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!

guess its sorta the same as muscle memory but saw recently that people who have not exercised for a long time, but had previously, make a lot quicker gains once start exercising again. @Glisten

Re: Daily Achievements!

@Glisten why thank you.. yes sometimes it's what seem like everyday habits are a huge feat for some of us.. self care. Showering and looking after our minds and bodies.. they turn out to be the BIG things as doing those things shows us that we are well... that we are not slipping.. as we are capable of doing those things and importantly too, want to do those things as we know it makes us feel good which is an important act of self-love in itself.. caring about feeling good about ourselves ❤️

Re: Daily Achievements!

Hey there @Judi9877 🙂🌺

this is worth celebrating.. you’ve overcome systemic and institutional barriers to facilitate your own way in forging ahead with education, within a system that can be complex and filled with opposition at times.
While reading your post, I could hear myself grumbling about systemic barriers, however at each turn you’ve planned, progressed and proceeded to get where you need to go to reach your goals.
You’ve achieved great things within really rigid structures and I can’t be any happier for you! 🙌🏻😀🌺👌🏻

I hope you feel a great sense of pride and achievement - you deserve it 😊💜

Re: Daily Achievements!

Hey there @RoseBlue and @TAB 🙂🌺

All the best to you both 🤗💜

Re: Daily Achievements!

Been skipping a few here and there @Glisten 🌺 ..however, the acknowledgement of how challenging this can be makes me realise those moments when self care can’t be done or can’t be prioritised due to other pressing tasks, and that it’s ok to pull back a bit and give things a bit of a break, and create that space where I can take the time to gather the wherewithal to wash my hair and clean my teeth 🙂💜🌺

thank you 🤗🌺
