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. 😊

Note* Ive just started this thread again so it will be visible. Once I deleted my account it no longer shows up.

please join in again if and when needed.

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

Hi @Adge @Teej @Faith-and-Hope @Eve7 @everyone... How's all the NY resolutions kicked off? I've started using my treadmill and organising my 2021 diary (which has replaced my memory lol) Repositioned full length mirror (😞 didn't like what I saw) 😢 when did this happen? "Just killl yourself" screams the voice within. Maybe the treadmill will get me moving again.

@@ Adge you sure sound productive this last few days 😊👍 I'm impressed.

@@Teej - didn't realise you're promoted to Community Elder - well done! Stay strong. We go back a few years now, when I was 🦉awney, you've come a long way. How's all your boys? Do you have a regular go to thread? Hope your 2021 is a good one!

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

Hi @Former-Member I wrote up my 2021 (New) Diary several weeks ago - I was well-ahead of the Game, this time.

That's because the last time I did Not write up my Diary (2 years ago) - I forgot Everyone's Birthday, for the entire year. Because those Birthdays should have been written in my Diary (I forgot).

I've just Re-Watered, Re-Seeded & cleaned (a bit) my 3 Aviaries - takes me about 1 hour (it's Hot out there).

No New Year's Resolutions - Except to Marry Angelina Jolie or Scarlet Johannsen....

No just kidding - I saw that written as Someone Else's New Years Resolutions (Sounds Good to me).

Goto go shopping (Groceries) - Do Not feel like doing it...

It's too hot out there, plus there are More Sales On - Sales mean Mahem, Crowds & Chaos.

Even when I just go there to Buy my ordinary Groceries (food etc).

Why should I have to deal with that (I shouldn't) - I'm Not Benefitting from those Sales.

I cannot afford to buy any of those things on Sale (anyway)....

I really Do hate crowds - They jostle me, elbow me in the stomach, try to push me out of the way...

Just to get to their Urgent Sale item - Don't mind me, I don't exist (I'm not really here), just walk straight through me, etc, etc...

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

Oh @Adge - crowds can be bothersome. I don't like rubbing shoulders with total strangers either. If they bump into me - I kinda go into shock (well that's how I felt last time I got the trains. Buses suck more! No, hang on, planes - can't do them anymore - get panic attacks these day.
Have you tried going shopping early in the morning? And or 'click&go' (pickup) or home delivery?

In response to: Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

I never seem to find the energy to do early morning shopping (anymore) @Former-Member Yes it's easier to deal with.

Anyway, I got the shopping done.

They were playing Mary's Boy Child (Boney M) - I love that song.

Haven't heard it in ages.

So I found it, & posted it (for you & others) in the Christian thread.

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

Hi @Shaz51 I'm with Mr Shaz re shopping! Got my weekly one done this morning - always a bit of a relief.

Have been super slow today, but plodding on. In the middle of sweeping the floor and will reward myself with watching match highlights for my football team's game over night - they won 3-0 after a string of games without a win so I'm happy.

Fun thing I plan to do later is make Anzac slice

Hi @Adge , @Teej , @EOR , @Faith-and-Hope , @Schitzo, @greenpea what have you go on today? Hope all's well.

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

Hey @Teej @Shaz51 @Adge @Former-Member @Faith-and-Hope @Schitzo @Appleblossom and anyone who wants to check in today... How's it going?

I am really struggling with motivation today. I have to get through lots of stuff before I can get away for a few days.

My todo includes:

  • watering my struggling plants
  • sorting out the compost
  • ironing

What's everyone up to?

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

Hiya @frog 👋💚

Got to church this morning. We are still on restricted numbers, so it was the first time in a long time that I went. D2 was in quarantine for most of the year for her safety.

Other than that I have some shopping to do for organisational stuff, like plastic crates, baskets, etc.

Hope you get your list done. I like to pretend there is only one thing in my list, so that one, then add another item to my one-item list ..... lol. It helps to motivate me when I am low energy.

In response to: Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

Hi @Faith-and-Hope I like that idea. One thing, I get that.

I'm glad you got to church, and good luck with your current one thing!
