Just because the time and date changes, does not mean I have to change to. Therefore, the New Year, New Me thing does not apply to me. What I will do though is grow, which is what we all should thrive to do every-day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'andale mono', monospace;\"><strong>New Routine:<\/strong> In order for me to grow, I have to put myself on a routine or schedule that involves all things that will enhance my mental, emotional,and physical traits. Of course just because I put myself on a routine or schedule, does not mean everything in my life is going to happen according to that. But, that is where the growth comes in. How do I deal with the unexpected things that take place?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: terminal, monaco, monospace;\">Here is my routine\/schedule:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: terminal, monaco, monospace;\"><strong>Mental:<\/strong> Around October or November, I started having frequent headaches. I used to wonder why, but now I know. It was because I constantly remembered EVERYTHING I had to do\/know. I never wrote anything down, I would just keep it all in my head. So now, as soon as I recognize that something has to be added to my day or week, I put it in my calendar on my phone and set two reminders for it. That way, I can go through the day only worrying about what I am focused on at that time. It is still a lot, but a lot easier.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: terminal, monaco, monospace;\"><strong>Physical:<\/strong> Around November, I started noticing that either my pants were shrinking or I was gaining weight. Come to find out, I was gaining weight. When we went home for Christmas\/New Year&#8217;s break, I went to the doctor and found out that I have gained 40+ pounds. I wish I could blame it on this school, but I can&#8217;t. It was all me. So, before my birthday, February 28, I will tone this weight. I don&#8217;t want to lose it because the weight looks good on me. I just need it all to not look like it&#8217;s just there. So, I am committing to exercise everyday. I WILL&#8230;. stretch, walk for 4 minutes and 25 seconds, do 16-25 squats, run for 2 minutes and 16 seconds, do this crazy leg\/stomach\/back workout, lift 40-60 pounds of weights, do the Move Your Body challenge, and run in place EVERYDAY! I think by the end of January, I should be fine, don&#8217;t you think?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: terminal, monaco, monospace;\"><strong>Emotional:<\/strong> I was an emotional WRECK by November. Guess what? Now&#8230;. &#8220;I PUT MY FEELINGS ON SAFETY!&#8221; &lt; Ella Mai Reference!
