What I Need To Stop Doing

New Years is a great way to start fresh with a new beginning. There are tons of things I should stop doing that would help me in school and being a better person.  The one thing I know I NEED to stop doing is second-guessing myself all the time. Whenever I do something I always have these thoughts going on inside my head saying that I'm not doing something right or I'm going to get it wrong so end up changing my mind and doing it over. Sometimes it helps me because it really makes me think about what I'm doing and sometimes I find mistakes. Second-guessing myself also makes me hold back from gaining the courage to do something. Like for example the other night I was baking a cake, I mean how complicated could that when your reading directions from a box? Anyways I second-guessed myself a lot while doing it and it was making me think I was doing something wrong. So in the long run, second-guessing myself made me miss out on things and get things wrong too. Especially when I'm doing something right and then I second-guess my self and end up getting whatever I'm doing wrong. So I NEED to STOP second-guessing myself!

WHAT TO STOP

I definitely know there are a TON of things I should stop doing, but I think what is most important is to stop pushing things away. I have a desk in my room, to do all my projects on and to store things. The problem is, it gets REALLY messy. (looking back, I realize why my floor is covered in paint) I always tell myself to just clean it, but I honestly am scared that it would take forever. So I keep pushing it away. Anyway it just gets messy again, right? I push away things I am afraid of, even the little things. the other night, I was reading a random book, and for some reason it had instructions on how to read a palm. (DON'T ASK!) so I tried it and whenever my palm "said" something I didn't want, I lied to myself. I know if I try, I can accomplish big things I just need to stop PUSHING THINGS AWAY !!!

Things to Improve this Year

This year is a great year for new beginings! I need to stop doing a lot of things, but one
 thing I could stop is procrasinating. I always am up at 12:00 the night before the assignment
 is do. I need my sleep if I can just get the assignment done when it is assigned that would
 benifit me a lot. Another thing is I need to stop watching tv and start reading more. I am
 always behind in reading, and I think I could really get caught up and maybe even get ahead
 if I start reading when I usually watch tv. The last thing is that I need to is stop hanging out
 with my friends so much and spend morer time at home with my dog and my family. That is
what I need to stop and start doing.

Things to abandon for the New Year

There are many things I want to accomplish and stop doing for the new year. First of all, I would like to stop eating more junk food. I'd like to eat healthier to become healthier. Secondly, I would try to exercise more because I would be sitting in a chair for most of the day. Third of all, I think it will be cool ( for me ) to learn another skill that would be fun to do. Also, I think it would help me a lot if I would organize my work so it won't get lost. I noticed a lot last year that I had a lot of absences. I'd make a goal like "I'd go to school if I am not barfing like crazy or on some type of family emergencies.". I could go on and on about these new year resolutions but I wouldn't know how to keep up with all of them. So the final thing I am going to start this year is finding a way to keep up and keep doing these goals. Well, I hope I didn't take up too much of your time and I hope you achieve your goals too in this new year!

Resolution to Stop!

One thing that I will STOP doing is judging. I sometimes tend to make assumptions before getting to know the person. It leads to gossip, and that is never good. When I judge, it doesn't make me feel any better about myself, and I'm sure that the person on the other end wouldn't feel any better either. Judging is a no-win situation. I know that it is easy to get caught up in all of it when I'm with other people. It can sometimes be hard to stop and say we shouldn't judge or gossip, which is why I am deciding to end that bad habit and stop judging.

🚫What NOT to do in the New Year!🚫

With the New Year finally here, and a new, more mature 13 year old me, there are plenty of resolutions to make.  First off, I need to procrastinate less. Most of my work has been in on time, but I have had some late stuff. If I get more stuff in on time, I will have better grades. Sometimes, I ignore my mom when she tells me to do something, and I need to stop that. She usually knows what the right thing to do is, and I take her advice for granted. I can easily be distracted, and I need to stop... well, stopping my work to watch other people do their stuff. If I can stay focused, 2019 will be my best year!

January Blog Post: Due January 31st

Hello! Welcome 2019:) As you know, this time of year is quite popular for setting goals and resolutions to improve yourself. However, there is another school of thought that believes we make more progress when we decide what to STOP doing.

Your assignment is to write 1 paragraph on what you will STOP doing this year that will help improve you as a student and/or as a person. Remember to comment on at least 3 other posts. You can make it funny (stop peeing in the pool) or serious (stop being quiet when your friends start to make fun of someone). It needs to be a LONG paragraph, 7-10 sentences, and be very descriptive. Thanks!
