Weekly sharing of Lofty Goals reduced to reality, #28 (Monday 7/10/23 - Sunday 7/16/23 )
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.
SATURDAY MORNING
I have the same two goals today as I did yesterday.
A real biggie is to start working on the transmission on the van. If I can get that jacked up and blocked up high enough so I can crawl under it easy, that'll be a very good first step.
Secondly, I'd like to make significant progress towards putting my domestic things in order and completing as many as possible. (Clean kitchen, Do laundry, Call insurance company, Change dog beddings, Vacuum and sweep floors.)
I did get a lot of organization done around the van yesterday and also got some domestic chores done but my goal remains to work on my transmission. I'm feeling a little bit anxious because this was my week's goal and today is Saturday. I am hyper aware that I overthink and very often shut myself down by getting stressed when I'm feeling cornered. That's how I feel this morning but I'm gonna exercise some "grit" and "come back to it" from yesterday.
SUNDAY MORNING
WEEK #28 IS COMING TO AN END. I felt very discouraged because I did not work on my transmission but then i looked at my list from the beginning
SUNDAY MORNING.... oops on the previous post lol
WEEK #28 IS COMING TO AN END. I felt very discouraged because I did not work on my transmission but then I looked at my list from the beginning of the week. I realized I did get a lot of things done and the transmission wasn't even on my list. I got my equipment delivered, I kept the house up mostly but it's a mess now, Ran big errands and got a lot of shopping done, I didn't call my insurance company but I got the chainsaw fixed.
I really did make good progress but a lot of it wasn't even recorded. I've finished my shelvess and my quonset Hut so I did a lot of salvage reorganization and I got the area around the van all cleaned up so now it's a workable space and that was huge so I'm feeling better this morning.
Reflection and Thanks: I really enjoyed the cheerleading snoopy and ongoing supprt @ mytwistedsoul (thx so much!). Loved the thread about grit and appreciated the reminder about "Coming back to it" @HealingTalk
Here's a great thread from @soulfullyabutterfly about perseverance and grit.

NOTE: Every Goal can be considered "Lofty". Like beauty, it is in the eye of the beholder. Never belittle your achievements and be proud of yourself for your daily accomplishments, whether they be complex or Simply getting out of bed..... Good job I say!
My goal for today is to relax my mind. I'm still going to do my physical chores and tasks but most importantly, be thankful with a relaxed state of mind, regardless of the task at hand.😊
5:27am: Do dishes - Clean kitchen 😃

@IsayUncle Thanks! It makes sense to clean up around your van before you start to work on it. That way there's some free space to put parts and tools. I actually put some stuff away when I was cleaning up after I finished painting. So half the living room looks tidy lol. I made use of some shelves that were put up in the closet about a month ago. It does feel good when you can be more organized. It's usually cleaning up one mess so I can make another one 😂 I'm a pro when it comes to messes
I have an old dog. And a cat that decided he lives here. A horse and 10 chickens and 3 roosters. According to the roosters it's morning all day - who knew?
I like this - Never belittle your achievements and be proud of yourself for your daily accomplishments, whether they be complex or Simply getting out of bed..... Good job I say!
Sometimes I think we get so hyper focused on certain things that we forget to take pride in the little accomplishments we have
@mytwistedsoul
Thanks 😃. Is your dog named snoopy? Lol... I bet he is 😂
That is very cool that you were able to tidy up the living room. We'd have a good competition to see who can make more messes while cleaning up, for sure! 😂😅😂😅
GOOD JOB!
