Set your intentions, goals, aspirations for the week

A thread for any goals or intentions for the week since it's Monday (at least in the US). You can update them every day or midweek or whenever.

For this week it'll be: don't burn out, don't burn out, don't burn out. Also, have less pressure to be social at all. Spend less money on takeout. Maybe one or two days this week.

Yeah I should try and spend less too -it's been crazy lately.
Do the first week of rebel business school, while treading the fine line of participation and pushing comfort zone, but not so far I flip out.

It's a very very narrow window.

Also meditate for 30 mins each day, without fail.

Go to the gym daily, make dentist appointment, follow through with dinner plans this Friday, make the most and indulge in enjoying the remaining 12 days of guaranteed peace.

Don't freak out over the increasing workload. Just take it one project at a time. Freaking out begets more, worse freak outs. Be like the squirrel. One little acorn at a time.
workout six days in a row, work more, buy some concert tickets, eat healthy while keeping protein intake high, spend less time on Reddit, start playing guitar again
Reduce my sugar intake.

(update) - skipped a cookie with my sandwich at Jimmy John's. And I LOVE their cookies.
(update) - didn't buy more vitamins laced with sugar when I ran out 2 days ago.
(update) - exception - had cake for mom's 91st birthday at the memory care facility, but skipped the candy on the way in and out.
(update) Should not have made the birthday cake exception. Had several misses after that, but back on track again now.

Survive, stop coughing up blood, make it to the bowl in time so I have less kidney pain, hope my wrist doesn't blow out again. . .
Quitting my job. Quitting would alleviate so many of my mental afflictions right now especially since my bosses are handing me more, unwanted responsibility because of their failure to hire and properly train whomever they do get in the door.

Quitting probably won't happen soon but it is my goal and that's what this thread is about. Setting goals.

Weekend update: I did burn out by Friday. Had to call in for a couple of hours and was not feeling Friday at all. But thankfully, Saturday wasn't spent in a complete fetal position trying to recover. Next week is a short week and I plan to spend my remaining one day off by doing laundry annnnd... If only laundry, then just that task alone. Because screw lunch prep. I will survive on snacks, coffee and stale pizza tyvm.

I have a week off after this week, so I'm just trying to coast through the next five days. I've also been off working out a couple months due to injury. If I can make it through this workweek without making it worse again and through my vacation I'm going to start back up with some easy stuff the following week.

Sorry to hear about injury! What happened? (I'm taking it easier than normal atm too, lots of niggles!)

I want to stay away from sugar. I've been eating so much of it lately and it's not healthy.

Going out to skate everyday whenever possible. I think in restarted last Tuesday and went out the Friday, Sunday, yesterday and this morning. On that first Tuesday I did a lot of pushing round the park and really still feel it. Everytime I go out I practice switch as you can end up with pelvis misalignment; so I'm trying to balance it out.

Set up my new printer, do some vacuuming, break in my new shoes, make dentist appointment, make dog appointment, cancel insurance on stolen car, take walks daily, indulge 🍹🌲 daily until Saturday, try to make the best out of the remaining days until Saturday evening's arrival.

I just want to make it through this workweek, practice painting, and play my game. Maybe clean/organize the apartment a bit.

I'm not 100% sure. Thanks to our healthcare system here I can't afford to keep trying to figure it out. What I suspect is an abdominal muscle tear. I've narrowed it down to a couple incidents last year and I think just overuse at work after that kept making it worse and worse.

I've had a CT scan, a food allergy test, and an ultrasound done and they all came back negative. And just those 3 tests cost me a little over $4000 out of pocket. Doctor wants to do an MRI next because he says that'll show if there is actually a muscle tear, but I just don't want to pay thousands more at this point. Taking it easy seems to make it better, so I'm just doing that.
For this week and ongoing indefinitely: I am going to buy only the products of small local independent British businesses from the small local independent shops, paying for everything with cash notes and coins! :)

The conspiracy that used to target me in and around my town is not a problem for me anymore. One shade (which is what I say instead of day, now) all the abusive behaviour and attempts to control me simply stopped. I know that the reason why it all stopped is my powers -- but I am so happy and relieved that it has stopped that I don't want to talk about this; I have simply accepted that they are all being very nice to me now.

I am a nice girl, and I am not corrupt or nasty. I still reside independently on benefits, doing my own cooking, cleaning, shopping, etc. I have no friends and no love interests of any sort. There is a woman at one of my favourite cafes who looks pretty much exactly like Brec Bassinger if she had the body of Melissa Benoist, but I simply order my food and drink from her and try very successfully not to stare at her unless she is obviously not able to notice that I am doing it (and even then I feel guilty for doing so). I hope that people understand what I am saying.

Some people will know of my all-aspects plan to defeat the CIA, banking mafia, and military industrial complex with what I called strong personal economic and political choices. (Basically only buying grown-in-Britain and made-in-Britain products of small local independent British businesses from small local independent shops, in person, face to face, paying for EVERYTHING with cash notes and coins -- including paying ALL bills in cash.) It occured to me recently that since the CIA, banking mafia, and military industrial complex is no longer any sort of threat to me personally -- assuming that it was them who used to be targeting me, since I never actually found out for sure because of the secrecy -- then I don't need to continue with my all-aspects plan for the purpose of compelling them to stop targeting me.

Even so, I have decided to continue doing all the same things anyway. This is because I am a superheroine. Reign The Superheroine. Meg The Worthy. :) (Meg like Cindy from Stargirl, whose actress' name I like to use because it references Morgana: one of my names, although I am nice!)

When it comes down to it, although it might be a lot easier to go back to the supermarkets and get out the credit card for contactless payments or whatever... I simply can't bring myself to do these things anymore. Not after having had a taste of the way it makes me feel to have gone all small local independent business and all cash in my shopping routines. I know that since I am The Goddess and since the world reflects and represents me and my choices, that I am doing good and making the world a better and safer place for everyone (including for myself). I still care about stopping a nightmarish future like Skynet from Terminator or the one from the movie Days of Future Past from becoming a reality. These people are not targeting me anymore, but I learned exactly what sort of people they are and exactly what sort of things they are prepared to do to those they consider to be a threat or essential resource: the sort of things I am sure they might do to all of you if it wasn't for them being afraid of how many of you there are, and if it wasn't for their inability to successfully suppress all of you at the moment if you as a group recognise the threat they could pose to you in the future.

They still have to be stopped. And the things I have been doing are good for a sustainable world in all sorts of ways. Anti-corporatist vegan/vegetarian environmentalism is simply a good thing to do, so as I said: I am going to continue doing all of it! :)

Intentions for this week, even though I may have failed the other week:
Drink less coffee, maybe switch out for tea.
Floss every single night or whenever the thought crosses my mind.
Definitely less takeout. Limit 2 times per week
When stressed, think back to vacation time. Or pretend I'm still on vacation.
(Not the best list and definitely not concrete at all but it's there)
