Weekly sharing of Goals! Week #31 2024 (Monday 07/29/24 - Sunday 08/04/24)
I welcome anyone to commit to a goal here today.
But importantly, talk about getting it done..... or why it didn't happen yet.
To praise each other for our efforts and wins.
While supporting each other through trials and setbacks.
And to continue trying and not give up.
Remember:
Every Goal should be considered "Worthy".
Never belittle your achievements and be proud of yourself for your daily accomplishments!
Whether they be Complex or Simple.
Getting out of bed is a good day..... Good job I say!
Share your goals today, for support and encouragement.
Still having network issues at work. Submitted a ticket. Thinks it's because I had to change my password for my workstation and the Group Policy wasn't updated. Can't fix that myself.
So I'm working on the chart. I'm up to yesterday on everything else (which will take maybe 30 minutes when I decide to look at the daily reports. Most of these are blank). I found a template for Excel and an online example of the layout of the chart I need to use so I'm using those since I tried to use my software at home last night but was requested by someone to chase...
Hey It’s my first time getting back on 7 cups in a few years and this is just what I was looking for. I'm in the process of practicing regulating my nervous system and getting back into my body. I would love to continue to post here while giving and receiving support through this process.
@determinedBeing244
That is fantastic. Welcome aboard and for sure let us know how things are going. Even though I'm the author of this thread I encourage everybody to interact with everybody else because this is 7 cups that's seven cups of conversation for a full range of ideas and support.
So, what's up with regulating your nervous system? What does that entail how do you do that?
Anyway, it's good to see you and I hope you do good. Keep us posted😃
Thanks for the welcome! Right now it consist of a lot of body centered activities like a regular walking schedule, yoga, tapping and breathing exercises. Mindfulness meditation focused on being “in my body.” Journaling/reflecting on this process. These practices will not only help to regulate my nervous system but be better at noticing when I'm feeling dysregulated.
@determinedBeing244
I'm a huge fan of all that but I do not find the time to practice it intensely but I do practice it in bits and pieces throughout the day and it helps a lot.
What is the tapping exercise? I know I can look it up but seeing that you mentioned it... you're tagged 😁. I've never done that. I used to do one hour meditation everyday and I really liked it.
Eft tapping. I would recommend looking it up but it's a way to process emotional distress by tapping on points of the body. I find it calming and really helps to take me out of my head in those moments.
@determinedBeing244
Ok, thanks and I did. Now i get it. 😊. Is regulating your nervous system to reduce your anxiety?
This might be more personal than you wanna get but do you suffer from extreme anxiety attacks? Or any kind of anxiety and high anxiety throughout the day?
I have experienced high anxiety on a regular basis for a long while.
@determinedBeing244
I'm sorry for the late response. I did not see this answer to my question until just now.
I'm sorry to hear that you suffer from regular anxiety and high anxiety. I do like however, how you classify it as regulating your nervous system. That insight in interpretation can make all the difference in the world as to how you approach it and you are hitting it head on. That's great!
Not only do I think that's admirable, I think it's manageable and productive.
I missed this post three days ago. So... HOW's it been going? Fantastic I hope. 😊
@determinedBeing244
P.S. Have a nice easy day today.
@IsayUncle
I have always said I need to find time to meditate, do yoga, spend "real" time journaling and not just putting down a few sentences from my phone to an app here and there.....but I'm with Uncle....I can barely squeeze in time to do what I do now. Spending extended amounts of time on these things doesn't seem to be in the cards for me at the moment.....well to be honest, this week would be the best "moment" for me to do some of these things since I'm on a "do nothing" vacation.
I tried to incorporate a "yoga day" into my weekly workout routine a while back and found that it wasn't for me. I find that after about 5 minutes, I get distracted with all the other things I can or should be doing because I feel like I'm sitting being unproductive.....My mind wanders here and there, which I know is the opposite of what yoga and meditation is supposed to be but I'm not sure how to stop that. I think that I could be pedaling a 30 miler instead of sitting here attempting to a do a pose that I am definitely not limber enough to do and being frustrated because my balance is all off for the proper footing of a warrior pose....lol.....Its all probably because I'm not good at it....but to get good at it I have to do it....but won't because I'm not good at it....its a vicious circle....lol.....
@IsayUncle good morning favouritist uncle ❤❤ good morning everyone ❤ I just woked up. you know sometimes I go hours without drinking coffee, yep it's called sleeping😁 ok I love you, hope your day is as spectacular as me 😎❤
@Tinywhisper11
Good morning sunshine, I haven't even gone to bed yet. I'm not usually a night owl i've been pretty busy with work and getting home late, which is good and bad.
You must be getting up around 3:00 or so or 3:30. That's actually the time that I get up most of the time too but you're 5 hours ahead of me and now that I'm getting to bed later I'm getting up a little bit later too.
@IsayUncle ohhhh! It is late for you, come on mister off to bed with you ❤ checks under your bed for monsters, nope nothing there just a few ghosts 👻 ticks you into bed, kisses your head, goodnight sweet prince ❤
@Tinywhisper11
ticks in my bed ohh no not the ticks! bad dog bad dog NO Ticks please.
did you mean Tucks..... that's what my nice niece would do. 😴
@IsayUncle 😂😂😂😂😂😂 yep! I meant tuck you in 😂😂😂😂😂 don't worry no ticks in your bed ❤❤ goodnight, I love you ❤
My do nothing goal of the day....watch the ocean roll in and out.....They are saying there may be some rain today....a lot of folks get upset when it rains on their vacation....especailly when they want to spend time ON the beach....but watching a storm on the ocean from your room balcony can be a nice thing....at least I think so.....
Reading about Logical Data Models before I attempt to construct one for assignment #8...
@Enthenia
You have been doing awesome this week. I haven't had a chance to say much but I've been reading your post and you're killing it.
I'm gonna guess you are going to be very good with the logical data exercises and finished lesson 8 with flying colors. 😃
@IsayUncle I don't know. I looked at the videos that were in the guidelines section but they told me absolutely nothing. I've looked at articles but they just give me an overview.
I'm just ready for this class to be done.
@IsayUncle itttsss Thursday 😁 happy Thursday uncle ❤ happy Thursday everyone ❤❤
🎶🎶 wake, wake, wake yourself up everyday, and dance, dance, dance the sleep away
@Tinywhisper11
@Tinywhisper11
Trigger Warning TRUMP... LOL
@IsayUncle 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@Tinywhisper11
Good morning Tiny, 
with family and friends 💓. I wish everyone a wonderful day.
@IsayUncle ❤
@Tinywhisper11
Did you get much sleep last night? How are you feeling this morning?
@IsayUncle strokes arm🤔🤔 I'm feeling smooth😂😂 I'm ok ❤ I am a bit drained, heat stroke sucks! It was 20degrees last night at the coolest point😨
how did work go yesterday??? Did you manage to catch up on sleep?? Do you want a hug???
@Tinywhisper11
I'm glad you're doing OK and "you" are smooth..... a smooth operater. 😁. 20 celsius = 68 farenheight (-80 p0ints for spelling)... anyway, that sounds like a comfortable temperature right now. Heat stroke is nothing to mess around with..... so you treat it seriously until you feel better, which will be soon.
About work; I've come to some very good crossroads and intersections that I have to navigate. With all the hardships of work I talk about one wouldn't think they come from successes, But in reality they do.
So work is good but I struggle with finding a rhythm. That's expected with new obligations.
I actually started a new thread this morning in the journal section and it's titled "Efforts and Progress beyond Survival" to help me balance all these new obligations while trying to maintain my core balance, (which has falling apart fast ☹️). But, like you, I'm going to keep fighting the good fight!
I love you bunches 🤩
I think there is a saying that says, "Be careful what you wish for, you might get it".
Not only did I wish for a viable income opportunity but I also worked very hard for it. I got it, I'm there. But now I have to navigate the reality of it all. (like other people). The work home balance thing.
I started another thread for myself because I like this one where everybody's just kind of talking about what's going on. It's just gonna be "a lot" about me ranting and raving and coniving and listing things, while just blowing off steam for the most part. It's going to be a tool for me to get sorted, as I travel this road with all of its unexpected bumps and detours.
I got lucky to have a rain day today. I have a vendor report to do and then a whole lot of core balance chores to do.
I hope everyone has a good day today.
So I have 2 points out of four done on the next assignment. Just have the tables to do and a memo.
No one is really in the office today but I have to remember to check emails because the girl who approves wires is off today. They just assigned the reports for last month so I didn't gain any ground there...
@Enthenia
Sounds good with the 2 points to go.
You got stuck with last months reports.... bummer. 🙁
@IsayUncle I always have those and the daily reports. Each new month, we have to assess the previous month.
And it's just the memo that I need to finish--which I'm working on now.
@Enthenia
Oh.... I just re-read, it's the emails, oops. Anyway, i hope it was not a bad day. 😉
@IsayUncle I got the assignment submitted. And the reports don't look too bad but there are four states that can be troublesome. Usually have a lot of new names and then I have to do background checks.
OK.... I REALLY HAVE TO STOP DRINKING AND START EATING BETTER.
I am snowb.all.ing backwards badly into a negative ravine.
My mind seems to to be constantly out of focus. I am tired all the time. I wasted today sleeping all day.
I don't like my other thread, it's lonely over there.🤣 I was trying to spare everyone my boring, whining and complaining. But I guess you're stuck with it for a while 😁.
It's 9:00 PM and I really screwed up doing nothing all day today. My nephew wanted to come and visit woohoo BUT I asked him to wait until September when I was gonna have some surgery. He decided to come down now. And right now I have a chance to score on two big jobs that will be very lucrative but complicated to figure out for me because I'm still learning and also they will take a lot of time to do.
Along with that I had already become overwhelmed with just the basic routine of trying to work and keep my house together.
I still haven't been eating healthy and I'm drinking too much. I'm not getting stupid drunk but even when I'm not drinking, my mind is very foggy and out of focus. And I contribute that completely and absolutely to the bad eating habits and the drinking.
So I gotta get all my messes cleaned up while trying to find time to Eat healthy and figure out a different way to relax.....
It always starts with the same thing, clean kitchen do dishes blah blah blah, core balance and then I'm too tired to do anything else. I really want a drink right now.
BTW...... THIS DRINKING THING IS A NEW DEVELOPEMENT..... for about 2 months now. I've always drank in my life but it's never been like this, at this level of dependency. It's like a drink helps me keep going and it has for the moment but it comes at a cost.
