Milestone 4

Improved Essays
As I began Milestone four, I stopped and thought about the goals I wanted to set for myself. How can I best use this class and this project for personal growth? One, how can I best set myself up for success. Two in setting my goals, not to create too lofty of a goal that I will fail or produce additional stress in trying to reach the tartget. Lastly, how can I best incorporate the personal goals I set in Milestone Two. In Milestone two, I identified the three goals I sought to set for myself. Also, wanting these stress relieving goals to encompass my mind, body and spirit. These goals honor the significant areas of my life: meetings that I must attained for my sobriety, continuing to do service work and finally my spirituality fitness.

Goal two is working with others or service work. As I have mentioned, I am the operations manager for a non-profit organization in Aliso Viejo, California. One of my duties relates to sharing with the women in the house. Being permitted to help a fellow woman, or merely listen to her life story is a way of reducing stress. Getting out of myself and being there for my fellow addicts is a gift beyond explanation. When my thoughts are focused elsewhere and not on myself, I feel a sense of ease. For my sub-goal, in the theme of working with others. I sponsor women in the program; this involves working the twelve steps of the program of Alcoholics Anonymous. Meeting at a coffee shop and teaching the steps to my sponsee. This gives me the opportunity to share my experience strength and hope with my fellow alcoholic. To Make my goals achievable I will set aside one day a week to meet and Work the steps of Alcoholics Anonymous with my sponsee. I also will set aside one day every other week, for a three-hour shift to work at the step house. When working with others, there is freedom found inside of me that is produced that I can not explain. However, I can describe, my body lightens, and my thoughts are clear and

    Discussion Forum Answer Unit 8 Goal setting helps one in choosing where one want to go in life (Mindtools.com, 2015). Hence, thinking about a particular goal that I had set for myself that I couldn’t achieve, I will have to flash back to my days in secondary school. I remember vividly that when I was to sit for my first Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE), I drew out grades that I wanted to achieve in some particular subjects. Unfortunately, at the end the day, I couldn’t meet up to the grades I had set for myself. And the reasons I believe was the cause of these failure were loss of focus, lack of continual action and lack of commitment (Denis Hocker, 2011).…

    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.…

    An exercise in class allowed me to understand my own reasoning for helping others as well as what may be my own selfish reasons for seeking this profession. For example, at one point in the exercise, I broke ground into my own self-assessment and found insight that I was partially seeking the profession for money and for my savior complex. I felt that this observation of myself showed that I was overall, functioning normally with both healthy and minimal unhealthy motivations. Another concern that came across my mind is when I have a…
