Almost forgot to do this for a second, but wow I actually managed to create it on the first of the month for once. As always, this thread is a place for people to share their goals, no matter how big or small, and to receive and give encouragement to help achieve goals.
For me, my goals for the month are to get my ID finally (I have an appointment on the 5th), to finish reteaching myself chemistry, and to work on figuring out the minutiae of opening my etsy store. Which is super stressful and every time I have to think about it I feel like I'm dying, which is super fun.
We'd love to hear everyone else's goals for the month!!!

This month I will try to challenge myself a little bit more.
1. My kitchen floor needs a repaint to go with the new door. I have to remove all of the furniture so I will give my worktops a new oiling, too.
2. I want to go over my journal and notes of the last months and decide what to do. And act upon my decisions of course. Hmm... ;-)
3. I want to eat out alone at least once this month.
4. I want to make at least one walking tour.

I made it to my DMV appointment!!! I'm so proud of myself, I've been working up to it for months. Its especially impressive given that I have a cold and I feel like I'm swallowing sandpaper.

I didn't realise that I hadn't posted my goals this month!
1. Sign up for a class or workshop. - Done it. I have a workshop booked and there is another I would like to book I just have to find out if it will interfere with a few other things I have to attend.
2. Get rid of all the DVD's I own as they are never watched.
I'm sure I'll think or something else but I'll start with just these two for now.
Good luck with your goals everyone.

I attended the first craft workshop and it was actually pretty good and I felt able to talk to other members in the class. I enjoyed it so I will be looking into going to others. I have an assessment at a collage in a couple of weeks so if I pass that I will be able to enrol on courses that have qualification at the end of them. Not sure if I want to do any but if would be nice to have the option of taking more serious classes at a later date. I do think I need to find things that I actually enjoy rather than just staying busy if I want to not daydream as much.

Keeping yourself busy can reduce your daydreaming, but if you're doing things that you don't necessarily enjoy, its likely that you'll daydream more than if you were doing something that you actually found pleasant. |

Write at least 1 page of fanfiction a night. I was struggling to write because I lacked motivation so I thought to myself 1 page isn't as hard to write compared to a whole chapter or novel so I'll just write one page and that's it. If I feel like writing more after 1 page then I can if not then I'll stop. That way writing a fanfiction seems less daunting.

I've attended a workshop and I'm signed up for a longer course that starts in November. I've gone out a few evenings with a new friend for photography events which was nice and he actually know a lot about agoraphobia and anxiety as his ex has it. I really want to do more classes as they've been quite enjoyable and although I still zoned out a few times it was nice to meet new people and it was really interesting when I met the people with similar issues to mine. It looks like there are a lot of people out there that are struggling. My physical health is a bit of an issue at the moment and I'm so tired that it might be a little hard to do all the things I want to try. Hanaiyah post about re-connecting with others has made me think that is a really positive way forward so I also volunteered for a charity and did that for a few hours and I will look into doing that again. Maybe it would be good to start a thread on rejoining the real world for those here that are isolated and they can say what they have tried doing and if it has helped them.
I'm still trying to sell things from my flat but its taking aggeeeesssss listing thing, donating things and binning things. Its seriously annoying as I just need to declutter but there is so much stuff I want to hold on to!

At the moment I'm thinking a lot about isolation, too. Especially in connection with my dd. I already volunteer but it's more of an office thing, nice people but not much chance to talk. I think it would be a very good idea to start a thread on "rejoining the real world". Or, after years of dd maybe just... joining? ;-) |
