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.

@frog Yay, it's up!!!!!! All my curtain rails are now up. It's taken 15 mths but, good things come to them that wait, or something like that. Started at 6am, lots of umms and ahhhhs, sits and coffee breaks. Good I'm not building a house eh. How's your cooking sweeping and ironing going????

Thanks @frog

Not as busy as yours. Low key for now. Leg a lamb later.

Just found a beautiful painting of a flower named after a parrot by Anneke Janszen.

So pleased to be able to mix my 2 obssessions!

Wow @Shaz51 that's quite a productive day! Enjoy your dinner.

@Appleblossom Beautiful painting. Enjoy your dinner too!

@Maggie go you! Ums, ahs, sits and coffee breaks are essential for any home handyperson tasks.

I superglued a chair today. It didn't go well Unfortunately Ikea furniture is not boyproof.

I've done the sweeping, on top of the cooking, but as usual have not yet tackled the ironing.

@frog I've forgotten what an iron looks like.🙃😊 Superglued a non boy proof chair, at least you gave it a go. Sounds like you deserve a break @frog.☕️☕️☕️

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

I have an ironing and mending basket that gets gone through a couple of times per year. Ironed blouses get a few outings, but I still like them in our wardrobes .... for the odd occasion.

Oooh @frog you have done well. Hope tomorrow is good for you.

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

Hi everyone,

Today’s personal goals?

I plan to go for a walk before I go to work and hopefully have some sort of healthy breakfast too 🍌🍎🥝

I have taken a break from studies this semester. I plan to return to uni either next sem or next year (more likely next year). My mental health hasn’t been the best this year hence my decision to take a break. It has been a rough year...I’m trying to get back into some healthy habits and get my mental health back into shape before I return to uni.

@Shaz51, wow, great work 😊 You got a lot done on Saturday! I hope your Mother’s Day meal went well.

Also, I’m just curious to know what the difference is between a Community Guide and Community Elder? Thanks 🙏

@Appleblossom, that is a gorgeous painting. For a second, I thought you painted it...till I read your post. Lol. Either way, it’s beautiful 🌸

@frog, you certainly have been busy. I hope you were able to un-superglue the chair! Lol.

@Maggie, ☕️ sounds like a great idea!

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

Good morning @Pepperpot and anyone else around ......

Walk and healthy breakfast sounds great. I am aiming for the healthy breakfast, but the walk has gone the by this morning ...... can’t fit everything in and had to be on the road for other things anyway ...... so today I sit in the coffee shop having driven here .......

Good on you for taking the mental health break that you need. In contrast I am preparing to go back to study after many years managing family and business commitments ......

My daughter has taken a mental health break from studies tho. I was hoping she would go back next semester but it might not be until next year. She has some sorting out to do.

Community Guide - peer support person who has been here a while ..... meets and greets new people and helps show them around a bit (guide) and offer suggestions where forumites might be feeling a little stuck.

Community Elder - someone who has been here a longish time usually, and often are a “retired” Community Guide. Same, they are very approachable and have experience and wisdom to share .....

Hope you have a lovely day .......

Looking for you @Teej @Former-Member @Kurra ..... 💜

@Pepperpot @Maggie @Teej @Faith-and-Hope @Shaz51

Only thing on the list today is to make a counsellor appointment and "inspire" son to make dinner.

Of course there will be lots of little extras that get done.

@Pepperpot I have been allergic to digital gadgets and so late to join social media etc. This has been my first real forum. I dont have a phone yet either. Whilst posting here, I discovered some fabulous art sites. Others often post chirpy photos but I thought I could learn more about an area that has been significant in my family .. painting. I dont paint, tho I did as most children do ... but It has been an interesting and healing journey to explore the wonders of art on the web and share them here.

It was a pink green parrot tulip.

@Appleblossom@Teej@Faith-and-Hope@Pepperpot@Shaz51 And everyone passing through. I'm heading out with a friend to buy a frame for my last cross stitch. Wish me luck again, nothing happens fast in my world. Healthy breakfasts, creative painting all sound great, good luck everyone.🌺🌷🌷🍄
