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!

This is so true @LostAngel! But remember we all handle our list of daily achievements in different ways so if your way of handling things is working, please give yourself permission to keep at it! You're making whatever changes in your life that are necessary for you at the time, and this is so awesome!!! Yes it's good to recharge. I should know lol!
Here are my list of achievements:
1 Sane forums
2 Lifeline
3 Set up weekly doctorS appointments
4 Rest so I'm ready for my excursion tomorrow
5 Read my books

I'm leaving housework for now, too unmotivated and exhausted. I'm just focusing on easy-to-reach goals that will benefit my well-being without making me more sick/unwell re suggestions from these forums and GP, so I can delay being hospitalised for as long as I can. I'm also reminding myself not to do anything stupid.

Re: Daily Achievements!

It's good to see your achievements @Judi9877 @Former-Member @LostAngel @Meowmy .

Yesterday I spent quite a while on the forums.

Today I slept late. My mind and body are sluggish but after dinner I went for an evening walk.

It's a peaceful evening, cool and mild, with crickets.

I've achieved a sense of calmness. I'm looking forward to tomorrow.

Re: Daily Achievements!

Sounds good @Meowmy . I just enjoyed a soy chai. A nice cuppa can make a difference.

I hope Sunday is kind to you.

Re: Daily Achievements!

Good evening and happy Saturday everyone! Well done on your achievements @Dimity @Meowmy @Former-Member @LostAngel


Taking time out to rest and recharge is an important thing to do and allow time for as your mind and brain needs to relax so it is better at functioning and dealing with life’s dramas. A big 👍🏻⭐️ for doing this forumites! I learnt in my hospital stay that it’s important to do this as being on all the time can actually do you more harm than good and my psychologist told me they taking time out is an important part in mental health recovery so I try and and do this often to help me with my mental health journey. I call it part of my self care routine and try and enjoy the time to just rest and close my eyes to try and shut down for a short period of time.


@Former-Member I hope you have fun on your excursion tomorrow - Sunday!

@LostAngel having connections with your family is great to hear and I’m so proud of you for having these people in your life who you can talk to. That’s lovely to hear. I’ve only got my sister as my family connection since my alcoholic father is now out of my relationship (he only calls me when he wants something and usually when he’s been drinking so I refuse to speak to him) and I do have a Facebook link to a distant aunt on my fathers side due to her putting together the family tree and relevant family history who I follow. My mother passed away nearly 20 years ago and her family is no longer around so I’m a bit alone family wise. I’m fine though. My sister is great 99% of the time so I’m happy with that.

@Meowmy Take care of yourself in all ways possible!

@Dimity I’m so glad of your achievements!

@Former-Member Thanks for the positive feedback!

My achievements were:

- I had 3 meals today include roast beef for dinner in the new air fryer of my housemates who tested it out tonight

- I had a shower

- I collected my mail from the newsagents which had my new diary/planner in it

- I posted on Facebook

- I started a new beanie for my housemate

- I worked on my Crazy Blanket

- I picked up Maccas for my sister for lunch and delivered it to her since I had to collect some groceries off her.

- J watched Ash Barty win her semi final in the Adelaide International tennis tournament on TV

Thanks for all the nice comments everyone.

Take care!

Judi9877☺️💐
