- Set Goals, either short term, long term, professional, or personal
- Short term:Went to Boston to see my Grandparents, and Buffalo for easter. Only a few more trips to go! The 4.0 is pending.
- long term: pending
- Professional: Still waiting on that federal co-op, and all others pending, of course.
- Personal: I'm planning on a full day of BBQing and biking around the park this week, so that's going to help me get back in tune with nature. I realize how much I miss church on Sundays, so I'm going to try and find a group here that actively attends church. As far as being more outgoing, being a leader of a club helps me practice this, and I think I am improving!
- Practice listening.
- Vow to listen as much as you talk: I need to reverse this and start talking more: It's getting easier!
- After you reach that 50/50 point, make it 2/3 listening, and 1/3 talking: Pretty much already set.
- Compliment someone everyday, and actually mean it.
- I saw the most ADORABLE Coach boots the other day, and went out of my way at the mall to compliment the girl wearing them. I like how people are at first sort of weirded out that a random person would stop them like that and compliment them, but then they get a smile on their face, and you can just see their confidence boost.
- Tell someone you love them. And mean it.
- Does Andy/family count? I've started saying it to my close friends more often, and it is easier than I thought it would be.
- Everyday, before you go to bed, tell yourself one thing that you did that day that you are proud of.
- This is something that I have not been doing, mostly because I forgot about this rule. I definitely should though. And for tonight, I am proud of the fact that I actually understood what was being discussed in philosophy today! :)
that's all for now. :) ciao
