Alright so summer is almost here which for
most people means transitioning from the school routine to the work
routine. It also means having time
to relax in the sun and going to parties with your friends. In amongst all the work and all the fun, I like to set my self summer goals. I try to set goals that can be easily accomplished over the
span of 4 months and that take up little to no extra time in my daily
life. Last year my goal was to
stop biting my fingernails and keep them looking nice all the time, which was
very successful.
This year I have
two goals:
(1) Keep up with the exercise I
have been doing while at school
(2) Stop straitening my hair and
let it grow.
This year was my
first full year in the kinesiology program. The content for the majority of my courses focused on
exercise and its importance in different aspects of life, which encouraged me to start living a more active lifestyle. It took me a few months to find the right program for me and
get into an exercise routine, that still left me with enough time and energy
for my school work. I started this
process in November and I have been able to keep a solid routine for about a
month and a half now. I have
learned both in class and form experience, that exercise is an excellent source
of stress relief and it increases self efficacy and overall day time energy. Exercise is also an important part in a
healthy lifestyle. In the past, my
summers have consisted of very high levels of activity due to my involvement in
marching showband. This summer I
will not be able to rely on the band, so the continuation of my current routine
is especially important.
My second goal
will be much easier and require less effort to accomplish. For years I have said “I am not going to
straiten my hair this summer and I'm going to let it grow without killing the ends.” This, my friends, is the year that I
will FINALLY accomplish this goal.
This year is different from past summer because I will be working. I
wont need to have sleek, strait, performance ready hair, thus reducing the
need to kill it with my straitener.
This is an easy goal that will take little time and effort to
accomplish. I will just have to be
patient.
