October is at it's end.
Here come's November.
December, then New year na :)
Lot's of plans during October, was , i would say , ""ambushed" . For instance, the VL I was looking forward on November 1,2, and 12 was well , now impossible to happen. I filed them like almost one month before, but then there it was not approved. :( Sad to think I won't be able to celebrate undas with Mc's fam. And I was really looking forward for dinuguaan, meryenda with Dianne and his other cousins. And eventually, going to the cemetery, light some cnadles and tell scary stories.. Really old school eh? haha.
Anywho, I never experienced much of those things during my teen years. :P Since we don't have any relatives living here in Cavite City. It was just Mom, ate, and me.
Well, goodby for my undas vacation. :(
Speaking of busted plans, it's almost the end of the year, yet whenever I'm look at my planner, things didn't go as I have planned before. For instance, I wanted to learn how to swim this year. Yet I was so busy at work and I didn't have any budget for the lessons :(
I said I'd take IVT training , but wasn't able to due to priorities and finances as well. And so on and so forth with things I wasn't able to do.
I realized I was not really "into it", when it comes to achieving the goals I made, I was really enthusiastic in planning but when it comes to action, I was not a woman of action :(
It's as if I just jotted down notes, i could think I wanted to do without reconsidering if it was REALISTIC or ATTAINABLE.
I remember when I was a kid, I would set goals at school for the day, on how many pages I'll finish within the day for my subjects. I ended up out of the 5 subjects I only met 3 subjects or the least 2.
May be I'm really like this, obviously when I was a child I was already one. .I can't and I shouldn't bring this with me until the old age. I would jeopardize not only myself but also my future family. I don't want my children to inherit this kind of Mediocre-attitude I have. So I decided to apply the SMART method I have learned during my studying years as a nurse.
S - Systematic .
M- Measurable
A- Attainable
R- Realistic
T-Timebound
I know this method has been proven to be effective not only in the medical setting. One of my former classmates applied this and there she is a Supervisor already. *wink* I'd say this should be a universal method for people wanting to set their goals and attain them.
Though It'll be tough for me , I know I can do this if I believe I can.
And finally, I know I can do all things through Christ , Who strengthens me. #laloove ~ ♪♫
