Inspire me

As I stood in my bathtub showering looking down at the water slowly collecting and covering my feet as if I was drawing a bath for myself (I should really get that drain fixed) I thought about how my nighttime shower is the most reflective time of the day. I have my most profound thoughts in the shower. I prefer to shower at night because I don't like to rush the process. Showering at night allows me to go over my entire day mentally and think about my life. I wonder how many people do this who shower in the morning? Regardless, showering is not the point of this post, the point is, I have decided tonight to start writing my goals out in this blog and keeping track of how well I do on accomplishing them. I'm going to write out a few things I'd like to improve/accomplish this month, I don't have the unrealistic expectation that everything will get done, but I'm hoping this blog aids the process. So here we go...

GOALS for MAY 2011 (I hope this is a long-term thing, hence the year added after the month in notation)

Getting to bed earlier than 2:30am

I am not in college anymore, I need to stop acting like it

Doing all my dishes at the end of the night that day

Nothing is more annoying to me than seeing dishes in the sink in the morning

Eating breakfast

I need to work on increasing my metabolism and I need to feel like I'm not dying of hunger by lunch

Keeping work at work

Regardless of if my experiment failed or worked, my work stays at work, when I am home I have to focus on other aspects of

life

Call my grandma's once a week

Those two women are so happy when they hear from me and I call for free via reliance, so I have no excuse not to talk to f

family in India (even if it's having the same conversation 5 times in a row)

Drink more water

I feel like this would resolve a lot of my health problems

Only go out on saturday nights and come back by 2am

I need to be productive on saturdays and not feeling like I'm dying sundays

Loose 5 pounds by the end of this month

PUT DOWN THE COOKIE-enough said

Read for my exam for at least 3 hours an evening

Remember the big goal, where you are right now is not where you ideally want to be, don't get comfortable or settle

Smile more

Sometimes I look so mean when I interact with people I don't know, the happiest girls are the prettiest right?

Do yoga at least 3 times a week

start out 6 reps this month, dont' half ass it!

Spend more quality time with parents

Try and shift from parent child relationship to more of a friendship

Sing and Dance more

It makes you happy, it's good for the soul

Only watch tv for maximum 2 hours a day

Record it if you want to watch it later for all those fridays you aren't out and nothing good is on, do more productive things with your time, shut it off

ok this is all I have for now, I really really hope I can stick to this!! Again future self, dont' be upset if not everything is completed on this list, just do what you can and then evaluate.
