Mr. Steltman - Redirecting ...

Your BEST You!  

1/7/2016

 
Picture
“Today is the first blank page of a 365 page book.  Make it a good one!”
January tends to be the time to reflect and as a class we have set goals and resolutions for ourselves.   During the holidays, I saw this picture and quote and saved it for when we got back.  I think it’s really neat to see each day as the first day of 365 page book, you can alway START writing the story of your BEST you!  For you challenge this week, can you write a paragraph that describes your best you?  If you could be your best you, what would you act like, how would you speak, what sort of things would you do?
I can go first,
    If I were my best me, I would increase the time I spend focussing when I’m hanging out with Jacey and Vera.  I would make sure that I’m present when I’m with them and listening and responding to them.  My best would try to be calmer and would speak in lower tones both in class and at school.   My best me would try to SLOW DOWN, I find that I’ve been rushing a lot (since I was in grade school) and my best me would be sure to slow down my actions, my thoughts, and my physical self.  My best me starts TODAY!
Your turn! Write a paragraph that describes your best you!  We’ll share next Friday.

If I were my best me I would always take some time to spend with people I love,I would always try to be positive so the people around me can do the same.My best me is making good choices for myself so that I am happy with what I do.I will help people in need when they are having trouble and also help myself if I am stressed. I will not think badly of others or be hard on myself because we all have flaws,that we sometimes can't fix.

In this 365 page book I will always try to be my best me,some chapters will be bad,and some will be good. But no body is perfect and the mistakes are what makes us real,sometimes we have to live with the pain and just carry on.







wow that was deep

This is the 1st page of my 365 day book
Disclaimer: This is the only page I will actually be WRITING down
the other 364 days will be thoughts in my mind!


If I were my best me I would make people around me feel more joyful and confident. If I was my best me I would clean my room on a daily basis. The best me would also make reasonable decisions.

The better/best me is what I wanna be so instead of thinking of it I will do it.
My best me starts TODAY!

If I were my best me I would spend more time with my family and my friends and loved ones, I would make sure i focus on them on focus on the moment because one day I will miss the days that we had just talking and spending time together.If i was my best me i would slow down more because I always seem to rush through stuff instead of keeping my head in the moment.My best me would the type of person that would make everybody happier or just put a smile on somebody's face.My best me would the type of person that's more Confident because what's wrong with being confident!

The best me START'S TODAY it's not just up to me it's also the people around and the influences that would make a better me.To start being a better me instead of thinking about being confident and more joyful I've just got to do it.Nobody is perfect so make mistakes make friends make the most of your life.

TOOOOOOOOODLES.

The best me is when I am all hyper and happy with a big fat smile. When I am the best me I will always help around the house and not get tempted to go on my iPad or computer. I always make sure that I help my family get things done even if they aren't home to make it easier and faster so my parents don't need to do it but the main thing of helping my parents is that I can spend some family quality time all together. I like to do it because I can spend some time that I might not have the chance to do sometimes so I try and help more often.

The best me is not to get angry if I don't get my way but I have to admit I do that sometimes but I try not to and try and include everyone so they don't feel left out. If I was the person who was left out I would feel sad and hopeless so I don't want to do that to someone else.

I am going to try to be the best me everyday and make sure that I can take control of me and the best me is starting TODAY.

Page 1 of 365,
The best me:
If I was the best me I would always want to be able to to spend more time with my friends and family Because they are the most people close to me and they help me get through hard times and they always cheer me up and make me happy. I feel like most people when they get home they would just be going straight to doing homework or just go and play on there electronics Instead of being able to send time with there loved ones. The best me would make sure I always help my classmates when they are struggling with a question or Help at home like I could do the dishes instead of my sister doing it because she does a lot of things to help make sure the house is clean. And finally my best me would make sure I always put as much effort as I can in things.
Hope my best me will be me in 2016

If I was my best me I would always complete the important stuff I have everyday. Because if I don't then I would have a lot more stuff to do.

(Ex): if I have homework I have to do it the day I am free or I will get more homework that way it is going to make my homework harder for me to complete. I am going to try be my best by always trying my best completing the important stuff I have to do in my life.

My best me
page 1 / 365 , chapter 1:
If I were my best me I would be myself and live my life to the fullest, and be always and forever loving and a good daughter, friend, niece, and anything else. I would also try to spend the most time with my family, friends, and aunts, uncles, and cousins. I would also try to pay more attention to my Vovo, and Vavo because I want to be seeing the most of them before I cannot anymore, I will do that by going to see them more often and call them when I can.

My best me would be getting all my work done on time for example turning in my homework on time, getting my math done on time and getting anything else done on time also my best me would be to try my best, for example trying my best in piano, math, art and gym.

The things I would do to be my best me.

1.I would always stay on task while I am doing my school work.

2.Be nicer to my brother for example when he wants to watch a TV show and I want to watch a different TV show I will let him watch what he wants.

3.Listening to my parents all the time for example reading when they tell me to.

4.Helping others when they need help.

That is my best me.

Day 1/365 Friday January 1st 2016
(That's not the real date:)
If I was always my best self than I would always be kind to everyone, even during the times that I don't feel like being nice. I would always try my best in every sport that I played. I would never give up, even if I wanted to. My best self would never make mistakes and always do the right thing. My best self would get great grades and grow up to be prime minister of Canada, because I am perfect. Sadly I am not always perfect and we all have to learn that nobody is, but I can still try my best.
(I am still going to be prime minister!)

My best me would be someone who is calmer during soccer games. I tend to get angry at the referees and sometimes my teammates and that is just terrible. My best me would be someone who always is encouraging to my team and respectful of the sport. My best me would not give up if we were losing and would encourage my teammates to play hard and fair until the end of the game.

The best me would be caring, selfless and fun. I would never take myself to seriously, I would always be more then willing to help anyone in need. I would be more patient with my sister and understand that she is younger than me despite the fact that we are constantly mistaken for twins. The better me would shake things off if I was hurt and overcome my fears by facing them. Most importantly I would always be me, NOT someone who I am not.

The best me is when I actualy try and care.I can be really creative in art but i chose not to.If I can easly solve a qastion i take time even though I can easly finish.I realy can be a good lisener but I just don't feel well an don't like trying.Like while I am writeing my blog post right now I feel like going as fast as possible so I can move on.Thats who i can be when i am me.And the real me has 1 big spoon of sugar in the morning when no is looking so i have a big energy boost to stay awake and get ready for a great day like any other day.And I realy draw alot if I am the real me.This is me.

P.S. My New Years resalution is coming along great and i am happy with that.

My best me would never give up. I would always try my best in everything. Also if I were my best me I would be kind, helpful, and fun to play with. When I am my best me I would be patient with my family and friends. I would understand when people are having a hard time and be there to support them. I would be true to MYSELF.

My best me would be kind and helpful. My best me would think only the best of people. The best me would be a fun and caring friend. The best me would never take the easy way out and would look for a challenge. If I were my best me I would try my hardest in each and everything I do. Most importantly my best me will ALWAYS be me.

If I was the best me I would start working around my house when i'm not a sport or doing something outside with my friends. I would look to making goals and trying to finish them so I can say I made goals and I finish them. Most important is that I always try my hards because sometime in hockey practice when my team does laps I should not just give up I should try to be first everytime I do skating.

For this weeks blog I am going to write about my best ME!!!
for my best me I am going to write down a couple of things I would do and what I would act like.

For the first point of my best me is that I would help people when they help and not focus so much and block them out. what I mean by this is lets say someone needed help with something I math or art or what ever subject someone might need help in, I sometimes don't pay attention don't say anything. Like for example if someone asked me to help them and I was already done sometimes I would be talking to someone and I will not even notice them trying to ask me for help and they would just walk away That is something that I want to stop because if I am talking to someone who is already done and they are trying to ask me for help who ever they might be well the conversation can wait the person who needs help is more important.

for the second thing the best me would do is to ask for help when I need it.
what I mean by that is I am too shy if I don't understand a question or a problem in whatever subject I am too shy to ask for help.
Normally if I don't understand a problem or a question I just try and figure it out by myself even if I am so confused, so most of the time when I don't understand something for a long time I don't get the question done. The reason I am so shy to ask for help is because I feel embarrassed I feel dumb and that I am not smart because everybody else is getting it.
This is something that I really want to stop because if I don't ask for help when I need it how am I going to understand what to do and learn the problem.
The third thing that the best me would do is don't get distracted by what other people are doing and focus on what I need to do and my work.
sometimes I feel myself getting distracted by what other people are doing and not what I am doing. Whether it is in sports or school I need to focus on what I am doing instead of what other people around me are doing.
This something that I REALLY want to stop because if I am focusing on what other people are doing whether it is in sports or baseball how am I going to get my work done and how am I going to learn to play sports better.
The last but certainly not least thing the best me would do is make sure everybody is happy, and make sure if someone is down get them back up because the happier the people the better the day.
That is the things my best me would do and my best me stats TODAY!!

There is a few things that would make me the best me.

1. I would be more confident in what I do, the perfect me wouldn't always second guess myself and never be sure the perfect me would just do it... I would think things through but don't second guess what I'm doing, if I started it I have to finish it.

2. The second thing the perfect me would do is a little connected to the first one but it is think things through.
The perfect me would think things through because sometimes I do something and then I after I IMMEDIATELY regret it so the perfect me would always think things through.

If I were my best me I would spend some time with my sister, because most time she asks me to play with her, I say: no sorry I have other things to do. Also, my best me would try to be faster and louder when I am reading. I would try something new because my dad asked me if I wanted to try snow board? I all ways said no it was too hard!
My best me would all ways stay happy!! :)

If I where the best me I would try my best not to get distracted. Also if I where the best me I could be I would try to help others more often. I would most likely try to be the best student I can be I would do my homework when it first came out so it was over with and I had a free week. Finely if I was my best self I would try to get along with more people then I already do

If I were the best me, I would try to listen as much as I could. Also, if 2016 WAS a 365 page book, I could write words, draw pictures, and when I am finally finished my 365 page book, I would just write another one for 2017. Also, if I was my best self for a long time, my parents could double my allowance! ;)
