Daily Achievements!

I'm glad you're feeling better and more confident @Former-Member it's good to see. I hope with your increased energy you're also getting enough sleep... I'm bipolar so it can be either a feast or a famine sleepwise...

Looking forward to a day of achievements

Hey @Shaz51 and all

The only thing I've acheived so far today was a negative RAT result 🙂

Will try and go for a walk later...but it is getting rather hot and I'm not 100%. Hence the test

Have a good day everybody!

hey @Dimity I kept making the evening meal as an anchor through my worst times.

It also gave me the metaphor of things working away on the back burner.

I am a list person, and there are usually 1 or 2 on the kitchen bench (food and jobs). Sometimes lists of goals help me, sometimes they annoy me and send me back to when I was a public servant and found extra record keeping for management interfered with getting things done. So sometimes I go organic. When I began gardening it was an effort, but then as I began to get into it, I would get ideas while in bed and sometimes I would just give in to the impulse and get up, 'do the job" or run to kitchen and add it to list, as I was afraid I might forget a good idea.

My OT is becoming a little goals obsessed and I am needing more space from that as I need to get to the organic deep intuitive part of me. I lived a long time ticking off goals, even like a soldier or a robot because raising kids so much had to be done. She is very young and has supportive family and still lives at home. I feel it is ridiculous for a person who has still not achieved much in life to be holding me accountable. Yes she did a longish degree, but no more than me, and she is paid a lot and her company charges NDIS a lot. so I am going on an OT diet.

Important things I have achieved on regular basis:

1. Daily acitivity outside include various gardenings and physio. Did Tai Chi walking yesterday.

2. 99% healthy meals.

3. Managed ongoing family crises without excessive prn and keeping meds low.

4. Sleep cycle not too bad, but natural and I do get up when my whirling head has settled enough so that I am not carrying around a head in a cloud of unsorted memories.

5. Slowly sorting through memories and reactions, responses and consequences.

6. Head and neck pain managed.

7. A little music daily, Could be more, but it is what it is.

8. Household loosely managed with a little help from cleaner once per month and gardener once per year.

9. Finally feeling I am worth having a decent home and clothes. Also realising that my sense of gratitude about it is still modest, as most live in bigger places, but mine has class even if in a poorer part of town.

10. Work still to do on deep shame feelings and forms of self sabotage.

Hey @Judi9877 @Shaz51 @Former-Member

@Appleblossom I'm a listmaker too. It soothes an overbusy mind and prompts a sluggish one.

Well done on all your achievements. It sounds as though you're finding safe harbour after weathering many storms.

Therapists all come with their own baggage - mine gave as an example of a life goal "owning a red car". I don't drive (half blind) and am not materialistic. I'm sure she meant well.

Today was an extraordinary day for me. I was up at 6am, washed/cleaned/decluttered/shopped/repotted a potplant/started my 5:2 diet. I'm exhausted. I hope to start shifting my sleep cycle soon rather than reverting to type.

Greetings and best wishes to all forumites passing through
