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.

Good evening @RedHorse @Shaz51 @Scream58 @Meowmy @TAB @pinklollipop15 @Eve7 @tyme @Daisydreamer @Dimity and all forumites visiting here!

Great work on taking time for self care @Meowmy

@Scream58 well done on paying the council rates! I’ve got to register my cat with the local council in a few weeks time after not doing it last year- totally forgot all about it!

Thanks for the encouragement @Shaz51

Today has been a mixture of achievements for me so here they are:

- Finally got the whole Tafe dilemma sorted out with it being decided that I’m going back to uni in the next few weeks for the next study period to recommence my psychology degree. The Tafe isn’t sure if they’ll get the numbers to run the course in April or even June and my maths result isn’t good enough for them according to the Victorian government’s standards so that’s the way that cookie has crumbled for my life. I’m pretty cool with the result as I thought I might have to take the long way in getting qualified for a job in mental health for some reason with the Tafe taking so long to give me a response so I’ll be fine.
- Spoke with my Tafe counsellor about my decision after she called me with the news of the Tafe decision

- Had a relaxing bath with lavender in it

- Chilled out by using my oil diffuser this afternoon when I began to get stressed before the Tafe decision news

- Worked on both my crochet blanket and beanie 28

- Watched some of the Sydney Roosters NRL match on TV tonight

- Spoke to my sister on the phone

- Completed a coronavirus survey as part of a research study I’m involved in (I don’t have the virus and have been fortunate enough to avoid it thank goodness!)

- Ate lunch and dinner

That’s all for me tonight!

Take care!

Re: Daily Achievements!

TodayI went walking with friends and saw kangaroos 🦘 lazing on the grass living the good life, black swans 🦢, no snakes 🐍 and a koala 🐨 up a big tree. Weather was perfect and we had breakfast afterwards.

Tonight I went out with some of my athletes for agility testing and some learning.

Now it’s late and I still haven’t taken my night meds…so I won’t be up early in the morning!

Good night 😴 all @Judi9877 @Shaz51 @RedHorse @Scream58 @TAB

Re: Daily Achievements!

After tidying up my African Violets yesterday I decided to sort & fertilize them all today (there are over 100).

Managed a quick trip to the supermarket. I've stuck to my budget all week so shouted myself an ice cream.

Moved some seedlings out of pots into a garden bed.
