The Highlight of Your Day thread

The Highlight of Your Day thread

I thought it might be nice to have a place to share the highlight of your day (even if it's found in a fleeting moment) 🙂

For me today, the highlight of my day was finishing the most annoying round of crochet in a blanket I have been working on for months. This round has taken me so long and I've found it so frustrating that I didn't think I would ever finish the project. Stitch by (incredibly frustrating) stitch it came together. Super excited to get to change colours and start the next round now!

Looking forward to hearing anyone else's highlights 🙂

Re: The Highlight of Your Day thread

Thank you so much @CheerBear for starting this. I think it's good for me to reflect on this daily so I build positive memories for each day too.

Today was playing pictionary at my 'focus' group. It brought me to the here and now and was a bit of fun and pushed the brain cells a little when they needed it.

Sorry I kind of dropped out today. Just needed time out.

I hope everyone else has s highlight they can find

hugs to all 💜🤗

So glad you are in a place where you are able to find and share good @Former-Member 🙂 I love your highlight - that sounds fun!

My highlight was hearing some really great news from someone I care about who was in a similar situation as me. I cried happy tears of relief with her and we laughed together on the phone for a while. It was special and a nice change from the tears of pain and frustration we have shared. A rainbow for her today that I was lucky enough to see as well.

@Former-Member, cool how simple things can sometimes be the most helpful sometimes. Glad you are finding that looking for highlights of each day is helpful. Me too.

@CheerBear, great to hear your friend has had some good news and that you shared that moment of laughter and shared celebration on the phone.

Highlight of today here might have been starting to put together a new home-made video. Very early days, not sure what it might become yet. A fresh moment of anticipation, kind of like the first marks on a 'blank page'. Glad I started something new because I haven't started a new project for a little while.

Playing my piano again for the first time in months, really letting go, letting out some intense emotions. Quietlu thanking God for my gift of music, and for helping me use it again 🙂

Highlight of today here was taking a bus ride to meet up with my Phams support person at the shopping mall. She was a bit late so I got my fruit and veg shopping done before she arrived. We then went for coffee and talked for about an hour, before I caught the bus home. It was a really interesting conversation about ways to anchor better habits in the body (through repetition basically). We also talked at length about peer support in mental health. Some of the chat was focussed on my progress. She knows me well after all this time of meeting so regularly and told me she is proud of me. I'm grateful for the gift of her presence in my life for this past year.

My highlight for today was having no work written down so we could do a couple of jobs for my mum @CheerBear xx

That was beautiful that you shared the rainbow @CheerBear with your friend. It would have been a truly amazing thing to share. 💜
Loved that you played piano again @Former-Member. That's fabulous. 💜
@Mazarita awesome to see you leaving the flat and doing really positive things after your recent imposed curfew due to the weather. I am so glad you have this connection and support with your support worker. Look at the progress you've made. 💜
@Shaz51. It's lovely that you got to do some things for your mum and not under too much pressure with the free day. 💜
Hiya @Former-Member 👋💜

I've had to push myself to find something today. After a really rough morning I finally got to my mindfulness class. It's the last of the term and so it's like a revision where we chose our favourite activities. I was quite distressed when I arrived and couldn't hold back the tears in the breathing activities. I couldn't focus on the activities and my brain kept taking me back to distress. The last activity we did was playing with shaving cream. It was this that grounded me and help me find calm. I was able to use all my senses except taste (not even slightly tempted to either). So the little child in me played and was bought back to the present. It's the highlight of my day and I am going to buy some for my coping box. It was definitely something I think that would help me self soothe.
Take care everyone. 💜🤗

My highlight today was walking in the room to be greeted with massive hugs by a handful of excited little fish

Great to hear about your progress and the connection you have with your phams person @Mazarita
Love that highlight @Shaz51 - hope it was a nice day

Re: The Highlight of Your Day thread

Big hugs @Former-Member. Nurturing your inner child often feels soothing. Really well done on being able to find the good even when it's hard. Lots of respect for how tough that can be to do ❤️
