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. 😊

Now @Former-Member, is that a very nice thing to say about yourself? Why not a 'beached mermaid' or 'anget fish' or 'godess' I was chided by my psych Tues for putting myself down. They say its the first of 10 steps to achieve Self-Compassion - never put yourself down. So, seems both of us need to work on that. xox
@TAB, hope your starting to regenerate a bit, emotionally as well as physically. xox
Oh, sorry I didn't post goals today, kinda lost the plot bit did get mail off and do dishes.

Hey sisters... 🙂 friendly waves. 
Motivation: I am starting on Monday to write my novel. I have a goal of 60,000 words by end of June. That is 750 words a day (allowing 3 hours of writing x 5 days a week). No editing until I reach my writing goal and end.
I have lost some goodly amounts of padding in the past 5 weeks by changing the way I eat and feeling better for it.
I have also recently revisited and am practising mindfulness (in the way of buddhist teacher Thich Naht Hanh) and am feeling the benefits of that. I visited my Mum yesterday in her Nursing Home and despite her acting out, when I drove home I was able to LET IT GO. New for me. Turning her arrows into flowers in my mind helped.
I hope everyone is as well as they can be.
