Daily goals, motivation and check in

well done @eudemonism , that's a lot of work & energy.

I'm stuck in my pj's today, finding it hard to get going.

Goals for today

- shower & get dressed

- do a job search & research for job application

- buy some groceries

Goal for the day, vacume the rumpus room and do 5min skipping then meditation before bed.

@BryanaCampI've got routines i go through everyday (It's good to have the right/good/best options available every morning *plus have what it takes to follow through with them and get desired results).. -being packed up in bed by mid afternoon because I'm completely exhausted and overwhelmed is one activity in my routine... i usually come good after some quiet time...

(I usually get some positive-life giving activities done in the morning - or afternoon if i have to...) but yea... quite often I'm feeling exhausted and overwhelmed by mid afternoon... plus it's not just a case of rest/relax/have a snooze... it's a case of exhausted and overwhelmed + dealing with akathisia... akathisia is physical and mental restlessness, irritability...

Just managing this scenario on a daily basis without having a major episode/meltdown is an achievment... plus I'm trying to get away from reaching out for professionals help as often as i do... basically because I'm not real proud of it...

well done @eudemonism , sounds like you work very hard everyday to take care of your wellbeing.

Today I've showered & got dressed, aim to

- go for a hike

- get petrol & healthy groceries

- eat healthy

- brush teeth

Yesterday I went for a 10 km hike. Yay! Munched out on sugar afterwards but at least I did the hike.

Today I,

- got up, showered, dressed and make-upped

- did a job interview to the best of my abilities, fingers crossed!

- taking a well-deserved rest post-interview

Hi gang, how are you going @Teej @eudemonism @Zaphod @Shaz51 @Former-Member ?

I've had a big, stressful day today. There's a huge pile of dishes to do but I'm way to tired so that's a goal for tomorrow. Also wanting to do some exercise, maybe go for a hike tomorrow, something healthy to give my mind a break.

Hope everyone is well, have a good sleep tonight

Hi @eudemonism and @BryanaCamp .

Go you! 10km hike sounds awesome. Its a healthy practice (for me that i'm learning anyway) to recognise when things are too much for the day (washing dishes or for me vacuming) and setting them again for the next day. I got the vacuming done eventually after a few days.

I need to develop and practice more skills around knowing who and when to socialise with otherwise i end up agreeing to do more with people that i'm unable to folliw through with. Ohwell, onwards and upwards.

Todays goals

1. Get Centrelink sorted (achieved)

2. Meditate (achieved - 15min)

3. Laundry load

4. No excercise today - still sore from work yesterday

5. Clean and tidy up a bit

6. Do homework therapist gave me to the best of my ability.

hi @eudemonism , I never, ever get any visitors. I have to work really hard on my friendships and generally arrange to go out with friends & have lunch or a drink or something. I rarely go to people's houses. I totally understand about feeling used by people. I have to be really careful as I can easily get drawn in. You are right, it's important to give friends space and not ask too much of them but I have one friend in particular who really never, ever has time for me & I'm sick of it as I've given her so much time in the past.

hi @Zaphod well done on your goals, great work! Do you have a job? I'm still unemployed but trying hard to get some employment - it's exhausting looking & applying. I need a rest from it today.

Today's goal

- go for a hike in the bush, will see it I have the energy to do the long cirsuit or the short one.

Hope you have a lovely day today

@BryanaCampomg on the topic of friendship/relationship issues... omg... it's been at the centre of everything stressful and everything pleasant in my life for such along time now...

I struggle with initiative and ques... i know I'm having a que to take action for myself... automatically it will pop into mind... but the thing is-i just ain't got the initiative to follow through with it... and I'll start analysing pros and cons... the costs and benefits... the potential possibilities... until I'm in the middle of analysis paralysis...

With myself I'm finding that I've got plenty of spare time on my hands... sitting around home... doing nothing... no energy or motivation... no options to do anything really...
