Rec | GOALS

🫧

Recently realized that my girlfriend makes goals that are achievable and beneficial to her life and actually achieves them because that’s what goals are for. I have never made a goal i stuck to and achieved with it in mind and i’m realizing maybe it’s important to. This probably feels really obvious to everyone else but i’m almost two years out of consistent sewerslidal ideation tendencies and im still trying to reclaim my life and look forward and into the future instead of being forever trapped in the past #whenwillistopfeelingeleven

Start with goals that you know you can accomplish within a week or a month. You got this! Lofty and vague goals only hold me down at the end of the day and prevent me from actually doing things that make me happy and help me progress as a person

Thinking about: Goals

I ought to set myself goals. I've been feeling so fleeting, like I have a lack of control, I'm just being pulled in whichever way life pulls me. I find myself doing things because thats what I'm supposed to do, that's what would align best with the idea I have of what life should be. So today I was telling my boyfriend this, and he shared that I should set myself goals. That way, I'll feel a greater sense of ownership of what I do. I already do a lot of things, but now when I do something, it will be because it will help bring me closer to the goal I decided to achieve. As a result I know I'll feel greater satisfaction with myself, because I am living consciously. Like I DID THAT!!! I KNEW I COULD DO THAT!!! Is this what it means to reach a higher consciousness? Heres to being present in our lives 🥂✨

one thing at a time

just move towards one thing that makes you happy, one go at a time. if it becomes a pattern, think about what it is about the thing that makes you happy. move towards it, one diy, one event, one forum at a time. also know that you can reinvent yourself hundreds of times in this lifetime, so goals are arbitrary. what matters is that you spend most of your days with at least a bit or a lot of joy. oh also remembering that your career ≠ what fulfils you. sometimes we work just to have $$ to do what we really want to do (cook/draw/knit/make music etc). in the end, your life will be made up of many small moments, so just try to enjoy yourself. at least that’s how i do it :)

Getting a life

I've been in a rut since October and I have been too paralysed by guilt and depression to build back up. But I'm getting there. I'm in therapy to work through things and tackle some behavioural issues. I have a bunch of concerts on the horizon that I bought tickets to when I was Really Deep In It and just needed to fill my calendar with things to look forward to, and I'm starting to feel the excitement for them. Ive been resetting my wardrobe with some thrifted/second hand shopping and i'm going to a big vintage fair in The Big City near my birthday. The cats I live with are starting to trust me and I'm starting to be a better roommate, both in terms of being sociable and contributing to chores and such. I still have a long way to go, but considering that not even three weeks ago I could barely get out of bed, this is an improvement. I'm working towards the goals I have set to better myself, and I'm doing what I can to keep myself going while I work towards being capable of doing more good. I can't do better if I never Do Anything, so I need to trust myself to do things again 🤷‍♂️
