My health is more of a priority now. I see more providers to help me be proactive in my health in relation to stressors and the outcomes attached to certain stress factors,

I can feel comfortable & worthy to say no more often, and speak up for my availability before accepting new tasks.

I am still working on taking more breaks. 

I am still working on journaling. I am struggling to find this as a priority still.

Becoming healthier for me is actively choosing myself, first. This is a valuable and necessary goal, because my perception often misplaces my value and worth. Putting myself as a human, a whole person, last, has led me to a place where everything becomes of greater value than my own ability to function in a healthy way. 

Putting myself first looks like 
  • not skipping meals, no matter the stress, the time, the deadline. 
  • Having a set bedtime and a set wake time, with few exceptions
  • Finding/setting a schedule that works for me and sticking to that for academic structure success
  • Say no to  family members more if I need time for myself, my studies, my work, or for rest
  • Allowing myself to heal and not push through when I have a flare up
  • Choosing my importance over my ability to produce 
  • Refusing harmful diets like high sugar/caffeine intake
  • Being honest with myself about my abilities and disabilities
Obstacles that may affect my progress
  1. Not being aware of the goal and the steps
    • Making little effort to remain aware of the objective/desire
    • Not putting the goal in sight
  2. Fighting the steps no resisting the growth actions required
  3. Pushing myself too hard
  4. Listening to intrusive negative mindsets
  5. Perfectionistic behaviors, demands, or expectations 
  6. Repressing needs, feelings, and support resources.
When reviewing my goal timeline as I’ve been developing this over the las 3 years at MCU, nearly all of my goals had been achieved! When I first cam to this discussion, my min convinced me I had never reached a goal I’ve set and I had no idea what goal or improvement I could make now because of that mistruth. It took a few minutes and I remembered that I keep my Padlet for my goal timeline. I was able to review my goals and how far I’ve actually come through my work and efforts. This goal aligns similar to the mental health goal I have listed in several different topics. I have managed to move a long distance within my mental health care and treatment since that goal was written; I know that I can do this because I do love me no matter how hard the act of that is. This goal is about my health, and about reaching a level of optimal wellness, not perfection, and not a synthetic version that I’ve recently fueled with caffeine just to keep going and staying up too late to work on assignments because balance in time is still a learning curve I’m in. Vitality cannot be restored in me without this goal being met, the same as it has been working through my mental health. 

This goal is as challenging if not more than the others. It is the natural needs I refuse to acknowledge I have been worthy of myself and this goal is essentially the foundation of my sustainability as a person, a mother, a student, and one day a midwife.


Pt2

I CAN do this. I have already achieved many impossibilities!

I am worthy of the time I need away from other people or things to achieve my goals and actively take my action steps each day.
I am worthy of breaks, I rest often as I take action, so that I can maintain my vitality. 
I am more than what is hard, I am courageous.
I am confidently setting my action plan for tomorrows day.
  • Evening
Choosing me is healthy too!
Taking time to receive love is healing and restoring.
I am loving myself with everything I consume, I am restoring my body and energy healthily.
I am more than what I can do or produce.
I have made progress today in my actions and self love!
When I am tired I rest.
I am worthy of breaks and resting long enough to let my brain and body restore from my day.
I gave my best today and I am enough.
Tomorrow is a new day and I will rest tonight for myself and for my future.
