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.

What a good day @Judi9877

I have had a bit of a slow day today, last couple of days have been constant tafe work, but today was shopping day.

I refilled the gas bottle for the bbq, did some bunnings shopping and then got everything ready for a yummy dinner of burgers and chips.

We have been growing a garden and the lettuce was ready for picking so burgers it was..

I also spent some time watching tv with the Marvel TV show "what if" which I thought was enjoyable and i can use my arm again after the phifzer shot making my arm dead.

Re: Daily Achievements!

I got my Full-Size Garbage Bin back today!

Council took away my old Bin (supposedly to Replace it) - Then gave me a Tiny (1/2 Size) Bin.

At 1st I thought I just had to put up with it - Although it was a Mistake, as everyone else in the Street seem to still have their Full-Sized Bin.....

Then I decided to Fill Out a Council Online "Lost or Stolen Bin" Form - That's all they had.

There was no way of writing (explaining) that I had been given the wrong Sized Bin.

So the Council Bin Delivery man turned up this morning - "So you never asked for this Small Sized Bin - They just sent it" (instead of my old bin) he said.

"Yes" I said - "I thought they must have Run Out of Full-Sized Bins".

"No, we have 100's of them" he said "It was a Mistake".

"You did the Right thing" he said - Which is a Very Rare Compliment from a Council person....

I could not manage with that Small (1/2 Sized) Bin - It was just too small....

Re: Daily Achievements!

Well done @Judi9877

Re: Daily Achievements!

Lol @Adge ,

Bins are delivered according to the rates paid. Different sized bins cost different amounts. Check your council rates lol. You can compare it with the prices on their website.

I've got the smallest bin possible, because I live on my own, and don't see why I should be paying for a large bin when I barely use it and take it out once a month or less!

Also, @Judi9877 , congrats on your achievements!

as for me, I'm just glad I've completed this working week and had a chance to go for a walk in the beautiful sunshine today.

Re: Daily Achievements!

Not here they're not @BPDSurvivor Equality - Everyone Gets the same Size Bin.

Perth, WA.

Plus I paid Full Rates of $1500 every year, for 20 years - That's how long I've been in this Suburb (Local Gvnt Council Area).

That's a very Strange Concept - Even when I grew up in Sydney (was there for 25 years) - They never Discriminated, based on Rates Paid....

Re: Daily Achievements!

I don't think it's personal @Adge - just stupidity.
@BPDSurvivor, i hardly ever have to put my bin out either. I have a full size cause renting here. It's only ever half full when I put it out cause gets achit smelly. Sometimes I sneek my rubbish in m neighbours bin as he's alone too and seems silly to make truck stop twice.
This week it was full though cause I pruned the bottle brush tree ✔️
RePotted succulents ✔️
Visited friend going through hard time ✔️ Gifted her one of my favourite Succulents that look like a flower ✔️
Dishes done ✔️ washing✔️ Georgia Dog groomers ✔️ (little princess she is now 👑) ✔️ shower ✔️. Checked in on my friend having chemo ✔️ prayed for those who continue to be vindictive and hurtful & let them go ✔️ sorted car insurance (not mentioning I sleep in it sometimes lol) ✔️

Thought I was falling apart but not doing too bad seems 💙

Re: Daily Achievements!

Hello... I salute everyone's achievements... today I accept that I'm chronically depressed and need to start celebrating small achievements.

Yesterday I worked out how to change my profile picture to a dormouse.

I had my breakfast.

I had 4 glasses of water and 4 cups of tea*.

I took my vitamins and antidepressants.

I took my antibiotics for my abscessed tooth.

I had a shower and washed my hair with my salon quality shampoo and conditioner.

I cleaned my teeth.

I trimmed and filed my nails.

I did an affirmation in the mirror for 20 minutes (not in one go)

I took my Pug for a walk.

I walked to the supermarket and back and got a few things.

I made chilli beef for dinner.

"I love and accept myself exactly as I am."

*I will have 2 more glasses of water and 2 more cups of tea before I go to bed.
