I will primarily focus on allowing myself to be more joyful and carefree. I will set time aside to enjoy the fruits of my hard work to motivate me to continue to work with such dedication. To achieve this, I will purposefully spend at 1 hour everyday doing something I enjoy. I will keep in mind the need to acknowledge and accept the challenges that will occur by "reminding [myself]: the power to create the life [I] want is within [me]. Accepting that [I choose] what happens next" (D'Souza, 2011, p. 1717).

To create my own opportunities I will research schools that are the best fit for me. I will research what time of year is best to apply, what is preferred in an applicant, and what courses or experiences are recommended. I will prepare for the application and interviews for the program. I will not hesitate to apply to schools out of fear of rejection. To remind me of this I will form a list with three schools I desire, three schools I do not qualify for but am interested in, and three schools I am qualified for but are not my main interest.

"Desire to change" is based on dissatisfaction, what I envision for the future, and how I plan to achieve this (D'Souza, 2011, p.1750). I am dissatisfied with my current scope of practice as a practical nurse. I envision myself having the knowledge to diagnose and treat my patients. To achieve this I have set a plan to obtain my bachelors and apply for graduate school.

When indecision or lack of motivation occurs, I will shift my perspective and "reverse the interpretation of situations using a gain or loss framework " (D'Souza, 2011, 1769) so that my actions align with my goals. This will serve a motivational strategy so that I do not lose sight of all I have invested. This will be an effective strategy since "people who have sacrificed the most are personally invested in the course of action" (D'Souza, 2011, 1769).
