I think the development of each aspects can be improve by one activity by aspect. And, sometime, one activity can have impact on more than one aspect. To start, I really like to go to the gym, but I don’t always take the time to go there, because I often have something else to do. So, to help me, I can plan some gym workouts in my agenda and respect the planning. This measure will help me to add more physical activities. After, I know there are some Yoga activities at the university’s sports center. If I register at some regular Yin Yoga class each week, that will help me to improve the development of two aspects, which is spiritual and physical aspects. About the family activities aspects, I could call my parents and my twin brother more often. Indeed, they live far from Quebec City and I only see them once a month. After, I can be less shy and ask my friends to do more activities with them. Usually, I’m waiting that they propose to do something, but sometime, when it happens, I am busy. So, if I take the lead more often, I will be more active in my social life. To improve the development of the aspects of cultural and intellectual activities, I could start to read books about history. I really like reading and history, so I can start to mix these two things. I think that reading is a good intellectual activity and history is related to the culture. To finish, my spiritual and physical activities aspects. I can do a more effective planning of my homework and studies like with the help of an agenda and some schedules.

There are some things I can stop to do to help me to have a better life balance. First, I can try to stop to go at the bed so late. Often, I’m tired in the day and those episodes of tiredness can slow down me in my activities. So, at the end of the day, I didn’t do all the things I would have liked to do. Usually, it’s the spiritual, intellectual, cultural or physical activities which are set side. Also, like I said previously, I’m a shy person, so I don’t really take the lead to plan some social activities. If I do some effort and try to be less shy, I will be more satisfied in my social activities aspects. To finish, I can stop to do procrastination. Indeed, I think a can save a lot of time and be more efficient is a stop to postpone the stuff I really need to do.

Today, just before going to sleep, I decided to read some pages of my book about the mythology.  I really like reading before going to the bed. Also, I decided to plan some gym workouts in my agenda for all the week and the next week. The next challenge will be to respect my planning, but I know I can do it.
