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.
This is an awesome post, I love the idea of setting goals together! My goals aren't really specific week by week, but here they are:
September goals
-Standing up for myself and being more confident in my job
-Pursuing my goals without fear of failure or rejection
-Writing! I'd like to write atleast 3 more chapters of my book this month
-Learning a new song/technique on guitar
I wish you all a lot of luck in achieving your goals!

Those are awesome goals! I really hope you accomplish each and every one! Best of luck, keep your head up and stay strong!
I really really want a month without binging. That would be the best birthday gift I could give to myself. ( Wish me luck) :P
My goal is to stop eating so much sugar, and start eating more healthy snacks.
My goals for this month are:
Have a better sleeping schedule: start going to bed and getting up earlier.
Work on my arts: draw at least one thing a day and write for five minutes.
Be more active: go on a walk every day or every other day.
Learn more: discover something new every week.
My goal for September was to get my art website up. This weeks goal is to finish painting all small figures. So I'm going to break down my goal even more by setting a goal today:
My goal for today is to complete all of the figures I have in progress already - there are 8 in all. I paint various old figures I find at thrift stores that could use a new life. I paint them in my own take on the Mexican holiday known as the Day of the Dead. The 8 figures I am currently working on are all dogs: 2 bull dogs, an Afgan, a family of dalmations, a bassett hound, a boxer, and an unknown breed wearing a collar. It will be a lot of work but it's definitely in the realmn of possibility.

First of all I am super jealous! I wish I was talented enough to be an artist!! Secondly I am Obsessed with Dia de los Muertos!! You should post a pic of the art when you finish it! I am sure tons of people would love to see it! Maybe even make it a background! Lol
But the goals you have set are achievable which is great (some people make goals waaay far out of reach). Just don't give up, keep pushing yourself!
@Introvert73 Thanks! Honestly I believe everyone is an artist in they're own right. Even if you're not holding a paint brush in your hand, you are still achieving some sort of art in your life. And I definitely will... I just can't figure out how to post pictures on 7 cups. What I understand in art I lack in technology lol.
@straightforwardPine8156
Very beautifully put! You are really good with words as well as your hands! Cherish that, because it is a rare commodity and sometimes people get scared which will cause them to do or say stupid things.. But I can tell you are a very strong, smart, and kind person so you'll do great things in this world and you will go so much further then you could ever imagine!
Now as far as pictures go, when you post something you'll see the text box and above it it a few buttons to make your font bold/colored/etc. and to the left of that (and the smiley faces) there is a little picture button. Copy and paste there. But first make sure nothing is in the picture that could identify you or would break any community rules.. And your golden!
To make a commitment with school and take steps to accomplish it.
Get checked into the renew program, stay and become healthy.
My goal for September is to get through a whole week without wanting to hurt myself
