Welcome to Week 2. Just a quick reminder to grab the SMART goals template I shared on Friday if you haven't already, and get yourself set up: SMART goals template.

You are also welcome to use a different kind of system if another serves you better. And if you do use something else, please share it with the group! We’re always looking to expand our options to accommodate our diverse ways of learning and processing!

I have put together a checklist of all of our to-do items each week whcih should help stay on track if you miss time or feel yourself falling behind: Grab it here!

Our 24/7 asynchronous Huddle thrives on our collective presence, ensuring no one pursues wellness alone. For the rest of this cycle, please check in at least three days a week—ideally daily—to share your progress and struggles, ask for help, and support your peers. While the Huddle flow is asynchronous to accommodate our global timezone differences, anyone can host live sessions for people to come to. If you're open to volunteering to host a live session at whatever day or time is convenient for you, PM me for details! Let's build a culture of showing up for one another and rock this Huddle!

Here are my SMART-ified goals:

  • Secure reliable income - Apply to 10 jobs per week; follow up with at least 3 of those employers
  • Continue pursuing content creation - Record, edit, publish and repurpose at least 2 long form videos per week; upon evaluation, I'd like to increase to at least 4 videos by the beginning of Week 4.
  • Maintain regular self-care - Establish a schedule for yoga and meditation; complete both exercises at least 3 times per week; upon evaluation, I'd like to increase to at least 5 times per week by the beginning of Week 4.

These goals feel much more solid and doable for this round. I'm excited!

My goal-setting is a little bit more loosey-goosey than some maybe, but this is what I've been doing. I've been focusing on my core strength and addressing my low back pain. I've mainly just been trying to stay on top of self-care and my personal health care, (hygiene, water etc,) even if I'm not feeling that good, by taking breaks in between things and sticking to my checklist on Finch. so far so good, even though I was hit with a bit of a flare right at the beginning. I'm still going strong and feeling better. back brace is helping. good luck everyone! you can do it!

Goals

goal 1  health goal going to appointments  eating healthier  self care to stay as well as we can also taking meds  daily not skipping them part of the time

goal  2  being honest  about how we feel not just saying ok or fine even when we not so to stop covering up how we feel emotionally with ok or fine

Measurable

will measure this by getting note book and writing down in it when we do what in our goals  also write when we not doing goal reason for setbacks  

achievable 

keeping notes about each of them ,  using small steps goals to help with each goal asking for help  when we struggling too

we know we can do both the goals above just got to get with it

Relevant 

the goals will help us in our daily life and help us break bad habits  we have 

timely

not see any deadlines in our goals as will be on going with small goals as stepping stones so more about keeping records of what we doing and being accountable  in huddle to others 

we do have  like a reasonable time in  doing the small goals like setting up our meds in med trys so be easy to take goal for that one time a week not just taking  meds out of bottles each time need them

final smart goal statement 

we will improve our overall health both physically  and mentally with focus  on emotions  being honest about them more  will track goals in notebook daily aim to achieving the goals  is more improving them over next few weeks and on
