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 @TAB @RedHorse @Krishna @MDT @Shaz51 @Meowmy @tyme @Dimity @Former-Member @Daisydreamer @Former-Member @pinklollipop15 @Eve7 @maddison @Boo13 and everyone here. Great achievements everyone. Thanks for posting!

Today has been interesting for me in that:

- I finally set up my new laptop computer

- I worked on my jumper

- I had a relaxing bath

- Had an afternoon snooze of sorts after having an argument with my housemate

- Booked a rental car for our 5 day holiday coming up at the end of April

- Booked accommodation for said holiday above

That’s all from me tonight.

Take care and stay safe!

Re: Daily Achievements!

Transferred some plants into pots. I have an area of my yard that has decorative gravel and another done with woodchips. Plants self sow and grow in them. I call these gravelies & chippies. Every now & then I move them into planters. I have lots of young Macrocarpa trees coming up in the woodchips. I hope to nurture enough of them to make a hedge. This is the first.

Re: Daily Achievements!

Woke up at 4 again and lied in for an hour hopefully training my body to get used to longer sleep

Went for quick swim at beach when it was raining. Too much seaweed so went to baths. Tried to do some laps but didn't last long. Then went jogging for a tiny bit. Managed to feel sick after. Got better

Took sister to airport

Came home and spent most of the day chilling

Got shoulder and neck massage

Had leftovers for dinner

Aiming at going to bed much later to ight to try and make me sleep better.
