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 had my shopping delivered from Coles but I won't do it again because the quality of the fruit and vegetables isn't very good.

I took my Pug for a walk in the sunshine and I realised while I was walking him that I feel angry about something, but I'm not sure what I feel angry about.

I took my vitamins and antidepressants.

I have just turned the heater up and made myself a cup of tea and I'm going to listen to my audio book now. My Pug is snoring softly beside me.

Re: Daily Achievements!

I did my Saturday morning Yoga Class, this morning.

I got my 3 Aviaries all done, this afternoon - Stocked up all their Seed Hoppers, cleaned & Refilled their Water Hoppers.

Did a bit of cleaning in there.

Baby Barbary Dove (gorgeous Fluffy thing) is still sitting on the Aviary Floor - it cannot fly yet.

It's parents are feeding & looking after it, on the Aviary floor - They even sat on the Baby Dove at night, to keep it warm (that's what they do with their babies).

I'm just back home, after doing some shopping.I did not get all my shopping done, as I ran out of energy.

There an unusually high number of weird Drivers on the road (this afternoon) - They were swerving between Both Lanes, cutting other Cars off, etc.

So No Thanks, I had enough of Putting up with that (a bit dangerous) - So came straight home.

I ate healthy food all day.

I put a treatment in my hair.

I had an appointment with a disability advocacy worker and she's going to help me with my housing agency (and other problems).

I went to the supermarket and bought some lettuce and some raw vegan chocolate*.

*I'm not a vegan. I have a lactose intolerance and I can only eat dairy products that are low in lactose like yoghurt and hard cheeses. I don't eat regular chocolate anymore, ever since I gave up sugar a few years ago. The raw vegan chocolate is sweetened with coconut nectar and contains no cane sugar.
