write a SMART GOAL related to something in your lifestyle assessment or related to one of the pillars of well-being.

A:I need to become more physically fit and eat healthier. As university started, and the work load is quite high, my time at the gym has decreased significantly, and all the junk food I've eaten during my overseas holiday is being shown on my belly.
Specific: I want to drop down my weight by 5kg by the end of semester, and also drop down body fat by around 3%. Increase my level of physical activity to at least 1 hour per day; take walks instead of driving, always taking stairs instead of elevator. Cooking my own healthy food every day, avoid junk food and processed food at all times, cut down carbohydrate intake.

Measurable: Weigh myself week, and see how the progress goes, and also use a body fat caliper to measure my body fat %. Make sure to cook at least 3 days’ worth of food in advance. So when I don’t have time to cook, I can just microwave the leftovers.
Attractive: change up my work out every 4 weeks so I won’t get bored of it; put some awesome music in my phone, and listen to it while working out. Music can also prevent any distractions that might be around you. Look for awesome, interesting and healthy recipes online, and try them out. Can also look for healthy dessert options on internet and try them out, so I don’t crave too much for sugar.
Realistic: Buying all the grocery for myself, and also trying to buy organic and raw foods, so when I cook them, I know what I put inside my food.
Timely: Time frame is by the end of semester, which is around June 25th, about 4 months from now.

Task 6:
Present a 350-400 word summary on one of the following areas:
Include your results from your learning styles questionnaire. What have you learnt about yourself and your preferred learning style/s? How does this influence your approach to learning? How can you develop your learning style in your less dominant areas? Be specific and detailed with the strategies you will utilize

A:I’m primarily a theorist learner, with a total score of 15. The description of a theorist learner is very similar to how I learn. I like to find out the theories behind how things work, and I like to observe how things work. I like to solve problems logically and with a step by step approach, whenever I’m doing a science practical, I’d like to follow the instructions very carefully, and try to avoid any errors. This made me realise that I learn best when an instruction is given step by step, in a logical order and the objective is clear. I also like to analyse the underlying principle and theories of experiments. My new approach to learning will include avoiding situation involving emotions and feelings, avoiding unstructured activities, where ambiguity and uncertainty is high.
To become a better reflector learner, I need to learn to observe/listen more carefully. Try to review what has happened, and reflect upon it, and also produce thorough analysis and reports.
