Well, the Spring 2012 semester has started! Starting a class each semester always provides me with a little anxiety with worries that my memory will not hold up, I won't be able to balance work and school, etc. As the years have gone by I am learning to manage it and not be as stressed as I used to in the first few years of going back to school after the brain surgery.
This semester provides an interesting challenge from the start. My class is Behavior Modification which I am quite excited about for both personal and professional reasons. I think it will help me with my patients on a daily basis at the hospital, and down the road as I pursue the direction of neuro rehab.
The project for the class is to change a personal behavior - whether to decrease or increase. What have I chosen? To increase the use of my exercise bike!!!! This means I have to stop using it as a place to hang my clothes!!! :)
Looking forward to this challenge! I want it to be more than just a project. Praying it will be a long term change of positive direction for me and my health!
