Daily goals, motivation and check in

Daily goals, motivation and check in

I'm starting this discussion as a place where we can set our goals daily, help motivate each other to do them and then check in with how we went. It's a place to celebrate when we achieve them or just sit with each other if we didnt and are feeling down about it. Hopefully with encouragement and support from each other we'll tick lots of boxes for our daily goals and feel good about it. Please join in. 😊

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

@Former-Member, did you 'clean bedding' ? Sounds like you were quite busy anyway.

@oceangirl, well done with healthy eating, gym & getting your BP down. I have been eating much healthier too and lost 5kg so maybe my Dr will be pleased too.

@Gilgamesh, my goodness, I'm lost for words, you're right up the top their with physical activity and health goals. Wow! Me thinks i'm gonna learn a lot watching your progress. But do pace yourself, you're pretty good already. Keep this up and you'll be out there with the likes of @Faith-and-Hope WH, balance is the key. Glad you're here. Are you happy with today's achievements?

As for me, well, I've been busy resting. but currently 1/2 way working on emptying the car now its cooler (big heavy recliner my bro2 gave me). Not done too much, not feeling too good, so maybe do more tomorrow.
Thanks guys xox

@Former-Member I never do anything by halves.

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

@Former-Member great idea!

I'm checking in - had a really difficult day, glad it's over. Worried of nightmares tonight.

Tomorrow I would like to go for a short walk before work, just a little bit of me time.

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

@Gilgamesh .... please be careful .... over-exercising in a strict regime is part of what tipped my hubby into his current version of eating disorder ..... and it has taken over his life, and ours to a large degree ....

Health professionals have told me its unsustainable and is undoing his health in ways he is unaware of .... his regime still appears successful on the surface.

Can you work with your gp to help keep your balance with it ? Also please, please take one day a week as a rest day .... it is so important for balance and physical recovery, and to help prevent an e.d. setting in.

Also, please watch that you have a varied diet across the week .... having to eat exactly the same things every day, at exactly the same times, in exactly the same measure, is another warning sign ....

"All or nothing" leaves you vulnerable to an e.d., but your GP or a dietician ought to be able to help you work out a healthy program that you can run with .... and keep an eye on you for signs that you're over-doing it.

All the best ....

🌷💜

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

Hi @Former-Member 💕
Found this thread while looking around.
Thankyou for including me. 😊😙

Today my goal was to go to a new ladies support group. That was hard, because it's not near home and it gets very busy in traffic up there.
But I determined inside of me that I had to go, because I'm "stuck" in a place where I need to move on. I don't know how to get rid of suppressed anger. I don't how to live and have fun and be happy. I'm so up and down and am exhausted every day.

Anyway, I made it there and it's a 10 week course to help us over come the things I mentioned, plus many more.
I made a private counselling session with her as well.
She starts with our inner child, sometimes starting at sge 18 months.
Something is usually said or done that hurt so that we put on a mask.

Anyway. Have taken a sleep med and they work really quick. 😩😴😂 I'll have to go soon.

Not sure if I can join on here often.
I find it difficult keeping up with too many threads, thanks thought, that you thought of me. xi 💜

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

Hi @Former-Member, that's a great step, and achievable in terms of bring a 'short course' x10wks, and so relative to your circumstances. Wish I had access to something like this. Maybe you can post your WEEKLY GOALS, instead of every day, just so we know where ya at and can encourage one another to press on.
You're probably asleep now but glad ya here, was hoping you'd contribute. nighty night xox

Hiya @Faith-and-Hope, good one! 🙂

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

That's a huge achievement @Former-Member. Please don't feel obliged to be here. Only if it helps. Even if you just would like some validation for a goal achieved from time to time. Good luck with it all 💜🤗💐

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

Dont worry @Former-Member, we're all in the same boat one way or another. I'm pleased to say I finally got the heavy recliner out of the car. It has little wheels which helped a bit but getting it up my x4 steps into the house, oops dropped it, but phew - no damage. Its a solid steel base, electronic standing recliner. So pleased it still works, gotta go into city tomorrow so didn't want it in the hot car getting sun bleached or melted electronics.
