Jethsel's Start of the Week Habit v48 5 STEPS

I was thinking of what to write for you today when I remember this movie from Star Cinema in 2008, “My Big Love”. I don't think you've seen it but there's one thing that i'd like to share with you from that movie which we can definitely apply in our daily lives.

The lead character, Toni Gonzaga, a gym fitness instructor, shares 5 steps to her clients to attain their Goal (in losing weight):

Step 1: Set your goal – do something you want to do, not out of revenge to someone or any form of vendetta, but do it for yourself.

Step 2: Start today – Today not tomorrow.

Step 3: No shortcuts – You really has to work hard for it.

Step 4: Get motivated – look for someone or something that would inspire you to achieve your goal.

Step 5: Be happy – be happy with what you are doing. nothing else makes hard work easy if you love doing it for yourself.

The steps mentioned were not only applicable for loosing weight, but in any other goals you've set for yourself. You can actually complement this with the SMART goal-setting – that is Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-Bound.

The movie was not just fun and laughter, but shares a good lessons worth living by – not only about losing weight and being healthy – but an important lesson about “Being Happy" and working hard for your dreams.

I’ve done some of my goals following the steps mentioned above. Make it yours too. ;)

Fear and Forgiveness

It's my parent's 30th anniversary and our Brian's christening on Saturday where in spite busy schedule preparing everything for the visitors, i still think of Jacob.  I packed Beef Tapa and Pancit for him and even thinking of bringing him Salad for dessert.  We didn't have a good conversation after hours of waiting for him then he finally said we're not meeting up because he's not in the mood and he wants to stay at home and watch Initial D.  Then all of my insecurities and paranoia came out. I started thinking, just like what happened with Jeff, very similar indeed. He started confirming why he's sticking with me. He reminded me to stop counting the days and enjoy that we're together. I think his way of showing me that he likes me is seeing me everyday for dinner. Though i heard him said, "ano bang napapala ko pag pumupunta ko sayo? Kahit pagod ako nagpupunta pa din ako. Dapat maapreciate mo yun." I am not sure what that means but i just w...

The Mid-Year Crisis

I call it Mid-Year Crisis. And literally, this happens in the middle of the year. Have you been here: Anxious about the status of your career Panicky about your financial status which is directly correlated to your, uhuh, Career Forced to get married in the next two years because you're not getting any younger Fretting over time lost where you feel you've been completely unproductive yet you feel so tired and restless Pushing the panic button because at this month, you haven't really achieved anything from the goals you have listed at the start of this year Felt so alone and no one cares to listen because (a) You're too embarrassed to tell any of your friends (b) You know from past experiences that your friends won't care (c) They are also experiencing the same crisis Bring down the curtain and wind up that it is really hard to be successful in this life and it's just so hard to achieve your dreams so you better look for an alternative, Uhhmm, letting yourse...
