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.

The only thing that gets me out of bed is coffee and meditation.

Great stuff @Judi9877 I don't know what it is which hormones get released after a completion of goals but it always feels good yeah? I like how we can feel good about by doing things we need to do. Some kind of endorphin rush or something. Hello @Glisten on the way through! Good luck today @TAB

Re: Daily Achievements!

I am new to this site and I have been scrolling through the discussions and I came across the " Daily Achievements ".

I almost cried. What a fabulous post. As a person who has been dealing with chronic depression, PTSD, anxiety and panic disorder for 24 years, I am so proud to see people encouraging and supporting our small Daily Achievements. Fantastic job to everyone who is struggling but managed to push through and achieve something today.

Today I have - had a shower ( I struggle with this when I am quite unwell)

- swept and mopped the house

- talked to some friends.

I look forward to following others Achievements on the wellness journey.

Aww yay @dehaha it warms me to know how meaningful this space is for you! Kudos on your achievements today 😊

I think celebrating the small wins is so important. Like we can berate ourselves over a simple mistake, so we should also get to praise the little successes with just as much fervor!

Anyway, glad to have you with us, hope you find it to be a warm and welcoming community!

Re: Daily Achievements!

Someone said if we are feeding ourselves, doing dishes, making our beds and washing ourselves each day we are winning.

I didn't win today. But I did acknowledge I've crashed.
