[MEGA] What is your goal for today?

I'm going down to a local scooter (the old Italian ones) club meet today, it was the one thing I'd managed to start doing to improve my social life but it fell to the wayside after a 2 wheeled accident 3 months ago. Apart from work and family I really don't see anyone, I like my own company more these days but it's still good to push myself a bit to meet new people.
 
my goal is to drink 4 beers and play my guitar for a while. im working through a book of classical guitar pieces.

Always good to do that atm :) I've always found meeting new people to be an effective tool to happiness.

It went OK I suppose considering how bad I am in general at the whole friends thing and how long it's been since I've made any effort.

My social anxiety was worse then I expected but I stuck it out, I have one potentially close friend in that group. I knew him many years ago and then lost touch but I was chatting to him last year and opened up a bit about my mental health issues and it turned out he had been having some problems himself.

I really need to be making more of an effort, I pretend I like being so isolated but it's not entirely true.

Hope everyone had a good day:)

I definitely can relate to this. I constantly battle with myself whether I want to be alone or want people around. I've come up with the conclusion, that I like my alone time but I need people around sometimes, but they have to be the right people. That becomes tricky when I won't let people in so I know if they are the kind of people I want to be around or not. I need to just let myself out there and get to know people, but that's soooo much easier said than done.
 
I think my goal will be to focus on how I'm so much better without drugs and how much I'm capable of turning my life around if I stay off them :)
 
- Get my ass out of bed! Skipped classes today because I'm a lazy bastard ;)
- Go to my bank and ask them for an overdraft loan. I had some exceptional investments this month and am totally broke, and I have a new job in december, so it won't be a problem to pay it back
- go to my gp
- prepare classes for tomorrow
- ask someone to help me move my furniture into the other room
- call my ex-gf to grab a coffee. we have to have a serious talk...

Let's do this!
 
To ask for knowledge of the next right thing to do, even in the face of crippling adversity. By doing so, I know I will end up where I need to be.
