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!

I'm making a tuna and mushroom pilaf with brown rice! I got the idea for the recipe here...

https://www.deliciousmagazine.co.uk/recipes/tomato-and-tuna-pilaf/

I was going to make a tuna and mushroom pasta bake, but when I opened the cupboard I realised I had no pasta. I had forgotten to buy it. I was like "Oh no, what am I going to do?" and nearly gave up on the whole idea.

So, to cut a long story short, I'm making a dish that's a combination of one recipe I usually make, baked brown rice risotto, and this one, tuna and tomato pilaf.

I'm proud of myself for not giving up, and for being creative and resourceful when I'm in a bind 😊

I will let you know how it goes.

Re: Daily Achievements!

I made it! It turned out perfectly. It was so yummy and easy to make.

I also put a treatment in my hair, had a shower and cleaned my teeth. And now I'm going to listen to my audio book before I go to sleep.

Re: Daily Achievements!

I contacted the manager at the bike store about my bike...and it's still available! Yay me!

I did some shopping.

I bought myself a 45g block of raw vegan chocolate.

I made a salade niçoise for dinner.

I listened to some 90's British indie rock music and danced in my kitchen.

Now I'm going to put a treatment in my hair and have a shower.

Hi @TAB

I love The Stone Roses. 90's indie rock (mostly British) is my favourite music.

How about this...

Re: Daily Achievements!

Oh, salon quality means the type that hairdressers use and sell. I use mostly Goldwell Dualsenses Rich Repair products on my hair. In the past you could only buy these types of products from a hair salon (and they were very expensive), but now you can buy them online.

Hi @TAB

No you didn't wake me. I was listening to music. I was listening to David Bowie earlier.
