  I think those are great, realistic goals!!

  Mine are:

  1. finish my cert III, and start the cert IV in vet nursing
  2. obtain part-time work, preferably in the animal industry
  3. get over the writer’s block I have regarding my poetry; the best ones always come just before I fall asleep and don’t have a notepad. 3.1. get a pen and notepad for my bedside lol

    re: notepad. I am always thinking up great ideas while driving or, like you, before sleep. And it’s always “Ahh I’ll remember it.”

    Do I remember it? No.

  Great goals, and do-able!

  I think mine are:

  1. Develop an exercise habit of some sort. Anything, really, even just regular walking. I used to do heaps of incidental exercise (like riding my bike to work) but now I don’t, and I really need to do something to help with stress management
  2. Start to investigate other jobs. I’m lucky that I have a good job and work with (mostly) great people, but I’m pretty burnt out. But also nervous about change and not sure my skills are transferable.
     Sating ‘investigate’ makes it seem less scary, lol

    Change is indeed scary, but you got this. If I can do it, anyone can that’s for damn sure.

  1. Motivated some of these fatties on here to move more and eat healthier. Myself included. After I finish the tin of Danish biscuits on top of my fridge.

  2. More travel

  3. Support my daughter who will be doing VCE next year.

  • anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I’ll up for any motivation you can provide, lol

    And my kid’s also starting vce I should add that one, too

    • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Hahaha. Just letting you know it’s pizza night tonight because it’s that time of month and I don’t care.

  • danwritesbooks@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Oh VCE. Good luck to her.

    source

    • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Thanks. Good luck to me. She can be a nightmare at times.

  • LowExperience2368@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Good luck!

    What kind of movement do you think will float your boat?

    source

    • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Strength and resistance training

      source
• TinyBreak@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Probs a second kid, hopefully without the stress of making the first. Continue to save for my dream car. Improve overall fitness (good news there is I have a very low starting point so the only way is up!)

  source

  • danwritesbooks@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    What’s the dream car?

    source

    • TinyBreak@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      WRX, I am a basic bro haha

      source
• underwatermagpies@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  1. Get a new job.
  2. Lose some weight (such a cliche).

  source

  • danwritesbooks@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Nothing wrong with a cliche being a motivation point. Healthy life is healthy life.

    source
• MeanElevator@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  1. Try to get back down to around 100kg…currently at 110 so only need a few good shits.

  2. Take every course or training offered through work to beef up my CV and get a permanent higher position.

  3. Call out shitty and entitled behaviour in public more.

  source

  • danwritesbooks@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Have a major Xmas lunch and you’ll be right under 100 lol.

    source
• Duenan@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  1. Try and save money

  2. Be happier and less stressed about all aspects of my life.

  3. Be a touch more active.

  source

  • danwritesbooks@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Those are admirable and definitely achievable goals!

    source
• LowExperience2368@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  1. Run a 5km.

  2. Feel more certain about my career path by doing further study / getting work experience.

  3. Make at least one new friend.

  4. Make my retail job a secondary job.

  5. Cry fewer times than I did this year!

• useless_modern_god@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  I’m pretty settled in where we are now. Likely won’t be moving again. We have lived overseas and all around Australia (even Tassie!)

  It’s time to stay put for a minute and looking at getting some upgrade projects around the house completed. The new cladding was just finished off today and looks great.

  Laying low and avoiding drama. “ Being present “ as they say.

  source

  • LowExperience2368@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Where have you enjoyed living the most and the least?

    source

    • useless_modern_god@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Melbourne is the best and Darwin is good but it takes a special individual to embrace that small town heat full time.

      source
• Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  1. Date more
  2. socialise more
  3. perform live more

  I’m a simpleton lol

  source

  • danwritesbooks@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    What kind of performing do you do?

    source

    • Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I’m a musician. So it’s a split between solo stuff and playing in bands.

      I sing and play guitar.

      source

      • danwritesbooks@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        That’s so awesome. Good luck with it. I hope you do take the plunge and do more.
