[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!

Hi all! I am an easily distracted idealistic professional procrastinator
Also a spoiled kid who's had everything handed on a silver platter till now
My goal is to figure out what my goals are
If there's any person in here to whom this sounds like their cup of tea,would you be willing to help me out for a couple days?
@helpfulCat5200
@helpfulCat5200 I would love to help you if it is not too late! You can PM me whenever you'd like and I'll try to reply as soon as possible. :)
I think that if we work together on this, we would be able to figure out a lot of new things of interest to both you and me. I look forward to your response.
Regards,
Natasha

That right there is where you can find me :)
My goal is to become a phycologist so I can help people overcome what I am going through.
my only goal at the moment is to make it through
@onelover I understand from decades of struggling with emotional instability how hard it can be just to get through some days.
If you want to compare coping strategies, I would be glad to share.
My goal is to quit my job.
My goal is to visit my father in Jamaica. I haven't seen him in 8 years.
My goal is to become TESOL certified & teach english in a foreign country.
@yallahs
hello there
I admire your goals, have a similarity with them and would LOVE to help you see them happen
What do you say?
PM me if you want me to be your listener
Hi!
I don't think it's that inportant, but I haven't cut in 2 days and I want to make that 2 a 10.
And I also want to eat like a normal person.
But baby steps right?
@TheLostOne026 You said 'I don't think it's that inportant, but I haven't cut in 2 days and I want to make that 2 a 10.
Yesssss! It is important because you can decide it is important to you! If u have ever cut daily then 2 days is an improvement, right?
If you don't get a listener soon, try posting on your feed. I posted on my feed and 3 offered to help me in my 1 specific goal.
Good luck! :)
@MsT Yes... I used to cut dialy and I really want to do it but I won't.
Thank you for motivation
@TheLostOne026 You are welcome!
@TheLostOne026 - I would be happy to be your listener, if you're still looking! Feel free to PM me. :)
I want to get through a week with ouch crying over pain and I want to overcome my lack of appetite.
@Kissandra510That is great...please pm me if you haven't contacted another listener yet:)
Another goal would be to get people to care about me. I mean truly care.
If anyone reads this and wants to help then I can just chat with me anytime. Just be real and nice. I get super lonely
@Fear333 I know what you mean. It is funny this has been one of my goals. I kind of gave up on it and just said forget it and threw myself into being a listener.
Funny thing happened, the more I cared for others, the more they cared about me. Want to discuss this further? Send me a message
