Hi everyone,

It's been a rough past few weeks for me, and I'm trying to play catch up everyday with something new. So sorry for the late goal setting thread, but please feel free to jump in and set any goals. bocaburger, I know you set some great goals and I'm pulling for you, hun.

Please remember trigger warnings and follow the following format:

Short/long term:
Why is it important?
How am I going to accomplish it?

Thanks icequeen! So sorry you're having a rough time.

Last week my goals were:

1. Organize my closet
2. 7-9 hours of sleep/night
3. Daily exercise

I did organize my closet, which I feel really good about, AND I organized the bathroom (our shelves/drawers were overflowing with crap).

I did medium on my other two goals and will continue to work on them.

One more short-term goal: Make it through this weekend without falling apart.
This weekend is the bris (Jewish circumcision ceremony) for my best friend's baby. It is going to be REALLY hard for me to get through it. H won't be there and I will have to see the baby (and at least one other baby that I know will be there) and watch everyone ooh and aah about how beautiful and wonderful her little family is. She's my best friend and I'm happy for her but the dynamic is going to be pretty tough on me. Her pregnancy announcement triggered a very serious panic attack and about 2 months of debilitating anxiety, and even though I've worked through it this is still a trigger for me.

ETA how I will accomplish it:  Make a plan for before/after the bris.  See if a friend will go out to coffee with me beforehand so I don't panic getting ready and end up not going.  Make a fun plan afterwards - maybe go to the movies?  Go to yoga in the afternoon.
