What emotions are hindering your success?

I tend to worry sometimes as i may fail at the task/s i feel as so if i put in 100% then sometimes i feel like i am not good at 100% as i feel like i have not done enough but if i get a pass mark then it will come at a surprise for me

What emotions do you need to work on and why?

I need to work on my angry side cause its not very nice and my partner Lesa gets scared but i am getting the help i need to get and i really wanna make things great for us. I also suffer from mental illness its called depression but i get on top of it each day to bring out a great outcome and i use lime scooters to clear my head.

What emotions can you access to help you in this situation?

By taking deep breaths and leaving the situation to prevent it from getting worse and once chilled out go back and talk things without getting heated and talk calmly to resolve the issue in hand if its more than 1 or 2 ideas then you can work on it if needs be.

What actions are you going to take TODAY to start?

i will be getting all the help i need with alcohol and anger management AS i believe getting help and taking all the steps is in order to make things better again and having an outcome is very ideal and i will know how to get better again and putting solutions into place will help. and if i take the small steps then i will know where to start and go back look over it.

What emotions do you feel that are involved in your situation/s

i feel still upset what has happened but hopefully its all finished soon rather then later and i have made some good work on what the courts have set out for me to be done. Once this is all cleared up i will be much happier.

Describe a situation where emotions were involved and you were unhappy embarrassed ashamed regretful with the outcome what might you have done differently

I have been ashamed what i did to my partner as it was a wrong thing to do and i have taken full responsibility for my actions and next time i will leave it and not make things worse

Your Learning Style

My learning style is hands on approach i enjoy being hands on as it keeps me busy and i tend to learn more then writing things out but i enjoy writing as i will have a clear understanding on what needs to be done.

When i am hands on it makes it easy to fix a mistake as you can learn from a mistake but if i am writing it out i can easily make the mistake but i would not know that i made it.

How to i put strategies into place i would ask question/s so hopefully i can understand what is required in the task/s but i am always learning how to work things out which is good i can ask the question it may not be the right question in hand but i might be the wrong answer i was looking for so then i would search for the appropriated question to gain the real answer.

As I have a learning disability called Dispraxier it takes me a while to learn new skills and everyday skills for example an every day task for me would be doing my shoe laces as I can not process the fundamentals of doing my laces as I find that very challenging and hard even tho it might look easy.

Barriers to achieve your learning goals (3)

1. I will try my best to work around my tasks and if i get stuck i will ask for help
2. If i get a task/s i will try my best to hand it in time
3. If i can achieve this then i know i can do my best

Over these last few weeks i have slowly gotten to know my class mates and i have found the learning experience easy but the hard stuff now kicks in and i think i am going to struggle but i can only do my best for this class as i have never had to write so many things since high school and if i get the right help then hopefully i will understand what needs to be done as i will see student success for help or ask one of my class mates i am sure they can help me out and show me what to do that needs to be done and i will trying my best to succeed in this course.

So far i am really enjoying the class and learning heaps and different styles of context and how to word things we had Dr Lesley Gill i found her really inspiring and how she managed her time very well with her studies and personal life it goes to show you can do much if you balance it out the right way.

As the weeks go by Craig and Caryn they have been really good and very supportive with questions and answers and i am doing my best.

You sometimes have a strong drive for completing important tasks, but you will often not be driven if you do not feel the task is important enough. You actively seek out activities that will make you happy, including parties, hanging out with family and friends or even thrill seeking through sports etc… You also tend to be fairly impulsive.

You are very motivated by seeking reward for your behaviour. The offer of a reward (such as a promotion for working hard or winning a bet) will keep you motivated to complete difficult activities.

ou are motivated to avoid things that you don’t like. This can sometimes mean trying to avoid activities you don’t enjoy, or attempting to escape punishment or pain. Sometimes you feel nervous.

Not a good variety of questions. May as well have asked are you dead or alive. Questions seem to already have an outcome in mind. Questions like do you enjoy working with your hands? Do you enjoy being around people or are you a loner? Are you a problem solver? Are you more oriented to solving other people’s problems or do you prefer solving non-people oriented problems? Do you tend to see things in terms of black or white, right or wrong, yes or no or do you see things on a sliding scale of grey

I am always looking to know more about myself and my personal habits and behavior. What I did not agree with is I am not impulsive just the opposite and patient and reliable

At the end i was surprised how they access the marking criteria and i am always looking for ways to improve with goal settings and if i work towards a goal/s i may achieve it down the track as the saying goes nothing is impossible.

Goal setting is very impressive a few years a back in 2014 i was ranked 25TH in the country but my original goal was to make the top 50 but i was rather happy to make the top 30 as my chosen sport is ten pin bowling.

When i first started i was ranked 79TH so its a huge leap and achieving that goal was really awesome how i put my mind to it and i worked hard and hard work does pay

Time management

I am always early and I do not like being late and i always turn up half and hour early or 45 minutes so I can get things done or ask the right questions to gain the right answers. If i am late i could miss out on asking or hearing vital information in the class and a saying i use is if you are on time you are late and if your late you are late. It is best to turn up early, that way you can you plan out what needs to be done or check with the lecturer when your work is or due or simply catch up on work you have missed.

When you are early it shows that you are are ready to go and it’s great to show employers you have good time management skills because if you’re late it can put a damper on your day and miss the important stuff. If you are late you might have a kid who is sick or car troubles or whatever the issue might be and they will understand. It is best to be honest than make some excuse why you are late for that.

I have been late a few times but i either rang ahead or texted stating why i am going to be late. If i need to catch up on a few things then i’ll stay behind and work or see what needs to be done about this. Most employers i have work for have been understanding due to my unforeseen circumstances

I have tips for people who are late. Setting Goals, that way you can set a goal for an example you could try set your alarm clock half an hour earlier or if your going by car use a different route to get to work/study,

While it’s a long list of skills, it’s not necessary for you to try to work on them all at once. Just pick one or two, work on it, pick a couple more, and so on. For example, prioritization. The ability to prioritize is one of the most important time management skills you can have.

Why?

Because if you aren’t doing what’s important, it doesn’t matter how efficient you are doing your unimportant task – you are still wasting your time.

Make sure you know what your most important tasks are at your job, what your goals are for your life, career, work, relationships, etc., and what your priorities are in life.

Then, make sure you work towards these.

I will stay positive even if i find it challenging

because i don’t believe in giving up easy and if i get stuck or unsure on something i will ask the question whether its right or wrong and then i can hopefully i will understand but if not i will keep asking the same question till i will get a clear picture and outcome to resolve the issue or question.

Asking the wrong question can lead to the correct answer as there is no right or wrong answers

and if i am finding it hard i will try my best to challenge myself and keep on pushing till i am feeling positive on the outcome will be as i don’t believe in giving up easily as i really want to try my best in this course and hopefully pass and i will stay positive even if i fail but if i learn from my mistakes hopefully i can get the pass mark that is required for a certain paper or project that is handed to me or working in a group .

I will seek relevance and meaning in what i hear and see. I will work to make this meaningful to me.

This means if i need to seek an answer or a question i will ask the right or wrong questions and because someone will correct me if i am wrong then i can take on there point of views and hopefully it will provide a outcome we can agree on and it will be near perfect to bring out the outcome. And i seeking i will ask for a meaning and hopefully put it too good use and i will make a meaningful outcome and seek the right outcome to get the answers and help others out what they need to hear and see what they need to say

I will think about how to adapt or modify new ideas in my context

Having new ideas can be so very interesting as everyone has a different point of view and we can sometimes we might have the same idea/s I can work with new idea or ideas and modify my ideas can be easier or harder depends how you look at the context and working as a team can help the new idea to make it a little bit easier as everyone loves a great idea or loves hearing about an old idea.

Working on a new idea or learning how to adapt new ideas it is fun cause you all have different ideas to improve on the soultion as there is no bad ideas everyone will adapt there ideas to make one great idea or provide the details and information on a great outcome so we can agree on the same context if it needs to be modify we can do that at the same time and the end we can finally agree to the terms we have set out and have a great outlook on what we have achieved on the topic of the the subject we have set out to do
