Daily goals, motivation and check in

@Shaz51 @Mazarita @Maggie @Former-Member @Teej @Appleblossom

I have 2 boys at home still, my older one is supposed to be my career but doesn't really understand and my youngest has Autism so weekends i hate. I wish i could go out to places like a park or maybe walk around a beach or something, but cause of my disabilities i have to rely on my older son but hes to interested in playing online games with his friends

I do like crocheting , knitting

colouring

I have audio books

And i tape series from tv and fox to watch on weekends

I try to have them as my goals , but just have so much trouble starting them, i have been doing a little crocheting today, but find it hard to stay on it.

Been low on motivation for this whole week. Back and neck have gone out which is extra frustrating. Need to put stretches, walk and exercises back into daily routine. Think I will come out of it though. Today did a few hours of music.

@saturnzoon Can you give yourself permission to keep coming back to your crocheting. If you get distracted, its alright to start it again. I had to do that with my activities. Not put hard and fast goals .. just the goal of some activity.

Yes @Appleblossom I've been doing it on and off most of the day, night don't seem to get very far but trying to do a blanket.

@saturnzoon all the best with your crotchet blanket. I like @Appleblossom‘s suggestion to be gentle on yourself by giving yourself permission to return to it 😊

@Appleblossom This week sounds like it has been a rough one for you. It’s hard when we’re feeling unmotivated. I hope your stretches and exercises help your neck and back. Good on you for doing a few hours of music! I hope you found it cathartic 🌼

It has been a bit of a rough time for me. I’m trying to get back on track. So I suppose my goals would be to:

- resume daily breathing exercises

- continue regular exercise

- do more art.

I was feeling really down one day, and didn’t know how to express my emotions verbally. So I picked up a pencil and started sketching. I sketched a stranger’s portrait from a photo thay I found online. No idea who she is. Anyway, she had sad eyes...that’s why I drew her. It helped to make my pain “tangible” rather than just something beating in my heart, you know 💖
