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!

Good evening @MDT @TAB @Meowmy @LookingHopeful @oceangirl @Shaz51 @maddison @Eve7 @pinklollipop15 @RedHorse @Dimity @Daisydreamer @tyme @Former-Member @Anastasia and all forumites here.

@MDT I hope things work out better for you with uni and stuff tomorrow. Sending positive thoughts to you from Melbourne!

Today has been an okay day in that I was able to achieve what I regard as some positive things which were:

- Got back into cross stitching again on a freehand design of mine I started a few months ago which has helped with my boredom issues today

- Spoke with my Tafe counsellor who sent me some links for free online courses and training where I can get a certificate of completion to help me whilst I’m not in formal study right now - Had a shower

- Ate dinner

- Read some cross stitching magazines online from the library service I’m a member of

- Spoke to my sister who is on holiday out of Melbourne in country Victoria

That’s it from me tonight. Keep those achievements coming in as I really enjoy reading them!

Hope things are going ok for you after the psych catch up today @MDT ?

Really nice to witness the support & genuine respect & care you both give & receive from each other @TAB & @MDT

@Judi9877 - good on you! I saw that the TAFE counsellor had been really able to support you this week & all the small things we can often not acknowledge, like eating a dinner & speaking to loved ones - when you mention these I’m reminded to reflect on similar things in my day that I may overlook. I love acknowledging the small simple intentional moments 😊

To contribute in this conversation myself - I’d like to acknowledge the achievement of getting back into work after a short restful time away. It can be a hard transition to step into ‘work’ mode after having an intentional break.

I have also picked up some study the start of this year and I am really enjoying the learning & additional energy that it is bringing into my life at the moment. Despite it meaning that I have a fuller plate than normal.

Thanks for having this space to land for these achievements! @Judi9877

Re: Daily Achievements!

Hello Forumites and well done on your achievements!

Yesterday I got up long enough to have something to eat and drink.

Today I aimed higher but had a bit of a blowout.

When I got up today, I grabbed the keys to the ute thinking I would head into town and treat myself to a hotel room (the lure of indoor plumbing lol) and ended up slogging it back through the mud.

The ute is now stuck in the driveway. Hopefully getting it back will be on my list for tomorrow.

Daily Achievements:
