Daily goals, motivation and check in

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope

I really should've added to my list:

- accept failure to meet any of the goals as an opportunity to try again next time, rather than letting it detract from the remaining goals :smileytongue

Currently trying not to get down in the dumps about only meeting 1 work goal rather than 2. Sure it's disappointing but there is NO reason why that should disrupt my entire evening. That message should hopefully kick in soon and help me complete this goal instead

HAPPY LITTLE VEGEMITES!

I did 2 loads washing (hung out), mending, dishes, went for walk, rang mumdad, took call from friend, rearranged lounge room.

Can't brag about house full of kids, being a carer (accept for dog & 4+ alters & distant parents), study or lots of work, but am doing shop shift in the morning & some online research. Nothing big. Impressed with those who do. xox

Thanks @Teej, iI hear you 🙂

Hi @Former-Member

You would be great working in the area of mental health. With your life experience, knowledge, perseverance and compassion you will help so many. You will land that job when you are ready my friend - have no doubt!!

I do hope I feel like you do when I move house. A peaceful environment for me is very important for my long term well being (long story). At the moment the vendor is asking too much for his property and no one else has put in a higher offer than us. But we won't meet what he wants (way over market value - this happens with water front properties a lot). So it's a waiting game. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

It is important to know that someone we trust is nearby in case of an emergency. This was vital for me when healing and still is today. No one can really do it alone I feel, regardless of how strong. We all need help at times. So glad your best friend is nearby.

I feel my daughter will get there one day and she will then realise what she put us through and feel sorry. Sometimes I could strangle her, but other times I feel for her so much and the darkness she battles. We all know the pain that incurs.

I am so happy for you @Former-Member. You will feel the stress at times as your workload and responsibilities are huge (I can relate), but I also know you will succeed as you have the will, the heart and what it takes. Hugs 💕🌹

hello @TheVorticon & all others

have to agree with the latest whimsical term of "mindfulness"

every time I find myself on the verge of saying that I have to be mindful of I stop and change it to something else.

have same feelings about "embrace, collaborate even awareness jars the list goes on" corporation jargon

I prefer I am noticing or picking up on old fashioned but real.

hello @Former-Member & all

your children will have ambivalent feelings no different to your own

the love will always be there

what is a more capable mum? gosh I would have failed from day 1

do you mean the american dream?

mum is mum regardless of differences

we mums who have long term symptoms of a mental illness are so self-judgemental, so harsh on ourselves.

I can tell you from reading your words, reading between the lines, feeling the sheer enormity of your love you are the best mum they could have because they are yours and you are their's.

I just need to read what I have told you and try to believe in the very same myself

sending you love Teej, you spread so much yourself

you are doing so well am proud of you my friend xxxx

wise words @Former-Member need to do some of that thinking too... but its hard.

Just wondering if anyone has seen my motivation anywhere.. been missing for a while, not really sure what it looks like... would offer a reward of sharing it if its found.. Its probably under a rock somewhere or digging a tunnel through to china.

If you find my motivation could you check if hope is there with it please.

i have so much to do and cant seem to get going on anything.

thanks
