Goals, Self-Improvement, and Reflection

Today I have had some time to reflect on who I am now, who I want to become, and how I am going to get there. I know that I am not perfect. That being said one of my weakness's is beating myself up for all mistakes I make and for the imperfections that I see in myself (I am sure 1 in every 2 people in the world share this same weakness with me;))! So this list that I am making is a list of goals and self-improvements that I want to work at each day for the rest of my life! Another weakness of mine is that when I get emotionally hurt (which as a female happens a whole lot...thank you for the extra dose of hormones!;) I tend to try and make myself as busy as possible! So this go around as I am trying to figure out some pretty big decisions I am making myself slow down...learning to deal with problems, emotional stress, and basic every day life challenges head on...one at a time...and with a new perspective of looking at the bigger picture. So here goes:

1. Immerse myself daily in the scriptures

2. Intently and meaningfully pray to my father in heaven each day

3. Find the smallest things to be grateful for each day

4. Set goals...and follow through with them
