As I left my house yesterday to return to the city, I couldn’t help but think the next time I’m there I’ll be 22 and a college graduate– craziness
After finishing our unit on Goals in my Happiness class, I’ve started thinking about some short term goals– things I want to achieve before I graduate and things I want to do before moving back to Westchester for the summer. Since I already have a bunch of other goals and resolutions that I have started to tackle this semester, I’ve divided it up into “Drop, Gain, Maintain”– habits and behaviors I want to drop, habits and behaviors I want to gain or things I want to train, and things that I already do and want to continue doing.
Drop
-Eating unhealthily when I am out with other people.
-Procrastinating going to bed for no reason. Turn the computer off and GO TO BED.
-Reverting to delivery and take out out of pure laziness
-Buying food that goes bad before I eat it
Gain
-Find more dishes that I can cook all the time— my speciality is still pancakes, but it’s a start.
-Take a class at Physique 57
-Take Hot Yoga at Crunch
-Take Hot Yoga at Moksha
-Run outdoors in Central Park
– TRAPEZE CLASS. I feel a bit homeless since the indoor rig closed, but I am determined to take trapeze classes before graduating
Maintain
-Morning work outs– 6:15AM Mon, Tues, Wed… not too shabby!
-No peanut butter out of the jar
-“just do it” mentality
-continue doing Yoga– I went every day last week, I never would have imagined having the focus and calm to do that last semester.
-reading before bed more often than watching TV
– my odd food rules, such as not having every meal contain bread (for me that IS a challenge) and only having 1 bagel per week,
hope everyone had a lovely holiday weekend, both sides of my family had 25 people at sedar… that’s over 50 family members in less than 24 hours. A bit loud and overwhelming, but also awesome to get to spend time celebrating Passover with that many family members.
here’s to the final days before 22 and graduating!
