Saradactyl Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 Hello Fellow Nerdlings, Courtesy of @Novaurora I have joined this merry band of nerdy fitness to have self accountability in my fight against anxiety and depression based lack of motivation. Previous to starting this challenge I had already set up small steps for myself using a chart with goals and check offs. Thanks to @Novaurora I also have a reward to help me stay focused on accomplishing my tasks. Picture in Spoiler. I am starting from scratch with the basics to refocus after a series of difficult situations resulted in my hurriedly moving back home with no job or plan. Spoiler 10 Quote Link to post

Harriet Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 Welcome and good luck beating back the depression and anxiety! ...P.S. what is 'brush polar'? Do you have a polar bear? How long does it take to brush the polar bear? I expect it would take a long time because they're so big. 6 Quote Let cheese and bread and mead crowd out our secret desires for power and domination.

MsAllegraFox Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 I absolutely love your poster board and I love that little envelope you have with your reward (?) That's such a fantastic idea and a nice tangible thing to motivate you onwards. I wish you all the luck in the world getting through kicking depression's ass! 3 Quote Battle Log: Cry Havoc and Let Slip the Fox of War// Challenge 1 (Do Over) // Respawn Log: Continue [Y]/[N] “Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.” Thief of Time Link to post
Athena Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 Here for some depression ass kicking! Don't hesitate to kick it while it's down, either.

Saradactyl Posted May 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Update Time, It's now into the full two weeks of my board and I'm working towards my reward. Spoiler The board is broken down into Daily (red), As needed (green) (don't come at me about showers, somedays you just don't need or want one) and then the purple at the bottom is for just as they happen things. I find the thing that I struggle with the most is exercise and practicing my instrument (which as a former music major/teacher was something that I did for hours a day). I am hoping that with habit it will become less of a struggle to pull out the Euphonium and make some notes on it. I also added more stickers to include shiny emojis and a few shiny colorful stars. 6 Quote Link to post
Novaurora Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 That is a beautiful chart!
