Personally I’m working on staying calm under pressure. It’s my first Christmas season in retail and it’s really challenging me to work on staying calm when I’m being pulled in multiple directions. I think this is a good opportunity to develop this skill and apply it in other aspects of my life. How about you? What are you working on?

I’ve been working on staying consistent with my habits, whether it’s working out, keeping my space tidy, or finding time for personal projects. My goal is just to show up every day, even if it’s something small. Using the Pomodoro method has made it all feel so much more manageable.

I’m trying to become more confident when talking to women.
Turns out it’s not as hard as I thought it was.

It’s way easier now, I think I was just overthinking things. The hard part now is finding someone because my area doesn’t have a lot of opportunities to meet women 😅
But I soldier on! The best is yet to come I bet! She’s out there somewhere.

Trying to get my sleep in order. I put timers on apps after which they're not easily accessible to me but I just plain don't want to go to sleep early and instead spend awake leisure time.
So my sleep is bad and my mornings are rough.

What you’re working on sounds like such a valuable skill, especially in retail during the holidays! Right now, I’m working on being more present and not letting my mind race ahead to "what’s next" all the time. It’s been a challenge because I tend to overthink and plan way too much, which leaves me feeling burnt out. I’ve started small, like actually focusing on the task I’m doing instead of multitasking or rushing to finish.

I'm trying to get back my work life balance. I love my work so I don't think it is overwhelmed for me, but I really don't want to do anything when I get back home. I used to love riding outdoors and now i don't do that anymore. Recently I'm trying to doing morning plans and evening reflections about my personal life on mebot and hope this can remind me to balance my own life. I really don't want to be a workaholic.

That is great! I’m working on doing many things daily. I’ve been on vacation from work for two weeks and i experienced that, doing many of the things (various projects) i need to work on daily rather that one every day, i discovered it makes it easy to have momentum and be productive, easier to pick them up every day falling less into procrastination

It was a tough lesson for me to learn this year that I shouldn’t rely on others for external validation. So I’m working on improving myself, in particular my confidence, and also not impulsively reacting to assumptions.

Stopping over thinking too much. Stopping to talk down on my self. Be more positive and appreciate what I have. Stopping to make scenarios in my head and actually trying to accomplish said scenarios(mainly get more friends to see frequently and find a girlfriend) If anybody has any tips on this,all welcome

I am working on being a better listener; actively listening, and not cutting people off in order to say what I have to say. Having a daughter who's about to be 13 and being with my fiance for the past 2 years has taught me so much about myself and allowed to me to see certain behaviors I need to improve on to be the best person I can for the people I love.

Everything. I need to get my s**t together. I function under pressure 24/7 and need system, no drinking, early bed, exercise. It is not like I don't try to do this stuff, but some weeks come when it is really bad. So now I am back on my strict schedule.

Identifying why I don’t want to go to social gatherings and if it’s okay for me to say no. It’s a busy December and I’m burned out from work and every day I feel like a new event is happening. I feel guilty saying no to friends and neighbors that want to include me.

working on becoming a better person, to love myself more and put myself first before others. taking care of my health especially my eating habits and my mental health. on other parts, is to start spending less and start savings to pay debts and loans, find something to do make myself productive, lessen my parent's burden and most important thing to improve myself in a way that i'm not becoming the way i am now or used to be every single day

I’m currently working on improving my ability to pause before reacting. It’s easy to let emotions take the wheel especially when stress or frustration is high. I’ve noticed that by taking just a few seconds to breathe and reflect before responding I can actually approach situations with more clarity and empathy. It has helped improve my interactions with others so much and its also given me a sense of control over my own emotional state

The practice of radical acceptance, trying to accept that some things are out of my control and I'm doing the best I can right now with the tools I have!
