Advice for the newyear

''Be Positive''

Before the ending of this year, be sure to write down every goal that you want to accomplish for the new year, on a piece of paper or white board ^_^.

Weigh the pros and cons of how these goals will change your life for the better. 

''People and change''

Think of the positive people in your life and think of the negative. I say this because, while starting the new year it is important to have people around you that are willing to support you in the positive decisions that you make in your life. Verses the people who may try to bring you down. If you are tired of being around people who tell you what you cannot do as far as accomplishing positive goals, be around positive people who will support you.

 

''Advice for Highschoolers''

If you are in high school at this moment,whether you are in the 9th grade or 12th, this advice applies to you ! : In this stage of your life, you are transitioning into the realities of the work world. That means taking a bigger step into accomplishing your school or work goals. It is crucial that you start making life changes now ! Participate in clubs, complete volunteer work and join social events such as school meetings. ( I knew a lot of people who have missed out on those and were totally lost about what was going on in our school setting.) Voice your opinions and let people hear that you do have a VOICE !! The more references that you gain, the more people around you -- will know that you're  a hard working student. The more people that you work with such as (Teachers, counselors, social workers, parents.) You'll have a better chance at accomplishing your work goals instead of just sitting around being unheard. 

''Dealing with stress''

This advice relates back to "Being Positive" As you begin to give your goals a shot, always remember what you can and cannot handle with in them. If you are the type of person that can multitask your work under pressure, that's great ! However, if you are the type of person who doesn't take stress well and cannot multitask, be easy on yourself. Write down the goal that you need to work the hardest to accomplish, how long it will take before you can move on. Do the same for all of them. I usually set a time limit for my goals... that always keeps me motivated. I know how long I should focus on that goal and how it will benefit me during the year.
