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.

Today was a much better day for me.

Went to the supermarket and got Easter supplies, including a nice piece of fish.

Brought the wheelie bin in. I put it out after I posted last night.

Received and accepted an offer of Employment for the election so downloaded & printed all required documentation.

Rang my son for a chat, unfortunately there were phone service issues so we gave up.

Gave my parrot some free flight time in the living room. She had her vandal button active and decided to attack the drapes so had to be sent to her room.

Re: Daily Achievements!

Got up
Played rocket league on my switch
Had some small breakfast
Organised my day
Started job stuff
Went and got coffee
Came home and finished off job thing and sent it off after pedantic crap with it
Had something to eat at lunch
Did some more placement stuff which was interesting
Had shower
Cooked dinner
About to do meeting soon for placement

Lessons from today:
Prepare for the worst but expect the best in life because things are going to be weird/uncertain for the next little while
I need to start being kinder to myself and not have such harsh opinions on myself particularly because I'll be spending more time on my own now

@Judi9877 @TAB

I left it a bit late to get hot cross buns and the IGA only had the chocolate ones left. They weren't terrible but just don't quite rate as real buns.

@Scream58 @Judi9877 @TAB @MDT @Eve7 hello everyone, hope you are all travelling well. Today I went to have lunch with friend and tried to help a young friend studying in my trade. I learnt a bit to practice self compassion. Funny looking after others can help to learn to look after selves too. Take care all.
