AWARENESS: What Is Human Trafficking?

Goal: Correct myths and build understanding

Awareness Intro

🟦 January is Human Trafficking Prevention Month

Human trafficking is the exploitation of people through force, fraud, or coercion for labor or s*x.
It can happen anywhere—including schools, neighborhoods, online spaces, and workplaces.

Awareness saves lives. Education creates protection.

⏳ T — TIME-BOUND: Give Your Goal a Timeframe

Goals without a timeframe can feel overwhelming, vague, or easy to put off.
A time-bound goal gives your intention a clear container—so it has a place to land.

Timeframes help you:
✔ Stay focused
✔ Track progress
✔ Reduce procrastination
✔ Know when to pause, reflect, or adjust

Ask yourself:
👉 By when will I do this?
👉 What timeframe feels supportive—not stressful?

Examples of time-bound goals:
✅ “I will practice this habit for the next 30 days.”
✅ “I will complete this by the end of the month.”
✅ “I will focus on this goal over the next 6 weeks.”

✨ Timeframes create structure, not pressure.
✨ They remind you that goals can be revisited, revised, or released.

Healthy goals move with your life—not against it.

💛 R — RELEVANT: Does This Goal Actually Matter to You?

Not every goal is meant for you—and that’s okay.

A relevant goal connects to what truly matters in your life, not what’s trending, expected, or pressured by others.

A meaningful goal aligns with:
✔ Your values
✔ Your current needs
✔ Your healing journey
✔ Your real priorities

Ask yourself:
👉 Why is this goal important to me?
👉 Who benefits from this goal—me, or everyone else?

Examples of relevant goals:
✅ “This goal supports my mental health and emotional wellbeing.”
✅ “This goal helps me feel more balanced and present.”
✅ “This goal aligns with the life I’m trying to build.”

If a goal doesn’t serve you, it won’t stick—and it may even create frustration or burnout.

✨ Relevant goals feel motivating, purposeful, and worth your energy.

✨ Recovering From the Holidays ✨

The holidays can leave us feeling emotionally drained, overwhelmed, or struggling to find our footing again. You’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate it by yourself.

🗓 Friday, January 9, 2026
⏰ 8 PM Central | 9 PM Eastern
📍 Live on Facebook, YouTube & Twitch

🎙 Hosts: T.K., Dee-J & D.A.
🧠 House Therapist: Larneka Lavalais, LPC-S

We’ll talk about:
• Emotional exhaustion after the holidays
• Managing stress, grief, and burnout
• Gentle ways to reset without pressure
• Protecting your mental health going into the new year

💬 Come listen, reflect, and be part of the conversation.

🧠 A — ACHIEVABLE: Be Honest About Capacity

A healthy goal isn’t about pushing harder—it’s about choosing what’s realistic for your life right now.

Achievable goals honor:
✔ Your energy
✔ Your time
✔ Your mental and emotional capacity
✔ Your current season

Ask yourself:
👉 Is this realistic for me right now—or is it based on pressure, comparison, or guilt?

Unrealistic goals often lead to burnout:
❌ “I’ll work out every day for an hour.”
❌ “I’ll never miss a day.”

Achievable goals support consistency:
✅ “I’ll move my body for 15 minutes, 3 times a week.”
✅ “I’ll rest when I notice signs of exhaustion.”
✅ “I’ll focus on progress, not perfection.”

✨ Achievable goals build momentum, not shame.
✨ Small wins create trust with yourself—and that’s powerful.

📊 M — MEASURABLE: Track Progress, Not Perfection

If you can’t measure it, it’s hard to know when you’re making progress.

Ask yourself:
👉 How will I know I’m moving forward?

Examples:
✔ Minutes
✔ Days
✔ Sessions
✔ Tasks completed

✅ “I will journal 3 days a week.”
✅ “I will walk for 20 minutes, 4 times a week.”

Progress is motivating—even small steps count.
