My two dominate habitudes are target goals and spontaneous. The advantages from target goals that are most like me are: setting and accomplishing goals, having a sense of well-being and control, and having money for unexpected expenses. The advantages from spontaneous that are most like me are: enjoying an exciting and fun life and being able to respond quickly to opportunities that are given to me. The target goal advantages help me create an emergency fund when something unexpected comes up. For example, about a year ago my dog had to have an emergency surgery that costed me $1400. If it was not for me keeping an envelope in my safe for emergency use only I would not of been able to pay the vet bill; the vet that did the surgery will only …show more content…
I feel like I am missing the advantages of not feeling pressured to buy things from others, being able to give to charities or people in need, and adapting easily to new situations from the free spirit habitude. From the status habitude I feel like I am missing the enjoyment of sharing with others and presenting a strong first impression. Some things I am glad I do not have from the free sprit are: missing items due to sharing, not being able to support myself/always depending on others to support me, and missing opportunities by avoiding commitment. From the status habitude I am glad that I do not create a false impression, get myself into debt to maintain my appearance, and not having any emergency or unexpected money put …show more content…
I could also make sure that I am almost completely out of debt, mainly school loans and car loan. I could learn to be more generous with my money, so that when I do get married later on in life, I will be able to share my income with my spouse and even buy little gifts every once in a while. I think to balance all the habitudes between my future spouse and I, I would suggest that he should be more on the selfless side, and security side. I choose this two, because I feel like the status habitude is something that could be a bad financial trait in someone. Also, I do not like the the free spirit habitude is mainly having someone else financially support you. I do not want a husband that I have to financially support all the time, I would not mind helping put him through school, but it would bug me if I knew he could get a good job and make some income and never
Therefore, creating goals helps establish what direction I am trying to go in, and also allows me to figure out how to solve a problem. Another example is if I fail a test, I will try to examine the errors within my work; however, I will then create a goal for myself to make sure I do better on the test the next time. Finding the errors and creating goals to fix the errors makes me an independent learner. I am taking the charge that I want to do better; therefore, I am going to create a goal that helps me succeed. By fixing the errors, I then challenge myself, inside and outside the classroom.
feeling of accomplishment. I will explain a couple of the habits which I found to be the most
One behavior that I tend to exhibit is stress. I often worry about things, like the future, and anticipate on this going wrong often. “You think about how your choices and their consequences could affect you down the road.” (“My Virtual Life” Emerging Adulthood) “You’ve thought about the future some, and will probably be feeling worried the more you think about it.” (“My Virtual Life” Emerging Adulthood) I need to relax a little about things, and let life happen as it does. The majority of things that I worry about are beyond my control. This might serve as obstacles later in life because stress can lead to health problems. A lifetime of stress can hurt your heart and blood pressure, along with other things.
A person’s goals can usually be tied back to the values they obtain in life- whether it be money, success, family, etc. With this in mind, a goal I carry with utmost importance is an aspiration to help others in a way that leaves a lasting impression on their lives.
In March, my PSYC class was presented with a challenge - to identify a personal improvement goal and to address this issue using an Immunity to Change map. My lengthy list of personal struggles was quickly narrowed down to one item with focused reflection. My improvement goal was to engage in productive thoughts and behaviors that would provide better time management practices. I was initially looking to improve my behaviors at home so that it would translate into success in all areas of my life including my career. With thoughtful observation and consideration, the Immunity to Change (ITC) map provided a developmentally raw process that continues to help me focus on my improvement goal today. Although I am still working on this goal, this process created more opportunities to make significant development changes above and beyond my initial intentions.

Despite their benefit, SMART goals are not without their drawbacks which can hinder the obtaining of desired results. One difficulty regarding setting SMART goals is that the words “goals” and “objectives” are often used interchangeably and this can result in major difficulties (MacLeod, 2012, p. 69). Goals are more often general in nature, whereas objectives are tangible targets. This confusion of terms can result in unclear goals which invariably yields weaker results as compared to a clear
The first three habits include “Be Proactive; Begin with the End in Mind, and Put First Things First” encircle movements from a reliance state to a state of autonomy. The first habit ”Be Proactive” suggest that readers should take strong initiative in life through realization that decisions are the key determining factor that reflects individuals effectiveness in life. The individual, therefore, should take responsibility for the choices and potential consequences of those choices.

When I create a goal I always write down whether the goal is actually SMART, if I find that the goal is not “SMART” than I add all of the attributes of a SMART goal to it. These goals benefit my life because it keeps me organized on what I exactly what to accomplish I life. So far, by using smart goals I have been able to track just how well I have been doing in school. Every time I complete a goal, I get excited to complete the next goal. My goals keep me on track for my success and they motivate me to move on to the next goal. It’s an unspoken sensation to feel like you accomplished
Learning to budget comes in handy with resourcefulness as well. I have been forced to be on a budget as in, I have no choice but to budget my own money out, I have learned how save. That way, I am hoping when I am older and in my work force and my budget is not as tight as it is while I am a college student, I will make smarter financial decisions. I will learn independence, like I said I am so use to being around my parents, being away from them is showing me how to be by myself. I am the sole person responsible for me 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. I have learned to prioritize my tasks, I learned to switch my paste. Often times I have to do more than one thing at a time. I know what needs to be done and when it needs to be done. I learned to schedule my time based on the task at hand and get things done based on the level of importance. I have learned to work with others from a lazy person to someone who wants to control everything. I now know how to deal with others and have adapted to skill sets required in every workplace. All these skills are something that I could use in my work field. I learn creativity and innovation from my college experience and my interaction with my
A habit can be many things, some good, some not so good. Everyone has habits that they would like to change and maybe improve upon. I believe the majority of habits I have are good ones but some are not. These bad habits are the ones I will talk about.
