Accomplishment for the Day (1)

Accomplishment for the Day (1): Created a tracker for my physical activity and food intake. I'm trying to improve my well being and I want to start monitoring my day to day lifestyle to assess if I'm being sedentary or active and if I'm taking in justifyable food volumes and quality meals.

An accomplishment a day keeps the shrink away!

One sure fire way to boost confidence is knowing that you were able to accomplish something. May it be at work, school or home, completing a task no matter how minute or monumental it is brings about a sense of pride and control with oneself. And keeping a journal will enable you to have a proof of that achievement making other tasks as reachable as the previous ones.

This had worked for me since kindergarden. During those times, homeworks were listed in one notebook to be signed by my parents just to ensure that I will be properly guided. I adopted this practice through college and just recently about a year ago in my current profession.

I believe that this will greatly improve the way I go through with life. For the past few months, I felt inadequate as an educator and as a person. It feels like my students are not getting the guidance they deserve. So I started writing everything again. Sure I have a syllabus that I follow but not every single lesson and activity are finished within the day. And instead of worrying about being behind or advance, I'll try to focus more on what were the successes of the day and any improvements that could have been done for a more productive experience.

I want to start incorporating this practice to my daily life as well. So starting today. I would like to state the highlights of my day - accomplishments and areas for improvements. That way, I will have something to look forward to day after day.

I deeply encourage everyone to practice doing lists and make it a hard habit to break.

Life is a continuous learning process!

Life is a continuous learning process! I believe this is true no matter where you are in this journey. You will not hear (or read) here how wonderful my life so far or how extensive my experience as a person. There would be no boasting of the places I've been or the things I've done or that I am wholly contented with my life. All I have for you is the promise that I will do my best not to tell you what to do but to give you options. Because in life, there will be countless coaches, guides, and rules to follow but at the end of the day, it is you who plays the game. Pardon the cliche but since life is truly short, let's all try to play it well.

All I wish to do with this blog is learn from everyone. And since posing a problem is the only way I know to enable me to think of a solution, I encourage everyone to pour your heart out. And I'll keep my word that you would not find and scolding here but just words of advice. From time to time, I will also share observable phenomenon from life that inspired me or sparked any other emotion worth highlighting. We need not get acquainted, no strings attached. But I do hope that with this simple project, we will be able to touch each other's lives.
