Share your weekly goals! Try to include updates :)

My goal for next week is to call a local Toastmasters chapter. I'm terrified of public speaking and I really need to overcome this. There is a meeting Friday, but I'm not sure if I'll be joining yet.

Update: Toastmasters

Here's an update on my goal for this week. I didn't call, because none of the local Toastmasters seem to fit my schedule. There is one in the next city over that would work for the summer, but It would be iffy during the fall semester. I'm feeling relieved and disappointed at the same time. I'll have to think of something new to challenge myself.

walking everyday

My goals for this week is to walk everyday. No specific amount of time or miles, I live near the lake there are plenty of places to walk (inlcuding around the neighborhood).
I know walking is a great excerise and its a way to help control anxiety.
I actually got out today and walked around the lake. I stoped and took pics of the lake and people water skiing.

So yeah this week I want to walk like this everyday, I even marked it on the calendar, lol

I may go back after dinner and see if I can get pics of the lake at night espically tonight I know people will be shooting off fireworks.

okay I think I said more than I should have.

By the end of the week I desperately need to update my resume, write a cover letter, and send it to a few schools asking for volunteer work. I desperately need to clock up volunteer days and hours as part of my university course by the start of October, otherwise I won't graduate. That is one part of the course the university left to us and I have definitely not been very successful at it. I feel like there has been a lack of help in that area, but I really do need to get a move on because I am scared of being such a high performing and serious student in previous years, yet I could be held back by something so simple.

I did manage to finish my resume and cover letter. I sent it to one school and emailed someone at another school I have worked at before. I wanted to send more, but I do have a good feeling about getting volunteer work at the two places I have enquired about volunteer positions. I will perhaps send out another letter tomorrow just in case, then wait Monday and Tuesday for replies before seeing if I need to send more letters.

My goals for this week are to get out of the house and do something. I'm planning on going to a museum tomorrow and then walking around a bit. I also want to workout at least twice this week, if not then at least go on quite a few walks. My last goal is to come up with something different and exciting for my fiance and I to do this coming weekend.

Great goals everyone! TaniaN, have a fun time at the museum! Keep up the great work shygirl114 and strawberryjulius! Veron, My motivation seems to also have gone down. It can be hard to get myself out, but leaving the house definitely seems to lift my spirits. JS86, best of luck on your search for volunteer work.

I've kept up with mine for the first two days of the week. I walked both days. Saw people were already on the trails, but forced myself to go. I attempted to smile around people during both days, but that's an area I really need work on.

Good idea for a thread.

- give a presentation today.
Done! It was a disorganized mess, but that's ok.

- met my new roommate, he is extremely social. He will be bringing his friends/gf over often. Should be a good way to practice social skills.

- tomorrow (Thursday), meet my cousin from California, go for a 2 hour drive to some place to get dinner and then drive back.

- weekend, 5 hour drive to X to see a childhood friend I haven't seen in 8 years.

EDIT: this week is unusual for me in that I don't usually do so much social stuff :)

Goals for this week:
1. Be on time for work. Difficulty: Hmm not too hard on paper, just gotta really be on to it with my sleep time.

2.i) Stay away from porn sites,

2.ii) Stay away from that other site,

2.iii) Stay away from facebook (unless facebook girl inititates contact...which I doubt :lol)

(These are serious goals btw. Goal #2 has become a problem because once I get home from work I don't know what to do with myself from 5pm till bedtime and it can drive me nuts sometimes.)

I've always wanted to keep a journal so I figure I will try to start blogging. I also will try to go to the gym at least three times, I've recently changed gym and I went to it for the first time last week and got quite intimidated by how busy it got so I left after about 20 minutes. I've also been putting off buying my new guitar because it involves playing inside the store, hopefully I can do that.

Great job everyone :yay Good luck with your goals for next week! Thanks SAgirl and Mind Games. I accomplished most of my goals. There was one day where I didn't go walking. I just didn't feel in the mood. My new thing for this week was using the computers at the semi-new public library. In fact I'm using them now, because I can't connect at home for awhile :(

I'll do the same goals for next week. I think the smiling one is a really good one to keep working on. I'm always nervous about showing emotion around people

My goals for this week:

1. Walk everyday in a place where I could meet people

2. Smile around or at someone at least once per day

3. Do something new

Results:

1. Be on time for work. Was 10mins late on Mon, On time Tues and Wednesday.

2.i) Stay away from porn sites - kept to goal on Mon and Tues and most of Wed :D

2.ii) Stay away from that other site - kept to goal on Mon and Tues and most of Wed

2.iii) Stay away from facebook - kept to goal on Mon and Tues and most of Wed

On Thursday and Friday I woke up sick and really couldn't care less about this goal. I was stuck in my room with many hours to pass so I did go on these sites. Also did not go to work on Thrus and Frid.

Still I'll be repeating these goals next week, although it may be more realsitic to give myself a limit of say 30mins on Wed night to visit them. Cold stopping is hard, since I can't seem to find any practical alternatives.
