Daily Achievements!

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!

@Judi9877 this is a great thread! My achievements for today are dishes and laundry. I haven't felt like doing much these past few days.

Re: Daily Achievements!

Yes @TAB , something I realised when moving to this remote town, I never actually go barefoot or get to touch the earth much. My rental backyard is just rocks, dust and goat-head bindi's (what a downer they are, hurts so much). And being there is no beach here I have to resort to walking to the park just to see some green grass.

@Former-Member thats some great achievements, I did the bed sheets yesterday and it felt so nice in the evening to go to bed with fresh sheets. Hope you find some joy in clean laundry 💕🏡

Re: Daily Achievements!

sounds a bit like here re rocks and 'bindis' here they call the double Js in South Australia are called 3 corner Jacks lol people here put old carpet on back yard to pick them all up in one go @LookingHopeful

Re: Daily Achievements!

haha I haven't heard of the other names for the bindis @TAB

I am not even sure how they are produced, it doesn't look like there is any plant sorce but they seem to be everywhere in the yard.

This isn't my photo but this is what my birkinstocks look like, had to sacrifce one pair of shoes to hang the washing on the line

Re: Daily Achievements!

ah yeah not sure if they're all the same thing @LookingHopeful 3 corner jacks used to have little green plant

Re: Daily Achievements!

Oh yeah, they look incredibly similiar @TAB but there is definitely no green fiburous plants in the back yard. In the NT I just read an article and looks like they call them Bindi-Eye (Tribulus eichlerianus) or bull head. Must be all something very similar.

Well its a rental, and there are literally thousands of them so unfortantely we try to avoid the backyard, I will continue to go for a walk to find some green grass 🙂

Re: Daily Achievements!

yeah no plants really obvious here either @LookingHopeful guess plant already died and left prickly things

Today, my achievements were:

- I worked on my Mental Health Recovery Blanket which I hadn't done in a long time

- I watched some music videos on my housemates new Tv using her internet connection set up

- I had chicken cacciatore and brown rice for dinner

- I researched and found 2 new recipes that I plan to make in the future: Tuna pasta salad and ham and corn pasta salad

- I reached my Fitbit step count amount

Keep those wonderful achievements coming

Re: Daily Achievements!

Great effort @Judi9877 Fitbit, recipes, shower.

I had a shower this morning!!! Even though my Depression is in remission, I still struggle to shower. Once a week is pretty good for me.

Listening to an Audio book. Short stories. Loving it.

I hope everyone recognises each achievement today, whether small or big, each step you take is fantastic.
