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.

Re: Daily Achievements!

Today I went to my psychologist appointment. It was at 7am because it was the only session I could get that fit in with my schedule this next fortnight (yikes) and I am not a morning person on the best of days. I had an awful nights sleep and yet here I was at 7:01 ready to talk about life.

(yay for Telehealth - I could still be in my pjs for it)

Re: Daily Achievements!

Today I did the following:

1. Did a load of washing and put on the line.

2. Got a grocery delivery and put grocery away

3. Threw out cardboard and other recyclables in recycle bin

4. Cleaned kitchen sink.

5. Swept the tiled floors in entrance and kitchen

6. Tossed out loo rolls

7. About to scrub shower in bathroom

Have had air filtration on since yesterday so the air is fresh

Thought it was a good idea to do a cleanup prior to the full moon lunar eclipse which I think is on Sunday

Re: Daily Achievements!

They will certainly come in handy @TAB. Just got the soap scum and mold off now with scourer sponge I will spray with clove oil for good measure. I notice if I use clove oil the mold doesn't come back as quickly. I don't use Exit Mold, learned from a building inspector during Qld floods where my brother lives that clove is good. Aromatherapist married to mold expert told me the same. Will spray it on today and leave it on overnight. No yukky chemical fumes. Clove oil smells lovely wafting around the house. Aromatherapy can rival many commercial products particularly pharmaceuticals which is why big business doesn't like it and they try and regulate aromatherapy because of lost profits. That is all for today. I should organise some lunch now then have an afternoon break. Enough achievements for today. Might not go for a walk this afternoon, been busy around the house

In response to: Re: Daily Achievements!

Re: Daily Achievements!

Yes I do Earth brand for my dishwashing liquid, laundry and floor cleaner. Its a pretty good little brand for the environment and is competitively priced compared to others on the market @TAB. My shower sparkles now. Just made myself an avocado and tomato sandwich for lunch. Am about to check the mail.

Re: Daily Achievements!

I used to get earth esp dish liquid @Former-Member got slack

In response to: Re: Daily Achievements!

Re: Daily Achievements!

Yeah probably less toxic than other brands @TAB. I use a cheap shampoo and conditioner. Natures Organics Fruits I think its called. Its the cheapest brand on the market. I used to shampoo my hair with bicarb/water paste and rinse with white vinegar/water. The hairdresser noted the condition of my hair and asked what products I used! lol.

In response to: Re: Daily Achievements!

Re: Daily Achievements!

bicarb a bit rough for hair lol ok beer and egg used to work think @Former-Member ha ha
