Hello Queens!!!
Thank yall so much for your interest in this thread and for allowing this to happen (thank you @Astria for pinning these posts 😊). I’m so excited for us all to support each other on our level up journeys.
For those of you have may not have seen my original post. We are starting an accountability (level up group) in the FDS forum. Many of us have goals that we are working on and what better place for Queens to support Queens than right here!! Also anyone not familiar with accountability groups here is an article discussing its benefits https://www.developgoodhabits.com/accountability-benefits/
This is open to everyone and below are a couple of ground rules
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/ difficult to attain 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
To start, please feel free to list your goals/what you want others to hold yourselves accountable!!
The areas I’m focusing on is health/wellness, friendships, hobbies and spirituality —> consistently eating breakfast every morning (Rationale- I’m working on stabilizing my blood sugar and I notoriously will skip breakfast 🫢 to help me with my goal I saw new recipes that I’m inspired to make and I have an alarm on my phone to remind me to eat) —> tracking my basal body temperature (I’ve recently came across fertility awareness method- as I’m interested in the future practicing a natural birth control method). I haven’t been consistent temping every morning so I have an alarm set on my phone and the thermometer on my bed side table to use instead of far from reach) —> reaching out to 1 girlfriend/woman every week to do some sort of activity/catch-up (I’m trying to cultivate more women friends and so I want to intentionally create space to hang out and build new friendships. I’m hoping this will help foster better connections —> Do 2-3 Zumba dance classes (I love dance and I’m trying to get back into shape to hopefully start reaching in the fall. I also feel more alive and happier attending classes and so I want to be more consistent with taking classes. I’ll do this buy signing up for classes today based on my schedule to make sure that I do them —> write in my prayer journal at least 3 nights a week( again something that grounds and makes me happy but want to do more of)
1. Diversify my investments - I have more than 5 prospectus to read. Target to finish all this week. 2. Minimum 3 times gym a week. (Maintaining) 3. Apply new job (Unsure cause my current one is actually not bad) 4. Go church this week (Have been missing sunday church)
1- Pass my designation exam and put a study plan together. It’s 5 hours long and I seriously need to study and stop slacking 2- Keep working towards my fitness goals. I look amazing already but always want/push myself for more 3- Book a fun trip after I pass my exam 4- Sleep earlier than I do now and meditate more
I want to read every day, and practice better vocabulary in regular conversation. I feel like being at home during the pandemic ruined my attention span and small talk skills. 🙈
I’m concentrating on making new friendships (quality ones) and I’m doing 2 gym classes a week. It’s my second week doing the classes. Yoga and spinning. Great progress today as I got chatting to a lovely woman at yoga today. I really enjoyed the conversation and we had a few laughs too. Hopefully I’ll see her again. Not expecting anything but it’s really brightened my day and made me feel more optimistic :)
My first goal this week is to count my calories and avoid alcohol. Second goal is to finish 2 creative projects that are current WIP's. Been beating myself up about how long it's taken me to finish them.
I want to keep my lifestyle healthy and lose weight for my upcoming eu trip but I want to make the healthy food habit as a lifestyle not just a temporary goal to attain. As iam eating too much of sugar 2) study for my licensing exams 3 hours a day . 🥰🥰🤑
I want to commit to working out 3x/week.
I'm keeping it simple! I want to cook one simple dish a day. I spent the past few months eating out and my gut paid the price. Never again.
I love the idea! I am currently working on my MSc. Dissertation and my advisor is not the micromanaging kind, so I tend to leave everything for later. Ends up I haven’t done anything on the last month. I got covid in the meanwhile and I think it helped me to procrastinate 😩
I'm trying to limit my sugar and alcohol consumption. I just found a few no sugar dessert recipes that I want to try making. I have a big project at work that I need to finish by the end of the month so my goal is to finish half of it this week and the other half next week. I recently started going to a sculpt yoga class on Saturday mornings. I want to keep focusing on upper body and core workouts so I can feel stronger and have better posture.
Areas I am focusing on: Work - trying to hustle and get into higher paying positions, trying to take up more space in meetings with suggestions - I would like to make as much or more as my male coworkers Life: Trying to establish new friendships and explore old ones Health: Currently trying to eat more salads and get myself away from the work desk
