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.

Re: Daily Achievements!

Thanks @Captain24 for reviving this thread this month 🙂 It's been a big month for many, so sharing some of our achievements is great!

@Eve7 - I know!!! Prices of everything has sky rocketed! Takeaway is so costly now. But everything is costly...

Re: Daily Achievements!

Yes @tyme it is expensive now whatever you buy but someone else can pay next Friday or we’ll be having fish fingers!

Re: Daily Achievements!

Today is day 4 of my interstate visit to my daughter and SIL's house.

Achievements include:

1. Getting out of bed in the morning despite feeling decidedly average and both of them being at work;

2. Eating a healthy breakfast and taking my meds;

3. Doing last night's dishes, a load of laundry and giving the place a general clean up;

4. Taking the dogs out for some play and exercise;

5. Providing feedback on my daughter's uni assignment... and

6. Just relaxing into being away from home and not stressing over what needs to be done when I return.

That's it for today ☺️

Re: Daily Achievements!

Well done indeed @RedHorse ! That's incredible seeing you didn't really feel up to it!

And @Eve7 - i think it's fair someone else pays next week. Even fish fingers is a treat. They can have canned sardines instead lol... it'll be healthier after all.

Re: Daily Achievements!

I went to chicken/pizza place recently had seen like 5 year old menu on google , was still same price (!) ok pizza had inch of crust , but what topping was there was really good

Re: Daily Achievements!
