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!

Good evening @TAB @Meowmy @LostAngel @utopia @Dimity @Shaz51 @Anastasia @frog @Daisydreamer @Former-Member @Paperdaisy @Former-Member @MDT and all forumites here. Well done on your achievements everyone!

Today I've achieved the following things:

- Had a shower

- Didn't get too angry at the plumber for being 3 hours late for what turned out to be a 10 minute easy job

- Spoke to uni about the email I received about poor academic achievement and tried to sort it out

- Agreed to purchase a diary for next year thanks to an early present from my sister to help me with uni next year so I don't fail anymore subjects

- Booked in with a diabetes management team for an appointment in early January to help me manage my diabetes and weight management issues

- Found my old Fitbit and have charged it and am now wearing it to help get me moving more.

- Completed my 100th Calm app check in!

I think next year is going to me having to be more focused on myself and achieving personal goals and trying to not let my mental illnesses get too out of control so I don't have a hospital admission. Also, I've got to work on some new coping and life strategies so I don't sabotage myself when things start to turn positive for me like I've done in the past. Maybe that means taking time out to write letters to myself on how I'm travelling and checking in with myself on a wellbeing scale across physical and mental domains of my life. I'm not sure yet but I'm hoping to work it out before the year is over. No matter what I chose to do, I'll keep on posting my daily achievements here when I can to help remind myself of what I did achieve during the day as something positive in each day.

Stay safe and take care!

Re: Daily Achievements!

Awesome achievements @Judi9877 @TAB @LostAngel

Today I fixed the vacuum cleaner and did a spot of cleaning. And I started reading a book on a Feng Shui approach to decluttering but it's not as good as the KonMarie method.

@Judi9877 I'm glad you're persevering. You did well in so many of your uni assessments.

I'm using Daylio to track mood and activity as both need attention. I'd like to try a 5:2 diet for weight management but it will need preparation and planning which I haven't been strong on.

Do you find the Calm app helpful? I need to get back to meditation but it's hard to settle. In the New Year I'll be using a diary as well as the Daylio app. Writing a letter to myself is something I've tried in the past and it's definitely self-nurturing.

@LostAngel I hope you enjoy your time with family. @TAB I admire how you keep busy.

Tomorrow is another day and hopefully a better one for us all.
