Goals Assignment

1) Reflection

Yes, there have been times where I have felt like that, when I wasn't sure what to do, mostly I feel this way when i am overwhelmed.there have been times where i have made goals that i didnt meet, for example I once made a goal to start brushing my teeth consistently and daily, but failed. It made me feel very bad and disappointed in myself. However there have been times where I have achieved a goal I set for myself.
