The continuation of Chapter..

Chapter 4 Confidence Building and Goal Setting.
This Chapter to me is very important because it sheds light on self esteem in individuals. Many students struggle with self image and self confidence which pushes them to feel like an outcast. I for one have always maintained very high confidence, yet that is not alway a good thing because some may mistake my confidence for being concieted. Anyway, having good self esteem with help with having a posotive mind set which allows you to accomplish alot more obsticles. One thing I hate seeing is when my friends get bothered by what others might say about him/her because honestly who cares what other people think of you, if your happy then they don't matter. Another part of chapter 4 says to accept the small success which to me means bigger is not better and that people need to stop taking things for granted are start appreciating the smaller things in life, and yes the smaller things are important to. The last thing I'm going to talk about in this Chapter is Goal Setting. Goal Setting is very important if you have a goal then you always have something to reach, always have something to keep you inline, never let someone tell you that you can't reach your goal because only you alone can make that decision.

Chapter 5
Minimizing and Managing Stress
Stress Aka the excuse for most peoples break outs
Before today I thought stress could only be a negative emotion but after reading chapter 4 i realized that stress can also be positive. Positive stress can actually motivate you to work harder and get the things you want. Along with stress comes stress management which basically informs you that intimes of stress to do some excercising or just something physical. In doing thing you with relieve some of the stress because come on basically every once inwhile you just gotta get your anger out and working out is a good way to do it. Another thing you need to make sure you do is get enough sleep and last but not least take time for your self. Examples: Get a massage, Get your nails done, or just something that is for you. It's your "ME TIME"

Chapter 6
Multi-Sensory
Chapter 6 was not my favorite I didn't find myself connecting with it at all and I actually found it extremely boring. I did realize I am a visual learner though but I already knew that. But others who do not know what type of learner they are should take the quiz because it will help them in there learning process further down the road.

I am still completely lost on how to look at other people sites so I will probably need a manuel to figure it out.
Oh but I loved Laurens Blog!!!!!!!
