[OLD THREAD] Project Achieve Your Goals - 18+
Setting goals is the easy part...reaching them can be more challenging!
Having someone support you in reaching your personal goals can be incredibly helpful. Today, wed like to announce a new community program aimed at helping you reach your goals.
Well need both listeners & members to make this happen! Here is how you can get involved in this project:
Members:
Step 1: Post a goal youd like to work towards in this thread. Be specific! Goals work great when you can make them measurable. Usually that involves a time period and a number of times. Additionally, you want to start by making goals achievable. Do not make your goals too hard or you will grow frustrated and not be able to reach them. Much better to make them easy to accomplish to build your confidence right from the start.
examples:
I want to cook dinner for myself 3 nights per week
I want to go to the gym 1 time per week
Take 3 growth path steps every day
Step 2: Specify if you'd like a listener to check in on you 1 or 2x/week.
Step 3: Wait for a listener to reply to you! They will reply and let you know they will support you reach this goal.
Step 4: PM this listener to get going! They will not be able to support you by checking in on you if you do not first PM them. If you find that a listener has not followed up, then please post again and request another listener.
Step 5: Post your progress each week in this thread and also on your feed so more people can support you in achieving your goals.
Step 6: Once you have achieved your goal and the new behavior or habit has been consistent for 21 days, then apply for the Goal 1 Badge. We'll likely have several goals, so there will be Goal 2, Goal 3 etc. (Feel free to help us come up with better names!)
Listeners:
Step 1: Wait for members to share their goals in this thread! When you see a goal/member youd like to support, reply to their forum post and let them know!
Step 2: Once this member has messaged you and established connection over PM, its your job to better understand the members goal, why its important and what you can do to best support them.
Step 3: Make a commitment! Check-in with this member twice per week and enquire about the goal!
Step 4: Let us know how you and your member are doing! In this thread, we will track your progress as team. Post here to let us know how it's going!
Step 5: After your member has reached their goal, let us know and apply for the Coach badge. More details on this soon!
EVERYONE PLEASE MENTION IF YOU ARE A TEEN OR AN ADULT
It's very important that you mention this so that a listener from your age group can get back to you. Please don't forget to do this.

my goal is to never again fall as far as I have in the last 2 years. Never again.
One day, I want to feel confident and fearless. I don't want these dark days to be nagging at me like they have been for past few years.
@KataB951
Let's make a plan!
I'm always available by PM.
All my love,
Lee.
I want to be myself. Feel important. Good enough. i want to be happy. I want to have a reason to live. I want to get better. I want my mind to be happy. And i know someday ill be able to do this. I just need some motivation.

My goal is to b Art teacher in abroad, especially with elementary children. I dont have any qualification in Art but I've commerce bachelor degree.
I was good at drawing but I never consider it. But when I actually start working I realise if u r not interested in ur work, u wont feel satisfaction from it. Its been 6 years I havent done job out of frustration. But after talking with people here I m changing myself step by step. I was hopeless but now Im optimistic.
Right now, I m working on my skill drawing n painting. n also trying to improve my English.
I really wanted to do something in my life so I can feel proud of myself. Thatswhy I set this goal. I dont know what have to do n how to, I m just doing whatever I feel like.
If u can help me, just drop me msg.
Thank you.
