Goals :)

I was thinking for motivation it might be nice to have a thread to post our daily/weekly goals and check in if we wanted to. You could also post a one time goal if you want, really anything goes.

I am going to try actually meditating for 5 minutes a day. My plan is to make it an everyday thing, but I'll start with a goal of daily for the next week. I keep saying I am going to do it, and not doing it. I'll check back to let you know how it's going!

Great idea for a thread

I love this idea. Now I just need a goal...

My goal for next week is to go to the dentist for a cleaning and exam, I've been putting it off for far too long

great idea! my goal is to get thru my bro in law's upcoming weekend visit without getting stressed.

Good job making goals everyone!

I did my first 5 minute meditation. I tried this gratitude meditation if anyone is interested.

I want to start coloring again.

Great idea!
Thank you!

Right now, my only project is in getting through the next few days.
One of the goals I have is to start injecting a medication I have been putting off for over 2 years. I am not 100% sure I "want" to do this. I do need to do it in order to delay deterioration related to Psoriatic Arthritis. uggh!

I have much to do, but this is the biggest task, the most challenging task, at hand. Mostly because I have very mixed feelings.

Love to All~

Get to the grocery store. I've put it off and procrastinated so much that I had to stop at the corner store today for milk and bread for mum. It's my job to keep the larder full.

I just need to see my Doctor tomorrow about this huge Asthma flare and hopefully be able to handle the steroids that I need .... and hope it doesn’t kick my Bipolar sideways. It’s always a balancing act needing steroids

Three goals for me today:

1. Fold and put away some of my laundry (and maybe sew two things)
2. Go to my haircut appointment
3. Make a homemade salsa (hubby inflicted on me). I may need to go to the store for an ingredient
4. Clean up any messes I make

Longer term goals:

1. Start tracking my eating again/meal planning
2. Start something that is preparation for future part-time work.

try not to feel too depressed

not much but all I have today

My goals for the day

Submit Bipolar Treatments sub forum request
Complete homeschool assignments with my son
Wash all clothes needed for vacation
Make a list of everything I need to prep or do for vacation

My husband and I have made it a family goal to declutter our whole house and donate everything that we do not absolutely need or want. We feel that this will make our home life much simpler. We inherited the family home when my mother in law passed away and there is still a lot to go through. When my father passed away, I received the majority of his things and we also have 30 years of marriage "stuff accumulation". Over the past few years, we have done this a few times, but have still been a bit too sentimental about what really matters and we are going to do a serious paring down.


In reality, I can handle one or two drawers a day or maybe a cabinet. My goal today is the three drawers of my night stand. Yesterday I tackled two junk drawers in the kitchen. I know it doesn't sound like much, but I am chipping away at it until each weekend when my husband is able to make bigger dents.

Goals for today:
take my daughter to work.
clean upstairs bathroom.
make sure to eat.
polish floors.
make dinner.
rest.

One of my goals for today was to take a shower, which I just did. The other ones are:
-Return some stuff to the library
-Finish a book I'm reading
-Finish cleaning my freezer

Update: I did return stuff to library and cleaned my freezer. About 75% through the book, my kindle is charging right now and I'll finish the rest tonight

I'm done with my list for the day. I also knocked several of my prep items off the list.

Great job making goals everyone! Fern and Blue_bird nice work on getting them done, thanks for updating us!

I meditated for five minutes before work this morning. I think I might do another 5 tonight. My brain could use the mindfulness today.

That does sound really challenging. Thinking of you.

Nice job!

goals all accomplished, I even did some pruning in the back yard and filled my pool with some water today. all I have to do is get my daughter later from work. more goals tomorrow!

I probably should have posted my goals this morning and then come back to say how I did with them. But oh well. I'll just post everything. lol.

My goals this morning:
1. Clean all the crap off the floors in my bedroom
2. Clean my kitchen
3. Clean the bathroom
4. Clean the living room

I did #1 and #2, partially, because it's a lot more work than I realized. I had tons of empty boxes laying around on the floor and empty gatorade bottles stacked up on my counters. Then I had some miscellaneous recyclables, such as plastic bags, Amazon bubble envelopes, and shrink wrap from opened packages. I tore everything apart and broke down the boxes so that I could fit them all in plastic trash bags. I ended up with 3 full bags worth of sh_t! That's how much I had laying around!

I still have clothes and stuff on the floor, though. I'm such a messy person. However, I'm going to leave them on the floor for now since I have to do laundry anyways, so they'll just stay there. lol. My goals for tomorrow will instead be: finish #1 and #2 (although #2 is almost finished). I also have to shred papers so that I don't have a mountain of papers just laying around.

Good job Jedi and Bluebicycle! Bluebicycle I always find that whenever I start a cleaning project it turns out to be a bigger task than I expected. Getting started can be the hardest part, though!

1. Didn't do - Oh well!
2. Did - My hair looks nice.
3. Did and more - Made a homemade salsa fresca, mango salsa, and also mixed up a cream cheese spread with fresh lovage from our herb garden. I also went to the grocery store and bought blue corn chips and Stacy's pita chips to go with all of this.
4. Sorta did.
