Hi everyone! Saw the announcement and immediately ran here.

My question is this: do any of you have any goals that you've been actively working on?

For me, I've been trying to work on my GED that I abandoned a decade ago. Signed up for courses and everything.

Another thing I am trying to learn is more about Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and how that can help me learn how to cope with stress.

Finally, I have major ADHD so I've been trying to do note-taking in my day to day life. Started journaling, taking notes on Youtube videos I watch that I think are important for me to remember, habit tracking, so forth.

How about you? What are you trying to do to better yourself?

I need to lose 50 lbs. Went through a medical event and was on steroids, which did a number on me. Dieting doesn’t work, what works is exercising. But I’m not sticking to it… yet. I lose some, then slack off on the exercise. Sigh…

It's hard to keep motivation, especially for something where results are not normally immediate. It's overstated at this point, but if you can get an exercise buddy it helps so much. You've got this!
