c. Reaching Goals and Minimizing Stress
It can almost go without saying that I have my work cut out for me over the next couple of years. I have set before me a really demanding list of goals, and in order for me to achieve these goals I am going to have to systematically apply all of the psychological concepts that I have learned to my everyday life. Starting with the most basic concepts like getting enough sleep, or meditating will assist me by means of escape from everyday struggles.
