When I did the quiz, the number that I received was about a 40. I don't believe that this number is necessarily a low score but, I do think that I could afford to pay more attention to my well-being. I think mostly the number is affected by my low self-esteem.

My goal for this semester to help me be more active within my day to day is that I will begin walking to class more than driving, this will help with money and my lack of quarters. I also have wanted to pick up going to the gym after classes. I think that by walking to class more often will help with the amount that I move within a day.

UPDATE: I have been walking to school basically everyday, the only day I hadn't was last Friday. The strengths I used were will power because I found it compelling to drive my car through out the day, but  I fought against that. The only barrier that I have come across is waking up in time to not have to turn the walk into a run. I plan to be successful by picking specific days so that I can still have at least one day where I can take longer to get ready.

UPDATE 2: I still have been walking a lot! I have walked more than the average walking to class everyday but I kind of slack a bit on the weekends. Some strengths I have been using is still a lot of will power because I am able to get my mind in the right spot to not just drive everywhere. The barrier for this update that I have came across was just not being lazy. It’s so easy to just take that extra time to nap or something.

UPDATE 3: I have been pretty successful at being more active overall, although I have kind of abandoned the plan a bit, because walking doesn't sound appetizing when it is freezing outside, and I just haven't been going to the gym. I have began to do an at home work out, and rehearsals for the show is in full swing so I have been way more active that way. I just used the strength of managing my time to wake up in the morning so that I can do my work out before the day even begins. The only barriers I have really came across for the initial plan were the fact that its cold and gyms have people that are more fit than I. My plan is to keep on keepin' on ya know what I mean. It's been working pretty well!

In the aspect of connections, I think that going to events that the college is putting on will help me meet more people. I have recently joined the improv club here at ESU, and I believe that through those rehearsals and performances that we will be having I will have plenty of connections. I believe that if I go out of my way to really know someone new that it would be beneficial.

UPDATE: I have not started this one yet. (Rehearsals do not start until the 27th)

UPDATE 2: I HAVE STARTED REHEARSALSSSS! Some strengths I have found through this goal was being confident. I’ve noticed that when I’m more confident I enjoy communicating with others more. The only barrier I have came across is just getting over that feeling of isolating myself.

UPDATE 3: I am still in the rehearsal process. I also was apart of the improv club and we recently did a show. Some of the strengths is being confident and just feeling good about the work I'm doing with my peers. The barriers I have faced are just making myself extroverted when I feel very introverted.

I think that the most beneficial thing that I could do to progress my learning abilities would be to STOP PROCRASTINATING. I think that has got to be the worst practice that I hold. I think that if I get the work done immediately that it will help to make sure that I am doing the work correctly/ understanding it.

UPDATE: I have started this one, I have been working on homework earlier that I used to ( this is a prime example). The strength that I have been using is my planner and planning my day out by time and responsibilities. I have yet to come across a barrier with this one. My plan to be successful is continuing to check out canvas daily to make sure that I have the dates down for when the assignment is due.

UPDATE 2: I have still just been trying to work on things the moment I realize they’re due soon. I obviously haven’t been doing so great as this is late. The barrier I have noticed is time. I feel as if I have very little time but if I were to think about how much time I spend on doing nothing important I do have plenty of time.

UPDATE 3: To be quite honest, I have not been doing great with this. I procrastinate like its going out of style. I haven't really gained any strengths from this because well... I haven't been doing it... I think my main barrier is time management and laziness.

Within the realm of Mindfulness, I believe that I could use a lot of work, but let us begin with a smaller step. So to begin with I will start my day by giving myself affirmations such as; "I will make the right decisions today," "I AM capable of making decisions for myself," etc. I think the main part of this goal would be to stop limiting myself and push for the things that are right.

UPDATE: These have been fairly easy to complete within the day. The main strength that I have used is yet again Will power. I just have pushed myself to believe the affirmations. My plan to be successful is to continue this and add more affirmations.

UPDATE 2: I have started to add new affirmations, one I have been saying lately is, “I will work hard to become who I want to be,” and I find myself falling into extreme moments of trying to better myself. The barrier I have noticed is forgetting to do them in the morning.

UPDATE 3: I have continued to do these and I have been finding new affirmations to say daily. I think that a strength that I have gained is feeling more adequate and happier with my self image. I think the only barrier that I have came across is remembering to say them daily.

For my goal that relates to giving, I want to start cleaning the community, on my daily walks I want to bring a bag with me so that I can pick up the trash that I walk past on the ground. I think that this would make our communities spaces look better and it will make me feel like I did something extremely helpful.

UPDATE: I have done this about 3 times throughout the week. I feel as if I could be spending more time to do this. The only strength that I have used with this one is time management, and I believe that I could be doing better with this. My plan to be successful is to add two more days to the days that I have been doing this to take more time on this goal.

UPDATE 2: I’ve actually been doing this so much because every time I see trash anywhere I just pick it up and throw it away. The strength I have used in this goal have been being present entirely and by this I notice more trash places. One of the barriers is probably the cleanliness because something it’s super gross. I have thought about getting a pair of gloves so I can keep myself clean!

UPDATE 3: I still do this! It's almost like an instinct now to clean up the world around me. I have gotten gloves so when I remember them I will pick up the nastier stuff. One of the barriers I have noticed through this goal is just the nastier trash really.

CHALLENGE: One of the challenges that I will face will definitely be time. I think that one of the best ways to combat this would be to fluently check the responsibilities for the day. I think that keeping multiple forms of calendars and reminders surrounding me at all times will assist me in being timely.

BARRIER: My main barrier would be being exhausted. I think that as a theatre student, I already have a lot on my plate. If I just get a good amount of rest and keep the random exertions to a minimal I can reach these goals.

1. Communication affects my well-being because communication leads to several different destinations, if I don't have confidence in what I'm saying I could be misunderstood and misunderstanding sometimes leads to poor relationships. Relationships most definitely affect personal well-being. The seven principles of smart love go into that spiel of relationships, to further explain smart love will only help your well-being, help you become a more happier person, and trustworthy. Personality is probably one of the major factors in well-being, if you think poorly about yourself because of traits that you project. that my friend is 100% well-being. The conflict management style could affect well-being based on how you react to being wrong or right in a situation. For myself, I am pretty competitive. So I would probably no being doing so great with losing an argument.

2. I think that stress could affect my well-being because it does seem to crowd my emotions with this insane sense of fear. I believe that this stems from not understanding how to deal with stress, and that only makes me more stressed. I think that stress just makes it really hard to be your best self because all you can think about is what you are stressing about. The perception of stress could affect the well-being because if you view it in a negative way then you could be worrying yourself over nothing. I think that stress could actually be a good thing if you take the time to listen to what that stress is trying to tell you but if you worry yourself too much then it could effect your day to day, another example of where the fear comes from. Because if you view stress in a bad way you will be scared about having stress.

3. I feel like a lot of thought will need to go into the idea of having children, and what responsibilities everyone will have within the household. I believe that sacrifices have to be made in order for life to go swimmingly, I don't think it needs to be a planned out type of thing, I just think that you  should do what you need to do within your house, as if you were living by yourself, if everyone does this, I think that the work load would be less for everyone. I don't think it needs to be a game of, "look how much I did," or "I did more than you," I feel like if that doesn't work it could affect my well-being because no one likes to feel as if they are a maid and they do everything for their grown significant other. I think that if I just continue to push myself to be better in all of these aspects, and maybe keep a journal of my progress, it will help me overall.
(THANK YOU FOR BEING SO AWESOME!)
