weheartit-How I Plan To Adult:

 Hey Guys,

On spiritual level, I believe that being/becoming an adult should be a top priority to help you become the person that you should be. If you scroll down below, you will see the steps that I am focusing on, to help me become more of an adult and slowly become less dependent on others.

I'm at the age where I want to take charge of my own life and make the changes that I have been yearning to take.

I want to step into the real me and own it!

Become Responsible:

I want to aim to become less dependent on others and more dependent on God. I want to build a closer relationship with him and soak in his presence! I believe God wants us to grow into our greatest selves and I can do this with him and through him <3 God is growth

You choose your own behaviour, actions and words. You also learn to become responsible.
  • Your actions shape your personality. You choose whether to be lazy/get up early everyday. You prove to yourself that you can be, in fact, accountable for your actions.

"The ability to understand yourself, your actions, how your actions affect others, and what is socially acceptable all go into the responsible decision-making process."

What Are You Responsible For?

  • My sleep.
  • My health.
  • My unemployment status.
  • Where I live.
  • Having a clean room.
  • Getting my weekly food shop.
  • Paying in my bank cheque.
  • My career.
  • What Responsibility Have Came From Your Family Members?

    • Wash the dishes when everyone is out.
    • Receive the parcels.
    • Put the laundry on the line.
  • Open the door if family member does not have a key.
  • What Responsibility Have Came From Your Friends

    • To be there for them.
    • Listen to them.
    • Be a positive support for them.

    Grief
    • I need to acknowledge that I am responsible for my own grieving! I must process my thoughts and my feelings and get the necessary support that I need!
