Daily Achievements!

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.

Hi everyone,

"Daily Achievements" is not a thread that I have posted on before.

Here goes:-

Helped a friend set up the front of engine, front seal, harmonic balancer, relocate alternator and install new idler pulleys and belt. Project is to exchange an engine into a 4WD, for improved engine response & power, less weight, better overall driveability.

This is a good project for me because it is getting me out into things that I enjoy. I'm not a mechanic but have had a fair bit of experience with vehicles - mine, and those belonging to friends and relatives. The fellow with whom I am working, and I get along well, so I am getting a regular dose of positive companionship.

I had a full day yesterday with doctor and optician appointments. Did some additional shopping to make the 2 hour each way trip worthwhile.

My dog is in good form and very playful. That's good because I've been feeling a bit down with effect of cyclone bringing other issues to the front of mind.

Looking forward to a good day tomorrow.

Cheers

HenryX

@Judi9877 @LostAngel @HenryX @Appleblossom @TideisTurning @Shaz51 ... all passing this way, especially @Last-Lament: getting through the day is a big achievement.

I got groceries and cleaned the bathroom floor and made brownies.

That's probably it for today. Awake from 3 and feel terrible

Re: Daily Achievements!

Thats plenty @frog

Mostly today I have had doona on my lap...In between doing music and being online. Organised pile of dishes and prepared for tonights meal.

My daily tasks or to-do lists used to be very long ( for about 50 years), until a young chikkie told me I should only plan to do one thing a day. lol ... if only ...I were so lucky ...not letting people talk like that to me so easily any more. She was looking tired last time I saw her ...learning about the life of a young mum.

Re: Daily Achievements!

I’ve done my usual Saturday runaround.

Now Im sitting down looking at my clean kitchen bench and being pleased with myself for throwing out so much stuff!

Better get onto the next chore as I plan to get into the shower at 5 to get ready to go out.
