Re: Hi
Date: Tuesday, December 3rd, 2024 08:42 pm (UTC)That sucks.
>> Yes, I read your annual posts about goals and think -- gee, I need to do that. LOL. <<
Yay! I'm glad I could inspire you.
... don't try to emulate that whole thing. It is the product of many years of trial and error. If you look at the older year versions, you can see how it has evolved over time.
Start with something smaller and simpler that you think will work. Test it. Keep what works, fix what's broke, and try new things.
>> And yes, if I can manage to make a few goals to track, I will definitely post about them.<<
I look forward to seeing that.
>> I'm also in therapy and I need to start journaling for that as well (those will probably be locked posts).<<
Think about what you want to keep locked online, what should stay Secure On Paper Only, and what isn't safe to record at all. Many people on DW use a mental health filter so they can converse with a few friends about their healing journey. That's an option if you want moral support, but don't want to share everything with everyone.
