[OLD THREAD] Project Achieve Your Goals - TEENS!!!
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!
My goal is to smile and laugh more. Appreciate life the way it is, and not to ask why me so many times. I would honestly love to be that person one day.
@Thamakali what a lovely goal to move towards! I would love to support you with this. Feel free to PM and we can give it a go!! :)
Oh yes!, I would like to have some support in my progress to achieve my goals. Because i have never gotten anywhere close to it.
1- I want to learn to love myself
I'm already in my 30s. One of the main reasons why i'm so miserable all the time is because i never really knew how to care for myself. Then i realize how can i ever be happy if i don't love myself? My lonely life is also the cause of my misery.
2- I would love to get a job and stick with it
I have been through so many unpleasent experiences when it comes to work. I can never work at 1 place for more than a few months which is really stressing me out. I feel so frustrating because the work that i do is simple and low paying job but i can't even seem to do it well. And since i have very low self-esteem, i hardly get along with my workmates, i never manage to make any friends and but i always get bullied instead. I feel so depress sometimes because i just don't know how to get it right.
3- I need to build my life ALL OVER AGAIN
I'm just struggling to build back my spirit because i have been through years of pain/illness. I lost almost everything i had before.I lost my job, the 1 person i thought cared about me left me. I also lost the only friend that i had. I have a family but nobody cares about anybody in my family so it doesn't mean anything. I'm really lost and depress, i'm afraid of living alone having nobody that i can rely on as it is. I feel broken inside and don't know how to pull myself together again but keep crashing down again and again.
Sorry if it sounds too much. But it would really help to have somebody to help me out on this mess. Thanx a lot
