Looking back on my semester, and my Global Mindset Inventory Assessment I can say based off of the parameters I set for myself, I could have been a lot better about ensuring that I achieve my goals and objectives. However, I think that by acknowledging the areas where I was the weakest/lacked the certain skillset needed, allowed for me to still have some personal growth in these areas.

Especially if you don’t make a conscious effort to follow the schedule you create. It’s easy to convince yourself that you will do something, but without having anything ensure that you’re achieving the task it can become very easy to convince yourself to put it off. Also another thing I learned from the behavior change process, is how much a creature of habit I am and how any slight change in my daily routine feels almost uncomfortable. From the reflection process, I’ve learned that I’m the type of person that if I want to achieve something I have to truly implement it into my schedule and plan for the time accordingly or else I won’t achieve them. Thinking back on the assignment I’ve also learned that while following a plan to work on these dimension is crucial to the overall success, sometimes even just being aware of these dimensions and how you fair in them can make you aware of other opportunities that allow for
