The DB/DR books recommend that we set small term goals to track our progress & to give some focus, I thought it might be nice to share our goals in one place & even have some help/encouragement when setting them?
I try to look back at mine every 2 weeks and see if they've been achieved and then either tweak or set new ones.
Anyone with me?!

1/ H to show me some respect - This had gone out of the window again recently so i've gone back to an early goal. 2/ Listen & validate - I need to work on this again as i've slipped recently, need to STFU! 3/ More relaxed interactions - We've had very low contact recently so want to see if we can be more relaxed when interacting.

1. STFU/validate more. 2. More casual time spent together (his initiation) 3. Be more compassionate (although I think that's something to "learn to become" rather than "do".)

1.My H served me two weeks after BD, my main goal has been to handle this with dignity nd integrity. I have done this so far, maybe a little much. This goal may change as we go into the negotiation phase of the D.
2. Have more patience with my kiddos. I have been way more mindful of this, but still have my bad days.
3. Get in the best shape of my life so my H can eat it.......I mean so I can feel good about myself. This is the goal I have the most contol over, so I need to be more consistent.
4. Get a job after D.
