Alright, well a recap of my August goals:
Body - Improve my posture: I've done pretty well. I've been much more aware of how I hold myself, and have tried to straighten up (physically, not behaviorally). I can't tell how much it has helped, but I like to think I've start to make it a habit at least to notice my posture every now and then.
Mind - Improve my memory: I haven't done very well with this. Fortunately with the new semester starting and my increased responsibility to remember names of ward members, I think September may be a better month for this. I will make it one of my mind goals again.
Spirit - Improve my scripture study: It has definitely improved a lot! I really like the read-less-write-more technique, and will definitely be continuing it (hopefully with even more regularity) until I find something better. I think I made it a little more than every 3rd day in August, which I think I can attribute to the business of travelling. (Attribute, NOT excuse...)
Misc. - read more: Definitely doing well. I finished The Glass Castle a couple of weeks ago (thank you unnecessarily long routes to Detroit! SLC - Phoenix - Atlanta - Detroit) and I am about halfway through Ender's Game. I think once school starts it will be more of a challenge to read for recreation, but I will try to continue it. If I see myself trailing off, I may have to make it another misc. goal again.
Keep me accountable! I'll try to come up with some really good September goals now.

Nice choice of recreational books. Ender's Game is my all-time favorite novel, and I rather enjoyed the Glass Castle. Made me glad my parents are such...good, responsible parents.
ReplyDeleteI love that feeling of meeting goals; even if you haven't perfected all the ones on your list, you still should feel proud of yourself!
ReplyDeleteHey Bob! I was just reading through your blog. I like it. I know you wrote this almost a month ago, but I wanted to tell you, I noticed your good posture at FHE on Monday.
