These things will play heavily into my decision making. I think the lack of planning ahead would be extremely detrimental to my mental health but also the mental health of those who I am with/responsible for (such as spouse or children). I think after this project is complete I just need to create as much structure for my life as I possibly can. It gets hard sometimes to do that but to just try as much I can I think is what's best for me because I get overwhelmed easily when I let things get out of control.

I have already donated 50 dollars to the Street Cats Club. I also got my roommate to help contribute, but she had a class that requires her to spend her time doing volunteer work. I told her she should volunteer for the Street Cats Club and she did! She ended up volunteering by helping them build little homes that they can use as refuge in the winter.

I really did try to go to therapy. The first appointment I set up I ended up getting the days mixed up so I showed up a day late to my appointment. I was really disheartened that day because it took me a lot to get the courage to go. I set up my next appointment and it ended up being on a day where I was supposed to go to the DMV and also was called into work earlier.

I am done reading Rise of Kyoshi and am halfway done reading another book called The Period Repair Manual by Lara Briden. I have been more interested in my reproductive health and that book has been incredibly insightful to me and I love reading it because I feel like it is not only better because I have been reading just in general but also because its contributing to my knowledge about my own health and body! The only thing that has been hard about finishing the book before the end of the semester is that I have been working more, and getting myself to read after working is really hard.

This goal has been successful just because I have started to make it a cute thing for me and my girls. We will choose a movie at the end of the month and drink some wine and unwind and have a fun night. Its been pretty tumultuous to get everybody to agree on a weekend but we now know just to take the last Saturday or Friday off of work.

I have been doing really good with going on walks. I have really added to it by counting my steps, which has been motivating me a lot. I go on my walks about twice a week usually, but sometimes only once. What really helps me is my work. At work I walk a lot and actively choose to take paths that make me walk around more. I also will offer to take out the trash or do tasks that result in me walking me more. I think my biggest barrier right now is that its getting colder and colder so I am less motivated to go out on walks.

Communication is the most crucial part of your satifaction in life because life is all about relationships. I think having healthy boundaries and standards for your communcation within relationships affects every aspect about your life. If you have poor conflict management skills then that leads to having less meaningful and healthy relationships, which decreases your quality of life as a whole.

I have decided I want to donate to the Street Cats Club, which is organization founded in Emporia dedicated to picking up stray kitties off the streets and spaying/neutering them and sending them to good homes. I follow them on Facebook and they are always asking for donations or contributions to their Amazon wish list for supplies for the foster kitties they have. It would also be easy to get my friends to donate because they all loveeee cats!

I have not set up therapy, I keep putting it off and honestly forgetting about it. But the biggest step is setting it up, so I really just need to set an alarm or something and make myself do it.

# data[].attributes.body
I have not read as much I have been wanting to. I have read of a few chapters of the book I was most anticipating (Shadow of Kyoshi). I am just having trouble putting down my phone and choosing to read instead. I also thought I should be bringing my book with me on to campus just so I could read between class or when I have time.

My friends and I have not done a movie night yet this month. This is because there is not a lot of times our schedules align, and when they do we would rather go out to the bars or do something other than sitting down and watching a movie, but I am hoping to get everybody to go to theatre to see a movie we have all been excited about called Pearl.

So far, I have only been going on walks so I haven't been completely lacking on this goal. It also makes it easy that my boyfriend is always eager to go outside and be active! I want to start going on runs, so I need to just go for it instead of only going on walks. Typically we walk from my apartment to down town. But instead of doing that route for runs I plan to just run around campus.

I plan to work on all of these goals throughout the semester. They all can be worked on slowly and thoughtfully. I also don't want to overwhelm myself and allow myself enough time to complete all of them!

Finding a local charity/organization I believe in might take some research. I also want to ensure my money goes to a place where it will be used for good, and not for personal use of people who do not need it. Getting my friends to join me and pitch in might be a little difficult as well, just because most of my friends are broke college students (like me).

Calling places to schedule appointments gives me anxiety, and that first step is the biggest one. I also would have to figure out times during the day and week for therapy that would fit my schedule. I just started a new job as well, so figuring that out with work might be a little bit of a struggle.

It’s hard for me to get into the mood to read. I used to read a lot (like a lot) more than I do now, so I get frustrated when I try to read and just can’t concentrate. Finding the time to read is another challenge, when I have energy I would rather spend it on being out and about, and when I have lower energy, I would rather be on my phone and get cozy and ready for bed.

# data[].attributes.body
My friends all have their own lives and schedules as well, so sometimes its hard to find times that work for all of us. Picking a movie is also another struggle, since everybody has different tastes.

I get tired after work or class, so sometimes after that it's hard to find the motivation to go out and be active. The heat also discourages me so I will use that as an excuse to not go out.

Knowing that donating to the local charity/organization that I choose will benefit them is a huge motivator. I have donated my money in the past to charities/go-fund-me’s/organizations so it is not new to me.

My friends are encouraging of me going back to therapy, so if I need the motivation to set up therapy or continuing to go then I can easily find it with them. I also enjoyed and found therapy very helpful when I used to go, so this gives me another good reason to go back.

Once I am in the mood to read and capture that flow, then it's really easy to keep going. Reading also relaxes me and helps provide a mental escape, so that should motivate me to keep going on my goal. I also have two books already started, so continuing to read them and finishing them should be an attainable goal.

# data[].attributes.body
All of my friends love to watch movies, so getting them to agree to a monthly

movie night is not an issue. We also like to spend nights in together, so this is

another thing that would make this goal pretty easy.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel good about myself after I go for a run/walk, this motivates me. I also bought new headphones specifically for going on runs/walks. I can ask my roommate or boyfriend to accompany me as well.
