[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!
Ok, here is my public goal, I need help figuring out how to sell a ton of books that have been sitting in stacks on my floor for 6 months. I was able to get them out of boxes and closets to see what needs to go but now they are sitting out in the open. I need the money so I feel it would be better to sell them than donate them. There arent any places to sell them in person where I live but Im not computer savvy so I get anxiety when I think about trying to get them online somehow......TIA
@oliveTiger5821 hello! i've been facing your issue (literally, like 2 days ago) and i know it gets pretty hard for you to sell your stuff online (which is fine!). please feel free to PM me if you would wish for me to help you with your situation! anyway. i believe in you 
you can do this!
Not Be Homeless, Jobless, Carless && Pregnant !! UHGHGHHGHG
@RyderBabyy707
Step by step, m'dear. I'm here for you, feel free to PM me if you want to talk about where you want to go from here.
All my love,
Lee.
Just a simple goal that I wish to build a habit for:
– Meditate 15 mintues in the morning
– Meditate 15 mintues in the evening (before sleep)
I wish I can stick to this simple goal for 30 days, and not be a perfectionist and add another gazillion goals till I get overhelmed and give up :-)
Any listerner with similar interests? ;-)
Thanks a lot,
@Darwi I would love to help you with this goal! :D
@Brightheart993, Oh thanks a lot :)
@Brightheart993 Can't PM you to work together on this because "This listener may only listen to other Teens". ;-)
@Darwi Aww man that stinks. I wish you the best of luck in achieving your goals though! :D
I'm trying to get ready for college in March... Nervous is an understatement >.<
@torialexandra hello! i'm in university/college right now, and i'd love to help you to ease your anxieties and any other goals related to college life! good luck :D

@torialexandra Aye! No Problem.
@torialexandra
It can be difficult when your starting something new. It can be a very anxious time. It might be good to try some meditation to try and ease the anxiety . It might also be good to discuss how you are feeling with your friends.
However if you would like to talk to some one here please feel free to pm me if you need to.
Best wishes and good luck in university
@ShyMap840 im going to look into meditation to try help with my anxiety.. Thanks x

hi @courteousSouth6438 - good luck on the interview.
If you want some tips here are a couple options:
Try to go over the website of the company and get clues of what they are looking for. If not remember what the advertisement or person you talked to said they need. Then take your job experience and write down how it prepared you for this job.
If you know someone that works there, they may be able to give a good reference.
Need to chat more about it - just send a message to me.
@soulsings Thanks for your tips.
The main goals I have right now are, 1. Getting good grades in my finals this semester and for the rest of my university life, and 2. Believing everything that goes on through my mind isn't necessarily true, and I can overcome them :D
@Whitepeace20 I can try to help you reach them! Do you want to PM me or do you want me to PM you?
@KatHellsing I tried messaging you, but it says you only listen to teens. Could you message me, if you don't mind?
@Whitepeace20 @kathellsing unfortunately, we adults cannot connect with teens at all :\ sorry bout that!
@buttonedprincess Aww, no worries. Thanks for letting me know :)
I hope to gain some good time management skills and have the guts to talk to a counselor in my school about my problems.
@SelinIndigo You can do it! That's what counselors are there for. I'm sure they would want to help you out! All the counselors I've had have been very kind, caring people. They will probably be able to help you with some time management tactics as well! :)
