#easy goals
Weekly Progress : Working on Yourself
This series is to make it easier for you to become the person you want to be. Keep in mind that I’m not a therapist, and take my suggestions as you would from a friend.
Try achieving these goals every week. They’re short and doable, and it’s to increase your confidence, step by step.
To keep things simple, we only have 3 categories (external, mental and physical) which will have one goal each.
These are posted every Thursday.
External :
-Compliment someone today.
- It should be something that they can control, such as their shoes, how nice their hair looks, how they did a good job on X project.
- Refrain from talking about body shape, facial features (acne, etc), even if it’s positive. It could be a trigger point for them.
Mental :
- Sit cross legged on your bed as you face south east.
- Set a timer for 5 minutes.
- Close your eyes.
- Take deep inhalations and exhalations.
- Don’t respond to notifications and don’t get distracted for 5 minutes.
Physical :
- Do 10 minutes of light stretching.
- YouTube has a lot of options, choose something that adheres to your level of strength.
- Yoga with Adrienne, Satvic movement, Yoga with Bird are some good options.
Weekly Progress : Working on Yourself (2)
This series is to make it easier for you to become the person you want to be. Keep in mind that I’m not a therapist, and take my suggestions as you would from a friend.
Try achieving these goals every week. They’re short and doable, and it’s to increase your confidence, step by step.
To keep things simple, we only have 3 categories (external, mental and physical) which will have one goal each.
External :
- Check up on a friend or family member.
- Just asking, “how are you? Have you been doing okay?” shows that you care about them.
- Relationships are TWO WAYS! You can’t complain about someone not putting in effort if YOU don’t.
Mental :
- Let’s practice confidencetoday.
- To do this, we first must outline the kind of person you’d like to be.
- You’ll need a book / diary for this - in this series, you’ll write pretty often.
- Why? Having a game plan makes it easy to visualise and therefore carry out activities to help reach that goal.
- Create two lists, 1) qualities and attributes you think you have (honesty, integrity, etc) and 2) qualities of the person you want to be.
- Don’t be harsh on yourself. Write it down for yourself, no one will judge you. You’re allowed to write good things about yourself.
Physical :
- A HIIT workout, 15 minutes.
- Something to keep your heart pumping and blood flowing!
- YouTube, as usual, has some great options.
