1ANALYSIS OF PERSONAL GOALS
Goal 1: Self –Care:
My goal regarding personal care had been to build or maintain physical fitness, for which
my objectives had been to eat healthy food and having a total of three meals per day which
would contain all important nutrients like protein carbohydrates and other micro nutrients.
Though the challenge had been not to skip meals and choose unhealthy food as an option, I
managed to pack my lunch and not opt to buy lunch outside. Self motivation also had been a
challenge but my strength had been controlling the cravings.
To obtain better productivity and concentration I made alterations in my sleeping habits
and maintained a schedule where my objective had been to wake up early in the morning and
complete 8 hours of sleep every day. Initially it had been difficult since I remain distracted
during the bed time but being a person of exercise and yoga it has helped me to achieve this goal
without much effort.
Reduction of stress being another personal goal, had been not easy because I am weak at
managing time and often I have been missing on my yoga and relaxation techniques which have
been my objectives. I aim to be more conscious and manage the time effectively since I have a
free membership at Peterborough Wellness Centre.

I have been able to build self confidence and become worldlier because I am a social
person and can hang out with my friends since I have a proper schedule to complete the tasks,
even though I live far away from them.
Goal 2: Self Growth:
Overcoming the frustration has been a bit difficult on my part since I do not manage my
time effectively which leads to incomplete assignments. This builds in negativity in my attitude
even when I have proper calendar dates for scheduling the assignments. However I aim to take
help from friends and punish myself to repeat all the exercises till I overcome the frustration.
For managing all problems in a positive way I would move out of my comfort zone and
develop my self-esteem. Inspirational quotes and taking challenges may help but when I am put
into some unforeseen circumstance, I lack the confidence. However I aim to be positive by
taking help from others and improving my attitude.
To build relationships and connections with people requires proper communicative skills,
which I lack at. I would try to make eye contact with the people during the conversations and try

to overcome the shyness and hesitation. I will try to improve my body language and speaking
skills.
To reduce extra tension and worries I will try to procrastinate less and schedule my
studies. Since I have my strength of properly organizing tasks according to the calendar dates, I
try to remain away from the distractions and diversions and try to complete the tasks in time so
that there is less tension.
Goal 3: Professional knowledge:
To deal with FASD children, I need to be more aware of the physical disabilities of the
children by reading articles. Since it is challenging to go and interact with each one of them, I
would make use of the online sources to know more of it.
I am good at teaching the children to manage their anger issues , since I enjoy involving
them in activities such as Self-Behavior Management programs. I will further try to involve them
in more interesting activities and also interact with them to know their issues and reasons of their
anger.

In order to educate the children about physical changes in body I need to have a greater
knowledge about the transition of the body. Even though I have less time to spare, I will try more
to know about them from the library sources. I also aim to inquire the youth and other offices.
To learn how about the use of different resources and tools for the benefit of the children
and youth, I aim to search more data using devices and assets , which is my strength. I want to
apply them into training, although I do not have the inspiration to look through the new data
every week. I also want to modify the strategy and involve the friends into effective discussion
so that the ideas and the concepts can be shared.
Goal 4: Professional skill:
Becoming more assertive with children and youth is difficult since I have not much
knowledge about the circumstances. But I aim to understand the conditions that the children are

in and refer them to counsel or any educator. I am always aware of situations and this can be of a
great help in such professional situations.
To solve the problems of children and help them to deal with different issues of life, I aim
to make use of my experience and counseling skills. I will gain more help from my supervisors
and implement them upon the youth. Researching articles about the counseling strategies can
help me.
Learning how can to write a professional case note is one of my professional goals for
which I need to develop confidence and practice writing notes under the observation of my
supervisor. Even though I am not into meetings with the clients always, but I will practice more
of it so that asking questions and getting the information is not a big problem.
Lastly, to build a healthy relationship is extremely important in professional career and
for this I need to be more active with the children. My strength is that I have foundation
information on games and exercises which I can out into use. Even though I have no great
experience in this field, I will examine the exercises that can be done inside a study hall. I will
take help from my teachers and use supports such as the game stuffs and the computers. I will
make alterations in my plan and schedule proper exercises for the children so that it does not
affect their study hours. Interacting with them will help me to build relationships with them.
However this has not been possible due to the recent outbreak of Corona virus. The schools are
closed in Ontario and the teachers have been on strikes.
