I read the next chapter of The 7 Habits which about your P.B.A. (Personal Bank Account)--basically, how you feel about yourself. Do you feel good about your self? Do you cave into pressure easily? Do you keep or break promises to yourself?
Some of the baby steps for that chapter are "get up when you planned to for 3 days in a row"; "list a talent you would like to develop this year. Write down specific steps to get there"; "think about an area of life you feel inferior in. Now breathe deeply and tell yourself, 'It's not the end of the world.'"
For the past two days (yesterday and today) I've gotten up when I planned. Tomorrow I plan on getting up at 9AM. Hopefully I will be up at that time too. Then I'm going to figure out a sleeping schedule and stick to it so that I'm guaranteed enough sleep each night.
I've chosen two talents to develop: my art and guitar. I'll achieve art by taking art classes next semester. I'll practice more than I have been. Much more. As for guitar I'll compile a list of songs I want to learn, find the chords and, well, learn them. It seems pretty simple but finding the correct chords to songs can be frustrating. Incredibly frustrating.
One area of life I feel inferior in is school. My grades aren't good right now, and I haven't been working as hard as I can be. But it's okay. Because this semester is wrapping up, and I'm going to get into a routine and figure out exactly what I need to do to be successful next semester, and I'm going to do better. :)
There was another one about hard work which I completed yesterday when I did the dishes without being asked. Or complaining. I just need to decide that I'm going to do dishes at a set time every other day (I wash dishes on even days, my brother on odd days).
I'm tired right now. I might write more later. Also have a headache. I need to go find aspirin...
