Artist Instrument Final

   Considering I am a senior, I am so glad that I took this class. I think this is exactly what I needed before I went off on my own into the real world. I am going to go over my spiritual, food, and fitness goals that I wanted to accomplish and if I succeeded with them. I am also going to go over what worked for me in this class, and what I am going to carry on with me.    For my food goals, I wanted to accomplish eating better, no red meat, less carbs, more organic, and eat breakfast. As the semester first started, it was a struggle for me. I wasn’t eating terribly but I also wasn’t eating enough also. I got so adapted to this lifestyle that I wasn’t even hungry unless it was on my schedule. So, transitioning into eating breakfast and consuming less carbs was hard, considering everything that is easy to grab are mostly carbs. Soon, I developed a new system and I got to like it. I transitioned into eating mostly the same food such as oatmeal, fruit, chicken, and fish. I accomplishe

Artist Way Workbook Week 12

So for week 12, I liked activity 1 because this is what I've been reflecting on this whole semester. When thinking about this question, I realized maybe a few weeks ago, I would have had a whole list of resistances for the future. But now, I can hardly think of any. I am actually optimistic for the future. I saw a quote yesterday and it said "Humans plan their future with their hearts, but God determines our future with our steps". I like this because I feel like I'm working hard, and I've been applying for jobs, but there is only so much we can do, and this goes for any situation. Sometimes we  just have to let go, and let God. I would say some fears that I have is not finding a job or not finding a job that I enjoy. But this question made me reflect how much I've let go of this semester.

I just want to say that I am super excited to get back into the yoga!

Artist Date

As you may know, it rained really good on Wednesday, so I sat on my patio and just watched it rain. I like to do this because my patio echoes everything and it enhances the smell of rain. I don't know why it does this, but it is just so relaxing.

Work Out this week

I really like this fence because it is half an acre long so it gives me an idea of how long I am jogging.  I like to jog on this grass because I feel it is nicer on my legs and it gives me more grip.  So, for this week I jogged up and down the fence line. Every time I was going to turn around to jog to other side, I would do 10 jumping jacks. I did this about 10 times and by then I was really slowing down because I was getting tired. I also enjoy this workout because Lady enjoys being outside (she's mostly inside), and I can watch her. Once I was done with this I would do some sit-ups and then stretch. I did this twice this week, and my legs are SORE! I don't know what it is about the grass, but I think it gives me a better workout. 

Artist Way Workbook Week 11

For week 11, I did activity 2 because I really like this question. I don't think I've changed drastically, but I have changed in the way I think. I feel I think a lot more positively, especially now that I feel like my hard work is accomplishing something. I can finally see the finish line and it's a great feeling. I know that there are things that me and my fiancé need to work on such as our communication, but we plan on going to pre-marital counseling, and I'm more willing to critique myself because I now know my flaws because of this class. I can be selfish and not listen. I tend to put my needs above his, which isn't right. I wouldn't have even realized it if it wasn't for this class. It just became an unconscious pattern I was doing. I want to work on this and I want to become more aware with myself.
