january mini goals

i'd like to undo some bad habits i've formed over the past couple of years...
this month's focus?

  • fix my posture
  • get enough rest

i have never found slouching attractive but find myself doing it more so as of late while i work at a computer or stand in line at the grocery store or such. i feel lazier, less productive, less happy with myself. tsk tsk. it's a mini goal to reclaim that sneaky half-inch that's alluded me these past couple of years. to clue you in, i once stood at a proud 5'6", but the doctor and my students measured my height to be a sad 5'5"5"'. no me gusta. 

i've also been examining my sleeping habits and how i get ready for bed for my second mini-goal. 
i realized the following:
  • watching netflix or korean dramas before bed and falling asleep while watching them es no bueno
  • 6-7 hours of sleep is not enough for me; i'm more a of 8-9 hour kind of girl. bummer. 
  • i go a little crazy off less sleep during the workday - students are convinced it's the non-existent coffee in my thermos
  • i scramble in the morning to go to work despite the wonderful commute God has given me
by getting enough rest, i hope to achieve the following:
  • less dozing off during the day time and less napping
  • wake up earlier to pack my lunch like a grownup
  • take my time getting ready without feeling rushed
  • arrive at work earlier, i.e. 6:35-6:40AM, so that i can slowly walk through the hallways to my classroom in siberia and take my time getting my classroom ready for the school day. 
  • stop fantasizing about more sleep
  • stop hugging my pillow in the morning after hitting the snooze button, wishing that i could sleep for 30 more minutes.
