Period 2

At this current point in time, what specific goal(s) do you have for yourself? Why?

At this point in time I have decided that I am going to try to exercise more. My goal is to go

for a 30 minute walk at least once a day. I have decided to set this goal since it is important

for my mental health to get out of the house regularly. In the past I have found even short

increments of exercise can greatly improve my mood. It also gives me a chance to spend time

with my family away from the distractions that come with being home such as electronics,

and school work.

How do you demonstrate resilience towards achieving this goal? (or these goals?)

I demonstrate resilience to my goal by setting aside time before dinner everyday from 430-5

that is strictly for walking. Instead of watching television or trying to cram in an extra half

hour of school work today I decided to go for a walk with my dad and my dog. It was

amazing to get fresh air after sitting in front of a screen for the past 2 days.

How does the world around you affect your perception of this goal? (or these goals?)

The world around me poses a problem for me achieving this goal since it is becoming colder.

I will respond to this obstacle by layering up when I go out but also being realistic and

allowing myself to take days of during inclement weather. Another obstacle that the world

around me can pose is the urge to relax by watching television. While in the short term that is

more relaxing than going for a walk, walking improves my mood and makes me feel more

accomplished for the day so this is more rewarding in the long run.
