[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!
i would like support in reaching my goal. my goal is to allow people in and not keep my walls up
@bravePrune4654
Awesome goal
PM me if i can help you out in any way
@bravePrune4654 one way I let my walls down is to reach out to other people and reply to their forum posts https://www.7cups.com/forum/. It allows me to control how much I reveal and I focus more on their need rather than my skittishness about letting the wall down.
Chatrooms can be like that too. https://www.7cups.com/connect/groupChatrooms.php
If you feel like going out of your comfort zone and having a 1-1 chat, feel free to send me a message. https://www.7cups.com/@soulsings
Je me suis inscrit au défi 5-30-Équilibre et je trouve ça vraiment difficile. quelqu'un aurait t'il la gentillesse de m'accompagner dans ses trois défis, sur une période de 6 semaines?
I registered the 5/30 Health and Wellness Challenge and I find it really difficult. someone would it be nice enough for accompany me in those three challenges, on a period of 6 weeks?
@TortueDesBois

you got this
@maskedshadow
tHe link you shared is your referral link on social media... the link you mean to share you would get from going to your profile and copying the URL there
@maskedshadow What is your level of french?
@TortueDesBois
To be honest I don't know french
kinda wishing I had chosen French instead of Spanish as a foreign language in my university now lol
My goal is to not order food so I can lead a healthier lifestyle. I'm binge eating and since I usually only have healthy food at home, I would just order a bunch instead (and usually twice as much as I can even eat). I want to stop with this habit because I literally am in debt now because I order all the time and I can't control myself and also I have stomach ache half of the day. So my goal is to not order for the next 3 months and create a habit out of it so I will not fall back into it :)!
Came back here in 7cups, got an inspired again... hoping to post here again.... when I've achieve something!
Later guysss...
@ivel work hard :D! I send you my support! stay strong 
Personal Goal: In general, l want to be motivated live my life as a productive individual. I want to get into the habit of photographing everyday again, and reaching out to people I no longer see everyday.
Creative Fun goal: I want to start an online photography zine or at least be motivated to research and brainstorm ideas.
I'm writing a story and I have things in mind as far as the story goes and know what I want it to be about. I'm wanting to be descriptive in it. So if someone could help me with it and be descriptive in the story that would be great.
@snoweiey I am not a great writer but there is a great writer within you. You might find some of these links helpful to write the story

I have some specific goals related to making self-injections easier. Would love to a have a listener who can support me 1-2x/week with it!
@AffyAvo I understand and would be honored to help you!
@AffyAvo I would be honoured to help you
I would like to earn striaght A's this semester.
@lisa1026 I think that is a worthy goal. If you want to discuss possible options to get there.
@soulsings
i have to study non-stop
@lisa1026 Lisa yes studying helps but how we study and how we self care can also affect the outcome.
@soulsings how should I study
@lisa1026 for me an important part of studying is self care like eating well, exercise and doing things to help me feel good about myself.
Getting A's is great but sometimes that does not work out so it is best to not beat yourself if it does not happen.
Want to chat 1-1 about strategies? If so send me a message http://www.7cups.com/@soulsings
My dream is to become a doctor. I want to get into a medical college this year. For this, I'll have to study really well. I need a listener to talk about my struggles and progress.
