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.

HI @Shaz51 and everyone else

I wrapped my gifts for Christmas Day - phoned my elderly uncle - hopefully he will ring back - tidied my living room which was rather chaotic and got my booster shot. And yes - my supermarket delivery was all put away and I cooked dinner - which I always do

Re: Daily Achievements!

Good evening forumites! Well done on all of your achievements!

Today, I achieved the following things:

- I took my housemate to get an MRI scan done

- I visited my sister for some Christmas presents

- I purchased a salad pack for Christmas Day

- I got my photo taken by my housemate at the local shopping centres Christmas tree as it was free and I'm too old for Santa!

- I watched some of Carols in the Domain on TV

- I started knitting a beanie for charity and to help cheer me up as I was feeling emotional for some unknown reason (I'll watch this to see what develops if anything and go from there)

- I posted on the forums

Keep those wonderful achievements coming!

Judi9877☺️🎄🍀

Re: Daily Achievements!

Well done @Shaz51 . Learning to say no makes a big difference in your life. It isn't easy. But you have said it now and it will become easier over time.

I picked up my son last night from the train station 40 minutes away, because he missed the train that comes to our town. Dropped him at Mums.

Went over today and caught up with him for a few hours.

Then went to my Niece's to give my Great Niece her Christmas present.

Gave my dog a juicy bone. She only chewed it for 20 minutes, because it's too hot outside. She buried it now and will chew on it tonight when the weather gets cooler.

I'm off to bed for a nap. Then will cook fried rice for dinner. Yum.

May everyone have a relaxed Christmas. Whether it is spent with family or friends or just on your own, I hope you do something special just for yourself.

Love to everyone.

Hello @utopia @Judi9877 @Snowie @Owlunar @Shaz51 @Meowmy and all those visiting this thread.

What a great topic @Judi9877

Today I washed the car! That feels like a huge achievement for me! I got all the equipment out and pressure washer to give the outside a quick go. I used the pressure washer all over, then soaped and then wiped clean. It feels huge to me and I am so glad I did it.

- I also went to the shops to get a couple of things,

- Went for a quick walk and put my feet on the grass

- Journalled to practice mindfulness (something that its helping me when I cannot find anything positive to write I will literally just write what I am seeing, hearing and what my surroundings are)

- Sent two emails that I needed to

- Then have been patiently watching the weather radar and praying for some rain 🙏 (it always seems to go around us)
