Wow, all of you have great lists!

Now I guess I can put mine very simply because this program has brought to light a real issue for me and that is friends!

I need to work on letting people in to see the real me!

So I guess my real goal is to take time for friends....

I'm not sure how I will do that yet because I keep people away so they won't see my fear.

I guess I will start small and do what I can!

I'll have to think of some ways!

Thanks for all your positive thoughts!

I have to actually decide what I want to do with my life. Which isn't as simple as working towards a goal.

WEll I have to get myself well again before I find a job, and I dont want to randomly take a job and then quit the next day, I want to know I will be ok and find something I really enjoy.

Members, These are all very great goals. It's so important to put things into perspective and to remind yourself of your priorities. Now that you have your list, what actions are you going to take to make sure these items become realised? Sylvie, Bilingual Health Educator

Hi guys!

Wow what a great topic.

Ok here goes:

1.I too want to learn to drive eventually.

2. Continue my schooling but in a healthy balanced way. I want to live while I study, not study until I get to live!

3. I want to take time for friends and family. I want to reconnect.

4.I want to fix my relationship with my husband. He seems to have heard me and has been really trying as of late. I want to leanr how to be happy with him. I want to learn how to communicate with him. I want to learn how to let him know what I need without criticizing him. I want to be more tolerant with him so that he may be free to be tolerant with me. Basically I want to fix things. I am not perfect neither is he. But we love each other and I want it to work.

5. I want to get healthy. I want to move and enjoy myself. I want to relearn how to relate to food in a healthy manner. I want to give myself the time to take good care of myself!

6. I want to do more activities with my husband. I would like us to play sports or something together. I also want more date nights with him, if possible. Now, he is a gamer and I will have to work around that. But in the past, my stress and my being a "workhorse" has prevented more fun together. I will rework my prioroties!

7. I want to finally master the bus! I am so bad at it! I am bad at any public (and most private) transportation.

8. I also want to learn to love myself just the way I am. I want to learn to love my body and myself in it!

9. For once I want to upkeep the good habits that got me feeling good again! I feel better then I stop! Bad idea.

10. I want to learn to just BE. I keep feeling like I must acheive and do things to be deserving. My mom keeps telling me I am precious just because I was born. I am precious because I am. But I find that tough to believe. I am a chronic overacheiver! I want to just be and accept that perfection does not exist. I don't want to be in the future or the past anymore. I just want to BE here in the present where it counts. I am worth loving just because I am.

11. Oooh Dm, I used tohave a gratitude journal. I should start that up again!

12. Finally I want to start singing again. Music is like breathing. It is food for the soul.

And there goes my list. Funny how we all have so much in common on there. I can recognize my goals though DB's, Minn.'s and Dm's lists!

Hey Dazed,

Great list. Like mine, it may take a while to conquer, but time is not something we're short of.

Practice what I preach...LOL... great at helping those around me... not myself...

I hear you on that one. I'm very much the same. I could give advice all day, but trying to get myself to live by what I say is something entirely different.

The journal's a great idea, too. And one I may adopt from you! I used to freelance write, as my job - so it's not that I can't write,

just that I never get around to it.

Working on self-appreciation is a good idea, too. Learning to love yourself - that's one I haven't mastered myself, either. But know that you're appreciated by all us on here. You're a wise, helpful and caring individual.

Take care,

Again another topic I like. You guys have set some great goals.

Mine are:

1. Learn to drive...Finally...LOL... enough with a learners lesson.. and stop using the Green Family excuse...one car ... no need

2. Learn to love my body... big tall short small ...whatever... Healthy is most important and I'm on my way.

3. Finally go to counselling for the ocd part... done the rest... never admitted tons of my behaviours out of shame... Now that they are in control I want to be prepared if they every flare up again....

4. Like thoughts attract like things... live by the secret and bring only good in... Negativity breeds negativity... YUCK...

5. Practice what I preach...LOL... great at helping those around me... not myself...

6. Keep a gratitude journal.... I truly have so much to be thankful for. I want to be sure I acknowledge that everyday.

7. Volunteer.... other than at my daughters school. Time to move out of the comfort zone.

8. Random acts of kindness... I've started this and want to continue this.

9. Tell my hubby how much I appreciate / love him more than I do. He is so able to love openly and physically that I have found that with this disorder I'm often to wrapped up in myself to give as much as I am capable of... or I don't even try at times. I want him to know he's amazing.

That's mine... seems kinda big... lol.. but I'm up for the challenges.. as most of them are pleasurable.

My personal goals are :

To get back to work at some point, 3 days a week I think is good for me to start. I hope to volunteer at the library a couple of hours a week, I think that will be a good help for me.

Get fit again - I joined a gym yesterday with my hubby, loose some weight and get strong again

I do use my bike a lot. I have one of those trainer things, never use it..going to get rid of it.

Get back to the busses - the busses are my escape from the car, but i'm still not 100 percent ready for long rides yet.

Go to visit my family in Toronto - probably only in feb/or march next year.

Get over my fear of flying, so I can fly to toronto, not take the train.

and lastly

drive again, I really miss being able to take off to the coffee shop or go places by myself.

My personal goals are:

Quitting my job. I'm about to be put on to state benefits next month due to my sick pay running out with my employer. (In the UK, you get 28 weeks of much much reduced pay from your employer, then a measly amount from the government until you're better)

So, if I go on benefits, I've got no need for my job, which I don't like... Well that's not true. I like my job - hate the people I work with. I've found out that I don't like working in office environments where people live off of gossip and being two-faced.

Find out what I really want to do with my life. This one's harder, since I feel pressured into not making the wrong decision and effectively trapping myself in something I don't want to do.

Learn how to drive. (Need cash for that...)

Spend more time with my family. (simple one? Not quite, they live in Spain)

Work on my relationship and spend more time with the person who has helped me most.

Not let get petty things get to me. I get irritable very quickly and it's going to take some work to relearn coping techniques.

Get fit. I've already got a cross-trainer, but never use it...

Stop smoking.

That's about it....
