September 2016 Goals
A place to share this months goals and share how they are going. In my experience it is often easier to meet goals that follow the SMART framework ... for more information on what is the SMART framework, you can check out this post.
Encouraged format of sharing goal including example :
This months goal will be to have a more healthy routine by end of the month.
Week one - Get up at least one day setting alarm for 9 am get washed & dressed ensuring that I Eat 3 meals a day everyday
Week two - Get up at least 3 days setting alarm for 9am , get wash & dressed. Sticking to 3 meals a day. Also do at least one excercise task iin the week. (walk the dog or housework / garden)
Week three - Set alarm for 9 am everyday but one day for rest day. Get washed & dressed , sticking to to the 3 meals a day. Try do at least 3 tasks during that week. (exercise, meet a friend, housework etc)
Week four - as above however trying to complete a task everyday but a day of rest where on that day the task will be something for me to enjoy or relax.
to make new friends and be able to control my anxiety, depression and just school work in general
Sounds like you're having a tough time right now, @beautifulFreedom65. That's why I am so proud of you for setting these amazing goals as it really isn't easy to think of any goals whilst having a rough time!
Controlling your anxiety and depression can be quite challenging. Do you already have some plans on how you want to manage those better?
Making new friends and focusing on your school sounds like a great goal to keep you moving forward. How could you possibly achieve both of those goals?
@beautifulFreedom65
Controlling your anxiety, depression school work in general is a great goal. How has that been going this last few days? Any ideas on how to work on those a few minutes or a day at a time?
Have you met any new classmates that have the potential to spend time with to make friends, or others involved in similar activities yet? Sometimes it takes a while, so be encouraged!
September Goal: Get my art website up
This Weeks Goal: Complete all large figures in Section A of my studio.
Today's Goal: complete the skeletons on the large figures. (With perhaps the exception of the Russian nesting doll)
Let's go!
Today's goal process report (to paint all the skeletons on the large figures) :
I have the dolphins half done(I have something different planned for them so their skeleton phase is a bit different), the cherub, vase and boy are all done although the boy still had some flaking issues so I might have to put another layer of modpodge on him. Hopefully it doesn't turn into a case where I have to give up on him because he's unpaintable. Next is the lady who will be called 'the fortune teller'. I decided that I wanted to give her a third eye. However I've had flaking issue with her the past. Like the boy I hope I won't have to give up on her. Wish me luck.
September Goal: to get my art website up
This Weeks goal: to complete all large figures
Today's goal: to complete the skeletons
I didn't quite make my goal yesterday, and today is promising to be a busy one. So I kept the same goal I had yesterday but this time I'm including the Russian nesting doll.
Too bad you couldn't make your goal yesterday, @straightforwardPine8156. Sometimes that happens that we cannot reach our daily goals.
However, it is good to see you're still motivated and want to complete the skeletons including the Russian nesting doll! I hope today it works out the way you planned that you have completed all the large figures within this week like you've set your goal! :)
Supper Time Progress Report on today's goal (to complete all large figure skeletons) : they are all DONE! holy, those dolphins took a full 2 1/2 hours to complete! Just for the skeleton phase! Pretty insane- probably the most time consuming skeleton I've ever painted. Because of this I decided to take out the Russian doll from section A and movies it to section c. I decided to do this because I want all my pieces to come out as good as possible, and I know if I kept the Russian dolls in this weeks goal, they would be rushed, and thus not as good as they could be. I think it's just a better decision in the long run. That also allows me more time to focus on making the remaining pieces exactly as I want them to be. For the rest of the night I want to get any 'large surface area' painting done (including hair, water for the dolphins, etc) so that they're all ready for the more delicate painting tomorrow.
To try to laugh genuinely at least three times. Not like when I'm laughing while crying or when I give a fake laugh to the people around me but a genuine one. A happy one.
@PowderedGold
I love it! Have you had any genuine laughs yet? Have any ideas on opportunities for even more maybe?
Completed my goal! Got all the skeletons done and finished all the large serface area painting done too. Guaranteed another busy day tomorrow so not sure if I'm going to have time to paint at all tomorrow. But we're only halfway through the week, still feeling optimistic about making this weeks goal.
September Goal: to put up my art website
This weeks goal: to complete all large figures
Today's goal: to get as much painting done as possible. I don't think I'll be able to finish anything today as we have a dentist appointment and plans with friends. But I can work as much as possible in between.
@straightforwardPine8156 good luck wiv the plan 👍
@straightforwardPine8156
Wow! You're an artist... how neat. I wish we had a way to see a piece of your artwork.
Definitely rooting for you to get your website up. How are you doing with this week's goal as close into the weekend?
@KristenHR pretty good. The large figures should be done tomorrow.
September goal : Think POSITIVELY.
@katewee good way to think we'll done, u be fine gl 👍
@katewee
I love your goal! It's a great one. Here's to positive thinking and a place to get encouragement!
Stay alive.
I would say don't self harm but it's too late for that.
@KatherineSalvatorevr u ok, try keep calm, and positive, I know life is hard if u need to talk then it's fine
@KatherineSalvatore it said yr broken and alone, will I'd be happy to try to fix u or patch u up a little, I know life can seem like a endless circle, just need sum 1 to grab u so u don't go round again, and being alone, well now u know there's people who can go round the circle wiv u. Stay positive, marky
@KatherineSalvatore
Staying alive is a great goal - I'm so glad you chose it.
Self-harm - you can pick up from now if you wanted. It's already part of the month, but do you think you might want to make this goal at this point anyway?
