Journal 28
1.) I had fear that I would not pass one of my classes. I am a hard working and a good student, but I have a horrible habit of putting off important tasks. Why? I am all about fun and I have trouble believing in myself. I know that I can, but getting past all the doubt is extremely hard. I kept procrastinating on studying for tests. Thus, I did not do very well, because I waited and because I did not understand how to answer all the questions correctly. It was my fault completely. I have to work really hard now on my final because of my habit. I would have worked hard anyways, but I am going to work way harder this time.
2.) Join a couple support groups. One that helps with learning new ways to study and another for self-confidence. I want to start believing in my abilities again. I want to truly believe that I am completely capable. Talk to a counselor or a trusted adult. I need to be comfortable talking to someone about what is going on in my life. I do not feel comfortable talking to very many people.
Examples: Support groups, counselor and a trusted adult.
Experiences: I used to be very confident in my academic capabilities, but I have become really depressed and have neglected some of responsibilities to one of my classes. I want to become fully recovered from my present deep potholes in this road I call my life.
Explanation: Lack or loss of confidence/belief in one’s capabilities can result in a deeper fall into past habits. Wasting time is what I often do. I think it makes me feel better, but in the long end it just makes everything worse than it was before.
Evidence: Wasting time a.k.a. procrastinating is a bad idea, almost always. Your grades can fall letters, or a situation can become worse et cetera! Do not procrastinate or at least fully ponder the consequences if you do.
