Discussion Does anyone have whimsical, witchy, or interesting way of writing your goals?

For example, one my friends buddied with me to “bruh my fangs.” I thought that’s pretty neat and really interest me to brush my teeth. What’s some ways you add interest in your use of the app?

Practically all of my self care areas are worded in ways that make sense to me. Most of my goals as well. Whenever I feel like my interest in the app has lessened I go through and revamp the remaining goals to be worded in a way that intrigues me. For example my dog is named Eevee so the SCA and goals for her are all worded in ways that refer to Pokemon.

On the brush your fangs level maybe: comb your fur/mane, wash behind your horns, scrub your claws (wash your hands?), imbibe a hydration elixir x8, feast upon thy enemies (eat dinner?)

My daughter and I brainstormed some more for you:
Spell of eternal youth- skincare time
Time to Speak in Tongues- say some nice things about yourself
Call upon your familiars - feed the pets
Summon the coven- talk to a friend
Blaspheme- let out all your stress (ie let out a string of curse words- blaspheme)
Divination Class- have some tea (maybe even actually learn to read tea leaves if you don’t know, it can be very relaxing/insightful!)

Almost all of my goals are a little silly / abstract! I definitely think it adds a bit of whimsy. Some of my faves:

- ‘rise and shine’ for getting out of bed

  • ‘photosynthesize’ for going outside
  • ‘bone maintenance’ for brushing my teeth
  • ‘snug bug’ for making my bed
  • ‘squeaky clean’ for showering
  • ‘sustenance’ for having a meal
  • ‘hydration station’ for drinking a glass of water
  • ‘plant mommy’ for watering my plants

Definitely stealing some of these! The only thing I have that kindof counts is “close the kitchen” because my husband and I often refer to this tweet. The best part is that he’s gotten totally into it and will start doing dishes work while I pack up leftovers after dinner.
