As I was perusing the blogs left by my friends, (because that's how we keep up with each others lives now) I read a wonderful piece by my Rumi. She talks about the last couple of months spent in reflection, and her conclusions about her habits, and developing better ones.

This of course spawned some deep thoughts and amusing musings.....

Good habits I would like to develop.....Also known as things-I'm-bad-at-but-would-like-to-improve........

  1. Eat balanced meals every day. Avoid the vending machine at all costs.
  2. Rearrange my priorities. Currently these include, but are not limited to:
  • Baha'i Faith, School, Work, Me.
How to rearrange:
  1. Take time to do my homework every day. No more putting everything off until 10 minutes before it's due.
  2. Go back to the gym. There is no point in having a paid for membership if I am not using it, and no, I can't get my money back.
  3. Let go of the fact that I am not everyone's #1 priority. Understand that my friends still love me, even if they don't have tons of time for me right now. (This one's a biggie).
  4. Stand up and demand my alone time. I don't want to be in a relationship right now. For the first time ever, I WANT TO BE SINGLE AND FOCUS ON MYSELF. Just because somebody is a nice person and they are ready for a relationship does not mean that I need to give into their needs and wants. When I'm ready, everything will fall into place, and the person I choose to be with will be welcome into my life without feeling like an added stress.
  5. Tutor a Ruhi book so I can be officially finished with book 7, and can do more Ruhi!!
  6. Do more service to the Faith.
Other goals:
  1. Be asleep by 11 pm and awake at 6 am on school/work days in order to eat a healthy breakfast and hit the gym before work.
  2. Pay better attention to my sugar and carb intake to keep my hypoglycemia in check.
  3. EAT MORE SALAD.
  4. Budget my money better. Find ways to make the little money I do make stretch farther.
  5. Get rid of all the junk in my room. My mother seems to think that a bookshelf will help me with my things, but I think that will only encourage more collecting......
  6. No eating dinner after 7:00 pm. All I do after 7:00 pm is sit, so I store everything I eat.
  7. REMEMBER IT TAKES 21 DAYS TO ACQUIRE A HABIT.
  8. Don't get mad at myself when 4 days into this life change I oversleep and stuff my face with sushi......

Amusing Musings:

I would rather be doing this than my Linguistics homework. Hence the need to prioritize....school first.... then blog....about that......
