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!

Re: Daily Achievements!

@Judi9877 @LostAngel @Dimity @TAB @Bunniekins @LookingHopeful @Appleblossom and others tomorrow I'm going to:
1 Go out on a picnic after I get up to take medication and eat breaky
2 socialise as much as possible without always turning inward all the time
3 read during my excursion and talk with support worker about my current book (I have hundreds of books, by the way!)
4 Come home and rest. May or may not sleep.
5 Read. As well as reading, post on forums.
6 Get through some house chores and have a shower (will also shower in the morning before excursion.)
7 Prepare dinner
8 Nightly bedtime ritual and hopefully a decent sleep!
If I don't complete all of these achievements, I want to at least do most of them.

Re: Daily Achievements!

take it easy @Former-Member sounds like a big list

In response to: Re: Daily Achievements!

Re: Daily Achievements!

I envy your energy and enthusiasm @Former-Member and I hope you accomplish even a few of your goals.

I've just started a daily journal to supplement using the Daylio app. I plan to reflect on the day, consider what I'm grateful for, and set goals for the following day. I've already set up groups of activities in Daylio where I aspire to at least one activity per group (like chores, outdoor activities, hobbies).

I'm glad I did some gardening this evening. Preparing a good evening meal is always a priority for me that I mostly achieve.

I'd like to do more walking and reading and spend less time on Facebook and online newsfeeds. I think I might need help with the gardening and decluttering.

Sundays are my day for reflecting on the past week and the week ahead - and this weekend I guess I'm also looking to the coming year...

Cheers for now

Dimity
