Setting goals can help us to know what we are aiming to achieve. 

  • What long term goals do you have in your journal?

@soulsings You’re post made me realize that I need to rework my goals. It’s been some time since I last brainstormed that kind of thing. Life looks a lot different now, and most of my old goals can’t happen anymore. I’m having trouble thinking of any, and that’s worrisome to me. I’ve always had some sort of goal. 

Ok, I took a minute to focus. I know a long term mental health goal is to feel more at peace. And something I’m working on this week is to become more aware of how sometimes my actions prevent the very things I want out of life. I’m trying to focus on letting go and letting things unfold on their own. I’m afraid of what happens when I’m not on guard. I don’t like letting things unfold. But I’ll never be happy the way I’m going.

@PiecesOfWhoeverIWas I thinkk brainstorming in a journal or email to yourself is a great idea.

I don't think I've defined my goals very clearly. I have a general sense of, "I want to do X," but as soon as I set a timeline, I get so overwhelmed with anxiety that I can't do it anymore. It's like the deadline will kill me or something. I don't know how to set a goal and steps without also setting enormous pressure with the deadline for the steps.

@Zeraphim deadlines can be intimidating. I try to set easy goals as steps toward my major goal. If I want to write a story, then I set the goal to write 1-2 pages a day until I finish the story. If I miss  a day I try to schedule that for the next day early in the day rather than postpone it till later.

Maybe my goal is too big and I need to break it down into more steps.

@soulsings

  • What long term goals do you have in your journal?
  • What would you like to accomplish this week that would make progress on the long term goals?

I am working on patience when things start to become chaotic so I can keep a clear mind under high pressure. Practising patience with intentional waiting and meditation is helping me and a priority this week.

@soulsings I'm going to continue to be fabulous 😁 On a serious note, my goal for 2025, I don't think further, I go with the flow, is to just say yes to things, to nights out, to opportunities, to dance more, laugh more, appreciate the smaller everyday things that we take for granted, life is too short to continue saying no, worrying and missing out on new things and new adventures 🥰
