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. 😊

Hi Shaz51, Just a sprinkle of cinnamon on top of plain yoghourt....if you like it. Plain yoghourt is good for increasing beneficial gut bacteria (my DR). Cinnamon is my additive but I don't know it's properties...it smells and tastes nice.

Is there a Walking with Friends group in your area? We have one. I don't walk with them but join them for coffee or a smoothee after their walk once a week. Ours is a great encouraging group frequented by about 50% of new people to our area. Conversation can be as personal or general as anyone is comfortable. It is an incentive to turn up.

@earth .... I believe cinnamon has a similar function to insulin conduction in the body and supports insulin function by lowering blood sugar levels ....amongst other things.

I'm not an expert and I am happy to be corrected, but all these sorts of spices (Tumeric, nutmeg, Ceyenne pepper, ginger, etc) spices have been a significant part of the diet across the European continent for thousands of years, and not by accident.

Well done @Former-Member ..... ❣

It's great that you achieved those goals ..

Are you referring to the big-smile emoji that @Shaz51 uses as the "laughing" that you are referring to @Former-Member .... or have I missed something else ?

I think it is just that @Shaz51 likes how happy that emoji is, rather that using it to represent a laugh ....

Am I reading that right @Former-Member @Shaz51 ?

❤️

Thanks Faith-and-Hope. I was motivated to google cinnamon properties and came across Medical News Today article on Cinnamon which is worth reading. I definitely will continue using it on my yoghourt.

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

Recovery day here and so far all I've done is drink coffee. Feeling wobbly about setting any goals today but here goes (with the disclaimer that I might get very few of them done):

  • breakfast
  • meds
  • make bed
  • dress
  • go to shopping centre for fruit and veg (highly doubtful)
  • make green smoothie
  • clean kitchen
  • ring friend tonight for a chat
  • forum
  • video making

Best wishes to all on anything good you hope to do today.
