2016 Aspirations

First of all a little song! ;)

"We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
and a Happy New Year!"


 Thank you, thank you! I'll be here all week!

This year, I have five goals that I am trying to reach. My first goal is to exercise every day. I took three types of dance for three years each, and I certainly don't want to lose all of that physical health! I also want to stretch regularly, too.  My second goal is to be more careful and aware of things. I am forever bumping into things and getting bruises! My third goal for the new year is to write in my planner more at school. I sometimes forget to and I have to strain my brain to remember all my homework. My fourth goal for 2016 is to help my parents with cooking more often and to maybe learn or invent new recipes. My fifth and final goal this year is to be doing more art projects. I really love that kind of thing, but I haven't been doing it very often lately.

My most important goal out of my five is my first goal, to exercise more. This is important because I want to grow stronger and become more flexible. Right now, I can't even touch my toes when I bend down! :( However, I know that exercising and stretching daily will help me with that. Also, my mom stretches every day and she is very fit, so I want to be like that when I'm an adult. Plus stretching and exercise keeps your heart and other internal organs healthy. If I regularly exercise then it will become a habit, and I want to practice building good habits. These are the reasons why this goal is my most important one.

Of course, you have to have steps to ensure your success in completing your goal. For me, I have several steps. My first step is to write a note that I will put on my bedroom door that says, "exercise every day". I also will write a similar note in my bathroom and in my planner. My second step is to follow those notes and exercise daily. I will also stretch every time my mom does and maybe during recess and lunch too. My third step is to eat foods that do not have any food coloring and hardly any sugar, because when I eat that kind of thing I do not want to exercise . My fourth step is to have a chart where I mark a box off every time I exercise. Hopefully, these four steps will ensure my success in completing my goal by the end of 2016.
