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!

36 deg here today @BlueBay um, pool is 5mins drive from here, not been in 3 years now think, thats terrible, ok maybe went 3 times in 2 years before that. Am losing flexibility and back not goo, I used to be an okay swimmer, guess tell myself its too hard to start all over again, but body really needs it.

Well done on looking after yourself !

I managed to go to the grocery store, vacuum and mop the house. Had to push through it all a bit but even sat down for some breath and stretch work.

Little by little some days.

Re: Daily Achievements!

Today I

- wrote up some plans for the next stage of my life post work
- read a bit more of my book, only a page, but it was enough to trigger some deep thinking about myself
- tried to recount my journey since finishing school ten years ago
- was honest with my friend about my intentions with her
- made a commitment to myself to not be harsh and unreasonable

In response to: Re: Daily Achievements!

Re: Daily Achievements!

Thanks @LookingHopeful and well done to you too. I just finished pick up and tidy mission across house, am sweating, back all stiff , but have 6 bags of rubbish to take to bin now lol .. well tradesman coming tomorrow and I suddenly become more aware of my surroundings and how they might see it. Bit tempted to say dont care what they think, and sometimes I dont.Anyway difference is visible, even if it's not in 'inspection order' ...😎
