Daily Mindfulness Check-In August 17, 2020

Happy Monday to everyone. I hope you all enjoyed your weekend and you are all doing well 
It doesnt matter how slow you go until you dont stop
You can set goals around anything that you want to do to feel motivated. Goals dont need to be big, neither to be reached fast. The point is, setting a goal and pursuing it.
What goals would you like to reach up to the end of this year and what action steps do you need to take to reach your goals?

Hello,
I think that we can all agree that 2020 has definitely been a hard and wild year so far. By the end of it, I would like to work out more and reach a happy weight. In order to reach that, I need to be watching what I eat and practice at-home workouts as soon as possible. It's just hard to find motivation, but I'm hopeful that going back to school in a couple weeks will help me get back on track.
Overall, I just want to be happier by the end of the year. Happier with myself, my life, and my surroundings. I feel like I have been doing pretty good working towards that (especially by joining this site), but I still have some things I need to work on in order to feel better. But I feel confident and ready to take on that challenge. :)
@SavoyTruffle20
I totally agree, this was a hard year so far and getting motivated was definitively tough for many people whilst having been constraint to home, not being able to move around as usual. It's nice though to see that you keep up your spirits and don't let challenges stop you!
Hope things will look much better end of the year for everyone. 
I haven't much thought about my end-of-the year goals; but I do know I want to put away $1,000 by December in my rainy day fund! A lot of my previous goals had been hijacked by the pandemic, unfortunately...
@amiablePeace77 thank you again for this good check-in
What goals would you like to reach up to the end of this year and what action steps do you need to take to reach your goals?
1. Get the state to finalize our nursing license and skills so that I can move forward into school
2. Move into a bigger house as us hoomans are getting bigger-as well as my zoo
3. Have more room to foster reptiles rather puppies and kittens

@RumpleSteeleSkin
Nice goals Rumple! Hope you find your dream home, it can be stressful when space is getting small and I guess the sweet youngers want their privacy too 
@amiablePeace77
Ha sweet youngsters they are NOT. lol 20 and 18.
Thing is we keep getting more things either big or small. Then I OCD clean as I am doing now-and throw out much things lol. But I know God willing I will be blessed with a nice home with a basement and a yard and fence
@amiablePeace77 Thank you for this quote, I feel justified in "sticking with it" even though it may not be realistic. Still hoping to find (and looking!) an apartment in Miami in my price range that I actually like! Seen sooooo many things that are horrible and I can't believe there's actually a market for... not willing to raise my price so I may be shooting myself in the foot. I need a place, I need to move... but I can't justify spending 200% the price of one person to live just because I'm single. I'm still looking, haven't given up. And now there are tons of New Yorkers coming down to Florida leaving NYC because of the virus, so the rental market is becoming overrun and very quick. They're renting things "sight unseen" (I have to smell them and check that there's no mold before taking it! I'd never rent that way!) driving/keeping prices high and inventory low.
Also sticking with dating, still open to meeting someone (Virtually these days) for dating and to find a life partner!
@onwardforevenmore
Sorry to hear that the rental prices are so rediculous, it's hard when there is only one income to pay for. I hope that you will still find something soon ✌.
This covid situation has impacted every aspects of our lives and changes things quickly, read that New York has lower cases of corona now.
@amiablePeace77
Thank you for this wonderful check in :D
The goals I would like to reach up along with the action steps are:
1) Get fit and lead a healthy lifestyle with healthy weight loss - planning to enroll in a healthy diet plan
2) Improving my listening skills here, become a leader and also complete my internship - working slowly on the steps in 7Cups
3) Work on my grad school applications for next Fall - working on my personal statement
@generousDiamond35
I wish you all the best for achieving these wonderful goals!
@amiablePeace77
Thank you! That means a lot!!
Hello all, I'm really loving the positivity here.
What goals would you like to reach up to the end of this year and what action steps do you need to take to reach your goals?
I would like to be a Verified Listener, and I hope eventually to be able to be a Listener for teens. I'm thinking I need to chat regularly with people who can use my help.
Thanks for this! I feel like goal setting is really helpful.
I want to move! We're about halfway towards saving for our down payment goal. Then, we need to get pre-approval for a loan, and find a real estate agent. The pandemic has really made me confront all the little things I hate about our apartment. And there's not a lot I can do to fix it because we rent!
