Hello Queens!!
Thank you all for your patience as I didn't get a chance to post the weekly thread this morning.
For anyone not familiar or needs a refresher below are the ground rules of the thread.
This is a non-judgement free space. We want ppl to feel comfortable sharing what goals they are working on. If commenter feels that a goal someone is working on is too big please provide constructive feedback (no shaming) on how they can improve their goal
Please start a new comment when posting your goal and then ppl reply on to that persons goal. It makes it easier to be able to track it
A new thread will be posted every Monday morning and another new post on Sunday will be “reflections of the past week” where we will discuss the wins, challenges and action plans for Monday. So feel free to comment anytime throughout the week.
Goals can be in any area of your life that you’re wanting to level up. Some examples are health/wellness, career, school, friendships, hobbies etc
I want to handle my stress better this week. I want to limit my social media. To that end, I've deactivated Instagram after some experiences that just made me feel how cold, detached, and impersonal so much social media is these days. Why do I care what total strangers think of me? Some painful feelings of inadequacy have started to resurface, making me realize how little progress I've made in the area of loving myself. I'm still craving external validation. I don't feel I have the support I need in my life right now. I will have to go within and find strength and really lean into self-love and self-care. I guess that will be this week's goal.
Hi queens, I want to catch up on sleep this week so I feel less like a witch. 😆 This week will be about establishing better/any boundaries with things that are niggling me: my draining friend, my disappointing dad, housemate niggles. I’m also making some serious strides with house planning and will come to some decisions this week. X
Look for help to get an Islamic divorce from my toxic salafist 'husband'
Hey queens! I'm 4 days too late to join the thread, but I had a bit of an epiphany today at work, and needed some accountability. I've been feeling a bit lost lately, it has come to my notice that I am not living my best life. To that end, this week (mostly weekend) I'm gonna try to dial back on handling/thinking about other people's problems, and focus on my goals. Currently making a fresh schedule of goals, then I'm gonna try to go back to my old hobbies and see if there are any new interesting ones out there. More books/shows that I enjoy, more mindfulness. I know it's not going to be an overnight change, but I am feeling motivated. It's time for a new arc!
I’m about to finish one of my grad school classes, and will be done with midterms this week. Research has been going well, and I can’t wait to go on a trip with my mom in the next couple of weeks. I want to hopefully stop comparing myself to those who are engaged/married—it’s better to not settle in your mid 20’s that’s for sure. I plan on taking my daily solo trips to the city, with the goal of visiting each and every single museum there lol. I love art and learning something new.
Hi queens!
I'm feeling excited to find more focus in my grad school and grant work this week, with less procrastination and more focused work sessions.
I'm also enjoying more movement for my body this week than the past couple weeks, with more quick toning sessions, long walks & jogs.
