Celebrate Each Other's Wins! 🥳

Celebrate Each Other's Wins! 🥳

Hello Forum Friends! 💛

So, I have been yappin' away with my fellow peer support workers about how many amazing shifts, changes, and adaptations you have all been making throughout your mental health journeys, and we thought it would be wonderful to create a space where you can Celebrate Each Other's Wins! 🥳

This can look like acknowledging someone's courage when reaching out, a challenge they have overcome, a creative project they have completed, or even a thank you for the ways that they have supported you on the forums.

Essentially, if you see someone do something that makes you smile - share it! 🤩

Of course, you're more than welcome to let us know if you don't want to participate, as we understand that some people like to celebrate more privately. As always, this is a choose-your-own-adventure activity. ✨

We are very excited to see you celebrate each other (because you deserve it!). 🥰

Re: Celebrate Each Other's Wins! 🥳

I love this idea @rav3n.

I finally said ‘no’ to something at work. I did feel some initial guilt and anxiety about it (I usually say yes and take on more than I can handle) but it’s made me feel a lot better, like I have some breathing space, so no regrets.

I hope you all have something to celebrate. If nothing else, let’s celebrate the fact that we can be here for each other, in some small but not insignificant way.

Re: Celebrate Each Other's Wins! 🥳

@rav3n I'm really proud of you for prioritising your wellbeing and taking a much needed break!

A small but meaningful win for me recently was being brave and seeing a new GP at a new practice, it was quite a scary idea due to past negative experiences with other GP's, but I actually had such a positive experience and I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm genuinely excited to go back there!

Re: Celebrate Each Other's Wins! 🥳

After quitting a job earlier this year due to a combination of unsustainable toxic work environment and needing to provide additional support at home, I signed a contract this week for a full time job.

While I have enjoyed the casual work we have been blessed with, I am looking forward to this new challenge and opportunity.

Some risk involved dialing back on the 'hand holding' but a win win for capacity building.
