Hi everyone! Saw the announcement and immediately ran here.

My question is this: do any of you have any goals that you’ve been actively working on?

For me, I’ve been trying to work on my GED that I abandoned a decade ago. Signed up for courses and everything.

Another thing I am trying to learn is more about Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and how that can help me learn how to cope with stress.

Finally, I have major ADHD so I’ve been trying to do note-taking in my day to day life. Started journaling, taking notes on Youtube videos I watch that I think are important for me to remember, habit tracking, so forth.

How about you? What are you trying to do to better yourself?

  • I need to lose weight! My work is in food manufacturing, which has been better for the wallet than the waistline! It’s frustrating because I’d been doing really well until a couple of years ago, when I injured my foot and couldn’t do all the walking and exercise I used to. Then my foot got better but menopause came right along, and I just can’t seem to regain my previous form and fitness. I’ve been trying to take a “baby steps” approach to exercise and diet, but with the kids, my work, and a husband with permanent ongoing illness/disability I seem to always find an excuse to not stick to a plan. At the moment everything happens in fits and starts.
