My accomplishments


This week I have decided that I am going to blog about what I have accomplished ever since I have stopped dancing. Ever since I have stopped dancing I have been able to manage my time and I have been able to accomplish so many more things that I haven’t been able to do in such a long time, and these things are:

·         Managing my time- Instead of rushing everything when I use to dance, Now that I don’t anymore I have a planner and schedule what I need to do so I have more time on my hands

·         Getting all of my school work done on time-I use to put off my homework at the last minute, or I wouldn’t do it at all, but I now I usually do my homework the night I get it or the next day.

·         Spending time with my family and friends- I can actually have family night Fridays now or I can hang out with my friends and not be so tired.

·         Going to the gym and still staying active- Even though I quit dance I decided that I wanted to join the gym to relieve all of the extra stress that I have and I want to still stay active.

·         More time to myself- Although I love being around my friends at dance an all, but having time to myself is great! I tend to get more things done when I am by myself.

·         Getting more sleep- When I use to dance I only got about 5 or 6 hours of sleep, but now I can take naps and get 8-9 hours of sleep

·         Focusing more on my career and future- When I was dancing I wasn’t really focusing on my school work and my career but I realized that school is more important because dance isn’t want I want to do for my career teaching is.



I am so glad that I have been able to accomplish all of these things on my own, and realizing that I made the right decision so I could accomplish these goals. I am excited to see what I will accomplish in the next few weeks and to see where I will go from here.

  1. I think this was an important post. You're reminding yourself of all the positives you've accomplished in the short amount of time you've not danced. Now think about a post where you evaluate the reality of research: find out how long people generally "stick" to a new routine and think about ways to combat roadblocks.

  2. Ooooo I'm so proud of you! Do you feel relieved, or are you still stressing about quitting?

    I've found that I've had to cut things out of my life as well, and while it seems miserable at the time, after a couple weeks I get over missing it and just move on.

    I like the bullet format you used here. Really clear.

    And BTW, you're welcome to pass some of that extra sleep my way. :)

  3. I am glad that you are happy about your decision. Have you ever considered helping out at the dance studio? That way you don’t have to quit completely. This was a good post because I feel that a lot of people have to drop things for school. This is a good example of how good things come from changing one thing.
