Along with our personal mission statements, we have been talking about life planning in class, and forming our own life management plans. There were eight different areas to our life plans: personal development, wellness, interpersonal relationships, family, education, career, community and leadership involvement, and financial goals. It was difficult to set different goals in this many areas, as I had thought about the future before, but never in so many aspects at the same time. For example, I had thought about what type of job I had wanted and the finances that would be involved, but I never connected those to how they might affect my relationships with my family and friends. The most challenging goal for me to set was my personal development goal. Being the perfectionist that I am, I always see room for improvement, but it was hard to choose what I wanted to focus on the most. I could always work on my time management skills, or becoming more resilient when I stumble upon obstacles in my path. Eventually, I decided on wanting to travel to Italy, as my family is Italian and I have always wanted to learn more about different cultures outside of America. One goal that will be the most beneficial for me is my wellness goal, in which I made a plan to get 8 hours of sleep each night. Currently, on the rare occasion that I do get enough sleep, it is easier for me to focus, I am much more productive, and overall I have a more positive mindset throughout the day. Working towards this goal will also be helping me reach each of the other goals I have set for myself. All in all, creating a life plan for myself has helped me gain a better vision of what I want my future to look like, and when I can see my future, I find it that much easier to work to make it a reality.
