[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 (again^^;;)
My goal is to create an emergency crash system before I engage in anything more difficult,like finding work or engaging in anything that involves responsibility,since I have the habit to crash at the worst times.
Since it's not a very 'real' thing,I need someone to show my progress to,and to convince me I need it when I start thinking I'm crazy
Sorry for posting again,but I've tried to do it on my own way too many times,and I always get distracted,or end up abandoning it because it doesn't seem important enough
@helpfulCat5200
i'm sure you will do it
Pm me if you need any help and I'll be happy to help out
My goal is to try and get through all my classes every week. I have problems getting to all my classes and it makes me fall behind and ruins my grades.
@Megmce I would love to help you with this.
My goal is to put myself first for a change and not be so hard in myself
@tjb28
that is a very nice goal
self care is important to grow
i wish you all the best in your endeavour and just PM me of you need anything
My goal is to become a bit more motivated and to be a bit more positive.
@Sinclare
All the best with your goal
i hope you get as positive as a proton
my nerdy jokes apart, PM me if there is anything that i can help with
@maskedshadow
Thank you, I will keep that in mind. Also I liked your nerdy joke.
My goal right now is to finish my thesis in time, without stressing myself out! (I have exactly 3 days to do it) :(
My goal is to love myself
@Byourself
what a marvellous goal
Somwtimes we get so caught up in the hustle and bustle and in thining about others that we forget about ourselves
sometimes we forget to look at all the marvellour things that we have achieved
I hope you achieve your goal
here's to spreading the love around starting with ourselves
Pm me if you think i can help in any way
My goal is to trust my boyfriend because he deserves it and to not let my fears hold us back
I hate 7 cups they banned my account without any reason i have helped hundreds of people but they need to understand some people report listener unnecessarily and i lost all my friends on 7 cups
I am sorry that people have difficulties with maintaining the community guidelines at 7cups. . I got a warning once for lack of empathy. It was helpful and I used that as a time to reflect on how I might improve as a listener.
I try not to get so comfortable at 7cups that I start to think that I can violate the guidelines and not get caught. Sharing personal info is a serious violation of guidelines along with other conduct.
Part of the reason 7cups is not the wild wild west feeling like other websites is they strictly enforce the guidelines. Only serious violations of the guidelines are punished with banning. Here are the basic types of flags that alert people for posting to forums and similarly for 1-1 chats. (Yellow flags- needs improvement, orange flags – about chat content, red flags- offenses against 7 cups missions and rules)
There is a guide to the different severity of offenses and the corresponding punishment. Maybe someone reading this can provide a link as I am not sure of it.
I'm still looking for someone to help me with food issues, I posted back in December. Did did ok for a while but now finding it hard by myself and I could realy do with some support
