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 @Dimity @Jessie21 @Former-Member @tyme @Meowmy @Shaz51 @MDT @Paperdaisy @hanami @Former-Member @Former-Member @Former-Member @Daisydreamer @Bunniekins and all forumites here. Well done on your achievements!

@TAB Great work on the quitting of smoking! I’m so proud of you! Think of all of the money you must have saved by not buying smokes! I just wish I could be the same in not buying wool which I’ve got to stop doing as I have so much of it- so much wool, so many projects to start and use it for!

Today, my achievements have been:

- Brushed my teeth after going to the dentist on Wednesday afternoon for an emergency root canal treatment procedure.

- Finished off a pair of fingerless mitts for my housemate/best friend

- Started knitting a baby beanie for charity

- Had noodles and teriyaki beef for dinner

- Checked out the Big W toy catalogue online and found out that a yoga Barbie doll is being released which is kind of cute

- Watched the news on TV

- Took my meds

- Checked out a few more potential courses that I might think of applying for in childcare as an option, depending on costs

- Listened to some music on my iPhone via Apple Music

That’s all for me tonight!

Take care!

Re: Daily Achievements!

Hope you're going well in PARCS @Judi9877 .

Sunday I barely stirred from bed and couldn't see my way forward.

Today I slept til midday but started a food/activity diary for my lifestyle program anyway. I showered, did a load of washing, shopped (which meant walking), ate healthily, washed up, booked a Covid booster, and made plans to see family next week. I also spent hours online doomscrolling but feel proud of getting the other things done.

Wordle next, then bed. Fingers crossed that tomorrow is OK.
