Daily Achievements!

Hi forum friends! I've decided to start a new thread on Daily Achievements because I suffer from depression as one of my mental illness and that means it's often hard for me to remind myself that I do actually things in my day, no matter how small they may be. I thought forumites could post here a daily achievement or 2 so we can remind ourselves that we have done something good each day. It can be as big or as small as you like. Just as long as what you did makes you proud and happy.

I'm tagging @roses @Bow @Shaz51 @BPDSurvivor @saltandpepper @Daisydreamer @Former-Member @Former-Member @Former-Member @TideisTurning @Former-Member @frog @Sans911 @outlander

in case you might be interested as well as anyone else who wants to join in!

So, to get this discussion started, I'll post my achievements today which are:

- I had a gorgeous cup of tea which helped me deal with some anxiety I was experiencing;

- I paid my car registration which was due today.


See what I mean about achievements? Mine may seem small or irrelevant to some people but to me, because I have depression, these are actually major in the scheme of my life. I look forward to seeing what everyone comes up with.

Re: Daily Achievements!

Well done @LostAngel @Judi9877 it's good seeing your achievements. I did some weeding then cooked dinner (tortellini and veg). I was notified a couple of my Xmas parcels to family were delivered early which is good.

Hi @Shaz51

Hi everyone.

I did my Saturday Yoga Class (8.30am) this morning.

Then did weekly Aviary maintenance - Made sure everyone had plenty of Seed & Clean Water.

Nice surprise - The 4 or 5 Wild Mice did not seem to have moved back into Aviary.

They were living/ hiding underneath the Seed Hopper (last week).

I then did some more essential shopping.

Had to drive to 3 different ATM's - before 3rd final ATM finally gave me my $$.

The 1st 2 ATM's chucked wobblies - They said they did not like my ATM Card.

One ATM said my Card is Expired - Which it is not, as it's Valid for another 12 months yet.

I need that $$ to buy my Yoga Card, for my Yoga Classes.

Good day @Shaz51

I went to the market and picked up the name puzzles for my 2 great nieces and great nephew. Got mum some lemon butter and passionfruit butter, which she loves. Those were my last Xmas presents.

Went to mums and put Dynamic Lifter on her garden beds, then mulched heavily.

Went home and washed my dog. She is a Labrador and hates being washed. Had to wrestle her into the bathroom, then wrestle her into the shower, then continually wrestle her to stand under the water..(I have a large, long shower). Pulled the muscle in my back and hurt my wrist. But she is clean and soft.

Did 3 loads of washing.

Put clean sheets on the bed.

Very tired and worn out now.

Re: Daily Achievements!

Good evening @utopia @Adge @Shaz51 @Dimity @LostAngel @Daisydreamer @Former-Member @Former-Member @Anastasia @frog @MDT @TAB and everyone here. Well done on your achievements forumites! Everything from lemon butter to lavender spray to yoga classes to Christmas shopping- I'm very impressed with each of you👍🏻⭐️!

Today, my achievements were:

- I had a very challenging yet thought provoking session with my psychologist which left me with lots of questions and ideas so I wrote them down in my journal to focus on later;

- I picked up my new used car from the dealership

- I went to both Kmart and Spotlight to pick up my click and collect orders

- I had a shower

- I purchased new sleepwear from Kmart that is really comfortable

- I checked the Big Bash T20 scores on my phone to see that the Hobart Hurricanes had defeated the Sydney Sixers at long last!

- I picked up my cat Mitz from my sisters house and brought her back to my new rental property.

That's all from me! Keep listing those wonderful achievements and don't forget to celebrate them no matter how big or small!

Judi9877☺️💐⭐️

Re: Daily Achievements!

@Judi9877 Sounds like a really productive day. A good therapy session is wonderful when you can look at the questions it raises, and answer them. Well done.

Congrats - a new car. How exciting. And new pj's. You will feel so comfortable. I put clean sheets on the bed yesterday. There is nothing as luxurious as fresh clean sheets.

@Shaz51 My back is ok this morning. But my arm and wrist feels like it is badly twisted. A few days rest and it will be back to good.

Re: Daily Achievements!

So many achievements from everyone @Judi9877 @Shaz51 @utopia @BlueBay @Adge @LostAngel

Today I did short bursts of gardening, a walk, cleaning the kitchen, my computer project and knitting a pink mohair scarf. Struggling a bit with anxiety and my eyesight so was pleased with what I did. I'm tracking and restricting my screen time on news and social media as it's been excessive but need to cut back further.

Re: Daily Achievements!

@Dimity You had a good day. Kept busy.

I stopped watching the news about 3 or so years ago. It was the best decision I had made in a long time. As the news used to really affect my Major Depression and Anxiety. I don't miss the news at all.
