Last week's goal: Don't raise my voice AT ALL to my students and STAY patient.
I believe I did a pretty good job with this goal. I kept my cool. Sometimes I did have to be stern to misbehaving kids, but I stayed patient and more asked for them to behave rather than demand. I focused on saying, "Let's remember our class rules, guys" in an almost sing-songy voice. It helped me a lot because it didn't add any mental stress or exhaustion at the end of the day.
This weeks goal: Read my scriptures every day for personal scripture study and family scripture study.
What Weekly Focus Is
I decided to call it Weekly Focus because it could be a wish, a goal, a mentality, a plan, anything really that you want to focus on for the week. It is the driving force of that week and you only need one.
How to Participate
Each week on Monday, write a post about your weekly focus. Include the Weekly Focus button at the bottom of this page. Review how last week's focus went. Join my link-up and visit others, leaving encouraging comments.
I feel that by focusing on only one thing, it doesn't consume your life, but you are still continually working toward improving yourself. I simply love the idea of personal "Happiness Plans," and I want to help those who would love to do their own, but are still very busy in life. This shows that we can still take control of our lives and make it what we want while still being busy bees. So, I hope you join and have fun!
That's quite the accomplishment - students can be quite... mmm, hard to deal with, sometimes! :)
