Re: Setting appropriate goals.
DEar @Former-Member
Yeah, I like athe smart goals too. I've been struggling with " Who I want to be.........."
@t the beginning of this thread.....@Durango's message got me thinking......
@Durango writes:
I've cut and pasted his message:
.........................................................................................
Goals really are just a list of things to do
have a goal, make a plan, take small steps,
"What kind of person do I want to be?"
I feel like I am being true to my self".
In this case it would be difficult to follow a plan that makes the person feel like they need to
let go of security, spend time away from people they love, give away some freedom for
financial gain etc.
make sure the goals align with who you are.

No, I don't want to be rich but yes, I'm loking forward to getting my carer's payment
tomorrow because Im paying off my patchwork quilting stuff to be taught to patchwork quilt next week
I ask you: How can WE determine who we are? I know that AGE has helped me with this one.

Re: Setting appropriate goals.
I am not sure about the who I am question. A couple of things that helped me feel better about myself was writing a list of my good things and thinking about what I enjoyed before I met my partner.
I hope you enjoy your quilting
It is something I would like to try one day.
You could let me know how you are going.
Cheers

Re: Setting appropriate goals.
Hello,
I thought I would resurrect this post because despite various frustrations along the way I have indeed come close to completing the goal that I set when I did CBT a few years ago and am going onto the next step towards a new career for myself.
I want to thank everybody that helped me along by responding to this post.
@Durango and @Claired your advice about working towards acceptance were very appropriate. I think that accepting ourselves and our loved ones for who we are is part of it all and necessary for going on and doing our own things without worrying about the next breakdown happening.
@Shaz51 I hve a special thank you for you for continuing to think of me and all the great support you give here on a continuing basis it is a great gift.
cheers,
Carer101.
