My apologies for getting this up a day late.
As always, this thread is a place for you to share your goals, no matter how big or small they might be. They can be related to daydreaming, or just for life in general. You share your goals and can give and receive encouragement in achieving them.

This is my last month of summer break since I'm taking a summer class starting in July, so I'm gonna try to relax. I was off last month too, but I had like 6 doctors' appointments, so it was absolutely not relaxing at all and I'd really like to change that this month.
That being said, I do still have a couple essential things to do this month. I need to take my placement exams for English and math so that I can register for fall classes. I also started seeing my therapist again, so I'll presumably have appointments with her once a week for a while, and I'll have homework from that.
Other than that, I mainly want to just try to socialize with my friends a bit more before I get busy with school again. Maybe finish watching the Harry Potter movies with the friend I've been watching them with. I'd also like to figure out why I'm having such a hard time getting up in the morning. I'm hoping that I'm just fatigued from dehydration or something.

I want to fix my sleep routine this month. I was supposed to do it last month, but I did not have the will power to do so.
My goal is to dominate each morning by going for a walk first thing. I seriously gotta stop staying in bed all day, listening to music and Dming.
I also want to go back to reading and writing a bit, to keep my mind working, if I do consider going back to uni in the fall. I also want to quit binging on weed, and continue to stay away from unhealthy obsessions. I want to continue to stay away from Fb, for it causes me severe depression when I see the people or person I am obsessed with, and that obsession is not reciprocated. I know it’s irrational, but I have good reasons to believe I’m ill. And I’m looking forward to receiving professional help this month.
I’ve been consistent with my workouts. Hopefully I’ll keep that up.

Its so hard to make any goals when you're stuck indoors all day but I think I'll still try and work on decluttering the home and sort things to be donated when the shops reopen. At the moment thats pretty much all I can think of that will be achievable.

Since my company I am with reopened again in June (because it was closed whole quarantine) I wanna have a good start at work and get a more regular day also if I just work two days a week in the beginning. But I think it will be a lot easier if I at least have two days per week filled with something.
I moved to another city almost a year ago so I finally want to find a new therapist in my new hometown.
I wanna start getting up earlier in the morning and try making the best out of the day, not just lying around and letting the day pass by. So I'm gonna meet up more with friends or also go out on my own and relax in the sun if the weather will allow it.
I am also planning on doing different courses to find new hobbies and try out a lot of stuff I always wanted to try, for example pottery and playing the guitar.
Hopefully the weather is staying good because I am a lot mor motivated to get to my goals when the sun is shining.

I haven't been good with deciding on goals lately but here mine to get through for the month if not will see how I get on each week
1. try and get up at a better time 10 is when I get up would like it to be 9 so I can go for my first walk and not rely on my morning Fag doe in talking though me getting annoyed over things getting in the way of getting my first fag into me a quickly as possible he said all smokers are like that.
2. Now that I feel I bit better and my mental health pain is easing I started to do more things and be more motivated add more that can be done for each day and not let it slip again if I can staying positive
3. Drink more water this is to do with my physical health as I suffer with rich blood/high red blood cells. Get this when I dehydrate and it usually is kept an eye on by my doctors as it can be serious if left untreated. Getting my bloods done to check on it next week. Coke Zero's have been too good to resist lately hope fully I can undo the harm if I am good this week.
4. Look up a creative writing course or some kind of course to get my mind back focused. My therapist loves the idea of me doing a creative writing course and writing one of my stories from my daydreaming did type a bit around our first sessions but always scrapped it. Since I use to get into it a good bit he wants me to see if the interest in it come back.

After reading everyone's accountability, I feel inspired to make my own.
1. Drink plenty of water.
(I keep losing track of doing this so I got a water bottle, and a reminder app, that will hopefully help.)
2. Workout.
(This is easier since I walk a lot but I want to gain muscle too so I'll add weights. )
3. Stay consistent with work schedule.
(Another tough one but I added breaks inbetween that will hopefully help.)
4. Write at least one sentence for a story I'm working on.
(It's scary putting my ideas on paper so perhaps one sentence a day will turn into one paragraph and so on.)

Update on how I am getting on
1. To be honest I get up at 9 now and feel comfortable in easing myself in for the day so don't get out of my bed clothes until 11 so about 2 fags are had and mostly play with the dogs and login here. I taught about this aim to much I daydreamed it over. Did talked to my therapist about it but not last session so needs a bit of a push.
2. Doing more things each day now could be better may have touch this subject and same update that I am saying now on past goals on monthly threads here but still productive so that's good
3. Drink more water this is to do with my physical health as I suffer with rich blood/high red blood cells. Got my blood test done waiting to see how they are full blood test so a lot to talk about if needs be still drinking water and I started to cycle now so keep the balance of exercise and keeping hydrated.
4. Look up a creative writing course or some kind of course to get my mind back focused. Have my reddit account and my community I created slowly getting new members but added creative writing to my list that I joined and getting an idea to to pace myself and not daydream too much about what I want to write as I can loss focus for it if less interested in what I want to do. Only 4 pages in but not rushing anything and reading whats there already before I add to it. .

I'm hoping that I'm just fatigued from dehydration or something. I took my English placement exam, and I'm working on reviewing the math stuff so I can take that one as well. I've had three appointments with my therapist and they've all gone relatively well. I already know most of the stuff she's talking about, but it helps to be able to talk it out and have her keep me accountable. I haven't been doing very good about socializing, but I'm going to try to do better for the remainder of the month. We've got like 2 weeks left this month, does anyone else have updates or new goals? |

Update on progress:
1. I have been drinking more water than before but I'm not at the daily reccomendation yet. I will make this a goal next month. I'm  of buying a water purifier so that the water taste better. Maybe even infusing it.
2. I have done cardio daily but have not done much with weight resistance because I was overwhelmed. Will be working out with blogilates next month, for direction, and will make this a goal next month.
3. Staying consistent with work schedule. ✅ ( Two weeks and counting.)
4. Writing at least 1 sentence + for my story. ✅

I'm hoping that I'm just fatigued from dehydration or something. This month went by so quickly I literally didn't realize it was the end of the month until like 10pm last night. I did sort of relax as best as I could. I took my placement exams for English and math (and did remarkably well) and then registered for those classes for the fall semester. I'll take English 101 in term A and Precalculus in term B. I've done a good job of being open with my therapist and working on the things that she wanted me to do. I did kind of eh on the socializing as usual, but I did some, and I'm hopefully going to start crocheting with my grandma on a regular basis. Edit: I said I did eh on the socializing, but what that really means is I did eh on the socializing with friends. I got quite a bit of socializing from talking to my therapist and people from my school. |
