Goal: Show compassion towards H
[/color]-I will validate when speaking to him
-I will thank him 2x weekly for things I wouldn't have normally
- I will take deep breaths before responding to texts
- I will have S4 call to say goodnight when they are apart
- I will make eye contact when we see each other[color:#6600CC]


Goal: I will co-parent with the best of them
[/color]- I will put aside our differences for S4's well being when making decisions
- I will inform him of matters pertaining to S4 and ask his opinion
- I will reinforce my boundaries

- I minimise our differences for S4's well being when making decisions
- I politely and firmly inform him of matters pertaining to S4 and ask his opinion which I consider carefully
- I reinforce my boundaries
- I send pictures of milestones with S4 so he has the opportunity to feel included


Goal: Be a better me so only a fool would leave
- I continue to attend church on Sundays
- I update my weekly plans without fail
- I exercise 2x a week
- I catch up with my friends daily and see how they are doing
- I continue to make my home feel like mine




I added a couple of tiny finishing touches, I hope you like them. phrasing this way makes the brain accept in the subconcious as a done deal. Also sounds like PMA.

You are doing great on this

There are ways you can keep on improving these in November and December for example:

I enjoy exercising 2x a week and am getting much fitter

I have kept serenely calm with S4

You have a terrific start, Go get em......

Hi ep. I'm new to your sitch but your goals look and sound good. I can't give any advice as I'm stuck on setting goals and actually writing them down. But I'm here if you need to vent. Lol..

How are you feeling now that you've written down your goals?


- Nobody has ever learnt anything important from happiness and success; problems make us grow
- Consult your plan, not your feelings
- If you haven't set goals, how can you expect to achieve anything?
