Weekly sharing of Goals! Week #5 2024 (Monday 01/29/24 - Sunday 02/04/24)
I welcome anyone to commit to a goal here today.
But more importantly, talk about getting it done or why it didn't happen today.
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.
I've added a "soft" tag list to this thread because I start a new thread every week and sometimes it gets lost and is hard to find. If you want to be removed or added, please let me know but always visit when you can. We love to hear from you! 💗.

REFLECTION WEEK!
Share your January story how did it go?
In the last couple of weeks I had been trying (and still am) to learn myself: what are motives of my actions, why I have certain reactions for specific situations, etc.
By learning myself, I start looking at myself from a parent's perspective: understanding my flaws and weaknesses, trying to support myself as I can.
My goal is to learn myself even deeper, to learn how to handle my emotions and to direct them (emotions) into a positive way, where I and my family can benefit.
I want to become my own good friend before getting a child. So I could be a good mom. Also through learning myself, I want to better understand my husband and to truly become his best friend. The year 2023 taught me that nothing is important in this life, but you and your family. Even career and money are nothing. My job promotion 2 years ago didn't bring me joy but a burnout... More money doesn't equal more happiness. Happiness is you. And how you feel.
Good morning 7cups land. My days off of work have changed and now I will have Sunday/Mondays off and work from Tues thru Saturday. The start of my week will be a little more "normal" so to speak. I have big goals this week in the ways of home remodel. Yesterday we tore up all the carpet in the living room and prepared the dining room for new flooring. We are putting down the "life proof" flooring. Its going to start in the dining room and go through the archway into the living room. We decided to do both rooms so that they kind of flow together if that makes sense. The problem with this project is that the downstairs is so small that I cannot empty one room into the other to do the whole room at once. No room for all the furniture and things. We need to clear sections of the room, put the flooring down, move it back and continue like that. This project will happen a little at a time, over the course of the week. One good thing about this is that my girlfriends son, who is 20, will be doing all the floor laying. Let the young buck do it hahaha....Being down on my knees like that for so long isn't good for my knees lol.....My girlfriend and I will be helping with the moving of furniture and that is about it. All three of us will be working our normal jobs which is why it will happen over the course of the week. We will mostly be working a couple hours each night after dinner to get this done.
That is my only goal for this week. Today, on my day off, I have to do snow removal/snow blow since we got some snow overnight. I do my driveway and 3 others on the street(older people who don't have the help).
I hope everyone has a good start to their week and accomplishes everything on the lists.
@CyclingThroughLife Sounds like you definitely have busy evenings this week! Are you thinking of doing any before and after photos? Maybe you could share them here? Only if you're comfortable of course - I think those are always awesome to see. I hope it all goes well!
@mytwistedsoul
I concur. I would like to see that too but I know it takes more time to take pictures and download it and stuff like that but just saying......
@IsayUncle
We have before and during pics as we work and will have after pics, but I've never been successful adding photos to this site.
@CyclingThroughLife I usually just add them from my phone but it probably depends on the phone you have - idk. It has gotten a lot hard to add pics. You used to be able to copy and paste them. That was alot easier
Wheen I try to add them from my phone it tells me access to photos denied and I can't seem to find where to change that. I blame that on my non-technical 51 year old self
@CyclingThroughLife I might be able to help. Go to settings and open your apps. Find your camera app and open that and go to permissions. From there you can change it - hopefully lol 🤞
@CyclingThroughLife
That sounds like a very tiring project after working all day but also, very rewarding if everything goes well. That's great that you got your son to come help out. It should make it go a lot quicker.
To have that as your only goal this week sounds awesome. It's nice sometimes just have one thing to focus on. Big luck on your progress buddy
I can't believe it's almost February! 😮 I got a few things accomplished in January. A shed built for pellets for the stove I installed plus it gives me a little more storage space as I just to get more organized 😅
I have to admit last week wasn't very productive. Other than a dentist appointment and getting a ton of pellets that was pretty much all I did. Unless you figure in the loading and unloading of those pellets lol! Oh and a few phone calls made and I looked into paint for the shed. Still too cold and wet but hopefully soon I can paint it. So looking at it written down - maybe it wasn't such a bad week
This week I need a hair cut. I can't remember when I last had one and I'm looking alittle like Shaggy - zoinks! Plus a return trip to the dentist to have a chipped tooth fixed. I got a lawyer picked out but haven't made it in for an actual consultation - we've talked but not in person - I needed certain paperwork for them for our first meeting. Which I did get those last Sunday. Idk - I'm nervous about meeting with him 😅
I hope you and everyone here has an awesome week. Hopefully we'll see the sun here at some point!
@mytwistedsoul
Good job on the pellet shed. YES! Buying and loading and unloading the pellets counts a lot.
May your haircut come out awesome and your dental work pain free! 😬.
Week five and six is going to be a mess for me. The last two weeks of this *** job I'm bound & determined to serve my time...... not lying... it sucks!.... 2 more paychecks. 🥺
@IsayUncle Thanks! Did the haircut yesterday. I don't look like a a total dork 😂 The dentist is tomorrow 😬 fingers crossed but omg I am dreading it 😅
@mytwistedsoul
(it wasn't this bad was it?).... this would be me 🤣
@IsayUncle 😂 😂 No fortunately it wasn't anything like that but I could see it happening. She's good enough that she doesn't let you see the needle 😅 I hate needles
It took longer to drive there than it did to fix the tooth lol!
@mytwistedsoul
Good... 😁
I'm in a state of Euphoria this morning. Happy dance time. Positive disbelief and resignation.
I ended my current arrangement with my misery job and worked it out into a manner that will benefit me in a good way.
@IsayUncle Hey that's great! Congratulations! It's always awesome when things work out in a way that benefits us! *Happy dance initiated* 😁
@mytwistedsoul
Thanks
Exactly! I got the same exact outfit and have been dancing up and down the street all day LOL 🤣
...... Actually, just sleeping all day...... Feel so freaking good.
@IsayUncle LMAO! Thank God! I didn't want to be out here looking like this all on my lonesome 😂😂
I'm glad you're taking the day to rest. You've been going at it hard for awhile. You definitely deserve the rest 👍
It's time to get my house and body in order. I've been hardly able to keep everything from falling into complete disarray and absolute chaos.
My body is a sickly slug of weight right now. It is literally exhausted depleted and worn out. I guess I could say that is my biggest priority. I will sleep as much as I need to for the next 4-5 days to recharge my batteries while doing chores in between.
I will absolutely take the time to make my green juices for the next two to three weeks, just to replenish the nutrients into my body and into my brain. It'll be a very time consuming endeavor but it will be my most important accomplishment for the next couple of weeks.
Chore basics this evening: Kitchen dishes and Laundry.
In the past month all things got pushed aside. I think it is strange that we can work 12 hours plus for someone else day after day but then when it comes to working for ourselves and finding your own motivation it's hard to work two or three hours in a row.
This is my list to regain my balance. Have all laundry caught up. Address and answer all emails appointments and other obligations. Get all my accountant paperwork completed to this current week. Various cooking projects but the priority being greens and juices. Vacuum and clean all floors. Sort and put away eclectic collection of things with little rhyme or reason. Be sure there is no residue paperwork and things on the office desk or the kitchen table. Get both those platforms cleaned into a fresh starting point.
I'm still suffering from the backside of the cold symptoms, some minor coughing and partially plugged up head. I did not sleep well at all last night, tossing and turning up and down every 45 minutes to an hour so I'm still very tired today.
DO MY LAUNDRY
Today will just be a continuation of the past two days but i'm feeling a little bit better I think that I'll have a lot more success towards productivity unlike the last two days where I spent a lot of time just resting and sleeping between chores. Perhaps today I can dominate and overcome.
It's still all of the same stuff but just a little bit less of everything. READY, SET, GO!......
Well wishes to everyone that's been struggling this week.
May today be a nice turning point and a good day for you.
All laundry is washed, folded and put away. 100% done!
All dishes are washed and put away. The kitchen is cleaned. 100% done!
Moving on to the trash department. 1) Empty all recyclables. 2) Empty all trash. 3) Load the trailer with the trash cans for a dump run. 4) Do the burn barrel. 5) Clean up the yard of all the dog paraphernalia trash that they've dragged in from who knows where?
This should actually be a nice couple of hours. My dogs have missed me so much and they will really be happy that I'm outside interacting with them. I just finished my audio book the Rising Sun. I'll find another to listen to. the weather is super nice here today.
@IsayUncle Dog paraphernalia 😂 They are good at finding all kinds of lovely things 😂 Glad you can hang out with them today!
You're cruising right along on chores today! Woohoo!
CLEAN ALL MY FLOORS!
It took 11 hours but I finally got all my floors cleaned. 😕
WASH DISHES, CLEAN KITCHEN
I don't know why I am so perpetually tired.
