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.

Well done @Appleblossom I had thoughts of cooking lamb soup but the hungry teenagers didn’t leave enough lamb. Just finished the potatoes and eggs from the Seder plate.

Hey @Appleblossom
I was listening to Nina Simone today. And Julie London

Both from a bygone era
But powerful voices.

Speaking of jazz, do you like Bill Evans ?

Got up
Went to gym
Had coffee after
Healthy breakfast
Saw mate at lunch and had a good chat about things in life and where we are up to.
Came home and worked on some stuff.

For once it feels like I'm on a good run
Just need to pace myself

Good evening @Meowmy @MDT @Appleblossom @Eve7 @Scream58 @hanami @tyme @TAB @Shaz51 @RedHorse @Dimity @Ugly_Trout @maddison @pinklollipop15 @Former-Member @Daisydreamer @Former-Member and all others joining in tonight.

Today has been pretty good for me in regards to achievements which were:

- Wrote myself a letter regarding me buying wool and the need to cut back on doing this as I already have so many balls that I’m yet to use plus endless projects on the go which I need to look at completing

- Worked out a small savings goal for each fortnight with my sister on the phone

- Wore my new Garfield oodie that my housemate gave me for Easter which was nice and warm and perfect for curling up in today during Melbourne’s cold weather

- Completed 2 different sections of knitting for 2 blankets with 1 section being sewn up later tonight

- Had breakfast for the first time in months with a hot coffee that I also hadn’t had in months (had lost my interest for breakfast and drinking coffee over the last few months so I’m pleased that my want for breakfast has come back)’

- Had an arvo snooze after waking up at 4am and not getting back to sleep until 7am

- Had homemade fried rice for dinner that I helped my housemate cook up via the rice cooker

Take care forumite friends!

Re: Daily Achievements!

Hi @Judi9877

Sounds like a lot of achievements and a good day!
Today I worked. I finished my uni study in the morning - for the next 3 weeks I have a break woo hoo! I also did some restorative yoga.

I had breakky, made lunch and drank some peaceful teas throughout the day. I even got a few short walks in.

I thought about whether I want to work in the place I'm working although I appreciate the job I think I have greater skills that I'm putting to use. I'm pondering on the next steps. I had curried sausages for dinner was yum. And before that I watched my daughter ride her bike (she has finally learnt) and also adjusted her bike seat.

I am now watching home and away.. wasn't on last night a bit disappointed about that.

Take care!
