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

Oh my goodness @Faith-and-Hope, what a busy day! Did u really walk 2-3hrs on purpose as well? I haven't felt motivated enough to make goals but maybe I should today to get my mind off all this 'flood hype' gonna be pretty bad, worried for my son re Brisbane river and driving. So...
- usual (b'fast√pills√feed dog√chrck in her√ and news√)
- bring in chest of draws to finish sanding back & painting.
- keep sorting wardrobe
- bible study catch up
- intercessory prayer & candles
- ring someone for chat
- turn radio off
- breathe (meditate, don't stress)

How are you @Former-Member ? 💜

Hiya @Former-Member.
I've been struggling with my goals all morning. I think I need to try for the basics food, meds drink fluids cos, I've not been so good at even them lately. Might try to add shower and some gardening too. Cook tea for kids. Think that would be an ok day. And the main one for me to try to keep it together and find some kind of stable. Thanks for asking. I hope your day goes well. It sounds like a good day if you have planned. Hugs 🤗💜

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

Nothing wrong with 'survival mode' @Former-Member - the bare necessities' Sure understand that and good onya for planning to cook. My aunt use to peel the vegies early in the day & soak in water to cut back on end of day demands as that's when we get so tired and distracted too. Good plan to be in the garden - that's a 'healing' activity I find (gives energy back). Anyway, thanks for your reply and glad I got this tag - many don't come through. My day is gonna be quiet really. Walk-in together 🙂

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

@Former-Member

Get the base line written down here .... Ie breakfast, lunch, dinner.

Add in meds where they belong.

Add in glasses of water, even if it's just a 💦 symbol ..... in fact the whole thing can be symbols

Add in feeding the dog

That's your base line scaffolding for the day .... you can see that I am moving my stuff around ie lunch slipped to 4pm yestarday .... and some things are landing a ❎ or an "= to" meaning close enough.

See how you go with that.
