Wellness Accountability Huddles: Group Goals List Thread
Hi everyone,
Some of us requested to create a way to check back on each other's goals - this is our group goals thread to mention any notes of the things we are working on for easy referencing.
Please note that this is optional but may come in handy for your peers to track your progress!
We recently will be talking about SMART Goals too and have a shorter chat template to work with - feel welcome to post that too if you feel it will help out in the coming weeks.

I am very excited to see everyone's goals in an easily referencable spot. Looking forward to cheering you all on!
@SoulfullyAButterfly
Sadly, I've fallen by the wayside for the time being. 😏. But still encouraging others to stay the course.
And this is a great idea to do just that! It's Inspirational, KUDO's 
on the idea!
@IsayUncle We're here for you! Falls are part of the process
@SoulfullyAButterfly
Thanks, I know you guys are. 💚 🙂. Looking forward to seeing everyone else forge forward and succeed. 👍
@IsayUncle
I've seen you fall before and you don't stay down long.....you got this....
My goals:
- Wash my dishes every day
- Do one additional chore every day except Sunday
- Exercise 5 days a week
Purpose: to establish a balanced daily routine, and to tone my postpartum body so that I can safely run next year and so that I can enjoy the benefits of a good workout every day.
@easyScarf7950
Nice goals Scarf! Sending you well wishes! ❤️🙏
I am updating my goals to make them more attainable:
- Wash at least 2 dishes every day
- Exercise at least 5 minutes 4x a week
Oh, and do 3 additional chores each week.
@easyScarf7950
That is fantastic. I really mean that. 🤩. That's almost exactly how I started getting up out of my slump a year ago. It was hard but I started slow and I stayed at it and I'm doing a lot better today.
You can too! 
Thanks! My baby just demands my attention all the time and I've been feeling extra tired lately.
@easyScarf7950
That makes it more real but you can still do it.
I've never had any children of my own but I have nieces and nephews that are old enough to have the children of their own.
It's hard and it's normal that you're gonna be tired but you can do it. Do those little steps and don't beat yourself up if you're tired. That is just so very normal.
Try to eat healthy lots of greens.
My goal is to start an exercise plan!
@Mellietronx I haven't started it yet :(
@Mellietronx would you like some help making an exercise plan or your goal for it.
Yay! What kind if exercise ate you interested in?
@Mellietronx
A plan is a great way to start to get it done
Hi Mellie! Have you found an exercise plan? What results would you like to achieve?
@SoulfullyAButterfly
My goal for this week is to write down all my alters and what I know about them so I can start to understand myself as a whole better. I'll make this list and then continue adding to it as I learn more about each alter.
I'm also going to make a self care plan, where I write down the things I can do to take care of myself, and identify the bad coping mechanisms I have
So before I actually list any goals, I had a few thoughts regarding goal setting. I realized that it would be difficult for me, even impossible at times, to work on or achieve any sort of goal without the proper mindset or environment. So for me, I think the best thing to do would be to figure out how I want to feel, or what I can change about my environment (perhaps just a room, for example) before I start listing anything. By doing that first, my list will be more than just a list.

"Begin with the end in mind" Habit 2 of highly effective people :)
@IchooseLife79
"Begin with the end in mind"
This is a great quote.....I'm saving it for future reference.....thanks for sharing....
I have two main goals.
Exercise.
I want to loose some weight, improve my health and keep my body moving. I plan on walking in the park close to my house for at least 20 minutes while playing Pokemon go. I'll record this in my goal book and here. The weather hasn't been good yet but when there are fine days I will walk, at least 3 days a week. Exercise and loosing some weight is really important to me because I have chronic pain issues and I'm hopeful of some improvements. At this stage I have no end date as I have about 38kg to loose. So I will review this goal weekly and adjust as needed.
Eating
My eating is shocking. I sometimes have balance issues so standing in one place cooking is hard at times.
I plan on cooking at least twice a week.
Finding it harder to plan this goal.
@Faelwyn
Those are some awesome goals. Like you, I have issues with eating...for me, I don't really eat a lot all day and then at dinner stuff myself until I'm over full and miserable. So I really need to work on that....I understand cooking at home also....I don't mind the cooking, its the cleaning up part afterward that I hate lol.....but in reality, its being busy and running around all afternoon doing "life" things after work....when I get home, I really don't feel like cooking, especially if its after 6pm.....
It sounds like you have a good plan for your exercise....stay motivated, you can do this.....
Awww, a place to share and publicly declare goals and follow up with it
Goal 1: Reduce my space to the necessary
Goal 2: Exercise - yoga, swimming, gym weights, evening walks
Goal 3: Sort past documents
Goal 4: Brainstorm future
Goal 5: Read the books I have
Goal 6: Meditate
Goal 7: Train kitten
Goal 8: Apartment interior design, and follow ups with defects in unit and building
@powerfulOak2587, for follow up
@powerfulOak2587 sounds like you have a lot to work on. Please try to remember to be compassionate to yourself. Things take take and that's ok.
@powerfulOak2587
I agree with @faelwyn .....Be kind to yourself....there are a lot of
things you want to accomplish....May I suggest that each of those goals can
be broken down into smaller goals?.....I find most people, including
myself, set the bar for their goals too high....while most goals are
attainable, most people struggle because they try to do too much, too
fast, to reach that goal, and then get frustrated or quit because they feel they
have failed. Break the goals down into smaller chunks is my
recommendation.....for instance, exercise can be broken down to "yoga, 30 min on Monday" or "weights, 30 min on Tuesday".....and for read the books....set a goal of one chapter a night before bed, or something like that....then you are looking at smaller chunks that you can see yourself checking off regularly rather than a large goal that isn't getting checked off for a couple days or weeks, so to speak.....that is just my 2 cents.....
@CyclingThroughLife, @Faelwyn
Thanks alot. Yes I need to have it in small doable pieces. Else it is overwhelming
Updating my Exercise Goal to make it fit in with how busy I've been.
Tuesday and Saturday are my rest days. I need these days without pressure of an exercise goal to help my body recover from other days. Reason is health conditions.
Changing walking in the park to a step counter. Looking back over the past few months I've come with with a realistic starting point.
My aim for the first week starting today is to reach 2500 steps for every day except my rest days. Then I'll reflect on how I've been doing and increase by 500 steps for the next week if I have managed to hit this goal.
@Faelwyn Sunday 20th October 2500 steps achieved. Also cooked dinner, recipes I posted.
@Faelwyn
Congrats on meeting your goal.....celebrate those small victories....
@CyclingThroughLife thank you
@Faelwyn
I'm glad you broke down your goal into smaller parts....thats the whole premise of the SMART goal concept.....smaller parts make the larger goal feel more attainable, helps by making you feel better when you reach the goal, and doesn't cause stress or make you give up because you feel like you will never reach the end product.....I'm rooting for you.....
@Faelwyn Monday 21st October. Made it to 2500 steps today.
Looking forward to my rest day tomorrow as fatigue has hit from my health issues. A day of rest and relaxation and I should be OK to continue Wednesday as planned.
@Faelwyn
Way to go with your step goal....rest up and crush it again on Wednesday....
@Faelwyn Wednesday 23rd October 2500 steps achieved. Another busy day tomorrow so that should help.
I'm having an off day today.....I'm feeling pretty lazy as far as physical activities are concerned....I'm a very active person so when I get this way, it really messes with my head because missing my workout window isn't an option in my head....but today I am skipping the weight pile...I'm going to put my feet up and answer some threads and type out some things here in 7cups.....then I will work on my online class....while neither of things are on this weeks goals list, there are some things going on with work and life that have me out of my normal and a little bit stressed out so I'm going to just try to step back this afternoon.....maybe getting some things on paper so to speak, meaning in the computer on this site, will help bring some clarification to my brain.....I'm going to struggle later with the fact I didn't get in my daily workout routine but it is what it is.....
