Status Check/Self Evaluation



My self eval a year later...

This was taken from my last blog entry on December 30, 2012.  Self Eval in Blue:



Dear "Diary",
As this year comes to an end and the new year fast approaches, I felt compelled to make some new year's resolutions (even though someone very close to me is VERY anti-resolutions):

1. Be nicer: I used to be nice. But the last couple of years have made me a little bitter. I catch myself taking out my anger and frustration on the undeserving. Must stop immediately.  [SC:  Better...but still needs improvement.  Be nicer to mom&dad.  Be nicer to B.  Be thankful and appreciate them every day.]

2. Practice patience: It's not a race. Go at my own pace and don't get caught up in what everyone else is doing. Trust that I know what is good for ME. This applies to everything.  [SC:  FAIL!  I get anxious when things don't go my way.  I'm too stubborn and competitive.  STOP and think: "what's the prize anyway??" That being said...i still wanna do a 25 minute OLH.  d'oh! :) ]

3. Let it go: My forgiving nature combined with my photographic memory have often caused me great pain. If I choose to forgive, beat it up and then let it go completely. [SC:  MAJOR FAIL:  I hold too many grudges. I still believe in, "Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice, shame on me".  But I should give people a second chance to redeem themselves (but...I DON'T i have to be their best friend). ]  

4. Take control: Stop playing the victim and take control of situations. If it is out of my control, trust in karma. [SC:  Much Improved.  I fear less.  I'm stronger.  I know I'll be ok.  In time, everything returns to its equilibrium]

5. Make health a priority: Recovering from illness and injury steals time. Life is short. Make smarter choices. Eat better, exercise more, laugh and love EVERY single day. [SC:  I could work on the eating better and the exercising.  But I laugh A LOT and i really do love EVERY single day :) ]

Cheers to 2012!  [SC:  2013 will be even better!]
