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. 😊

Progress report: have now cleaned the ensuite vanity. Got slowed down for a while there by interstate phone calls, one to my mum and one to my oldest friend. Mum is coming up to visit in May and she and I are trying to entice my friend to come up at the same time and share the beachfront holiday apartment I've organised for mum. Needed to speak to them both about that. It's looking good on getting to see my friend too! That's a tick even if it took up cleaning time! 
Edit: Oh, and I have taken down the rubbish now too.

Hi all, @Faith-and-Hope @TAB @Former-Member @Mazarita @TheVorticon @Zoe7
Just found this thread, a great idea. Goals, motivation and check-in - perfect.
My goals for today:
1. Start the morning with some calming breathing in an effort to reduce current high anxiety
2. Force myself out the door this morning to visit a nursing home where I volunteer weekly
3. Make time for an afternoon nap - the only sleep I manage to get as nights have been impossible
4. Do one of the following to help relax - sudoku, crosswords, poetry, watch sport, read a trashy novel
5. NOT stress out about my psych appointment tomorrow
6. Get an early night. Yeah I know, it never works. But I can try. This is all about goals, right?
My motivation: So I can shake off this latest ptsd episode and get back to living some sort of life.
I hope everyone else here has a good day. Kind thoughts to you all.

Good morning, @Former-Member and all,
Tomorrow, body corp is coming in to our rental flat for pest inspection/treatment. These are the urgent things that need doing today:
I hope that's all because it's way more than I usually get done in a day!
Sending good vibes to all for the day.

Oh goodness @Mazarita, you do have a busy day ahead of you.
I really hope you get to have that walk on the beach, it will help set you up for the rest of the day, release some tension and bring some happy calming thoughts your way.
All the best.

Hi @Former-Member, calm breathing as a start to the day sounds wise when feeling anxious. Getting out of the home is a good idea too. Sounds like a well thought-out plan for the day. 🙂
@Kurra, good morning, hope you slept well last night. How are you feeling today? I hope you get a slow, healing day.
I'm feeling apprehensive about my day, because everything on my list (and more) really has to be done today. Much of it is left over from what I didn't get to yesterday. Companion (who is also my unofficial part-time carer) is away interstate, which makes this sudden pest inspection/treatment bad timing. Trying not to stress. Yes, I think the beach walk will be good, though it is likely to involve some recovery time. I have physical health issues that take it out of me on these walks, wonderful as they are in other ways. Ah well, one step after another today and hopefully I'll get there (or close enough).
