact that I am breathing! I am not homeless and where I am right now will not be where I am going to be in 5 years from now.
Great Goals Dawn. Very well thought out. You may want thin about making a few a little less specific or they may change as you grow. For example to Detox and unstress is excellent, but maybe you will find new ways of doing that. Sometimes when our goals are too specific we feel as though we have failed if we do not meet them exactly.
