Daily goals, motivation and check in

[frog]

I'm pretty drained after a taxing week.

Today I have a lot on, and am trying to prioritise what matters...

• Supporting my son who has also had a tough week
• Visiting my daughter and making chai for us. She's in the thick of exam revision
• Long walk for me
• Dog is bugging me to go for her walk so that's next!

Everything else will have to fit around that, or else wait.

I have a friend who says you can only do what you can do.

@BryanaCamp good idea with the soup. Homemade is worth the effort!

Hope today goes your way @Teej @Appleblossom @Shaz51 be kind to yourselves.

Everyone setting goals today, and/or looking to boost motivation - good on you!

well done for getting through a tough week @frog . You sound like a very devoted mum (or dad, apologies there I'm sorry I don't know your gender), you're good to take care of your son & daughter's well being.  Dog walking sounds nice, what kind of doggy do you have?

Great idea to prioritise, what you can't do today can wait till tomorrow. As my friend says, "the dishes won't grow legs and run away anywhere!"

Morning all on the thread @Teej @Appleblossom @Shaz51 

My lentil soup turned into a bit of a mission & took all arvo but it's done now & I have a huge pot of it so it will keep me going! I'm feeling happy this morning as I got up at 8am, that's a good start. I'm off to a movie with my women's group. Then I need to pay some bills at the post office and keep up my exercise & do a walk. And my kitchen is a mess so I want to get onto that today. Got a health-cookie recipe that I'd like to try if I have the energy, it's finicky so I'll see how I go.

Good luck with your goal setting, accomplishments & self care today all.

Hugs for the day ahead @frog. You can see what really matters to you in your post. Your kids (and dog) are lucky to have you ❤

Hey @BryanaCamp. I'm a bit jealous of your soup (I feel like this is something I have experienced before 😉). It's been so, so cold here. I heard it was the coldest May day in 20 years the other day and it is very soupy weather. Go you for getting up and going at 8 today! Hope the day ahead is a good one.

I'm trying to motivate myself to get up and moving now too. I've been doing that for about 4 hours after a long night of wonky sleep 😐. I'm off to my volunteer gig today and am not really feeling totally up to it. I think it will be great when I get there, but my brain is a bit 🥴 (fried) and I'm feeling pretty 😨 (blue). Plus little sleep has me very tired and slow today. One more coffee...

Hope today is kind to all ❤

How did your day pan out ... @BryanaCamp sounds like you had a good balance between hard work and social planned. Hope the day improved @CheerBear lack of sleep gets me every time.

Hearing you about sleep issues @frog 

I did not sleep til after 4am.

@BryanaCamp Love your soup story.  I made it a habit and have never looked back.  I never make a little soup. Its always hearty, in big pot and stretches for at least 2 meals.

Reminds me time for another.  I have to find more keto soups these days so have adjusted my cooking, from ole tried and troo recipes.

Today it did not look as if I did much, but I may have found a great gp, well suited to my needs and personal style.  I have been around and am long in tooth, but I have the best feeling after first consult with her. She seems a rare find so therefore a huge TICK on my goal list.

Cheers All

[Sans911]

Sounds good @Teej

[Teej]

Thanks @Sans911 . What is on for you today? How far off was I on my other post 😜

[Sans911]

You were fairly right @Teej. Sometimes my Saturdays are busy all day, but not today. A calm, quiet morning still in bed. I'm fighting the urge for more sleep right now. Then I have 4hours at the op shop this afternoon.

Tommorow I have nothing planned at this stage except studying for my upcoming exam. Weekends are very difficult for me as I hate being at home, yet I hate going out as well.
