Phase 1: School Grind 09/13/23

[9meow]

This phase will continue until you are accepted and ultimately enrolled in a Psych Undergrad. This is all you'll be focusing on during this time period.

Goals:

1. Getting into a psych undergrad program as a transfer student
2. Making progress towards admission every day
3. Maintaining employment while you do so
   
4. Thinking and behaving more like your ideal self every day (can do this any time)

 

Why do you want to accomplish these goals?

1. Getting into a psych undergrad program as a transfer student-- it's been long enough. I'm bored with how my life is right now, though I'm not depressed. Feel like I've reached the ceiling on the happiness I can attain without working towards this major block in my life. It's like a clump of earwax-- it just needs to get out, and be done. Can take me to greater heights eventually as a Psychiatrist. I can't do what I want to or feel the way I want to in life without being here first. I am worthy of more than this. You can be set up and fulfilled for life.
2. Making progress towards admission every day-- need consistency and attention to deadlines, details, and my current situation if I want to make this a reality. Or it's going to slip away.
3. Maintaining employment while you do so-- It's what a psychiatrist would do. Need money, and the social interactions help. Perfect testing ground for acting like your ideal self. Amazing environment for research and action as well. 
4. Thinking and behaving more like your ideal self every day-- If you act the part, you'll become it.

How have you made progress towards admission and becoming your ideal self today?

What do you want to do to get closer to your goals tomorrow?

• Go to work on time
• Walk slowly
• Don't talk until you've formulated a response
• Make a thorough case for yourself with Foothill. Start a document for this!!! Examine your transcripts. What do you want to change? What do you want to accomplish at the first appointment? Dissect the website, and resources.
