My goals were to eat better, and by better, I meant three times a day and sleep more because I was not getting a full night’s rest. I choose these goals because they supported my goal to lose weight. My mom always told me that you should eat regular and have sleep to lose weight. I was afraid to say lose weight because I think it is embarrassing and since I am very aware of my weight. This topic has been heavy on my mind for some time now, I have always had low confident in myself and since my sister has a small curving figure that I am jealous of. In the first month of the assignment, I did not do anything really on purpose with the homework assignment, but I did try the sleeping and eating more because I have been trying to achieve …show more content…
I said in my update that “I have slept about the same but what have improved is that I have not stayed up from stress. I have eaten better because I have started to eat more throughout the day instead of once or maybe twice.” I started eating breakfast more times in the month and it was oatmeal. My mom is the cook in the house, so she provides healthy food for us all the time and she is the one who forced me to eat oatmeal all the time because, to be honest, I hate eating oatmeal it. This month I did volunteering, the one I did was preaching and I do it almost every weekend but it always helps relieve my stress. I did better with managing my stress and was staying up only to finish work I couldn’t during the day, which was the help of a …show more content…
The stages of change are precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance. Precontemplation is when you have a problem, but are not ready to change, and do not see it as a problem also, when others point it out you feel like they are exaggerating. Contemplation is when a person notice they have a problem but are not committed to change, they weigh the pros and the cons of the situation. In preparation, a person makes a commitment to change, they have noticed the seriousness of the problem and are motivated to change. The start planning to make changes in like the next 6 months. In action, this is when a person acts to stop and a new behavior is started, change is viable to others and this step has the greatest commitment. Action spends the most time and energy. Lastly, maintenance this is where you do all you can to maintain your goals, this requires dedication and support from families and friends in maintaining your efforts. In most of my Livewell evaluation, I was in precontemplation which mean I wanted a plan to make changes in the next 6
This section discusses health psychology and behavioral medicine, making positive life changes, resources for effective life change, controlling stress, behaving, and your good life. Health psychology emphasizes psychology’s role in establishing and maintaining health and preventing and treating illness. It reflects the belief that lifestyle choices, behaviors, and psychological characteristics can play important roles in health. The mind is responsible for much of what happens in the body, it is not the only factor, the body may influence the mind as well. Making positive life changes include health behaviors- practices that have an impact on physical well being. The stages of change model describes the process by which individuals give up bad habits and adopt healthier lifestyles. The model has five stages: precontemplation, contemplation, preparation/ determination, action/ willpower, and
During afternoon recess in the second grade, I received my first major injury. The teacher on recess duty blew the whistle and signaled for the students to line up. Unfortunately for me, the merry-go-round I sat on spun indefatigably. I glanced over at the lines to see my classmates escorted inside. Nevertheless, I took a risk and lept off the merry-go-round (terrible mistake).
We all woke up that saturday morning hearing a cacophonous cry of sorrow, I closed my eyes in terror of what might have happened. As I opened my eyes I see that Anne Marie was crying on her stand on top of the shelf, looking down at Adam, who was on the floor with his arms and legs chewed off by that mean dog, whom they call buster.
Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright once said, “As a leader, you have to have the ability to assimilate new information and understand that there might be a different view.” The statement seems simple enough, but in order to fully appreciate it, an understanding of a fairly uncommon word is required. This word is assimilation. Though at first glance assimilation doesn’t appear to be too daunting a term, its diverse definitions play a significant role in more domains than many would initially anticipate.
As a child, when I got upset my response used to cry and refuse to talk. Now a day as adult, I don't cry that often, but I have the patter of maintain salient, so I grow up keeping that behavior with me. The first time I suffered anxiety of separation was when I started school; I do remember those first day clearly. I cried very loud, I got frustrate, and I didn't want to come back to school. This first week was terrible for me, for my mother, and also for my teacher. Fortunately, my teacher was very professional and keep calm. My mother tried to talk to me, and explain that she had to leave, but she come back for me at noon. When I was a child I was not very good at making friend; even though I was a friendly girl, I had to deal with that
For the first several years of my life, I was just like any other child; I achieved all the typical developmental milestones, cultivated new interests, made friends, and began to familiarize myself with the world around me. By the time I started elementary school, I was already enrolled in theater classes, ballet lessons, and a youth soccer league. It was also during these tender years that I began to develop an interest in learning, beyond that of most other children my age.
I had a very strong interest in what the future held for women in science, because I wanted women to be able to make multiple accomplishments like men did in the science category. Throughout the time of being alive I made a speech about how I wanted women to make a great impact with being in science for the future. I can only image what the future is like now for women, I suspect that women have many more jobs in multiple categories than before. However I do know that some of the friends I had were also making an impact on the world already, changing it and showing how it can be different. An tremendous amount of citizens probably would have disagreed with all the things that women wanted to have changed or do. Honestly I do hope that women
Out of all the quarters this school year, I feel like this quarter has made me progress the most, because I put a lot of effort into reading books and enjoying them, there are many . As expected, I got better and faster at reading but an unexpected change was that I write better compared to last year. One of my major losses was that I was becoming uninterested and bored from too much reading, which explains why my total pages read decreased compared to the other quarters.
This essay I thought was a fairly straightforward one for me, but many times I had to be creative. Writing about someone else is hard in the first place, and I had to focus my essay based on one topic or a few topics from a timeline of someone else’s life. This type of essay was not very easy for me to write because I write better when I can connect ideas to my own life and make it more personal. Thankfully this essay only had to be 2-3 pages long because I am not sure about the information I was given I could write any longer. One big issue I had with this essay was how creative I had to be with what I was going to write, and how distant I felt from the context.
When you look back on your life, what do you remember most? Personal achievements fade from memory as you age; setbacks and failures aren’t there; arguments argue their existence away; simple daily tasks blend together and take care of themselves. Only one thing remains – moments of fulfilment. Some things make you feel pure joy, but you wouldn’t want to do them again. Fulfillment is different. It’s when you’re so unbelievably happy you could do that same thing over and over again for the rest of your life.
Today has been one of the most stressful, most fun, and most hectic days of my life. The day started normal. I got up, got ready, and went to school. The day was going good. I got to school on time, I got everything done for my senior experience, and tonight is the Laurens vs. Clinton football game. Second block is my internship, but today I did not have to go because it was Friday. My friends and I were waiting around for something to do until the pep rally that was later in the day. We decided to go to Presbyterian college and get some Starbucks because we had time to kill. I volunteered to drive the crew. How much better could this day get? It was Friday, I got out of school earlier than usual, I got to get Starbucks, and
While big events may create major changes in our plans for our future, little events define us as the people we will become. One of my earliest memory was as a five-year-old. I have been there many time, in my thoughts and dreams. In it, I was on the dirt drive of the church parsonage was evening.
We were decorating a tree at my mom's last night in a style that can best be described as a blast from the past. As I looked at old ornaments, I began to remember past Christmases and one in particular stands out.
In assignment 2, in the first draft not only I had unclear organization, but I also had a very weak images. For example, in the first draft of my prose, I had an image like “the train smoke streams off like a breath, engine sound chug-chug-chug of the wheels, and where the atrocious stream of the signal, vocation me into darkness.” This image was very weak compare to the other images because it was unclear what I mean by “vocation into the darkness” and also it did not fit well in the essay. In draft two, to make the stronger image I try changing it to “the train smoke streams off like a breath, engine sound chug-chug-chug of the wheels, where the terrible scream of the signal propels her into darkness.” The main reason this image is better
For myself there are a few things which I can improve. The first thing is trying to achieve my calorie intake. At my age we are supposed to be intaking about 1,800 calories per day. Over the three days of doing the log I never met the daily intake of calories. On Sunday I was over by two hundred calories and on Monday and Tuesday I was under by a couple hundred calories. Another thing which I can improve is exercising more. With my busy schedule with classes and homework it is hard for me to set times aside during the day to work out or exercise. One last thing which I need to improve on is making sure I consume more water than I do right now. I find it difficult it consume water because attending school you don 't always have access to water unless you bring a water bottle. Water is very important for you health so you can stay hydrated. There are three things which I need to improve on within the next couple of weeks. To improve on achieving my daily calorie intake I am going to be a lot more observant of what I consume. I will make sure every day that I get to my daily calorie intake and that I don 't go over. To achieve more exercise, I am going to set a goal that during the week I at least set time aside to workout at least two times during the week. Working out for me is the best way for me to getting all the stress and worries I have at that time particular time. Lastly to achieve consuming
