My Best Bilingual Life

Are you waiting to see results?

I feel like I'm waiting for results ALL. THE. TIME. I like to have goals I'm working toward, and every time I put in effort toward a goal, I want to see the results of that effort.

I started a new meal plan (ok, ok - it's like a diet, but I'm watching my language around that because it's supposed to be much more of a "health mindset shift") just over a week ago, and it's actually going really well. Instead of turning into a hangry monster and then cheating like crazy, I feel pretty satiated, with my cravings under control. I'm also really proud of myself for being able to make some changes, as I haven't felt like I'm as physically healthy as I'd like to be for a few years now. Needless to say, I'm eager - excited - to see some positive results!

I know exactly what kind of results I want from this plan, too.

I make sure my language students know exactly what results they want from our time together, too.
