I achieved goal 1 and saw my case manager today.
Those are such amazing goals @redhead and it's incredibly well done that you've already achieved the first one. I'm so glad you're safe - hopefully your cm was helpful.
That's so exciting @redhead!!! I hope having your name changed officially makes you feel good 🙂 I'm so proud of you.

This is simply amazing @redhead. I specifically like the last one - self love.
It's becoming more apparent to me, practicing self love really does help with a lot of other challenges in life. What does self love look like to you? 🙂
How are you feeling after updating these goals?
And it feels good to have some updated from last time. I like being goal oriented
That's awesome @redhead, love the goals ! I especially love your long term goal to travel 
What are some places you have in mind?
I plan to take time off after uni to travel around Australia. I guess that's another goal.
Hi @redhead!
It's such a great idea to think about short term and long-term goals!
Changing your name sounds like it will be an exciting new chapter for you 🙂
I'm also studying psychology! Good luck with that 🙂 It's going to be an amazing accomplishment to have a psych degree under your belt!
These are all so good @redhead! On the point of feeling unsure aboutt you goal to get more stable, do you think it would help to turn it into a SMART goal (something specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and timely)? I find that sometimes helps for me if I get stuck.
Particularly loving the "learn self love too" part of the last goal 🙂
Hey @redhead,
You are really courageous to decide on some really great goals and share them with us.
I find that writing goals down can be really helpful and make them seem more real.
I am currently in my Psych honours and my goal is to get into masters, so I can relate to the difficulty there!! If you have any questions about that part of your goal, let me know and I would be happy to help 🙂
That's a pretty awesome list @redhead well done! Good building blocks in there, kind of small mid and large goals. What would you say is the most exciting goal for you personally in that list?
Is there a way you can screengrab this and keep it in your camera roll for when you're feeling a bit lost etc? Well done, it's so good.
Most exciting (and prob most difficult) is name change stuff. I put paperwork in 10days ago so it's just waiting approval then actually changing everything which is going to be a pain but definitely worth it.
These are some super amazing goals @redhead i think it's particularly amazing and courageous that you are putting in for a name change. That's a big and exciting step!
What's next with these goals? How are you going to work towards them and how can we all help?
