Personal Professional Goals

Improved Essays
Keeping my three personal and professional goals realistic, I would have to say a personal goal is to finish school at SNHU with a 3.0 GPA or above. I think a way for me to accomplish this goal is to stay focused on the tasks at hand, maintain a good relationship with my advisors and to utilize some of the tutoring options that are available to me as a student. Another personal goal is to work on myself, mentally. I cannot be a good mom or wife when I have the stress, anxiety and depression that I do. A way to help accomplish this goal is to not only start speaking with a psychiatrist (first appointment is August 4th) but to also have my thyroid checked. I know if you have thyroid problems it can attribute to some of the problems I am having. …show more content…
My score was a 526 which is considered high stress, which means I have a high or very high risk of becoming ill in the near future. The results were not surprising to me because I have taken on a lot of responsibility in the last year. I got married, I started a new job, got pregnant, lost my job, have a high risk pregnancy and lost my niece. Although my life usually doesn’t contain this much stress at one time, I usually have a lot of stress. I think part of the reason is because I don’t know how to relieve some of it. I stress over nonsense sometimes too. I definitely think therapy will help this problem and when I have my daughter I will also be joining a gym so that I can relieve stress that way also.

The results of my self-assessment can definitely impact my ability to reach my personal and career goals. If I have a nervous breakdown or if I just can’t seem to find my way up from drowning, I could fail school which would affect two of my goals – maintaining a 3.0 GPA and also becoming a Human Resource Manager. It would also essentially put me back at square one for my therapy.

In conclusion, I think that right now I am in fight mode for my future and the future of my family. My family depends on me to be happy and healthy so I can be the mom and wife they need. I will overcome my stress and depression and create a better future for

    Reflecting on Chapter fifteen, burnout is “the condition of someone who has become very physically and emotionally tired after doing a difficult job for a long time” (Burnout, 2015). Professionals may become burned-out very quickly. In counseling it is very important to take care of yourself so you do not get burned-out.

    Having a high-stress score can probably be lessened if I have better communication skills. Stress is caused a lot of the time by not communicating what we want or even telling someone how they can help. This can be shown in real life by my lack of asking for help when I need it. My husband always tells me how this is my downfall when he walks in after working and I haven't really completed much of anything, but having two screaming kids and a messy living room. Even with all the stress of life I have, I have very little chance of having a burnout which I think has something to do with my ability to handle stress and having a laid-back personality.…

According to the score interpretation provided on the website, this means that I only have a low to moderate chance of becoming ill in the near future. This result is what I was looking forward to and it makes me feel relieved that the chances of me being sick anytime soon is very minimal. However, I think that I should not be too comfortable with my score of 138. This is because I am just a few points away from falling within the second category which ranges from 150 to 299.…
