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

Good morning, @Former-Member. So great you are getting to meet the Phams people. I've had a support worker through that scheme for over a year and it has helped me. I'll really miss my support worker when it finishes. You tend to get to know each other pretty well and, for me, it's been like having an extra friend. Hope the day unfolds well for you.

That sounds really positive @Mazarita! Is yours outreach based? I was under the impression that it would be but I was asked to go in to the office. I guess I'll find out soon. Crossing my fingers that I click with the worker - it's so hit and miss sometimes!

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

@Former-Member, yes, Phams worker comes here or we meet somewhere out, like a shopping centre or cafe. I've only been to the office once in over a year, for a workshop that was being held there. I know what you mean about hoping you click. I've had two workers over the time I've been with the program. I've been lucky that both have been great in different ways.

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

Hi all

finally got myself together to come back on.

My goal today is to survive. I've not slept at all so I'm not expecting much.

I think I should try to eat, find some ways of relaxing maybe even try some zentangles again because I'm a little wound up and breathe. I had a shower at 3:00 am trying to find ways to relax and sleep. It didn't work but at least I can tick it off my list.

Hugs to all. I hope you are achieving your goals or are at peace if you're not.

💜🤗

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

Okay ... taking a breather from my wardrobe sorting .... but I am getting somewhere, and have set aside between my walk and my hairdressing appointment to get on top of this ..... ✅

I don't mind everything laid out neatly around the room where I can see it .... 😊✅ .... but that's not really the go when WH is here ....

Made my bed .... properly .... not just a flick and a promise .... ✅ .... still just thinking about washing the sheets but thinkin' too hard till I've got more clutter control happening around the house generally .... bearing in mind that baby dragons co-habit the place .....

Had breakfast out this this morning, by myself, choosing the least expensive, most self-nourishing thing I could find .... avocado on whole grain toast with mushrooms and roquette lettuce ... that's got me set for the day .... can just grab snacks like the bd's do till dinner time, which might be pizza tonight .... ✅

Having treated myself to breakfast I am feeling more inclined to tackle my room. The communal parts of the house have been unearthed and are looking okay .... livable .... ✅

Must remember to drink more water .... gonna stick a glass in the middle of what I am doing so I can see it and refill it every time it's empty ....

How's everybody else going ?

@Former-Member hope you found a way of relaxing. Zentagles are a huge fave of mine 🙂

Go @Faith-and-Hope! Sounds like a busy and productive day full of really positive things!

I mowed and then got all ambitious and pulled out the whipper snipper. I went half way around the yard and it died on me. I tried for ages to fix it but I can't. Majorly peeved about it but I didn't chuck a tanty so I'll call it a win 😉 I also went to the phams appointment and feel pretty good after it. It sounds awesome and perfect for where I am at the moment. Can't shake the little "why bother" and "whats the point" monsters completely but they're a little quieter than usual so that's a bonus too.

Half an hour until I pick up the little people so I'm enjoying a cuppa at the moment. This afternoon i want to organise my desk which has become a jumbled mess of paperwork and kids drawings and tonight I'll try tackling that crochet project I think.

Tired but feeling ok 🙂

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

Thanks everyone for your encouragement and kind thoughts yesterday. @Former-Member @Former-Member @Former-Member @Mazarita @Shaz51 @Zoe7 @TAB @Former-Member @Former-Member @Faith-and-Hope

Today my goal is just to make it through the day without any more panic attacks, and to make tomorrow a better day than today.

I hope everyone else's day is treating them well?

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

Hi @Former-Member. I'm sorry today has been tough. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Can you make one little nice goal that you can tick and feel like today was ok. I'm thinking of having a mindful cup of tea where you try to savour it. Sorry if your not able to do that though. There are days I can't either even do that. Sending hugs 💜🤗
