Nice, its almost spring. Here's the accountability/goals thread for the month of March. As usual, this is a place for you to post about your goals, both short and long term, and to give and receive encouragement in achieving them.

Given that February feels like it basically didn't exist, I'm having a bit of trouble focusing on what I want to do in March.
I've got a bunch of appointments--doctors, school, massage therapy--that I need to get to, so that's definitely one of my goals.
My second term starts on the 16th and I'll be taking 4 credits instead of 1, so I really need to figure out how to get back into my groove. I've been feeling constantly restless for weeks, I can barely sit still. I keep sleeping in instead of getting up when my alarm goes off, even though hitting snooze every 9 minutes isn't very conducive to extra sleep. My brain keeps checking out and forcing me to do absolutely nothing, sometimes for days. I've basically just been letting myself slack off of my usual routine and I need to get back into it because I'll have a lot more work to do in this second term and given that I can barely get the work of one credit done right now, it seems unlikely that I'll be able to manage the coursework without seriously improving some things. I think I'm going to start with getting out of bed on time and doing my mindfulness first thing in the morning--even if I do an off the mat mindfulness like mindful walking or count my yoga as mindful movement. I've been slacking on the mindfulness because I'm so restless I can't sit still long enough, but when I don't do my mindfulness, the rest of my day tends to be more unfocused and off track.
The only other goal I can think of right now is to get the listings up in my shop for the spring stuff I've been making. That includes writing the listings and taking photos of the items.

- Finding an internship for my degree, so I can finally rid myself of this cancerous hiatus and continue pursuing something else.
- Forgetting her. She's not going to write back, trust me.
- Progress on some outdoor stuff. Small runs, exercises everyday I'm home; this'll also set ground for me to get a proper background in case I wanna do some saloon/gym stuff when (or if) I can start internship/working
- Seek some more stuff for your intrusive thoughts. I know perfectly well they're caused by my unhappiness, hiatus and current inability to pursue what I want to; but life will always bring ups, down and hiatus'; and I don't want to keep blaming myself for continuously
 about wanting someone to get a brain cancer (I'll write a lot more about this one soon, any advice here is appreciated as well)

I don't usually post daily goals, but I've been having a hard time staying focused, so my goals for today are to do at least 2 meditations, write some new listings for my shop, crochet another scrunchie, and make sure I have all of my questions written down for my academic advising appointment tomorrow morning.

I crocheted another scrunchie, wrote 4 listings (so I have 3 left I think), and reviewed my questions for my appointment. I haven't done any meditations yet, but I'm hoping to do at least one before I go to bed. |

I keep making goals and I keep not keeping to them. Today, my only goal is to get stuff done for school. No quantity specified, just something.

March Goals:
Well: a hell of a lot to deal with and to sort out and organize and prioritize.
Too much. So I would rather make like the Fabulous Thunderbirds and stay in bed instead.
And I keep in mind that I am advised by the PtSD app to chill and simplify and take time out to do nothing ... while I am stressing that there is too much to deal with and not have enough time to handle it all - but it is up to me to do the best I can anyway.
With all that in mind:
- Make the Great Plan for the future with this Full Moon in Virgo to give energy to it.
- Get started on what I want to accomplish
- make a schedule of my Countdown to leave Thailand to go to Vietnam (and then on back to the States in a month or two or three)
- reservation for the plane
- " hotel room in Vietnam
- synchronize with my friend in Vietnam who is helping me arrange things
for today:
- do my exercises which I have not been able to fit in most days lately
- get a reiki Tx from my g/f Nok.
- get my Tattoo that we had talked about by Nok's friend, with bamboo needle
-WD Thai money from my bank and also
- get an advance of some American cash at the bank
- come back to the Present as soon as I can when I find I am out in Fantasy land, throughout the day.
- do Meditation and maybe take a nap
- try to stay calm and Present

I still haven't gotten back into my normal routine. Sitting still is really difficult. Doing much of anything in the morning is difficult. School was really overwhelming the first week, but I adjusted and now I'm doing better. It would be good if I could actually get back in my routine though. I was so busy with school stuff this month that I didn't have the chance to get the listings up in my shop. Basically, I didn't do very well with my goals this month. How did everyone else do? |

Me and the rest of my country are in lockdown. Meaning I can't leave the flat unless A I'm going out to the supermarket or other essential services or B for exercise once a day. But even though Im stuck in my flat I'm been writing more fanfiction. I'm currently working on a abbreviated version of my Pokemon fanfiction. Before the lockdown I used to find between classes dding and sleep I didn't have enough hours in the day to do everything but now I have alot of spare time on my hands.

Since I've only got 4 goals, let's go step by step, shall we? •Not only did I fail to find an internship before the end of March, that 'cancerous hiatus' became the new world order now. So I can't tell if it's a personal failure, or a universal stroke of luck. •She got admitted to an hospital the day the virus is first seen in our country and I wrote back to her. Of course I overdid it once again and she didn't return to my final message. Fuck this shit. •A few days after those 'morning stretches', I ceased going onto those runs and I've got tremendous weight due to isolation. I'll probably end up as a donut by the end of this plague. •Due to my family constantly being around and some other life stuff coming up, my intrusive thoughts surprisingly got tamer. They're going wilder now due to me and writing about them though. Scrap this shit, too. So, yeah. This month's been pretty insane, really. And for the first time, not all of it was my fault. I have no idea of the future now. Maybe it's best if I only focus on surviving this month (and the whole plague) with my sanity intact. |

I really hope it gets better for you. I think that surviving goal is a good one. We all pretty much have to. And, if she doesn't get back to you, don't beat yourself up too much about overdoing it. Everybody overdoes it sometimes, and at least part of the reason you do it is because you care. Don't let this crazy state the world is on keep you down. |

Yeah, it was a tough cookie. Then again, it was for everyone, so I can't complain. I've started exercising in home now, so it'll get better in due time and I won't turn into a donut. I also actually started pursuing some freelance translation jobs (even though the only document of my 'proficiency' is a crappy exam), which are my true fields of passion. So, things start to look up; guess I'm adjusting to this quarantine/covid stuff. Though I have to admit that I've once again slipped up and not been calling anybody for a long time now (especially a friend I promised to call a week ago. I know he won't be mad at me which makes things worse).
It doesn't help that I'm STILL thinkiing of her, either.
Thanks for the reassurance, though. I'm slowly lifting things up. How's it going on your end?
