SMART Goals and Chronic Pain: What are your goals?

@rwinney Today I set a goal to pull some weeds that sprung up along the walkway. Got a kitty litter bucket full pulled! [What I want to know is why aren't these tender shoots eaten by the deer and squirrels, instead of my roses!!??] I'll let them dry out for pickup in next week's trash. It felt good to be in the winterish air and doing something productive. And a load of wash is going. Setting small goals and adapting as needed.

@gingerw Good for you, Ginger! I love that you set small goals and focused on function over feelings. I hope you used proper ergonomics.😉 It does feel rewarding to do something productive, and getting outdoors was a bonus. One of my goals for the week was to create online Christmas cards. I have been using moderation by limiting my time at the computer each day since Monday while researching what I wanted to design and order. Yesterday I completed that goal and it felt really good!

Good for you, Ginger. So happy to hear that you were doing well enough to be outdoors. I'm wondering if I will have more weeds to pull or leaves to rake when we get home next week, as it isn't quite winter there yet.
